Winds to change course on Monday

BY TEOH TEIK HOONG

PETALING JAYA: Be prepared for the return of the haze as early as Monday.

This is the advice from the Meteorological Services Department which says based on the changing wind patterns, the haze is likely to be in the Klang Valley again.

In addition, the south-westerly winds are also likely to blow the haze to Johor and Singapore. The public have been advised to be prepared and take every precaution for such an eventuality.

The public can expect a respite only if fires in Sumatra are doused before the end of this week.

The winds, if they return, are set to blow billows of smoke across the Straits of Malacca to blanket large parts of the west coast, especially the Klang Valley.


The southern states of Peninsular Malaysia, and possibly even Singapore, may also be affected as more hotspots have been detected in Jambi, south of Riau.

Meteorological Services Department director-general Chow Kok Kee said the present south, south-westerly winds, which had taken the haze elsewhere and brought some relief to the country would revert to its south-westerly course, bringing with it drier conditions.

“If fires continue in Sumatra and Kalimantan, there is a possibility that the wind will carry the haze particles over to our side.

“The south-westerly wind is expected to last between two to three weeks,” he said during a press conference at the department.

Chow said the forecast wind direction was expected to be accurate unless there was a significant change in the weather in South East Asia, like a typhoon.

He said the northern states would not be affected by the wind change if no hotspots appeared in the northern parts of Sumatra.

“Today we had rain over most parts of the Klang Valley and Johor.

“Last night, there was moderate rain over Riau for about two hours but we are unable to tell whether it helped to reduce the hotspots as there are clouds over the area,” he added.

He said rain in haze-affected areas would only help to clean the air of particulate matter but would not take the haze away.

“We will continue to monitor the situation round the clock and see if there is any significant change in the weather pattern,” he added.

Meanwhile, 28 monitoring stations around the country recorded air quality as moderate, while another 23 stations recorded good air quality as at 11am yesterday.

The Department of Environment said in a statement that 99 hotspots were detected in the country.

Sixty hotspots were detected in Pahang; 25 in Sandakan, Pedalaman and Kudat in Sabah; and 14 in Miri, Sarawak.

Cloud cover made the detection of hotspots in Sumatra and Kalimantan difficult.

Several areas recorded visibility of up to 6km. They include Prai, Bayan Lepas, Butterworth, Ipoh and Subang.

Areas in Alor Star, Petaling Jaya, Lubok Merbau, Malacca, Batu Pahat, Kluang and Senai recorded visibility of between 8km and 9km.

In Penang, Science Technology, and Innovation Minister Datuk Seri Jamaluddin Jarjis said that Malaysia would spend RM5mil on cloud-seeding to induce rain above hotspots in Riau, Sumatra, and Central Kalimantan, reports NG SU-ANN.

He said a civilian plane and a military jet would carry out the cloud-seeding soon, adding that more planes might be enlisted later, if necessary.

“We are working with the Indonesian Government on the project. Malaysia will bear the expenses while Indonesia will allow us to use its airspace,” he told a press conference yesterday

Voila!

Catalyst: derived from the definition of a substance that can cause a change in the rate of a chemical reaction without itself being consumed in the reaction; the changing of the reaction rate by use of a catalyst is called catalysis.

The all new committeesof APAcS 2005/2006 this time has come into a new branding of APAcS through the enhancement of the logo, meaning, new maxim, and tagline.

Why catalyst? Catalysts work by changing the activation energy for a reaction in its own environment exclusively. It initiates or accelerates a reaction without itself being affected and causes an important event to happen. We in APAcS, see
ourselves as catalysts for changes.

In the anticipation of holding views and measures on behalf of the management and the students, we have marked a revolutionary evolvement throughout the years. We progress from a simple to a complex one, and we adapt the development in changes persistently.

As a result, the new maxim for APAcS would be “Catalyst” and a relevant apt tagline would go as “A Revolutionary Evolvement”.

Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room

Release Date:  April 22nd, 2005

http://www.enronmovie.com/

watch the trailer::of an OVERALL RATING OF A-!nice movie..enjoy it!

http://us.rd.yahoo.com/movies/info/lnav/trailers/?http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hv&cf=trailer&id=1808626884

A good scandal can get your blood up; it has villains and New_bitmap_imagevictims, the cleansing fury of injustice made public. Yet there was little righteous or cathartic about the collapse of Enron. To follow the greedy machinations of Kenneth Lay and company was to enter the vortex of a new kind of virtual corruption, with its own universe of fine print. The scandal was a triumph of almost metaphysical obfuscation, which seemed to live on well after the company went bankrupt. The more you learned about Enron, the more it made your head hurt, until your anger shared space with impotence. The cure for that malaise is Alex Gibney's Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room, a deeply straightforward yet beautifully crafted documentary (it's like a great Frontline episode with hipper music) that turns the vortex inside out, and does it with a thrilling moral clarity. The film invites us to zero in, for instance, on the moment that Enron seems to take the leap from routine go-go bravado to a fearless new dimension of financial insanity: It's when Jeffrey Skilling, the company's CEO, pushes ''mark-to-market'' accounting — thus booking potential future profits as if they'd already been realized. In a single stroke, Skilling, who resembles an angry Peter Jennings with a touch of a Charles Grodin weasel, appears to make it possible for Enron to declare its profit to be whatever the company wants it to be. The income statement therefore becomes a fiction, one that exists to keep the stock price high. The success of the stock acts as the proof of the company's glory, which then fuels the stock — a cycle of illusion destined to unravel. Based on the book by Fortune magazine reporters Bethany McLean (who broke the story) and Peter Elkind, The Smartest Guys in the Room lays bare, in funny and shocking video clips, the culture of arrogance at Enron, a corporation that exploited deregulation to turn the buying and selling of energy into a kind of private casino. It captures how the company was given favorable treatment by the Bush administration, and the bigger picture of how its fraudulence emerged from — and depended on — the speculative mania of the dotcom era. By the time Enron is shutting down electricity plants, exploiting — and perpetuating — the California energy crisis for its own ends (we hear a recording of one trader, during a brush fire, as he says ''Burn, baby, burn!''), you may be sitting there slack-jawed, wondering how they got away with it for so long. Or when it will happen again.
