starbid.com

two months ago back from philippines,abit boring and free in Malaysia,start to look for somethings to do,finally start to work out on thiswebsite, starbid.com, i will workharder to make it real on March andlaunch in 5 countries, philippines,vietnam, malaysia , singapore, andindonesia.

My Idea for starbid isStarbid only lists BRAND NEW productswhich are available to members atunbelievably discounted pricing. Thestarbid online bidding website isunique in that it offers customers newproducts that they bid for at anonline auction. Products are Deliveredfor Free throughout Indonesia,Vietnam,Malaysia, SIngpaore and Philippines.

Experience the sensation by bidding onStarbid online auction where memberswill find a selection of products inwhich the successful bidder will bethe lowest unique bidder in the onlineauction process. The more times youbid, the more chance you have ofwinning! You decide which price indollars and cents you would like topay for an item. Register Now to bidand save.Online bidding is easy once the memberis registered for purchasing onlinewith starbid online auction. Themethod used by satrbid online auctionenables the successful online bidderto be unique in the amount they havebid.

The lowest bidder purchasing onlinewill not necessarily be the successfulbidder as the successful bidder is thebidder who has offered the lowestunique bid in the online auction. Bidsare only disclosed when the onlinebidding for each online auction isclosed and the successful bidder willbe notified accordingly.Starbid online auction endeavours tobe the most recognized, unique andtrusted online shopping marketplace,consistently delivering exceptionalvalue to the marketplace and highquality service to its customers.

Starbid are where products are placedon auction with the following rules:Bidders are asked to place their bid,a bid which they think no one elsewill duplicate, and the successfulbidder will be the one with the LOWESTUNIQUE BID.The variation from the traditionalstyle auction system is the auctionresult is awarded to the Lowest UniqueBid when the predetermined RequiredNumber/time of Bids has been met andthe auction is closed. Each Bidder isrequired to pay an Administration Feein order to place a Bid.

This is bestillustrated with the following example:
Apple iPod Shuffle 1 gig -
RecommendedRetail Price : $199Required.
No. of Bids : 200
Administration Fee : $2.75
At the end of the auction the lowestten bids may look like this :
Bid 1: $0.01
Bid 2: $0.01
Bid 3: $0.02
Bid 4: $0.02
Bid 5: $0.02
Bid 6: $0.03 Lowest Unique Bid
Bid 7: $0.04
Bid 8: $0.04
Bid 9: $0.05 Unique, but not the lowest
Bid 10: $0.06

Bid No.6 is the Lowest Unique Bidderand is awarded the auction result andwould have to pay only 3c. He/she hastherefore purchased an article for $3c(Bid Amount) + $2.75 (Admin Fee) =$2.78 = 1.4% of the Retail Price($199)!

Starbid -People’s choiceThe Ideal Way to get the Products youwant!

