Australian bush fire is still ongoing

February 16, 2009

It was very shocking reading stories about australian bush fire. Heat everywhere. Even kevin rudd the PM said, it was like a Hell. Today, the deaths climb to 186.

Members of the Victorian police force’s Disaster Victim Identification team have spent days searching through the rubble and ash of fire-ravaged towns for anything that can identify those caught in the blazes.

In many cases very little, except small amounts of DNA and pieces of jewellery, remain. Police then have the painstaking task of cross-referencing the DNA with the long lists of missing persons.

Stephen Fontana, assistant police commissioner, said the job of identifying victims was a difficult and slow task but “had to be done properly”.

“We’ve actually got a team looking at unaccounted for persons and that’s checking… data that we have in terms of residents that lived in those areas, bearing in mind there may have been visitors to those areas,” he said.

Christine Nixon, the police commissioner, warned that more bodies would be found as police gained access to several properties previously too unsafe to access.

It’s also shocking news from here.

THE gruesome reality of the search through the rubble of Victoria’s fires has become clearer as police admit it is difficult to determine whether remains come from one person, or even if they are human.

Police today announced the death toll from the savage fires had risen to 189, only eight more than their last update on Thursday, and would continue to rise.

The revised toll included 40 from the hamlet of Strathewen from its population of 200, while 36 have so far been confirmed dead in Marysville which is expected to lose 100 of its 500 residents.

While 10 more victims were identified in Strathewen and 21 more in Marsyville, the number of dead has gone down in some areas after remains were fully identified.

The toll in the Churchill fire in Gippsland dropped from 21 to 10.

It’s very horror, i hope the firefigter can overcome this problem

net defender

One you have to try is Net Defender. NetDefender is a Free Firewall with source code, which can be downloaded along with firewall executables. Netdefender can only works on windows 2000 and above versions of windows platforms.

Live sometimes is just a wonderful thing

December 22, 2008

Live is a wonderful, but surprisingly, many people consider it as a burden. They are the one with narrow view on their eyes. They can’t see the beauty of their dream, the comfort they have.
They only see negative things and don’t consider the positive things. Whereas the positive things is in great quantities, while their negative things is only exiguous.
Stop thinking negative, see that you already has many benefits, don’t be sad, live is an enjoying thing.

Why using open office rather than Microsoft office

November 15, 2008

There are at least 3 things you should consider why you should not use MS office anymore (i get this from http://why.openoffice.org/why_free.html):

  1. Free of charge: It’s hard to believe that high quality, easy to use software like OpenOffice.org 3 can really be free. But thanks to contributions of time and money, from individuals and companies (large and small), OpenOffice.org is free for you to use today. Furthermore, the open-source licence used by OpenOffice.org 3 means this freedom can never be taken away. The OpenOffice.org community are delighted if you find our software of use. Please help us by telling people about OpenOffice.org 3, and if you can, pass them on a copy. More people use OpenOffice.org 3 as a result of personal recommendation than any other route.
  2. Freedom from worry: However, a free software licence means much more than a one-off cost saving. It means you never need worry again whether your software is legal, or whether it will expire some day. For people responsible for a number of computers - from just a few in a small business, hundreds in a school, thousands in a corporation - this is a huge weight off the mind. No need for software audits, for keeping invoices for years, no worry about ending up in court because you misread some small print in a licence agreement.
  3. We value your freedom: As part of a community dedicated to free software, we also value your freedom of choice. OpenOffice.org 3 will read and write files which can be used in other common office software. It was the first software in the world to fully support the ISO standard for office file formats which is being adopted by a growing number of software vendors. If you want to use other software, we want you to be free to do so. If you want to change your PC from Microsoft Windows to Apple Mac to Linux to Sun Solaris, we want you to be free to do so. If you like this approach, feel free to join the OpenOffice.org community.

How to install Winbox on Ubuntu using wine

June 1, 2008

Today i have some problem, i was installing Wine as a runtime to run my winbox. I have installed the version 0.9.59 and 0.9.61 but the winbox still cannot runs perfectly. I then tried to download the version 0.9.22. I then tried to install it (the 0.9.22) but not all packages are available. There is a missing dependency libldap2.

After browsing for a while, i then finally found the solution, it’s by installing using this command $ sudo dpkg -i –ignore-depends=libldap2,libartsc0 wine_0.9.22-0ubuntu3_i386.deb

Pregnancy signs and symptoms

May 8, 2008

 

Pregnancy, most of the time, is a blithe and cheerfull condition. Most women will think they are real women when they are pregnant. Although pregnancy is pervasive (i bet everyone knows what pregnancy is), but some women are not sure when they are on a pregnancy condition since they don’t really know what are the signs and symptoms of pregnancy.

To say that someone is pregnant, one’s condition should be examined, both subjectively and objectively. The Subjective data is the conditions felt by the woman itself (or we may call it pregnancy symptoms felt by the woman). while the objective data is the pregnant woman’s symptoms that can be seen by anyone else (or we may call it pregnancy signs).

The signs and symptoms of pregnancy can be devided into two categories, the signs and symptoms that MUST BE present during pregnancy and the signs and symptoms that MAY NOT be present during pregnancy.

Pregnancy symptoms and signs that may not be present during pregnancy is:

* No menstruation. This is the first sign and one of pregnancy signs most people know. From this sign, you can estimate embryo’s day of birth. The forumulas to calculate baby’s birth are:

(Last menstrution’s day + 7) = estimated date of birth

(last menstruation’s month-3) = estimated month of birth

* Bellyful, followed by puking. This happens especially during the early months of pregnancy.
* Uncomfortable during excretion, this is caused by hormonal changes.
* Frequent urination, especially on the last months of pregnancy.
* No appetite.

Pregnancy signs that may not be present are:

* Skin color darkens. Especially after 12th week
* Itch, especially on genital areas.
* Gum is bloating, especially on early months of pregnancy.
* Chest is bloating and less flexible.
* The belly is bloating too.
* The pregnancy test produce positive result.

Pregnancy signs that MUST be present are :

* When the belly groped, the embryo’s movement will be detected.
* Baby’s heart can be heared using Doppler tool.
* The baby can be seen using USG (ultrasonography)
* The skeleton of the baby can be seen using rontgen tool.
