<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">1. Sleep</span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">If you want to work late at night, think again. When your biorhythms are off, you end up eating more. When you’re tired you produce more ghrelin, which triggers cravings for sugar and other fat-building foods. Losing sleep can also alter your hormone production, affecting your cortisol levels that cause insulin sensitivity, prime reasons for belly fat! Getting about 7 hours of sleep a night is one of the best things you can do for your body shaping goals.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">2. Short bursts of exercises</span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">1000 crunches a night may get you strong abdominal muscles, but with a full layer of fat on top, you will not get the results you really want. Instead of all those crunches, do exercises that engage multiple muscle groups and work your cardiovascular system. Try planking, where you hold yourself in a push-up position, resting your forearms on the ground. Try 3 or 4 sets of holding for 30 seconds each. Getting up and moving throughout the day by going for walks will also help.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">3. Sugar is your Enemy</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
Fighting belly fat is 80% healthy diet. Reduce calories by filling yourself up with protein, vegetables, whole grains, and replacing bad habit snacks with good ones. For example, if you have a sugar craving, replace your calorie laden latte with a Muscle Milk lite, one of my favorites, because it has zero sugar and a ton of protein that will satiate while also torching my sugar craving! Another great trick is a sprinkle of cinnamon in your morning coffee or oatmeal- the spice has been shown to help stabilize blood sugar. It also slows the rate at which food exits the stomach, which helps you feel fuller longer.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><b>4. Vitamin C</b></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
When you’re under extreme stress, you secret more cortisol hormone. Vitamin C helps balance the cortisol spikes that happen to you under this stress. Besides being a good way to counteract a cold, Vitamin C is also essential for making carnitine, a compound used by the body to turn fat into fuel, making this vitamin your fat burning friend.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
If you’re going through an emotional crisis, stress from work, or a bad eating splurge, increase your vitamin C – it’ll help counteract the negative side effects. Try bell peppers, kale or kiwi fruits. These have even more Vitamin C than the famous Orange</div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 24px;"><b>5. Eat Fat</b></span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px;">Yup, you heard me! It takes fat to burn fat. Like I said above, it’s sugar that gets you fat, not fat. Good fats include foods rich in Omega 3′s, like salmon, avocados & walnuts. These foods are full of nutrients that help keep you satiated throughout the day.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">6. Slowing down your breath</strong></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
This is a very simple method that you can use even when you’re in the midst of doing something else. Whenever you notice you’re feeling tense and uptight check and see how you’re breathing. Most people under stress either alternate holding their breath with short breaths, or take rapid shallow breaths. After you become aware of your own breathing, consciously relax your belly and slow down the breathing. This works best if you focus on slowing down the exhalation rather than your inhalation. With each exhalation you can say to yourself “slow down”. That is all there is to it- Simple but surprisingly effective!!!</div>

Today, i will post on my blog about the way to increase the blog traffic... i get this article on the <a href="http://www.wikihow.com/">wikihow</a><br />
i hope this will help all of us to increase our blog traffic..<br />
<br /></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /><div>
1.<b>Create great content</b>. Interesting content that can't be found anywhere else is what will keep readers coming back to your site once they get there. If your content isn't unique or compelling, no one will want to visit your blog. Work on writing posts that offer your readers something informative, interesting, or fun that they can't find on other sites.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2.<b>Choose a catchy and descriptive title</b>. The title of your blog is one of the first things that readers will see and one of the factors that search engines use to determine what your blog is about. The title of your blog should let readers know right away what your blog is about. It should be easy to remember, not too long, and not too similar to another website's name.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3.<b>Make your site easy to use</b>. Good design won't save bad content, but bad design can keep readers from looking at your site. Make sure your blog is easy to read and that your most important features are easy to find. Recruit a few friends to check out the site and tell you if they have any problems getting around and reading your posts. Depending on what platform you're using, you may have limited control over the design of your blog, but take the time to learn how to customize what you can and make your site as user friendly as possible.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4.<b>Publicize your site</b>. Tell all your friends that you have a new blog. Ask them to check it out and recommend it to their friends. You can do this by talking directly to your friends, sending instant messages or by putting a link to your blog in your web forum signature.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