Makati Manila blast - 11 kills,19-10-2007

MANILA — The death toll from anexplosion at an upscale shopping mallin Manila rose to 11 on Sunday asinvestigators cast doubt that theblast was caused by a bomb.Philipp ine national police chiefAvelino Razon said Friday's explosionat the Glorietta 2 shopping mall inthe heart of the capital's financialdistric t of Makati was set off by abomb, but three governmentinvest igators told The AssociatedPress this was a premature conclusion.T he investigators, who spoke oncondition of anonymity because theywere not authorized to talk to themedia, said no bomb parts have beenfound so far in a cargo storagebasement where the blast most likelyhappened. They added they wereconsidering all possibilities,in cluding an accidental blast.The police crime laboratory officesaid a sample of debris testedpositive for RDX, an ingredient of thehigh explosive C4, but that findingwas being re-evaluated because allother samples from the blast site havetested negative for explosives,accor ding to the three investigators.“It's too premature to make anyconclusion while the suspectedexplosi on site remains under water,”said Makati councillor Jejomar ErwinBinay, who has been monitoring theinvestigation at the scene of theblast — the most fatal to hit thecapital in recent years.Author ities began to siphon off waist-deep water in the mall's cargo storagebasement late Saturday, where theyfound the body of a woman partlycovered by debris. A badly woundedvictim died from massive blood loss ina hospital early Sunday, thecouncillor said, adding that most ofthe wounded have been discharged fromthree hospitals, but three othervictims remain in intensive care.Preside nt Gloria Macapagal Arroyocalled an emergency security meetingSaturday and plans a larger NationalSecurity Council gathering in a fewdays. Authorities also announced abounty for any information leading tosuspects, if the blast was an act ofsabotage.<>The three investigators looking atFriday's explosion said there was apossibility that fumes may have leakedfrom a huge diesel fuel container, ormethane gas from a septic tank, andignited in the tightly enclosedconcrete basement.The ruined basement still reeked ofdiesel fumes Sunday, they said.Rumours have spread fast by word ofmouth and cell phone text messagesblaming the mall blast on a variety ofsuspects — from military renegades, toMuslim militants and government forcesloyal to Ms. Arroyo, whoseadministrat ion has been linked to astring of corruption scandals.

