Plot To Blow Up Planes From Britain to USA
Terror plot failed and as a result hundreds of thousands of travellers around the world were left stranded following the foiling of a terrorist plot to blow up planes flying between Britain and the United States.In UK, passengers with infants were required to taste bottles of baby milk before being allowed on British flights yesterday as security measures were ramped up due to fears of a terror plot. List of banned items for UK flights are listed herein.
Be warned: All hand luggage of passengers bound for Europe will be searched, info from Malaysia Airports Bhd. Banned items from hand luggage (but could be kept in the check-in luggage) could be the same as in UK.

Beautiful View of the Ocean?
Nice scenery of an ocean? From the pictures itself, seems like it. In fact, it’s the Nile River at one of the widest part of it in Sudan. Now this is what I call a RIVER……..and when I compared the Nile River to the Klang River near my house, it’s a joke. 
Moral of the story: There’s always something better or bigger than you could ever imagine.

2006 UBS Study "Prices and Earnings"
A global comparison of purchasing power in 71 cities around the world.
Four European cities and Tokyo most expensive - highest wages in Scandinavia, Switzerland and the US.
Oslo, London, Copenhagen, Zurich and Tokyo are the world’s most expensive cities. With the highest net wages, Zurich and Geneva, followed by Dublin, Los Angeles and Luxembourg, lead the pack in purchasing power.
People in Asia work the longest hours – almost 50 days more per year than Western Europeans. Asian workers at least partially compensate for low purchasing power through longer working hours.
Oslo, London, Copenhagen, Zurich and Tokyo are the world’s most expensive cities in relation to a standardized basket of 122 goods and services. The UBS study "Prices and Earnings" shows that life is particularly expensive in London and New York if the cost of housing is included. The basket of goods and services costs the least in Kuala Lumpur, Mumbai, Delhi and Buenos Aires.

The Growth of Blogs
, Just when the Malaysian government has talked about restricting internet linkages due to recent unwanted or incorrect information found in various blogs, below is the state of blogoshpere reported under Technorati, a blog tracker (where it traces my blog too).
As at 31 July 2006:-
* Technorati is now tracking over 50 Million Blogs.
* The Blogosphere is over 100 times bigger than it was just 3 years ago.
* Today, the blogosphere is doubling in size every 200 days, or about once every 6 and a half months.
* From January 2004 until July 2006, the number of blogs that Technorati tracks has continued to double every 5-7 months.
* About 175,000 new weblogs were created each day, which means that on average, there are more than 2 blogs created each second of each day.
* About 8% of new blogs get past Technorati’s filters, even if it is only for a few hours or days.
* About 70% of the pings Technorati receives are from known spam sources, but we drop them before we have to send out a spider to go and index the splog.
* Total posting volume of the blogosphere continues to rise, showing about 1.6 Million postings per day, or about 18.6 posts per second.
* This is about double the volume of about a year ago.
* The most prevalent times for English-language posting is between the hours of 10am and 2pm Pacific time, with an additional spike at around 5pm Pacific time.
If the government intends to restrict blogs, Malaysia would be taking a regressive mode in terms of technology in the world. Advisable move? Most items stated in blogs would have been relied on the mainstream media. There is a close relationship between blogs and mainstream media.
