Whitney Houston 享年 48

一代歌后，Whitney Houston， 昨天2012年2月11日由其公关Kristen Foster向媒体证实逝世~享年48。震惊各界！

好可惜！好歌越来越少，真正实力派的歌手，也就更少了！歌艺界以后也就少了一位那么有实力的歌手！她的歌声从1980年代，就获得了认同！

1992年，"I will always love you"， 她的成名曲，她的歌声，围绕在不少人的脑海里~也深深烙印在我心中！

R.I.P. Whitney Houston, I will always love you!

Expert: Lynas will be far worse than Bukit Merah

http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/161828

The on-going Lynas Advanced Material Plant project will produce 20,000 tonnes of radioactive waste a year once it becomes operational.

This will be 10 times more than the controversial Asian Rare Earth factory that was closed down in Bukit Merah 20 years ago, public health expert Dr T Jayabalan said.

The plant's projected rate of radioactive waste production, Jayabalan (right) said, would spell environmental and health disasters as dumping huge amounts of such waste, regardless of radioactive levels, would concentrate the deadly effects.


He explained that direct exposure to such a large amount of thorium, even if proven by both Lynas and the Atomic Energy Licensing Board (AELB) to be low in radiation, would be lethal as radiation levels build up according to the volume of waste piled together.


Both Lynas and the AELB have said that the plant would produce thorium - a naturally occurring radioactive chemical element - as a waste by-product from the plant's operations in the Gebeng industrial area, some 25km from Kuantan, Pahang.

However, the Australian company and the national atomic power agency maintain that thorium has a low radiation level and is not harmful to people or the surrounding environment.

Jayabalan warned against buying into claims that thorium is safe, stressing that any prolonged exposure to increased radiation levels "no matter how minute" would be a health hazard.


"Perhaps AELB and Lynas are right, that rare earth is not radioactive because they remove the radioactive waste. What they will give you in Gebeng is this radioactive waste called thorium," he told some 500 people at a talk in Kuantan on Sunday night.

"And perhaps the authorities are right, that thorium is a low-level (radioactive) waste and they tell you it is safe.


"These are terms used by the industry to confuse you... remember, there is no safe level of any radioactivity," he said.


No safe haven


Jayabalan agreed that people are constantly exposed to "background radiation" - low levels of radiation from sunlight and other environmental factors - but stressed that bringing an additional source of radiation is akin to the death sentence.

He said the best defence from direct exposure to increased radioactivity was to "stay as far away as possible".

However, this would not work with a second, more surreptitious killer that would be released when the ore containing the rare earth is crushed to remove the thorium.

Jayabalan explained that when the ore is crushed, it releases another radioactive element which exists as a gas - radon.

"Radon can travel thousands of miles... which means you are not protected anywhere in Malaysia because the wind will blow (it across the nation)."

Jayabalan, who was among those who fought to shut down the Asian Rare Earth factory run by Mistubishi Chemical from the early 1980s to 1992, implored the people to learn from the experience of the Bukit Merah residents, who he said continued to pay for the ill-advised venture with their lives.








Showing slides of many children and young adults who were casualties of radiation exposure from the Asian Rare Earth factory, he said these people were innocent and unknowing victims of a tragedy that could have been avoided.

'Think of the future'

Bukit Merah is now the site of what is believed to be one of Asia's largest toxic waste clean-ups, courtesy of the factory that produced an average of 2,000 tonnes of radioactive waste annually in the course of its operations.

Jayabalan said the company and the authorities, having found no viable solution to manage the waste pile accumulated, decided to dispose of it at a heavily-guarded dumpsite located within a limestone formation in the area.

"At that time, the authorities gave their assurance that it would be safe and that they would first hold trial runs. But once it starts, it will not stop... what you will get is a large amount of dangerous waste that will outlast you.


"Even Lynas says it can't send it (the waste) back to Australia, meaning they know this is not an acceptable practice... we don't want this in our backyard. Take it back to Australia," Jayabalan said.



Lynas Malaysia has maintained that radiation experts from various government agencies, including AELB, the Department of Environment and Nuclear Malaysia have "presented findings" to show that the Lynas Advanced Material Plant in Gebeng would produce "safe, non-hazardous material".

