The Balloonist

A woman in a hot air balloon realised she was lost. She reduced altitude and spotted a man below. She descended a bit more and shouted: 'Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago but I don't know where I am'

The man below replied, 'You're in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude.'

'You must be an Engineer,' said the balloonist.

'I am,' replied the man, 'how did you know?'

'Well,' answered the balloonist, 'everything you have told me is probably technically correct, but I've no idea what to make of your information and the fact is, I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If anything, you've delayed my trip by your talk.'

The man below responded, 'You must be in Management.'

'I am,' replied the balloonist, 'but how did you know?'

'Well,' said the man, 'you don't know where you are or where you're going. You have risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise, which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my bloody fault.'

BIAR KAMU DIKATAKAN GILA

Berkata Zainal Abidin yakni Ali bin Husain bin Ali bin Abu Talib ridwanuLlahi ‘alaihim ajma’in dalam syairnya :

“Dari berbagai ilmu dalam dadaku

ku sembunyikan permatanya

Supaya si jahil tidak melihatnya

kerana nanti ia akan memfitnahnya

Sesungguhnya Abu Hasan (Saidina Ali bin Abu Talib karramaLlahu wajhah) telahpun berpesan akan hal ini kepada (puteranya) Al-Husain

(bahkan) sebelum itu beliau juga telah berpesan kepada (puteranya) al-Hasan

Andainya aku hebahkan rahsia ilmu itu

Nescaya mereka akan menuduhku musyrik

dan menghalalkan darahku

Kerana menganggap perbuatan keji (membunuhku)

sebagai suatu kemuliaan”

The Dust Mite Attack

There are bugs living in your bed and there are plenty of them. They're called house dust mites and they quietly live off the flakes of skin you shed. Taking steps to control dust mites in your home may reduce the occurrence of allergies and asthma.

 

Take action:

 

Here's what to do:

• Fit mattresses, duvets and pillows with air-permeable occlusive protectors which act as a barrier to dust mites and their droppings;
• Wash bedding at 60°C to destroy mites;
• Vacuum bedroom carpets and all other carpets on which children play daily;
• Vacuum the whole house at least twice a week;
• Pull the bedcovers back each morning to allow the bed to air thoroughly;
• Keep bedroom windows open whenever possible.