5<b>.Ask for link exchanges</b>. Seek out blogs and websites that cover the same material you do in your blog and ask if they would like to exchange links. If they accept, they will put links to your blog on their sites and you will put links to their sites on yours. You can also exchange links with friends, but keep in mind that their websites may not have the same focus as your blog and their readers may not be interested in what you're writing about.</div>
<br /><br /></div>

By Rohana Mustaffa<br />
<br />
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 4 (Bernama) -- "People say when something is being mentioned many times, then it becomes an invocation," said Indah when asked why she chose that name.<br />
<br />
Han Xiao, as with the other undergraduates at Beijing University's Foreign Studies, were encouraged to pick a Malay name when they signed up to learn the Malay language and she chose the name 'Indah'.<br />
<br />
Indah said she chose Bahasa Melayu due to the beauty of the language.<br />
<br />
"When I heard Bahasa Melayu for the first time, I was captivated by its style, rhythm and sway that are sweet to the ears," she said.<br />
<br />
And because of these, Indah fell in love with the language and signed for four years of learning Bahasa Melayu at Beijing University. After graduating with a Bachelor's degree in Malay Literature, she read Malay Language and socio-culture for her Master's degree at University Malaya.<br />
<br />
Last year, she obtained her Master's degree and received her scroll at a convocation yesterday (Tuseday). She is currently doing her PhD at the university.<br />
<br />
Indah began by learning the alphabets in Bahasa Melayu and was fortunate to have no problems pronouncing the "rrr" as compared to her 20 coursemates who came from all over China. Their lecturers were also Chinese nationals, who were assisted by language experts from Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP).<br />
<br />
Now, the faculty has the Bahasa Melayu chair held by Prof Dr Awang Sariyan.<br />
<br />
FELL IN LOVE<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
"There is a Malay saying that "you never fall in love without knowing each other" and I have fallen in love with Bahasa Melayu, learning more about the Malay socio-culture and world and I want to be a Bahasa Melayu lecturer at Beijing University," said the only child of her family.<br />
<br />
Indah's parents, her father is a 53-year-old police officer and mother who is a 50-year-old welfare officer, gave Indah the encouragement to learn the language and culture that is so foreign to them.<br />
<br />
"My parents are open minded. They know that their daughter, in learning a foreign language would also learn that foreign culture and religion. They know I am learning.<br />
<br />
"Bit by bit, I taught them simple sentences in Bahasa Melayu until my mother can reply 'Indah tidak ada di rumah' (Indah is not home) when my lecturer called me at home".<br />
<br />
Indah has a reason why she switched from learning Bahasa Melayu at the first degree level to focus more on the Malay socio-culture and family institution at the Master's and PhD level.<br />
<br />
"I was drawn to that topic while attending the Malay Studies Academy class on Malay family and chanced upon several articles written by Prof Datuk Dr Yaacob Harun who did much research on the Malay society. He is an expert on the Malay family institution, Malay marriage, situation of Malays in the urban areas and the Malay socio-culture," she said.<br />
<br />
THESIS<br />
<br />
"Previously, Indah knew the Malays via textbooks. They are very polite, courteous and with manners apart from holding to the religion and Malay etiquittes," she said.<br />
<br />
Indah's thesis' research for her Master's found that the low-income Malay families in urban areas undergone much change in social values in all aspects due to the urbanisation and development mainstream, particularly in the family institution aspect.<br />
<br />
The change in the family's social values in urban areas resulted in youths from the low-income families falling prey to the social diseases.<br />
<br />
"The study reveals that the change in Malay social values in urban areas has influenced the development of the youngsters and contributed to the increase in social problems affecting this group. The negative activities include smoking, loafing and free sex," said Indah.<br />
<br />
For Indah, the change of the parents' role from giving focus to the growing up of their children to being busy with their respective careers in order to meet the economic demands resulted in the lack of attention on their children.<br />
<br />
The findings of this thesis had also caught the attention of Information Communication Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim who happened to receive the courtesy call by Prof Dr Awang Sariyan and Prof Wu Zong Yu who has 40 years experience in teaching Chinese nationals the Malay language.<br />
<br />
Dr Rais had also enquired from Indah, who was in the entourage, on her thesis and expressed his interest in seeing a copy of it. Dr Rais also suggested for the thesis be turned into a book.<br />
<br />
NOT DISAPPOINTED<br />
<br />
To Indah, what she had discovered in the study did not diminish her admiration for the Malay language and culture.<br />
<br />
"What had happened to the young Malays during urbanisation also happened in China due to the western influence in developing nations to the extent that they were swayed by the same phenomenon, the way they speak and eat, the worst was the way they practice sex before marriage," she said.<br />
<br />
If in the west teenagers getting pregnant before marriage is something normal, in Malaysia this practice is forbidden by religion while in China, a country of the East, this act is taboo and that is why some resorted to actions like baby dumping.<br />
<br />
