  • Theme: Environment, People
  • Topic: Eco-friendly, Relationships, Gender Roles
  • Main ideas : Women are more attracted to men who are concerned about ecology. This is because most women themselves are interested in ecology and eco-responsible men are perceived as more altruistic, faithful and good fathers.
  • Opinion: I enjoyed reading this article very much because it never crossed my mind that eco-friendly behaviour could be attractive to women. Women do undertake more green actions than men (you can see them everywhere with their recycle bags) and now there's an extra reason for men to go green!

Topic : Poor sleep linked to dementia and early death, study finds
    2. Theme : Health

    3. Main Ideas :

    Older adults who have significant difficulty falling asleep and who experience frequent night awakenings are at high risk for developing dementia or dying early from any cause, a new study finds.

    "These results contribute to existing knowledge that sleep plays a very important role, each and every night, for reducing our longer term risk for neural cognitive decline and all cause mortality," said study author Rebecca Robbins, an instructor in medicine at Harvard Medical School who specializes in sleep research.

    The connection between sleep, dementia and early death from any cause is especially worrisome, experts say, due to the sleep habits of Americans and people around the world. According to the World Sleep Society, sleep deprivation is threatening the health of up to 45% of the world's population.

    Depending on our age, we are supposed to get between seven and 10 hours of sleep each night. But one in three Americans don't get enough sleep, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
    In addition, 50 million to 70 million Americans struggle with sleep disorders such as sleep apnea, insomnia and restless leg syndrome, which can ruin a good night's shuteye.
    The CDC calls that a "public health problem," because disrupted sleep is associated with a higher risk of conditions including diabetes, stroke, cardiovascular disease and dementia.

    4. WHAT WE CAN DO :

    Medical science has no current cure for dementia, but there are things you can do to reduce your risk.
    Stop smoking, drink only in moderation if you drink at all, eat a well balanced diet, exercise, stay mentally active and keep your blood pressure and cholesterol levels in check are excellent ways to keep brains and bodies healthy, experts say.

    You can also tackle any sleep problems by training your brain for better sleep. Experts call it "sleep hygiene," and suggest setting a bedtime routine designed to relax and soothe, which includes no TV, smartphone or other blue-light emitting device at least one to two hours before bed.
    Other tips include having a comfortable bed and pillow, keeping the bedroom cool, quiet and dark and avoiding caffeine and alcohol for hours before bed.

    5. MY OPINION :

    Our health is really important. We can live with 1000 problems at the same time we also have to give the importance to our health. So i suggest all the people whoever reading this article to take care of your health. We can earn money anytime. We have to hardwork for it. But we cant let our health aside by focusing in work or other issues. We can earn many later in many ways but how about our life? we cant get back of it again. Its like a one contract and we people must need to think and mean it as an aspect of our life also as a silver lining for see the smile and happiness in the human faces.

    Topic: Salute Our Frontliners
    Main ideas: Our frontliners are faced with deaths, as the number of Covid-19 fatalities rise. Most of them especially doctors and nurses have resigned because they are too tired. There should be more initiatives and campaigns to show our appreciation for their sacrifice. For example, many communities are doing a daily salute to frontliners by lighting candles and applauding their efforts.There are many ways to thank our fronliners such as donating a meal to the hospitals, vaccination and quarantine centres. We must stay home and venture out only when necessary to limit the spread of Covid-19.
    Opinion: I enjoyed reading this article because even though our frontliners are tired, they still carry on working to save patients' life.We must do something to help their efforts such as wearing masks and following SOPs like physical distancing. ]]>     2021-08-12 10:08:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mstanliching/jflosoedm3dc8r6v/wish/1676654117     aisyleee4 https://padlet.com/mstanliching/jflosoedm3dc8r6v/wish/1678907165 1. Theme: Health, Community
    2. Topic: National Health and Community, National Recovery Plan
    3. Main ideas:  The government had decided during the special meeting of the National Security Council that states that have already moved into Phase Two will not go back to Phase One; and states that have moved into Phase Three will not go back to Phase Two. “This is because the NRP approach emphasizes the exit strategy and (there is) no turning back.
    The government anticipates that most states will move into Phase Four or the final phase of the National Recovery Plan (NRP) as early as October.
    4. Opinion: I think this article is very important  not just to all citizens but also important for foreigners that are residing in Malaysia because everyone must know the problem, issues and plans that exist both inside and outside the country.]]>     2021-08-14 07:42:02 UTC https://padlet.com/mstanliching/jflosoedm3dc8r6v/wish/1678907165     A Love Scam hannan12303 https://padlet.com/mstanliching/jflosoedm3dc8r6v/wish/1679351567 https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2021/08/11/love-scammer-trims-off-rm105000-from-tailor