九月份的The Economist有篇文章,Hijaak 网友的翻译Tall buildings, narrow minds楼宇高,心胸窄

THE government of Malaysia has laid on all sorts of grand pageantry this weekend, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Malay peninsula's independence from Britain. There is much to celebrate. Living standards and access to education, health services, sanitation and electricity have soared during those five decades of sovereignty. The country's remarkable modernisation drive was symbolised, nine years ago, by the completion of the Petronas twin towers, in Kuala Lumpur, then the world's tallest buildings.本周,马来西亚政府大张旗鼓,想尽法子庆祝独立50周年,50年前马来半岛摆脱了英国的殖民统治。他们的确有很多值得庆祝的事情。马来政府50年以来,人民生活水平大大提高,教育、医疗、卫生、电力设施广泛普及。九年前,吉隆坡双子塔竣工,这在当时是世界最高的建筑,标志着马来西亚现代化水平引人注目。Yet there will be a hollow ring to the festivities. Malaysia's 50th birthday comes at a time of rising resentment by ethnic Chinese and Indians, together over one-third of the population, at the continuing, systematic discrimination they suffer in favour of the majority bumiputra, or sons of the soil, as Malays and other indigenous groups are called. There are also worries about creeping “Islamisation” among the Malay Muslim majority of what has been a largely secular country, and about the increasingly separate lives that Malay, Chinese and Indian Malaysians are leading. More so than at independence, it is lamented, the different races learn in separate schools, eat separately, work separately and socialise separately. Some are asking: is there really such a thing as a Malaysian?然而,隆重的庆典之中也有不合之音。马来西亚独立50周年,华裔和印裔的不满也与日俱增。华裔和印裔占了马来西亚人口的三分之一,却不断遭到社会制度的歧视,这种社会制度青睐占大多数人口的马来人,本土居民和马来人都称自己是“土地之子”。总的说来,马来西亚是非宗教国家,大多数人口却是穆斯林信徒,现在伊斯兰教的势力渐渐崛起,华裔和印裔马来人与本土人的生活隔阂拉大,情况堪忧。不同民族的人衣食住行、读书工作都被隔离开了,情况比独立前还糟糕,令人遗憾。人们不禁要问:马来西亚真的是完整的吗?The pro-bumiputra discrimination was laid down in the country's first constitution, in 1957, to ease Malays' fears of being marginalised by the Chinese and Indian migrants. These had come, supposedly temporarily, to work in the tin mines and plantations but were settling permanently and increasingly dominating business and the professions. The perks were extended greatly after race riots in 1969. Malays get privileged access to public-sector jobs, university places, stockmarket flotations and, above all, government contracts. The most notable result, as with South Africa's similar policy of “black economic empowerment”, has been “encronyment”—the enrichment of those well connected to the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), the party that has led all governments since independence. Malays as a whole, like other races, have got richer but the gap between the Malay haves and have-nots has widened. The corruption and waste these policies engender seem to have got worse in recent years.1957年,马来西亚的第一部宪法废除了从亲马来人的歧视政策,马来人不用担心被中国和印度移民排斥。这些移民曾经在锡矿和种植园做临时工,后来成了永久居民,在商界和白领职业中独占鳌头,1969年马来爆发种族冲突,之后各种族之间的矛盾更加激化。马来本土人在获得公务员职位,大学入学和购买股票上享有特权。南非也有类似的政策,叫做“黑人经济权利赋权”,最显而易见的结果就是,造成了任人唯亲的局面。发财致富的都是那些和巫统(UMNO)关系密切的人。自独立之后,巫统就一直领导各届政府。总的来说,和其他种族的人民一样,马来人变得越来越富有了,然而,马来人之间的贫富差距却拉大了。近几年,政府贪污腐败、铺张浪费气焰见长,这都是拜新政策所赐。As criticism has grown, UMNO's leaders have resorted ever more frequently to growling that nobody should question the “social contract”. This is a reference to the metaphorical deal struck between the races at independence, in which the Malays got recognition that the country was basically theirs, while the Chinese and Indians were granted citizenship. The veiled threat of violence lurking behind calls to uphold the social contract was made explicit during last year's UMNO conference, at which one delegate talked of being ready to “bathe in blood” to defend Malay privileges and the education minister, no less, brandished a traditional Malay dagger.批评之声越来越多,巫统领导人频频呵斥,不许任何人质疑“社会契约”。这隐射了独立之初种族之间达成的协议,马来人认为马来西亚是他们的土地,他们赋予了中国人和印度人公民身份。以前,政府只是暗示会用武力相逼,去年的巫统大会上,政府则明目张胆地表示会以武力保护社会契约。在会上,有代表声称,自己准备好了要“浴血”保护马来人的特权。教育部长也不示弱,当场挥舞传统的马来短剑。The hypocritical Malay dilemma虚伪的巫统The social contract may once have seemed necessary to keep the peace but now it and the official racism that it is used to justify look indefensible: it is absurd and unjust to tell the children of families that have lived in Malaysia for generations that, in effect, they are lucky not to be deported and will have to put up with second-class treatment for the rest of their lives, in the name of “racial harmony”. When the mild-mannered Abdullah Badawi took over as prime minister from the fire-breathing Mahathir Mohamad in 2003, there were hopes of change for the better. Mr Badawi preached a moderate, “civilisational” Islam and pledged to crack down on corruption.想天下太平,社会契约似乎是必不可少的。但现在,社会契约有官方种族主义撑腰,这两者却经不起推敲:告诉那些家里几代人都住在马来西亚的孩子,实际上,他们没被驱逐出境已经很幸运了,所以必须要终生忍受二等公民的待遇,为了实现所谓的“种族和谐”。这种做法多么荒诞,多么不公。2003年,性情温和的阿卜杜拉•巴达维从气焰嚣张的马哈蒂尔•穆哈默德手中接过了总理职位,人们希望情势会有所改观。巴达维鼓励中庸文明的伊斯兰教,发誓打击腐败。Four years on, corruption, facilitated by the pro-Malay policies, is unchecked. The state continues to use draconian internal-security laws, dating back to the colonial era, to silence and threaten critics. UMNO continues to portray itself to Malays as the defender of their privileges yet tries to convince everyone else that it is the guarantor of racial harmony. One commentator this week gently described this as a “paradox”. Hypocrisy would be a better word.四年过去了,以前的马来政策滋生的腐败依旧猖獗,政府依旧采用严酷的国家安全法令,这些法令在殖民地时期出台,旨在打击和威胁任何的批评言论。巫统继续把自己描画为马来人特权的捍卫者,想方设法让其他公民相信,巫统在保障种族和谐。本周,有评论家说巫统的说法是自相矛盾。这样的评论太温和了,用“虚伪”来形容巫统更恰如其分。The damage caused by this state racism is ever more evident. Malaysia's once sparkling growth rate has slipped. Racial quotas and protectionism are scaring away some foreign investors. While Malaysians celebrate having done rather better than former British colonies in Africa, they must also notice that South Korea, Taiwan and their estranged ex-spouse Singapore have done much better still. The economic consequences alone justify ending Malaysia's official racism. Even without them, it would still be just plain wrong.国家种族主义带来的恶果尤为明显。马来西亚曾经令人瞩目的经济发展日渐下滑。种族配额和保护主义吓跑了一些外国投资者。尽管比起英国在非洲的前殖民地,马来西亚还算做得不错,但他们也一定发现了,韩国、台湾,以及跟他们有着恩怨情仇的新加坡经济发展得快得多。仅仅看在经济下降的后果上,马来西亚也应该摈除官方种族主义。即使不考虑经济,官方种族主义也明摆着是个错误。

