What can we do to combat global warming?

While the world leaders are attending to the COP15 Copenhagen (United Nation Climate Change Conference) in the effort to combat global warming, ordinary civilian like us has got a choice to either play our role pro-actively or just sit back, wait and see.

What can we do to combat global warming?

1. Convert carbon dioxide (CO2) to oxygen (O2)

Carbon dioxide is one of the most important contributor to the greenhouse effect among all the greenhouse gasses. The good news is the carbon dioxide can be converted to oxygen by plants via photosynthesis process. Plants play a role as the carbon sinks by reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Everyone can play a part by planting trees or potted plants.

If you are staying in a landed house, please do not convert the garden to the extended car porch. Reserve the green and plant trees.

For apartments or condominiums residents, potted plants will be a good option for you. Effort does not stop in the house, put up 2 or 3 potted plants at your workstation in the office to maximise your contribution.

A part from converting carbon dioxide to oxygen, plants is also a good air filter especially in improving the indoor air quality as it is helpful in eliminating toxic gasses.

2. Buying green

Buying green is a wide topic for serious discussion. In my personal opinion, buying green is not good enough, the better option is not buying anything if the old ones still functionally well.

Let's take television for an example, changing from a CRT television to LCD television is considerable. But, changing a LCD television to a HD LCD television is kind of inconsiderate to the environment. The rational is a CRT television consumed higher wattage (power) as compared to a LCD television, and it generates harmful radiation which LCD TV don't, the benefits is justifiable for a change.

Manufacturing processes cause the carbon dioxide emmision. When a product is in demand, the manufacturer which serves as the supply will produce and fulfil the need, and this contributed to the emmission of carbon dioxide and consume resources.

Take handphone manufacturing as example. The main processor of the mobile phone may be manufactured in US. the other electrical and plastic components are manufactured in Malaysia, China, Taiwan and Thailand. The assembly process in taken place in Indonesia. The end products are then sent to US for worldwide distribution. Based on this scenario, we can conclude that gadget such as handphone is a  high carbon footprint product. Handphone industry alone may have contributed to thousands of tonnes of carbon dioxide emmission.

When we are making buying decision, please consider the pre and post carbon footprint of the product.

Lim Kok Wing University- Dangerous ( Chinese and English version)

A forwarded email written by Lim Teng Seng. Can anyone confirm if this is really happening or it is just an attempt to sabotage Lim Kok Wing University College.

Lim Teng Seng advice and suggest that all the local parents do not send their child to this college!

With love and gratitude always

To all mothers with teenage and young daughters.

Beware of local university's African students...! ! Please pass the news and warn the parents, government, students and society.

This is true and all happened within these two years!

I have a friend's daughter who is studying in Limkokwing University , and she was kidnapped by a Botswana student studying there as well. The African is 37 years old!

The daughter was kidnapped and managed to escape from that African. However, she had been raped, beaten, tied up and punched by the man. That bastard even got his African friends (Botswana students too) to rape the daughter. Now the daughter is in trauma.

Because of this case, I have investigated amongst the Limkokwing students, and there are more serious cases that had been happening within these two years. Please read and spread the news to your friends, it's not rumours. Trust me, or you may ask any of the Limkokwing students!

I am sad as it is all covered up by the Limkokwing's president - Tan Sri Lim Kok Wing.

The covered issues about Botswana students (African black):
(1) They take drugs in the University toilet and had been caught by security guard. However the president warned the guard not to spread the news.

(2) They take drugs in the university's event, especially in the Orientation night organized by the students' society and faculty. The lecturers saw the incident and they tried to stop, but they like to use the same sentence too against the lecturers: 'who the f*ck you are, we paid to Tan Sri and Tan Sri paid you, just shut up!'

(3) They get drunk and many accidents happened in Cyberjaya (too many accidents, you can check with the police station)

(4) They keep drugs in their apartments, i.e. Desa Ria, and even bring drugs to class. In the University party in Desa Ria, they took drugs and alcohol (Tan Sri Lim Kok Wing's daughter was there too).

(5) They disturb the female students, especially the Malay and Chinese students. They just take away and use their handphones without asking for permission (means they just grab!). The girls always feel scared and just keep silent as they do not know what the Botswana students (Africans) will do to them.

(6) There are classes in which of the students' population is 70% Botswana students. They do not pay attention and cannot keep quiet in the class and the local students are disturbed by them. They even argue in the classes (not only once) when the male local students asked them to shut up, end up they fight. Lecturers tried to stop the Botswana students, again, they showed the same respond 'who the f*ck you are, we paid to Tan Sri and Tan Sri paid you, just shut up!'