    Topic:
    Cybercrime, Love Scam

    Main ideas:
      A 36-year-old tailor from Bandar Seri Jempol here has been duped of RM105,000 in a love scam. The victim is married and met a man(scammer) who claimed to be an Indonesian on Facebook towards the end of 2018. The man(scammer) went by the name of KA Agus, claimed to live in Palembang and began professing his love for the victim.

    When she fell for him, he(scammer) started pouring out his problems to her and asked if she could loan him some cash. The victim eventually agreed to help the man(scammer) and transferred the cash in stages into 19 different Indonesian bank accounts which he claimed belonged to his family members and friends.

    The victim initially gave the man(scammer) her savings and when he asked for more, she started borrowing from family and friends. Her husband came to know about the matter when he realised that they had suddenly run out of savings. The victim then tried to contact the suspect but was unsuccessful

    Opinion:
     What I learned from this article are we should be aware of this kind of crime. Most of a love scammer's target always a young adult which is an individual aged between 18 and 25 years. We need teach our children about the sign of a scam. The sign of a scam are professes love quickly, ask for money and lures you off the dating site and claim to need money such as for emergencies, hospital bills and plan to visit, but can not because of an emergency. We need to be cautious and be a knowledgeable person when we using the technology these days.

    Topic : The biggest crypto theft in history

    Main Idea : Hackers have stolen some $600 milion in cryptocurrency from decentralised finance platform Poly Network . Poly Network urged other member of the cryptocurrency ecosystem to "blacklist" the asset coming from address used by the attacker to siphon away the funds . At last , the attacker claimed to have hacked Poly Network just for fun and give it back all the money . 

    Opinion : In my opinion the hacker just want to test the security level of the Poly Network . Poly Network will realise their own weakness and upgrade their security level to the highest level .

Although he admited in his press conference that his departure from Barcelona was very hard he also said that he was very happy at his new club and looking forward to the future .

    Opinion : In my opinion , Messi decision transfer to PSG is the best desicion . Because in PSG, Messi will have more opportunities to achieve more success (golden boot).]]>     2021-08-16 02:33:34 UTC https://padlet.com/mstanliching/jflosoedm3dc8r6v/wish/1679798589     itsmekawau https://padlet.com/mstanliching/jflosoedm3dc8r6v/wish/1679803451 THEME :

    Topic : How to get kids excited about online learning

    Main Ideas : 

    1) First, parents may have to purchase extra electronic devices. Having a good device is essential for effective online learning, especially for parents with more than one child. Although this comes at a cost, such parents have no choice but to invest in these tools. However, many are now available at affordable prices.

    2) Second, parents should prepare a comprehensive online class timetable for their children. This can be drafted based on the PdPR (home-based teaching and learning) timetable provided by the school. However, parents should ensure that free slots are given to them as continuous online learning can be tiring. Once the timetable is regulated, the children will be accustomed to it and it will become a routine.

    3 ) Third, parents should consider giving leisure breaks to their children. Being at home all the time and going through online classes continuously can be stressful for the children. Hence, allow the children to have break times and fun-based activities with siblings and parents.

    This will help ease their stress and ensure they do not feel detached from the family. This inclusiveness is an essential element in family bonding.