upside down

I’ve been spending some time
Thinking I’d be alright
Don’t know if I can really make it tonight

I lie awake in the dark
Calm down, and I’ll start
Thinking about you
It’s almost breaking my heart

I don’t know where I went wrong
Or what’s going on
Baby, I feel like our love’s lost tonight
Should I stay, should I go
Well I really don’t know
Lately I’ve been missing you so

Baby you don’t understand
Our love lies lost but
You’re still holding my hand
Oh, and then you walk away
Just tonight, I want you to stay…

You’re turning me on
You turn me around
You turn my whole world upside down
You’re turning me on
You turn me around
You turn my whole world upside down

Everytime I hurt you, well it’s hurting me too
Don’t know if I could really stay here tonight
I’m tired of thinking of you, and everything that you do
Tell me, what am I supposed to do
Well I just wanted to say that I need you today
Tell me, it’s all gonna work out all right
Don’t know where I should start, but with all of my heart
Baby let me be your lover tonight

Baby you don’t understand
Our love lies lost but
You’re still holding my hand
Oh, and then you walk away
Just tonight, I want you to stay…

You’re turning me on
You turn me around
You turn my whole world upside down
You’re turning me on
You turn me around
You turn my whole world upside down

You know…you turn me upside down…
You know…you turn me upside down…

You’re turning me on
You turn me around
You turn my whole world upside down
You’re turning me on
You turn me around
You turn my whole world upside down

习惯

两个人在一起。。日子久了。。渐渐的,好多事也就变成一种习惯。。习惯一起逛街,一起看戏, 一起吃饭。。习惯他的味道。。习惯他的温柔, 他的体贴。。习惯他的一切一切。。 他的习惯,也逐渐成为了自己的习惯。。分手后,失去了他。。失去了与他分享每一刻喜悦的日子。。 失去了他在自己身旁的日子。。失去了甜言蜜语。。 失去了他的一切一切。。他的习惯, 却忘不了。。也摆脱不了。。因为他的习惯已经变成自己的习惯了。。分手总是令人伤心的。。 要忘掉情人。。说也许容易, 但又有多少人能真正做的到呢?其实,想一想,两个人在一起,要习惯对方。。习惯身边多了一个他。。两个人分手后,也应该习惯。。习惯身边少了一个他。。

Polite Way To Go Pee

A little word from Johnny to start the day..

During one of her daily classes a teacher trying to teach good manners, asked her students the following question:

"Michael, if you were on a date having dinner with a nice young lady, how would you tell her that you have to go to the bathroom?"

Michael said, "Just a minute I have to go pee."

The teacher responded by saying, "That would be rude and impolite.

What about you Peter, how would you say it?" Peter said, "I am sorry, but I really need to go to the bathroom. I'll be right back."

