MyTeam 2 just wastes Money.

After watching the MyTeam 2 final match against Indonesia team, I was really said and upset. The way they play is horrible and didn’t have a good ball control. MyTean 2 was lost 0-2 to Indonesia. The first goal by Egi Melgiansyah 25 meers because of the mistake made by MyTeam defenders. The second goal should not be, this time the keeper had made a terrible mistake and no one MyTeam player cover the empty space in front goal. Risky Novtiansyah just made a simple heading for the second goal. If there is MyTeam 3, I was really hoped the future team will be better than MyTeam 2. My opinion, MyTeam 1 is better than MyTeam2 even they are lost to our Malaysian team but their game is nice. MyTeam 2 had wastes a lot of money going to oversea for a friendly match and training but at the end we lost!!!!

Google Page Rank, Explained!

Factors that can increase your Google PageRank

Now the Google PageRank algorithm can be very complexed, but yet friendly invention. Here is a list of things that could help boost you Google PageRank, with a rating scale beside it of how important we think it is.

* Update Pages Frequently 2/10
* Add Pages Frequently 4/10
* Good Neighborhood Directories with high PageRank Levels 7/10
* Monster Websites 7/10
* Quality Inbound links 8/10
* Quality Relevant Links 9/10
* No Broken Links 5/10
* Article Submissions (this can increase your PageRank by getting more inbound links)
* All these put together 10/10

Factors that can decrease your Google PageRank

* Bad inbound links such as Poker, Porn, Sex, Drugs, or anything to that nature
* Link spamming
* Bad Content
* Lots of broken links
* SEO Black Hat Techniques

How Google PageRank is Calculated

Okay now we are to the Google PageRank Calculations, this is very simple so pay attention, I learned it over night, not really. The factors about Google PageRank Calculation is that no one knows exactly how it works, but people have discovered over time somewhat how it works, but lets get into an example.

* PR(A) = (1-d) + d(PR(t1)/C(t1) + … + PR(tn)/C(tn))

Above is a Google PageRank algo. that was released in the development of Google algo. Thats right the actualy algo equitation . Which google is not telling us what it does, but that does not matter because the equatation is good enough.
In the equation ‘t1 - tn’ are pages linking to page A, ‘C’ is the number of outbound links that a page has and ‘d’ is a damping factor, usually set to 0.85.
A more simpler way to think of it is:

* a page’s PageRank = 0.15 + 0.85 * (a “share” of the PageRank of every page that links to it)

Share = The linking page’s PageRank is divided by the number of outbound links
A page ”votes” an amount of PageRank onto each page that it links to. The amount of PageRank that it has to vote with is a little less than its own PageRank value (its own value * 0.85). This value will be shared equally between all pages
Therefore; it would be better to get a page linked to you that has a PageRank of 5 with 2 outbound links then it would be to have a page linked to you with a PageRank of 8 with 500 outbound links, but don’t get me wrong. It would be better to have both pages linked to you, but if you was to take your choice, think about it.
Now the Google PageRank algorithm is based between a pr of 1 to 10, but many people believe that numbers are set to a algo logarithmic scale. Which there is a very good reason to believe this, but no one knows for sure outside of google, now there has probably been people that have figured it out somewhat, but to be sure, you would of had to write the Google PageRank algorithm your self.
Who invented the Google PageRank Algorithm

Google PageRank was developed at Standford University by Larry Page, and Sergery Brin. This was part of a research project for these two individuals. The project was started in 1995 and then was led to a functional prototype. In 1998, Google was founded.

UFO sighted in Kota KInabalu Sabah Borneo

Kota Kinabalu: A circular sun halo hovered over the noon skies of the State Capital Wednesday, prompting many to call the Daily Express office as to what it may portend.

In scientific terms what they saw was simply a "prism effect" of millions or may be billions of very small ice crystals that compose high altitude cirrus clouds - thin wispy clouds that are typically found at 20,000ft (6,000m).

Clouds are essentially micro water droplets but because of their extraordinary high level, these ice crystals that compose cirrus clouds originate from the freezing of super-cooled water droplets.