(7) They love to sexually harass the female students. This statement needs no further explanation! Ask the students!

(8) They do not submit assignments and are late in submitting assignments, but still pass! The concern is they still pass! What kind of quality I wonder? They deserve to repeat and fail. Is it the University policy? Their (African) government paid more to Limkokwing University , so they can pass easily? They don't even follow the lecturers' guideline, how they can pass?

(9) They even act rude to the lecturers. The lecturers just keep quiet.

(10) They scratched the lecturers' cars.

(11) They insulted the students' counsellor in front of the crowd when they not managed to cut queue.

(12) They forced the female students to give their contact numbers.

(13) They gather at their hostel every night and get drunk.

(14) They kidnapped my friend's daughter!

(15) They used Tan Sri Lim Kok Wing's and the vice president's names to cover their ugliness, of which Tan Sri Lim Kok Wing and the vice president knows! They allowed this to happen.

I hope you help to spread the news and I hope there will be a petition to ask the Higher Ministry of Education to look into the African students'
recruitment in Malaysia , especially Limkokwing University . It is already the hell of crime in Cyberjaya.. I am sure the African students bring harm.

If you do not believe, you can ask anyone of the Limkokwing students, and ask them how is the African students' attitude! The dark side of Limkokwing University is all covered up. Please take serious action and discipline the Africans ( Botswana students). Just lodge the police report and do not feel fear! At least we stop them bring harm to our children!

PS: This email is also to tell the management of Limkokwing to take action now. I need the students to spread the email and tell them that it is serious now, and no more covered! Soon we will record the videos and put in YouTube. It is so easy to capture their bad behaviour! STOP GIVING THEM TOO MUCH POWER! STOP COVERING UP FOR THEM!!

标题：请注意本地大学中的非洲学生!

请把一下消息和警告分发给所有的家长、政府、学生以及社会人士。

以下事件全部都是真实的时间，并且都是在这两年期间发生的事。

我友人的女儿就读林国荣大学（Limkokwing University），她在就读该间大学期间遭受一名博茨瓦纳学生绑架，这名非洲学生今年37岁。

他的女儿在被绑架后成功逃脱，可是她在被禁锢期间被该名男子被强暴、殴打，捆绑已经拳击。这个禽兽甚至唆使他的非洲朋友（也是博茨瓦纳学生）强暴他的女儿。目前他的女儿还未复原。

因为这宗事件，我向就读林国荣大学的学生们进行调查，发现在这两年间有比上述事件更加严重的事发生。请阅读后流布这宗新闻。这不是谣言，请相信我，您可以亲自询问任何一位林国荣大学的学生！

我感到不满的是这些事件都被林国荣大学的校长丹斯里林国荣掩盖掉了。

一下问题涵盖了博茨瓦纳学生的问题（非洲黑人）：

１.他们在大学厕所内吸食毒品并遭到保安人员抓获。可是大学校长警告保安人员不要把这件事说出去。

２.他们在大学活动中服用毒品，特别是学会和科系所主办的迎新晚会中。讲师们注意到这个情况并企图阻止他们，可是他们惯常使用同一个理由来反驳讲师：「你他妈的是谁！我们付钱给丹斯里林国荣，丹斯里付钱给你，你给我闭嘴！」

3.他们常喝醉酒。照成赛柏再也（Cyberjaya）的多宗交通意外事故（太多交通意外了，您可以查询附近的警局。）

4..他们在所居住的宿舍中收藏毒品，地点就在蒂沙丽雅花园（Desa Ria），他们甚至将毒品带往教师。在蒂沙丽雅的大学派对中，他们食用毒品和酒精（林国荣的女儿当时也在场）。

5.他们骚扰女学生，特别是马来和华裔学生。他们在没有获得允许的情况下，把对方的手机拿走并使用（也就是强夺别人的物件）。女生们非常恐惧，可是她们却保持沉默，因为她们不晓得这些博茨瓦纳学生（非洲人）会对她们做出什么事。

6. 在一个拥有70%博茨瓦纳学生的班上，他们不注意听讲，而且在课室中制造喧哗，并且干扰本地学生。他们甚至在班上争吵（不止一次），当本地学生要求他们肃静的时候，结果打起架来。讲师企图阻止这些博茨瓦纳学生，可是，再次的他们回应同样的一句话：「你他妈的是谁！我们付钱给丹斯里林国荣，丹斯里付钱给你，你给我闭嘴！」