"That's better, but it's still not very nice to say the word bathroom at the dinner table

And you, little Johnny, can you use your brain for once and show Us your good manners?"

I would say: "Darling, may I please be excused for a moment? I have to shake hands with a very dear friend of mine, whom I hope you'll get to meet after dinner."

The teacher fainted.

Upstairs with Uncle Paul

"Hello?"

"Hi honey

This is Daddy.

Is Mommy near the phone?"

"No Daddy.

She's upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle Paul."

After a brief pause,

Daddy says,

"But honey, you haven't got an Uncle Paul."

"Oh yes I do,and he's upstairs in the room

with Mommy, right now."

Brief Pause.

"Uh, okay then, this is what I want you to do.

Put the phone down on the table, run upstairs

and knock on the bedroom door and shout to Mommy

that Daddy's car just pulled into the driveway."

"Okay Daddy,just a minute."

A few minutes later the little girl comes back to the phone.

"I did it Daddy."

"And what happened honey?" he asked.

"Well, Mommy got all scared,jumped out of bed with no

clothes on and ran around screaming.Then she tripped over the rug, hit

her head on the dresser and now she isn't moving at all!"

"Oh my God!!! What about your Uncle Paul?"

"He jumped out of the bed with no clothes on, too. He was

all scared and he jumped out of the back window and into the swimming

pool. But I guess he didn't know that you took out the water last week

to clean it. He hit the bottom of the pool and I think he's dead."

***Long Pause***

***Longer Pause***

***Even Longer Pause***

Then Daddy says,

"Swimming pool? Is this 486-5731?"

Gregory, 5 "Everybody's got it all wrong. Angels don't wear halos anymore. I forget why, but scientists are working on it."

Matthew, 9 "Angels work for God and watch over kids when God has to go do something else."

Mitchell, 7 "My guardian angel helps me with math, but he's not much good for science."

Henry, 8 "Angels don't eat, but they drink milk from Holy Cows!!!."

A new pill that stops your period..A new pill that stops your period.

A new pill that stops your period.By Sarah E. Richards Posted Wednesday, Oct. 18, 2006, at 5:04 PM ET


If a new brand of birth control gets approved early next year, that time of the month could become the time of, like, the decade. Lybrel, a birth-control pill made by Wyeth, would be the first oral contraceptive to deliver an uninterrupted supply of hormones. Seventy percent of women who took it for six months were period-free, according to a preliminary study by the company.

Wyeth isn't the first pharmaceutical company to reimagine the menstrual cycle. In 1992, the FDA approved Depo-Provera, an injection that is repeated every three months. In 2003, Seasonale rescheduled the monthly period to four times a year. And in July, the government gave the go-ahead for Implanon, an implant that delivers a steady hormone stream for up to three years. But the pill is the favorite means of birth control of the nearly quarter of American women of childbearing age who take hormonal contraceptives. That means Lybrel—and the other brands that will surely follow—could change the menstrual cycle as we know it. The appeal is obvious: No more bloating, cramping, food cravings, and PMS jokes, not to mention the savings in unpurchased tampons and such. But in the end, for reasons both medical and cultural, it's not clear that putting the kibosh on the curse is a good idea.


Traditional pill packs contain a week of placebos for each monthly cycle, and, as a result, women who take them appear to menstruate. But it turns out that the bleeding serves no reproductive purpose. Since there's no egg to flush out, the bleeding is a symptom of withdrawal from progestin and estrogen, the hormones in the pill—in essence, it's a fake period. The inventors of the pill, which debuted in 1960, supposedly decided to mimic the menstrual cycle because they thought that would make women more psychologically comfortable with the product.

Top 25 Web Hoaxes and Pranks

copy from msn
By Steve Bass, PC World



These online spoofs and shams have made the rounds on Web sites and
through e-mail. Perhaps you even believed one or two of them yourself.