On two postings on the company's Facebook page today, Lynas insisted that the plant causes "zero radiation exposure to the public" and that the company remains committed to its core values of creating a "safe environment for all", particularly for those living in and around Gebeng.

Lynas has invested some RM700 million into the plant, which it intends to complete by September this year. The company projects the plant to generate some RM8 billion in annual revenue by 2013.

今天在网上读到了一篇能感动到我的新闻。内容如下：

===========================================================

读者写信安慰死者家属 爱孩子别为难校方

（槟城27日讯）一名署名“老忧”的读者，写了一封公开信给龙舟受难者家属，希望家属们延续孩子们所爱，别为难校方和师长。

约一周前发生在五条路海域的龙舟惨剧，经媒体报导后激起各方面回响，一名来自北海的读者致函报馆，他写了一封公开信给龙舟受难者家属。

16年前痛失爱女

署名“老忧”的读者在信中道出自己16年前痛失爱女的经历，希望死者家属别为难校方，因为他相信那些遇难的学生皆热爱学校及师长，因此家长需延续孩子们所爱。

给龙舟受难者家属的话：

第一次在电视、报章上看到你们孩子的新闻，我都流下可惜、伤心的泪。因我本身也经历此类的痛，相比之下，你们的孩子们却“幸福”得多了。

话说当年（16年前），我那念二年级的女儿在年终考试完后，还有3个星期就大放假前，就出现身体无力状况，有时上下学生巴士也会软倒，连司机也建议她不必去上课，应在家休息。

我女儿却热爱上学，于是我到学校找主任朱老师，提议要求校方别让我女儿做激烈运动，但朱老师却以官腔对我说：“教育部规定…除非有医药报告…否则一定要让孩子上体育课…。”

结果，（女儿）在上体育课做青蛙跳时，脑血管爆裂，才9岁（就）独自上路了。

当时有很多朋友要为我向朱主任讨公道，也有很多相识的道上（江湖）朋友要把那体育老师“带”去她灵前做一千次一万次的青蛙跳。总而言之，只要我一首肯，学校肯定会即刻热闹如“娱乐场”！

以我当时的痛与愤怒，我相信会杀人！然而我很肯定一点就是我女儿非常热爱学校和师长（她很特别）而我又岂能请她走得不安心，去找她的老师和学校算账呢？她肯定会不高兴！

所以，我只好默默接受下来，我相信你们的孩子们也是热爱学校与老师们，那意外既然已是事实，就当秦老师带他们一班5人去旅行好了。别让孩子们出外旅行也挂心着学校与师长是否会和父母冲突。

天下父母，痛是故然的，我们爱孩子，孩子爱学校和师长，意外发生了，我们只好延续孩子们所爱，别再去为难学校和师长们了，况且陪着走还有位老师。

人生无常，谁会料到下一刻走的会是你或我？况且人说：“孩子们是债，讨债还债，无债不来。”

希望大家能延续孩子们所爱，继续支持学校与师长，让他们更有信心教导我们孩子的同学成才。老师也同样心痛的，节哀顺变吧！只希望此类不幸意外，永远永远别再发生。

■老忧上

===========================================================

其实，意外发生了，就是已经发生了。意外的事情，又有谁能够预料得到呢？既然发生了，就唯有接受、克服。“死者已矣，生者自生，死矣尤生。”已经过世了的人，死的人已经死了，没死的人还继续生活在这世上，好好的纪念已死者，已死者犹如活着，或在我们的心中~虽然我们已经失去了至亲，但我们跟应该勇敢的活下去，假如希望已死者安心的离去，不如做些他们生前爱做的事，来纪念他们~

永在怀念中~Vincent

心情低落……

刚和我哥通过电话来，获悉一个久违没见的朋友今早上班途中车祸去世了……
记得这个日期《04.04.2009（星期六）》

回想起当初，大家一起，是玩得多么的高兴。有一年（2004年），我的生日，他们一班，还为我开了一个难忘的生日会。一个那么好的人， 上天 那么早就把他召回去了，我现在身在吉隆坡，不能回去看他最后一面，不能与他走最后一程路，是我的遗憾……唯一能做的，也许就是把我的眼泪，化成空气，陪他一程~