    Opinion :
    I really enjoyed reading this article and 
    I think this topic is quite important right now because due the pandemic covid -19 all students around the world have  to stay at home and must to join the online learning and need to focus with lessons . All students need to have the effort and parents need to engage their children in online learning so as not to be left behind in lessons . Many benefits though we learn online as parents can also control their children when they are learning and help them if they didn't understand some question or anything else .

    2.Topic :     Pregnant women should be vaccinated against COVID-19
    3.Main ideas : Pregnant woman should be vaccinated against covid-19, based on analysis that did not show increased risk for miscarriage.
    The CDC said it has found no safety concerns for pregnant people in either the new analysis or earlier studies. It said miscarriage rates after vaccination were similar to the expected rate. Pregnant women can receive any of the three vaccines given emergency authorisation - Pfizer, Moderna or Johnson & Johnson.
    4. Opinion :     I think this article is very important because pregnant women are in the high risk group. If they get infected with COVID-19, both the baby and mother may die.]]>     2021-08-16 02:55:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mstanliching/jflosoedm3dc8r6v/wish/1679821199     How to get kids excited about learning online aisyahrizuan https://padlet.com/mstanliching/jflosoedm3dc8r6v/wish/1679832918 Name : Nur Aisyah Atiqah Rizuan

    2.TOPIC: BAD EFFECTS OF BLUE LIGHT FROM DIGITALS SCREEN
    3.MAIN IDEAS:

    Recent research indicates that adults spend an average of more than 12 hours a day in front of our smartphones, tablets, TVs and computers (and that doesn’t include usage during the MCO!).

    Sleep cycle disruption
    Due to its effect on our circadian rhythm, our sleep routine is at risk of being disrupted when we are overexposed to blue light at night.

    Dry eyes and strain
    One of the main effects of blue light is that it can cause eye strain and dry eyes after prolonged periods of exposure.It potentially tires out the retinas when the eyes are exposed to it on a regular basis.
    This is mainly due to the rapidly changing glare that forces the eyes to focus harder.
    Symptoms can include a burning or stinging sensation, eye irritation, redness and sensitivity to light. In addition, you may experience headaches, blurred vision, and neck and shoulder pain.


    4.OPINION: I think this article is very useful
    and suitable to be read by all groups, especially the younger generation because nowadays most individuals are obsessed  with their gadgets and ignore the side effects of blue light.

    Topic: International Friendship Day
    Main ideas: This modern 21st century world that is fraught with challenges,crises and forces of division  that can threaten peace, security, development and social harmony among the world's people. During this pandemic covid-19, we need friendship to sustain our sense of being and our mind. International Friendship Day should stand for friendship and camaraderie among countries, where the strong help the weak and the rich aid the poor. For example, rich countries can donate vaccines to poor countries. By promoting friendship, countries can have mutual respect for one another, develop trust and build bridges which can save humankind.The world needs friendship to achieve lasting stability and to come out stronger post-pandemic. 
    Opinion: I find this article very interesting because I have learnt the importance of friendship, not just limited to our own friends and communities, but to include countries around the world. We must help each other to overcome difficulties especially during this pandemic.

    2. Theme : Environment

    3. Introduction : 

    Seeing a whale stranded on a beach often provokes a strong reaction. It can make people curious – beached whales can do strange things, like explode. It can also be upsetting to witness a creature so magnificent in water reduced to lifeless blubber on land. What rarely registers, however, is the lost opportunity for carbon sequestration. Whales, particularly baleen and sperm whales, are among the largest creatures on Earth. Their bodies are enormous stores of carbon, and their presence in the ocean shapes the ecosystems around them.

    4. Main Ideas :

    Whales are not only valuable in death. The tides of excrement that these mammals produce are also surprisingly relevant to the climate. Whales feed in the deep ocean, then return to the surface to breathe and poo. Their iron-rich faeces creates the perfect growing conditions for phytoplankton. These creatures may be microscopic, but, taken together, phytoplankton have an enormous influence on the planet's atmosphere, capturing an estimated 40% of all CO2 produced – four times the amount captured by the Amazon rainforest.