Whether they take the form of a comic image of a giant cat or a
desperate plea from a sick child, chain e-mail messages and Internet frauds are
elements of the online landscape that we've all encountered. No topic is off
limits: a medical warning, a promise of free money, or a believably (or
shoddily) Photoshopped image. But at the end of the day, they're just elaborate
hoaxes or clever pranks--and we've collected 25 of the most infamous ones ever
to have graced the Internet or our inboxes.
Though some of these deceptions originated years ago, the originals--and dozens of variants--continue to make the rounds. If you keep a patient vigil over your e-mail, you too may eventually spot a message urging you to FORWARD THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!! And if you haven't had enough when you finish reading this article, take a hoax test at the Museum of Hoaxes, and then hop over to Snopes, the premier myth-dispelling site for coverage of zillions of other falsifications.

_______________________________________________________

Sound Off: Have you ever been fooled by a Web hoax?

_______________________________________________________
Hoaxes 1 Through 5
From the supposed last photo taken at the top of the World Trade Center to the endlessly revised request for assistance from a Nigerian functionary, here are our top five Web and e-mail hoaxes.
Top 25 Web Hoaxes and Pranks // Wrong plane, wrong tower, nice posture.
1. The Accidental Tourist (2001)
Quite possibly the most famous hoax picture ever, this gruesome idea of a joke traveled around the Web and made a grand tour of e-mail inboxes everywhere soon after the tragedy of September 11. It depicts a tourist standing on the observation deck of one of the World Trade Center towers, unknowingly posing for a picture as an American Airlines plane approaches in the background.
At first glance it appears to be real, but if you examine
certain details, you'll see that
it's a
craftily modified image
. For starters, the plane that struck the WTC was
a wide-body Boeing 767; the one in the picture is a smaller 757. The approach
of the plane in the picture is from the north, yet the building it would have
hit--the North tower--didn't have an outdoor observation deck. Furthermore, the
South tower's outdoor deck didn't open until 9:30 a.m. on weekdays, more than
half an hour after the first plane struck the WTC. The picture is a hoax,
through and through--and not a particularly amusing one, under the
circumstances.