What was even more captivating about the phenomena and which could not be seen by the naked eye was captured by Sabah Publishing House Managing Director Datuk Clement Yeh on his Nokia E61i at around that time in Tanjung Aru.

Clement did not want to hurt his eyes and started clicking away the halo on his handphone camera placed on his outstretched palm. As it turned out, he not only captured the halo on camera but also a mysterious white speck.

"It was only on reviewing the images later that I noticed this white speck or dot. Even then, I did not think much of it as it could easily be a speck of dust on the camera lens.

"I then decided to zoom in on the speck and noticed that it was not stationary but seemed to have been in motion in a linear fashion suggesting that whatever it is, it had obviously been moving at high speed."

A professional photographer, he does not think it is a reflection on his phone lens since it was not stationary.

At this point in time, nobody is able to explain what it is but we provide these images that Clement took for the public to decide or even speculate.

Back to the sun halo, this phenomenon is fairly common among the cirrus clouds and may cause three types of effects. One, a circular halo that looks like a rainbow like the one seen above KK.

The second type of halo features a sun-dog coloured image of the sun as a bright spot in the lower left while a third type may take the form of a tangential arc - a second curve near the top of the circular halo.

Physics students would probably understand the slightly complex phenomenon better.

The circular halo is said to be formed by pencil-like (angular-shaped) ice crystals which are all falling from the sky at a rate slower than raindrops and oriented horizontally simply because that's how things fall due to air friction.

But the horizontal orientation is random and so any crystal that formed the proper angle relative to the observer and the sun bends the sunlight at a 22 degree angle thus forming a circle 22 degrees to the sun.

Here is the video


Kaitor Said:

that is just so obvious! The white blob moves in perfect sync with the camera. If it's a real UFO, the camera should be struggling to trail the white blob.

This white thing was also reported in Daily Express 12th October 2007 by special writer Kan Yaw Chong....comment from YouTube

If they said it just a camera effect, why don't they make an experiment and compare the result.It up to you now, either wanna believe the white blob an UFO or not. "Clement did not want to hurt his eyes and started clicking away the halo on his handphone camera placed on his outstretched palm. As it turned out, he not only captured the halo on camera but also a mysterious white speck." see ...Clement recording that video not to capture the UFO, but wanna record the halo.

Bursa Malaysia (bursa pursuit) online investment

My friend had told me there was a Bursa Malaysia (bursa pursuit) investment web. We can try our investment skill there with virtual money but users will use real time data. It was such an online game. The winner will have a chance to win RM500,000 worth of prizes. As we know investment is the best way to make money from our money but at the same time it very high risk. Before this I had learn to play forex and it very fun and interesting. I had learned so many new things. Honestly my skill in investment not very good but I’m happy to get a little profit compare than nothing or lost. I believe one day I will be successful but require me to learn more and more on investing.

Talking back about online investment with Bursa Malaysia, I already register in their web but it not easy to start investing; I didn’t know how to start it… need an advice from my friend and doing some research from the internet. I will make another post about bursa pursuit soon and make some tutorial how to start investing from first step to the end. If you already play this bursa pursuit, I really hope you can guide me on how to start my first investing. It really different what I had learned before and it’s a new thing to me. Thank You.

Big Screen Problem – Who Responsible?

Who is responsible to switch on the big screen at Dataran Merdeka to view the first Malaysian astronaut going to space last night? I believe thus who came down to Dataran Merdeka was really upset because big screen didn’t on. Luckily they had watched the historical moment of Malaysia going to space by 14 inc TV. Just imagine if you are in their place? I 100% guarantee DBKL or other organization who suppose to turn on the big screen tv wills apologies for that mistake. It easy to say sorry but this kind of problem can be avoid such as turning on the big screen earlier. If there is something wrong DBKL can repair it or look for the new alternative using projector. This is a very special moment and why DBKL didn’t prepare well? Malaysians really hope this kind of silly mistake will NOT happened again in the future.

Malaysian Astronaut To Space To Be Decided At Last Minute

PUTRAJAYA, Sept 24 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian astronaut to blast off to the International Space Station on Oct 10 will be decided at the last minute after both the country's candidates are recognised as astronauts.