7.他们很喜欢性骚扰女学生。这种事无需太多解释，问问学生们吧！

8.他们不交功课，或是迟交，可是却能够及格！重点是如果这些人可以及格，我在想那是什么样的水准？他们可以重复的不及格再重考。这是什么大学教学方针呢？是否他们（非洲黑人）政府给了林国荣大学大笔钱，因此他们可以很轻易的获得及格？他们甚至连讲师的指导，那他们是如何能够及格的？

9.他们甚至无理对待讲师，可是讲师都忍气吞声。

10.他们刮花讲师的车子。

11.当他们无法插队时，他们在大众面前公然侮辱学生辅导。

12.他们强迫女学生提供她们的联络号码。

13.他们每晚集合在宿舍外喝个烂醉。

14.他们绑架我朋友的女儿！

15.他们利用林国荣和该大学副校长的名誉掩护他们的丑行。林国荣和该大学副校长知道这件事，可是却任由事件的发生。

我希望您能够把这个消息传播出去，我也希望能够有人想高教部发出请愿，要求有关部门关注马来西亚的非洲学生的招收问题，特别是在林国荣大学。赛柏再也的犯罪率急速飙升，我确定这些非洲学生所带来的破坏。

如果您不相信，您可以询问任何一位在林国荣大学就读的学生，以及询问他们非洲学生的态度如何！林国荣大学黑暗的一面给遮盖了，请采取严厉行动对付这些目无法纪的非洲人，请即刻报案，切勿畏惧！至少我们可以阻止他们伤害我们的孩子！

附录：这封电邮也是在告诉林国荣管理层现在就采取行动！我需要学生们把这封电邮流传出去，告诉他们目前的情况是多么的严重，不要在掩盖事实了！不久我们将会拍下影片并上载到YouTube，要拍摄到他们那种恶劣的行径实在是轻而易举的事！

停止赋予他们太多的权力！停止掩盖他们的恶行！

居家風水搶救DIY

「家」是我們的避風港，但它也可能是最親密的敵人，讓你受害而不自知。很多人以為開公司或大戶人家，才需請風水師來看，其實一般住家風水對人們的影響，不僅最直接，也最容易讓人們發現它吉凶禍福的實際性。

基本上從易經八卦演化的家相八方位在健康上，代表著各部位的能量區，除方位和人們運勢、財運有影響外，比較具體、實際的格局對健康財運，也有很大的影響，茲說明如下：

1、大門：它是控制進出，保護隔開本宅與外異的道路，如大門空氣不流通，不清潔，則諸事不順，對外人際關係差，嘴巴和鼻子也會有疾病。

2、客廳：客廳空間應比屋內每一個房間大，客廳氣場較盛，家人相處較有凝聚力，家長較能建立領導地位，如果空間不夠大，傢俱不宜擺設太多。                  客廳亦代表一個人的門面，必須時常保持乾淨，茶几不能堆物零亂，電視機不宜太大、太近，否則會有情緒不穩，家人穩感不和的現象。而家中植物不能太多，因植物屬陰，要常剪枯葉及換舊水（髒水葉枯會使家道中落）。客廳的格局以正方形或長方形為佳，沙發椅背後應有靠，上方不可有屋樑（否則易精神緊張）。

3、臥房：臥房方位吉凶影響當事人的個人事業運勢，臥房門口屬於內在的靜電能量，影響個人貴人運、小人運、出外運…等，臥房門不可直接對大門，若臥房門直接對大門，則宜用屏風式珠簾擋。臥房天花板不可有吊燈或日光燈，最好用黃光的電燈來照明，更具溫馨氣氛，亦可增加夫婦情感，若夫妻的枕頭能常交換睡，則能增加彼此間心靈的契合力。

4、梳妝台：用於梳妝是不公開的私人場所，也是大部份人有放財物的位置，在風水上應屬個人財庫，私房錢，情愛世界與隱私秘密等。想累積私房錢，除須擁有個人的梳妝台外，還要有大鏡子，並須附有抽屜，透過大鏡子的照射功能，才能看清與分析金錢的獲利度及順利度。但須注意鏡子不可照床或門，及背後無靠。

5、廚房：廚房是整個房屋的收納處，柴、米、油、鹽、醬、醋、茶…等民生物質的地方，是家中的財庫，也是影響理財、增財的風水位置。廚房要大，財庫才會大，且必須廚房整潔乾淨。通風和採光使用白色燈光照明，廚房磁場順暢則可增加錢財的數量。