Top 25 Web Hoaxes and Pranks // Proof that "Craig Sherwood" wasn't simply a creation of Hallmark's marketing department.
2. Sick Kid Needs Your Help (1989)
This gem had its roots in reality. It all began in 1989, when nine-year-old cancer patient Craig Shergold thought of a way to achieve his dream of getting into the Guinness Book of World Records. Craig asked people to send greeting cards, and boy, did they. By 1991, 33 million greeting cards had been sent, far surpassing the prior record. Ironically, however, the Guinness World Records site doesn't contain any mention of Craig Sherwood or a "most greeting cards received" record, presumably because the fine folks at the site don't want to encourage anyone to try to break his mark. (Astonishingly, Guinness doesn't have an entry for world's stoutest person, either, but it does honor the World's Largest Tankard of Beer.)
Fortunately, doctors succeeded in
removing the tumor, and Craig is now a healthy adult, but his appeal for cards
has turned into
the hoax that won't
die
. Variations on the theme include a sick girl dying of cancer, and a
little boy with leukemia whose dying wish is to start an eternal chain letter.
A recent iteration tells a tragic tale of a girl who supposedly was horribly
burned in a fire at WalMart, and then claims that
AOL will pay all
of her medical bills
if only if you forward this e-mail to EVERYONE YOU
KNOW!!! Okay, enough already.
Image courtesy of
Snopes.com.
3. Bill Gates Money Giveaway (1997)
No, it's true. I thought it was a scam, but it happened to a buddy of mine. It seems that Microsoft is testing some new program for tracing e-mail, and the company needs volunteers to help try the thing out. He forwarded me an e-mail that he received from Microsoft--and get this, from Bill Gates himself! Two weeks later, as a reward for participating, my pal received a check for thousands of dollars! Sure he did. Another version of this hoax claims that AOL's tracking service is offering a cash reward. Tell you what--when you get your check, send me 10 percent as a finder's fee, okay?
4. Five-Cent E-Mail Tax (1999)
"Dear Internet Subscriber," the e-mail starts. "The Government of the United States is quietly pushing through legislation that will affect your use of the Internet." It goes on to reveal that "Bill 602P" will authorize the U.S. Postal Service to assess a charge of five cents for every e-mail sent. Not a bad way to cut down on the number of dopey e-mail chain letters and lame jokes people let loose on the world. But credulous curse averters and connoisseurs of boffo laffs can relax: This e-mail alert, which popped up in 1999 and comes back for a visit every year or so, just isn't true. Still, it sounded plausible enough to fool Hillary Clinton during a 2000 debate when she was running for the Senate.
5. Nigerian 419 E-Mail Scam (2000)
"DEAR SIR," the e-mail starts. "FIRSTLY I MUST FIRST SOLICIT YOUR CONFIDENCE IN THIS TRANSACTION; LET ME START BY INTRODUCING MYSELF PROPERLY..." I'm sure you've received one of these--a confidential, urgent e-mail message promising you a reward of mucho dinero for helping this person convey money abroad. All you need do in return is entrust your name and bank account number to the government bureaucrat (or his uncle, aunt, or cousin, the ostensible "credit offficer with the union bank of Nigeria plc (uba) Benin branch") who needs your help.
It's the Nigerian con, also known as an Advanced Fee Fraud or 419 scam (so called because of the section number of the Nigerian criminal code that applies to it). Ancestors of these scams appeared in the 1980s, when the media of choice were letters or faxes--and they're still wildly successful at snagging people. In fact, Oprah recently featured a victim of the Nigerian scam on her show. And if you think that smart, educated folks couldn't possibly fall for it, you'll be surprised when you read " The Perfect Mark," a New Yorker magazine article profiling a Massachusetts psychotherapist who was duped--and lost a fortune.
To see how the hoax works, visit
Scamorama, a fascinating site
that features a progression of e-mail messages stringing along 419 scammers,
sometimes for months at a time. Finally, check out the
3rd Annual
Nigerian E-Mail Conference
, an absolutely perfect spoof.

foot pad- health from your foot,your second heart


click http://www.mystarbid.com

clock www.mystarbid.com lowest unique bid in malaysia buy a n95 with rm6 bid n win now

Introduction
According to Chinese medical knowledge, our human body has over 360 acupuncture points, with more than 60 acupuncture points found on the soles of the foot. Known as the “second heart”, they are the reflective zones of our major internal organs, they are also potential homes for toxins. When the blood circulates to the soles, the Jungong (TM) Foot Pad sachet can absorb toxins released from the acupuncture points. The Jungong (TM) Foot Pad comes in a white sachet that is applied to the soles of the feet. After only one night of body detox, there may be significant changes to the smell and color of the sachet (from brown to grayish black) as it reflects the amount and degree of toxins which were extracted from the body. With continuous usage, there should be a visible reduction in the stain and odor of the sachet.

Circulation of blood and lymphatic fluids reach their furthest point in the soles of the feet before being return 'pumped' back up into the higher portions of the body. Unfortunately in today's society, seemingly too much of our time is spent persuing sedimentary activities. This can lead to circulatory dysfunction and an inhibited flow of the lymphatic fluids in the body (the lymphatic system in fact has no pumping organ like the circulatory system, and thus relies upon sufficient motion and bodily activity to precipitate fluid motion) as they begin to accumulate in the ankles and lower legs due to gravity.

The feet are also called the 'mirror of the body', as the various reflex points and nerve endings can traced to areas on the feet. This is what reflexology is based on (note the above foot diagram for reference). Ancient Chinese Reflexology teaches that stimulation and toxicity release from these sensitive mirror points, may also lead to vitality and wellness for the associated body parts. At the very least, the removal of toxic buildups in the body can only promote increased health as the body processes and immune system do not have to be taxed so hard to maintain optimum regulatory functions.



