Skimming - The art of Reading

Skimming refers to the process of quickly identifying the main ideas within a passage to get an overall impression of its content. Skimming is done at a speed three to four times faster than normal reading. People often skim when they have lots of material to read in in a limited amount of time. You can also skim when you want to see if an article is relevant to your research.

>>Tips for Better Skimming
*when skimming for the information, you glance at or read a document or report quickly, noting only the main points.
*some people read the first and last paragraphs using headings, summaries and other organisers as they move down the page or screen.
*read the headings, sub-headings and illustrations
*when you are seeking for specific information, consider reading the first sentence of each paragraph rather than reading for comprehension
*skimming works well for finding dates as well as names of people and places. It is also useful for reviewing graphs, tables, and charts.
*Take note of any italicised or boldfaced words or phrases.

Below is the example of applying skimming during reading process :

The article above telling us about the steps to surviving infestation during the event of zombie attack. It stated that it comes with 3 ways, which are
1. avoidance
2. termination
3. disposal

THE FIRST STEP>>AVOIDANCE

huarghh!!!!

heheheh....

 in this very first steps, it divided into four ways like:
1.evacuate all the family members and essential small valuables only
2.relocate to your assigned area quickly
3.do not engage with the goddam zombie
4.in the event of bite...you must do like suggested in the article

THE SECOND STEP>>TERMINATION

nani???

hai..sexy!!!

 this step only applied if you are in an unsecured location, and only if you have positively identified a zombie. termination of zombie can be done in various steps like:
1.cerebral neutralization....the most effective ways in terminating a zombie
2.center mass....suitable for stopping or slowing down targeted zombie. NOT an effective termination method.
3.lower extremities can also be applied in stopping or slowing down the zombie.

THE THIRD STEP>>DISPOSAL

twinkle2...little star...hmm....

boring..

 after terminating the zombie(s), mark the perimeter using "TAPE & TAG" style. beware!!!do not incinerate the zombie because it releases airborne toxins which could spread infection.

now..you should know right know that skimming can ease the burden of reading. Until next time....dadadidudu........

Dress to ease Stress

Researchers discovered that what you wear is how you feel. Did you believe this statement. It seems that even dressing could bring happiness and joy towards our life. Well...I admitted that me myself like to dress up to gain some confidence. I never ever thought that dressing could also ease the stress that we contained. How overwhelming it is? How far it is affecting our life? Why?

Hmmm.....it seems like there a million of questions still to be asked than providing an answer. Some say that dressing is just for impressing only not more than that. Others say it just for needs. The moral? Dress to ease stress, not just to impress.

1MALAYSIA - PEOPLE FIRST PERFORMANCE NOW

The Concept of 1Malaysia aspires to strengthen relationships among races and
ensures Malaysians sow the seed of unity as enshrined in the National Principles.
Mutual trust and respect among races needs to exist in order to sow the spirit of
unity. People must understand and practise things that place national interests as
priority.

1Malaysia

All races must assume that everything must be shared and make sure that no
community or race lags from enjoying development and protection from the
government.

It is hoped that these noble values will unite Malaysians in mind and action as a goal
for one nation. Through 1Malaysia, no one will feel alienated because everyone
belongs to one race, the Malaysian race, which has the same goals and aspirations to
develop the country.

In creating a unified national race in a multi-racial country like Malaysia in this era of
globalization, it is imperative that we allow free and fast flow of not just information,
capital and people but also value systems, cultures and beliefs from different
countries. The ability to build a unified national race depends on the sharing of the
values of integrity, ability, dedication and loyalty.

Therefore, all Malaysians must embrace the main principles of 1Malaysia, which
espouse togetherness, and sense of belonging to make this concept a resounding success..........

That's what the article said about 1Malaysia. For me personally, this concept have its own advantages and disadvantages. 'Race lag' can be prohibited perhaps...that's all that I wanna comment...I don't want to be kept by ISA..this is my limited power when using blogging....see you next time....

Digital Photography - Art or Fraud?

Nowadays, many commercial artists, photojournalists, and creators of cartoons, book covers, and billboards use photo editing software to altering photographs. FYI with this 'awesome' software, an artist can convert photographs to a digital form that can be colorized, stretched, squeezed, texturized, or otherwise is being altered.

How awful it is? me personally believe that it is wrong to alter the content of a photograph in any way...it seems like deceiveing the public. Isn't it? Yet, some insist that teh extent to which a photo "deceives the public" is in the eye of the beholder...what a wreck!!! is it ethical to alter digital photographs?



let's say if some alteration is accepted, can photographic integrity still be guaranteed? now, in this very minutes....arises this 'killer' question...I let you the readers(?) to decide which one is right or wrong......

hmmm........

Can Computer Think?

Since the dawn of the computing age, people have wondered if a computer ever would be capable of thought. As computer processors and software become more powerful, the question is more hotly debated.

But, computer lack at least two essential components of human thinking - common sense and emotion. yeah...I admitted that computers can consider millions of chess moves a second, but humans have the common sense to recognize that some moves are not worthy of consideration.So, here goes my question...can computers think?why or why not? If computer cannot think now, might they be able to think in the next few decade?Why?How really important is emotion in the ability to think?

People who believes that the computer can think argue that, if a person had a conversation with a computer and was convinced the computer was really human, then the computer is really intelligent. this criteria is known as the Turing Test, named after British mathematician Alan Turing who proposed the test in 1950...on the contrary..the person who cannot read nor write the language really does not understand it, any more than a brainless computer really can think..can it??see u again for next issue........