6、餐廳（桌）：餐桌要圓，象徵家運圓滿順利，最好與廚房隔開，因廚房是風水中的財庫，而餐廳則具有開銷與花費性質，兩個空間連在一起易有理財失衡及紊亂之隱憂。餐廳風水是主管主家人物質享受的能量，在牆面上掛一幅豐盛的水果畫或放一籃水果，有助一家人物質享受的滿足感。

7、浴室、廁所：浴室、廁所最好在住宅凶方，且要保持光亮、乾燥，否則影響泌尿和生殖系統的健康及男女間的情感。

8、窗戶、陽台：窗戶及陽台是本宅對外界非正式的通道與視野，亦代表桃花戀情關係及人際關係，形狀應方正必應整潔乾淨，氣流順暢，不宜堆放雜物(否則易人際關係差)。

9、神位：是心靈精神寄託力量的所在，神桌不可朝向屋後（容易家運衰竭）應安放前方視野遼闊處，如果神位雜亂寧可不安置，免弄巧成拙。

10、地板、天花板和牆壁：代表皮膚，若到處散佈塵菌或有剝落情形，容易患皮膚病。應隨時修復方可改善。

11、走道動線：可說是人體的血脈。動線要通暢，走道不能堆積物品。否則腳和腸胃系統易出疾病。亦會影響我們的潛意識，心情和神經系統。

相信依上述之方法，雖不懂方位學也可住出好運，對人生旅途有加分之效果。

給兒子的信

 An life experience sharing letter from a father to his son.

<作者介紹>
梁繼璋(1955年8月17日－)，英文名Michael， 前香港電台第二台節目主持人，也是一位名DJ、作家， 曾從事廣告、電視台等媒體創作。


我兒:

寫這備忘錄給你，基於三個原則：

(一）人生福禍無常，誰也不知可以活多久， 有些事情還是早一點說好。
(二）我是你的父親，我不跟你說，沒有人會跟你說。
(三）這備忘錄裏記載的，都是我經過慘痛失敗得回來的體驗，可以為你的成長省回不少冤枉路。

以下，便是你在人生中要好好記住的事：

（一）對你不好的人，你不要太介懷，在你一生中，沒有人有義務要對你好，除了我和你媽媽。 至於那些對你好的人，你除了要珍惜、感恩外，也請多防備一點，因為，每個人做每件事，總有一個原因，他對你好，未必真的是因為喜歡你，請你必須搞清楚，而不必太快將對方看作真朋友。

（二）沒有人是不可代替，沒有東西是必須擁有。看透了這一點，將來你身邊的人不再要你，或許失去了世間上最愛的一切時，也應該明白，這並不是甚麼大不了的事。

（三）生命是短暫的，今日你還在浪費著生命，明日會發覺生命已遠離你了。因此，愈早珍惜生命， 你享受生命的日子也愈多，與其盼望長壽，倒不如早點享受。

（四）世界上並沒有最愛這回事，愛情只是一種霎時的感覺，而這感覺絕對會隨時日、心境而改變。如果你的所謂最愛離開你， 請耐心地等候一下，讓時日慢慢沖洗，讓心靈慢慢沉澱，你的苦就會慢慢淡化。不要過分憧憬愛情的美， 不要過分誇大失戀的悲。

（五）雖然，很多有成就的人士都有受過很多教育，但並不等如不用功讀書，就一定可以成功。你學到的知識， 就是你擁有的武器。 人，可以白手興家，但不可以手無寸鐵，緊記！

（六）我不會要求你供養我下半輩子， 同樣地我也不會供養你的下半輩子，當你長大到可以獨立的時候， 我的責任已經完結。 以後，你要坐巴士還是Benz， 吃魚翅還是粉絲，都要自己負責。

（七）你可以要求自己守信，但不能要求別人守信，你可以要求自己對人好，但不能期待人家對你好。你怎樣對人，並不代表人家就會怎樣對你， 如果看不透這一點， 你只會徒添不必要的煩惱。

（八）我買了十多二十年六合彩，還是一窮二白，連三獎也沒有中，這證明人要發達，還是要努力工作才可以，世界上並沒有免費午餐。

（九）親人只有一次的緣份，無論這輩子我和你會相處多久，也請好好珍惜共聚的時光，下輩子，無論愛與不愛，都不會再見。

你的爸爸
梁繼璋