Foot pad is best placed under one's soles. Both the western and eastern studies view the sole as an area that reflects the wellness of the body and often treat it as our "second heart."
This is why many of us like to get a foot massage. It eases the nerves, enhances blood circulation and consequently promotes better health. The problem with foot massages... is that they require someone to massage your feet and the time to do it... which is not always convenient.
Now, with Foot Pad placed under your sole, the packets help awaken your body, mind and spirit to a healthier, happier and more energized you.
With Foot Pad, we can now live life to its maximum and this unique product is very easy to use.


STEP 1
Remove the larger piece from the adhesive sheet and discard.




STEP 2
Place the Foot Pad onto its center, making sure that the writing on the sachets is facing down toward the adhesive surface.




STEP 3
Stick and spread firmly onto the sole of your foot. For best results, put them on some time before bedtime, you can wear them around the house if you sleep less than 8 hours.


STEP 4
Allow 8 to 12 hours for toxins to be fully absorbed from your body before removing the Foot Pad.

McRefugees

McRefugees feast on 100-yen sleepover sets
Japan's growing income gap means the working poor are not only flipping burgers to make a living, they're also buying them so they've got somewhere to live, turning them into "McRefugees," according to Weekly Playboy (4/30).

Part-time workers and day laborers have found cheap alternatives to renting apartments in the form of Internet cafes, or saunas where they could spend the night for just a few thousand yen.

But with even the casual labor market feeling the pinch despite Japan creating more billionaires at the other end of the scale, an increasing number of working poor are turning to the growing number of fast food restaurants operating 24 hours so they've got somewhere to stay overnight.

These people are being called "McRefugees" after McDonald's, the fast food chain providing many of them with their homes."Huh, Net cafes? Only the rich can afford them. Even with a nighttime pack price, they still cost about 1,000 yen a night. I sleep at McDonald's three or four nights a week," Koba, a self-professed McRefugee tells Weekly Playboy. "More McDonald's restaurants have started operating 24 hours since the spring and there're plenty of others like me who are sleeping there."

Tomo, another McRefugee, explains the appeal of the burger chain compared to other cheap alternatives.

"I sometimes stay overnight at family restaurants, but they have a late night surcharge, right? They do have the lure of an all-you-can-drink bar, but even that still costs more than 500 yen. I only need to spend 100 yen at McDonald's and I can stay the whole night," he says.

Indeed. For Net cafes, time is money. The longer a customer stays, the more they pay. At a fast food restaurant, though, burgers can be bought for as little as 80 yen, and a refillable coffee is just 100 yen. And the buyer can stay as long as they like, at least at McDonald's.

"We don't have any particular rules for customers who stay in the restaurant for a long time even if they've only bought a single item. To be honest, I don't understand what you mean by McRefugee. But McDonald's is a place to dine, so we do rounds of the store and speak to anybody we feel is behaving inappropriately," a spokesman for McDonald's Japan tells Weekly Playboy.

Economist Takuro Morinaga explains the type of person likely to become a McRefugee.

"They're people who probably have a tad more money than those living on the streets, but not enough money to allow them to change their lives. It costs about 400,000 yen to 500,000 yen to rent out an apartment, so people who can't afford to do that become Net Cafe Refugees, Sauna Refugees and, now McRefugees," Morinaga says. "The vast majority of them are not full time staff and are probably only making about 1 million yen a year at most. For these people, 500,000 yen is an enormous sum of money."

Morinaga argues that Japan is likely to see even more McRefugees.

"I think we'll see more of these types of people," the economist tells Weekly Playboy. "With society polarizing the way it is now, I guess they'll be like Europe and the United States where all the same types of people gather together to form hamlets that eventually end up turning into slums."
