National Civics Bureau

On 19^th March my college make activities to go to National Civics Bureau (BTN) at Bukit Sagu, Kuantan, Pahang. BTN is an agency of the Malaysian goverbment in the Prime Minister's Department. It was established in 1974 as the Youth Research Unit (Unit Penyelidikan Belia) under the Youth Ministry, but was renamed and transferred in 1981. BTN's stated objective is to nurture the spirit of patriotism and commitment to excellence among Malaysians, and train leaders and future leaders to support the nation's development efforts.

For me, it was good effort from government to make people more love at Malaysia. In addition with program 1 Malaysia. At BTN, participated will get more information about Perlembagaan, Contract Social and history of Malaysia and independence of Malaysia. It also teaches us how to speak in larger or smaller group. We also watch movie ‘Hati Malaya’. For me it such a good movie to decrease racist in our people.

My spirit

In this post I like to write about shoes. I addicted to shoes because for me it unique and sometime it can present our self. As we see in this future, shoes is not something that difficult to get. For example, famous brand that sell shoes is VINCCI, NIKE, NOSE, ADIDAS and many more. Several type of shoes are ankle boot, summer sandle, flat or skimmer, heel shoes, wedge shoes, athletic shoes, and slippers.

We can use heel shoes to go to function like dinner and it not suitable for wear it if we need to walk in the long period. This because of the biggest problem with high heeled shoes is that they are often hard to walk in, even with practise. They tend to focus the entire weight of the body onto the heels which makes balancing a lot more difficult. This also puts more of a strain on the legs and ankles and can result in aching muscles and sprains. Not to mention that they often become painful after a few hours or wearing and need to be removed due to rubbing on the foot. But, when I wear a heel shoes it increase my confident to walk and posture of body. In addition, leg also look more sexy.

Wedge shoes has unique quality. Even though it high, but it comfort to wear compare to heel shoes. It seem look like with heel shoes. For whom like to walk the best shoes is sandle or flat shoes. It not stylish or popular like heeled or wedge shoes but it has quality that heeled and wedge shoes will never beat. So, if u want to look stylish even u wear flat shoes u must make sure pick the fashionable colour.

For sport shoes, every single sport need different design of shoes. For example footballer need shoes that give motion of the foot, making it superbly flexible and supple which is very important that relies on your speed and quick turning. For squash sport, the shoes that player need is shoes that is cushioned and very responsive to get best game.

So, that is the several information that I can share with you all. Wear whatever you want or like. Sometimes it maybe not comfortable but it nice and maybe it not nice but comfortable. For me, I will choose nice rather than comfortable. :-)

LIVER

Our body has many part of it. And any of it has their own function. At this post I want to share with you all about liver. let's check it out.

What is the Liver?

The liver is the largest glandular organ of the body. It weighs about 3 lb (1.36 kg). It is reddish brown in color and is divided into four lobes of unequal size and shape. The liver lies on the right side of the abdominal cavity beneath the diaphragm. Blood is carried to the liver via two large vessels called the hepatic artery and the portal vein. The heptic artery carries oxygen-rich blood from the aorta (a major vessel in the heart). The portal vein carries blood containing digested food from the small intestine. These blood vessels subdivide in the liver repeatedly, terminating in very small capillaries. Each capillary leads to a lobule. Liver tissue is composed of thousands of lobules, and each lobule is made up of hepatic cells, the basic metabolic cells of the liver.

What is its major function?

The liver has many functions. Some of the functions are: to produce substances that break down fats, convert glucose to glycogen, produce urea (the main substance of urine), make certain amino acids (the building blocks of proteins), filter harmful substances from the blood (such as alcohol), storage of vitamins and minerals (vitamins B, D, K and B12) and maintain a proper level or glucose in the blood. The liver is also responsible for producing cholesterol. It produces about 80% of the cholesterol in your body.

Diseases of the Liver

Several diseases states can affect the liver. Some of the diseases are Wilson's desease, hepatitis (an inflammation of the liver), liver cancer, and cirrhosis (a chronic inflammation that progresses ultimately to organ failure). Alcohol alters the metabolism of the liver, which can have overall detrimental effects if alcohol is taken over long periods of time.

Hemocharomatosis can cause liver problems.

Medications that negatively effect the liver

Medications have side effects that may harm your liver. Some of the medications that can damage your liver are: serzone, anti-cancer drugs (tagfur, MTX, and cytoxan), and medications used to treat diabetes.

Serzone is a prescription drug manufactured by Bristol-Myers Squibb for the treatment of depression.

The possible side effects of Serzone® are: agitation, dizziness, clumsiness or unsteadiness, difficulty concentrating, memory problems, confusion, severe nausea, gastroenteritis, abdominal pain, unusually dark urine, difficult or frequent urination, fainting, skin rash or hives yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes (jaundice) or a prolonged loss of weight or loss of appetite.

If you or a family member have suffered serious side effects or a fatal injury after taking Serzone®, you or the family member may be eligible to file a claim against the manufacturer. You should contact an attorney that specializes in class action lawsuits immediately.

To help prevent liver damage, let your doctor know about your liver condition when being treated for other conditions. Medications come in many forms and it is best to find out what is in them and what it can do to your live.