For Indah, she is not disppointed with the thesis' findings even though it was different from what she had read about the Malay language and society particularly in the 50s and 60s.<br />
<br />
But she was sad with the 'negative' changes.<br />
<br />
"I am an Oriental, and as an Oriental I have no bad intention in doing this research. To me Malaysia and China are the same and it is hoped that this study is able to assist those who wish to overcome the social problems that affect the youths.<br />
<br />
"I have many Malay friends and love this race. I want to help via this way," she said.<br />
<br />
NO PREJUDICE<br />
<br />
Indah also accepted the fact that while making her study on the Malays and their culture, she could not separate the culture and Islam from their way of life.<br />
<br />
"My supervisor, Prof Wan Abdul Kadir Wan Yusuf advised that if I wished to study the Malay culture, I must know about Islam first, must have knowledge about Islam and the reasons why Malays cannot be separated from Islam.<br />
<br />
"To me, as a student of Bahasa Melayu, I must understand one thing, that is the pledge to study other people's culture and to respect their way of life, if we are to have prejudice, then the study held will not achieve its objective," she said.<br />
<br />
Indah now teaches Mandarin in the joint programme held between the Kongzi Institute for the Teaching of Chinese Language China and Universiti Malaya.<br />
<br />
The programme which began last November focuses on Mandarin as the communication language with the first module at 40 hours in eight weeks. It is opened to those who are interested in learning Mandarin.<br />

PUTRAJAYA: Students must not only equip themselves with professional skills but also generic ones if they were to become future drivers of a high-income nation.<br />
<br />
Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said while ac-quiring professional expertise was crucial, students should develop sound problem-solving skills and the ability to come up with new ideas.<br />
<br />
"Students should not restrict themselves to seeking knowledge merely during lectures but be more creative in acquiring knowledge from various avenues and sources.<br />
<br />
<br />
"This includes participation in activities that could expose them to various experiences, skills and knowledge that cannot be gained during lectures.<br />
<br />
"Leadership and organisational management skills, for example, can be acquired and sharpened through participation in associations or clubs at institutions of higher learning," Muhyiddin, who is also education minister, said at the opening of the National Students Consultative Council meeting at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre, here yesterday.<br />
<br />
Also present was Higher Education Minister, Datuk Seri Mohd Khaled Nordin.<br />
<br />
<br />
Muhyiddin said students' participation and engagement in discourses could also enhance their thinking and analytical skills.<br />
<br />
They could also master the art of putting their arguments across besides churning out good ideas and suggestions.<br />
<br />
They, he said should build on these vital skills during their university days.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
"This way, student community in our country will not only develop leadership talents but also sharpen minds in handling issues that come their way," he said.<br />
<br />
This, he added would train them to be ready to listen to opposing or differing views.<br />
<br />
Muhyiddin said he believed that by being all-round thinkers, students would also be able to refrain from being dragged into pointless polemics.<br />
<br />
"God willing, by encouraging healthy discussion and exchange of views, our students will be more open in handling various current issues.<br />
<br />
"I believe that as educated people with access to various sources of knowledge and information, our students will be able to analyse issues of interest in a just and objective manner."<br />
<br />
Muhyiddin expressed hope that students in both public and private institutions of higher learning could help the government by making meaningful contributions to national development.<br />

S. said personal financial management should be taught in schools.<br /><br />“What they teach in schools now is very academic and may not be adequate for children to ‘survive’ in society,” he said.<br /><br />“Teaching children about the importance of saving money is not good enough. When children get older, they also need to know how to manage, grow and protect their money,” he added.<br /><br />Trainer Chu Lai Yee was quick to caution that parents should not rely on any courses alone and expect their children to be financial-savvy over night.<br /><br />“Parents must also do their job by reinforcing the positive values we teach in the camp at home,” she said.<br /><br />As a start, Chu advised parents to treat their children like adults.<br /><br />“Don’t give them the fish. Instead, show them how to fish. Show them how to, for example, open a bank account, rather than do it for them,” she said.<br /><br />Making children work hard for something they want would make them understand the importance of money, she added.<br /><br />“If they want something, they have to work for it. So they should be encouraged to take up summer jobs which they could earn some pocket money.”<br /><br />However, she said, many Malaysian parents were overprotective and worried for their children’s safety, so most of them would not allow them to work.<br /><br />“If that’s the case, parents perhaps could be the designated ‘driver’ that takes their children back and forth from work so they know their whereabouts,” she said.<br /><br />When teaching children about financial management, Chu said parents or teachers should speak in a language that they could understand, such as by telling stories to explain complicated conceptsAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06300019809600288769noreply@blogger.com0