    The beauty of restoring whale populations, is that there is plenty of space in the ocean? space once filled with whales? Restoring whale populations to their pre-whaling numbers could be an important tool in tackling climate change, sequestering carbon both directly and indirectly, and thus helping to make a small dent in the enormous volume of CO2 emitted by fossil fuels every year. The resulting plumes of whale poo would also vastly outstrip the potential of ocean iron fertilisation. It would take 200 successful blooms per year to match the potential of a fully restored whale population, according to Pershing's study.

    5. Opinion :

    Tens of millions of whales have been killed, and experts believe that populations may have declined from anywhere between 66% and 90%. Marine life is really important for the stability of ecosystem. As a human who have some care on our environment, we should not support the illegal murders in the oceans and spread some awareness about marine life to all over the world. We have to throw our voice not only as a social care person, also as a person who have responsibility towards our mother nature for a happy future of the coming generation. Put the love and care as the way you look at the waves of ocean, enjoying the wind in the seaside. Dont be selfish and let the world become a dessert with no human beings. 

    No water no life, No blue no green

    Topic: 

    U.S. senators urge FTC to probe Tesla over self-driving claims

    Main ideas:
    SAN FRANCISCO/WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Two U.S. senators on Wednesday pressed the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to probe Tesla, saying the company has misled consumers and endangered the public by marketing its driving automation systems as fully self-driving.

    "Tesla and (CEO) Mr. (Elon) Musk’s repeated overstatements of their vehicle’s capabilities ... put Tesla drivers – and all of the traveling public – at risk of serious injury or death," Senate Democrats Richard Blumenthal and Edward Markey said in a letter to FTC Chair Lina Khan.

    Opinion: 
    My opinion is this vehicle is very good because it shows a very great and good technology. If this kind of innovation did not appear it shows that human beings lack creativity.

    Theme : 

    • Social issues 

    Topic : 

    • Teen Suicide 

    Main idea : 

    • Suicidal ideation is when a teen has thoughts of wanting to die.Normal developmental changes combined with stressful life events may cause a teen to think about suicide. Many of the warning signs of suicide are also symptoms of depression.

    Suicide Warning Signs:

    • Suicidal threats in the form of direct ("I am going to kill myself") and indirect ("I wish I could fall asleep and never wake up again") statements.
    • Suicide notes and plans (including online postings).
    • Prior suicidal behavior.
    • Making final arrangements (e.g., making funeral arrangements, writing a will, giving away prized possessions).
    • Preoccupation with death.
    • Changes in behavior, appearance, thoughts and/or feelings.



    What to do :

    • Remain calm.
    • Ask the youth directly if he or she is thinking about suicide (e.g., "Are you thinking of suicide?").
    • Focus on your concern for their well-being and avoid being accusatory.
    • Listen.
    • Reassure them that there is help and they will not feel like this forever.
    • Do not judge.
    • Provide constant supervision. Do not leave the youth alone.
    • Remove means for self-harm.


    Opinion :
    • Suicide can be prevented — which sets it apart from other sources of pain and suffering in the world. We need to get to a place where everybody, everywhere asks the questions that help identify at-risk individuals and get them the help that they need. Together, we can prevent these unnecessary tragedies.

    theme: health

    Main Idea:
    It's where children and adolescents learn their social skills — how to make new friends, how to interact with friends and how to handle disappointment, if any (among friends).
    "Furthermore, not all homes are safe, especially if there's domestic violence or worse, physical, emotional or sexual abuse."
    Children also live in uncertainty during this pandemic, he adds. There is constant fear of being infected or having their family members infected.
    And with prolonged use of gadgets due to being indoors, we also need to be mindful of children being addicted to gadgets, gaming and even online pornography.
       Dr Lee says symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression might overlap in children and adolescents.they may have low mood or feel sad most of the day, almost every day, which persists for more than two weeks.In children and adolescents, they may exhibit irritable moods, lose interest in their hobbies, and show changes in sleep, eating and weight patterns.

    They may also feel excessive guilt, and start feeling worthless and hopeless, which may lead to suicidal thoughts.

    opnion:
    i think this aricle is important because stress is one of the causes that causes a person to experience depression and we should prevent that from happening