Prime minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said today that Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor would be placed with the first crew for the Soyuz 15-S mission while Captain Dr Faiz Khaleed would join the second crew.

"All the final changes in the selection of the candidate for the mission will be decided by the Russians later. This process is necessary to ensure that the mission proceeds smoothly and successfully," Abdullah said when making the announcement live from his office here.

The two Malaysian astronauts will be at the Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan, from Friday to undergo final training before the launch on Oct 10.

Abdullah said the selection of the two was on the recommendation of the selection committee chaired by Tun Haniff Omar based on a meeting of the working committee of the Russian Intergovernmental Board and the final assessment report on the preparation of the Soyuz 15-S mission by the Russian space agency (Roscosmos).

He said the government was very proud that the Main Crew Commissioning Board had acknowledged that both the Malaysian astronaut candidates had passed with distinction and were qualified to represent the country in its first mission to space.

"This means that the country has produced two Malaysians who can join a space mission at any time when needed and has been accorded recognition by an international astronaut training body," he said.

Besides Dr Sheikh Muszaphar, 35, a medical officer from the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Hospital (HUKM), the Russians have proposed that the first crew for the Soyuz 15-S mission comprise Yuri Malechenko of Russia and Peggy Whitson of the United States.

The second crew will comprise Sharizan Sharipov of Russia and Michael Fincke of the United States besides Captain Dr Faiz, 27, a dentist with the Malaysian Armed Forces.

"On behalf of the government and people of Malaysia, I wish the mission success and I pray that it will go smoothly as planned," Abdullah said.

The programme to send a Malaysian to space was conceived in 2003 when Russia agreed to send a Malaysian to the International Space Station (ISS) as part of Malaysia's RM3.4 billion purchase of 18 Russian-made Sukhoi 30-MKM jet fighters.

Meanwhile, Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Seri Dr Jamaluddin Jarjis said it was normal to name the crew at the eleventh hour as anything could happen between now and the launch date.

"Remember Yuri Gagarin (the first man in space) was not the first choice. He was the secondary choice but was chosen at the eleventh hour because the primary choice crew came down with measles," he said.

He said the final decision on who would be on board the Soyuz -- whether the first crew team or second crew team or mixed team -- would be determined by the Russian mission director

Dr Jamaluddin confirmed that at least one Malaysian would be on board the Russian rocket to be launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan at 9.21pm (Malaysian time) on Oct 10.

Dr Jamaluddin said Dr Sheikh Muszaphar and Capt Dr Faiz were chosen from a total of 11,275 candidates since the Malaysian National Space Agency (Angkasa) started the screening campaign for the programme in 2003.

The Malaysian astronaut is expected to conduct scientific research on cancer cells in space to study the effect of a weightless environment on the cells.

He said the government planned to telecast the launch live through all the local television stations and the prime minister would also witness the historic moment through live telecast.

Dr Muszaphar and Capt Dr Faiz, both bachelors, who are currently undergoing a 12-month training at the Yuri Gagarin Aerospace Training Centre at Star City in Moscow, would be informed of the announcement later, he said.

Proton Persona

The Malaysian concern,Proton Holding Berhad launched the last available model,Persona. We’ve heard that this model will be commercialized even on Europe market.Proton Persona comes to complete an almost complete game of models, like: Waja, Gen.2 and Savy.

The new car will have a gas propeller with 1.6 liter cylinders. This prove that it is a silent engine and very economic. New Proton is new version of Gen.2.Proton is the biggest automobile producer from Malaysia, exporting vehicle in Europe and Great Britain, too.

The price for Proton Persona car reach € 11,500, but for this price you can have all conditions and endowments. In Malaysia this model already has over 2,200 requests.I bet that it will be a real success in Europe, too. In Malaysia Proton Persona coast around RM44,999 (13 217.9163 U.S. dollars) to RM55,000 (16 155.59 U.S. dollars) per unit.

As malaysian i was really proud because Malaysia can produce a world class car even it might need a bit times to be well known such as Honda, Ferrari, Fiat and BMW. Proton must work even more harder to produce car with high quality. Good Luck PROTON.

* Are you malaysian? What is your car?
