World's most unique 5 Strangely Colored Beaches - I wish 2 visit there..‏

Papakolea Beach
beach with green sand

One of only 2 green sand beaches in the world, the truly magnificent sight of Papakolea Beach can be experienced by travelling to Hawaii's Ka'u district. Again, the unique colour of its sand can be attributed to volcanic activity - specifically, the green hue belongs to the abundance of olivine crystals which have been produced as a result of a nearby cinder cone erupting and eroding.


Hyams Beach
beach with white sand

You may need to wear your shades when visiting Hyams Beach in New South Wales, Australia, but not just due to the sun. It's not surprising after looking at photos but this sublime stretch of beach is home to the whitest sand in the world, an honour awarded by the Guinness Book of Records.


Punalu'u Beach
beach with black sand

Punalu'u Beach is the most visited of the few black sand beaches on Hawaii's Big Island and the stunningly black sand is actually volcanic rock, deposited as lava and subsequently cooled when met by the ocean. Apparently to take any of the sand home would result in you being cursed by a volcano goddess by the name of Pele.


Pfeiffer Beach
beach with white & pink sand

The hills surrounding Pfeiffer Beach in Big Sur, California, are rich in Manganese Garnet. A result of this being washed down onto the beach is the colour scheme you can see above - the entire stretch of sand has become a shifting, pink and purple canvas. Although it's probably inedible, I can't help picturing a bowl of Raspberry Ripple ice-cream every time I see it.


Kaihalulu
beach with red sand

You won't find many beaches elsewhere in the world with sand as red as this one. Kaihalulu, or Red Sand Beach, is situated on the island of Maui and can thank the neighbouring cindercone hill for its intensely deep red appearance.

PROGRESS REPORT

Introduction
The purpose of this report is to inform lecture about the progress preparation of our group assignment. We start prepare this assignmnet since 2nd september 2009 and assume that it will be done at 1st October 2009. This assignment is talking about how information system changes the way we do business today in area IT infrastructure: Hardware and Software. The industry that we choose is IT industry and particular company is Dell. The preparation is progressing smoothly and on schedule.

Work Completed
We had found some articles and journals for reference. Then, we also had asksed some opinion from lecturer. After that, we took around one day to discuss the content which has to include in the outline and frame work. Every member has taken part in this assignment.

Work in Progress
We are now starting to find out the information about Dell, hardware, software, and information system. We want to know what information system that used by Dell and how it apply in their business.

Work Left To Do
What we should do for the next are apply information or ideas that we found into assignment. The works which have been done by our group mate will be combining and edit by leader. After completed our assignment, we will pass it to lecturer for checking.

Problems
Actually, we are facing some problems in doing this group assignment. For example, we still lack of information to do it. Beside that, we also busy with other asignmnet and midterm examination. It is difficult to find a fix time for us so we are unable to meet together. But so far the problem that we are facing are not so serious.


~Wish all my friends all the BEST in midterm ^^

This is a 'BEST JOKE' award winner in UK

One Chinese person walks into a bar in America late one night and he saw Steven Spielberg. As he was a great fan of his movies, he rushes over to him, and asks for his autograph. Instead, Spielberg gives him a slap and says 'You Chinese people bombed our Pearl Harbor, get out of here.' The astonished Chinese man replied 'It was not the Chinese who bombed your Pearl Harbor , it was the Japanese'. 'Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, you're all the same,' replied Spielberg. In return, the Chinese gives Spielberg a slap and says 'You sank the Titanic; my forefathers were on that ship.' Shocked, Spielberg replies 'It was the iceberg that sank the ship, not me.' The Chinese replies, 'Iceberg, Spielberg, Carlsberg, you're all the same.'

This particular joke won an award for the best joke in a competition in Britain

H1N1 warning~~

Are u scare H1N1 or not?? Just now my friend send me a message, said that the H1N1 is become H3N2 already.. Jabatan Kesihatan also highlighted the H1N1 flu can be spread out faster in the smoke.. But i still no feeling with this flu now.. Why?? I also don't know..............

Nothing~~

Today is first day from my 1 week holiday.. Before that, I still consider this 1 week is my nice and take a rest holiday.. But unfortunately, my lecturer give us a tough question for individual assignment yesterday.. Really is a tough question.. Should be try find the related information first, maybe after that just can do it.. But let me take a relaxation weekend first.. haha ;p

Fantastic Natural Phenomena‏~~

Fire Rainbows~~

A circumhorizontal fire rainbow arc occurs at a rare confluence of right time and right place for the sun and certain clouds. Crystals within the clouds refract light into the various visible waves of the spectrum but only if they are arrayed correctly relative to the ground below. Due to the rarity with which all of these events happen in conjunction with one another, there are relatively few remarkable photos of this phenomena. Some also suggest this this phenomena could be similar to the formation of Auroras.


Mammatus Clouds~~

True to their ominous appearance, mammatus clouds are often harbingers of a coming storm or other extreme weather system. Typically composed primarily of ice, they can extend for hundreds of miles in each direction and individual formations can remain visibly static for ten to fifteen minutes at a time. While they may appear foreboding they are merely the messengers - appearing around, before or even after severe weather.


Ice Circles~~

While many see these apparently perfect ice circles as worthy of conspiracy theorizing, scientists generally accept that they are formed by eddies in the water that spin a sizable piece of ice in a circular motion. As a result of this rotation, other pieces of ice and flotsam wear relatively evenly at the edges of the ice until it slowly forms into an essentially ideal circle. Ice circles have been seen with diameters of over 500 feet and can also at times be found in clusters and groups at different sizes as shown above.


Red Tides~~

Red tides are also known as algal blooms - sudden influxes of massive amounts of colored single-cell algae that can convert entire areas of an ocean or beach into a blood red color. While some of these can be relatively harmless, others can be harbingers of deadly toxins that cause the deaths of fish, birds and marine mammals. In some cases, even humans have been harmed by red tides though no human exposure are known to have been fatal. While they can be fatal, the constituent phytoplankton in ride tides are not harmful in small numbers.


Blue Holes~~

Blue holes are giant and sudden drops in underwater elevation that get their name from the dark and foreboding blue tone they exhibit when viewed from above in relationship to surrounding waters. They can be hundreds of feet deep and while divers are able to explore some of them they are largely devoid of oxygen that would support sea life due to poor water circulation - leaving them eerily empty. Some blue holes, however, contain ancient fossil remains that have been discovered, preserved in their depths.


Columnar Basalt~~

When a thick lava flow cools it contracts vertically but cracks perpendicular to its directional flow with remarkable geometric regularity - in most cases forming a regular grid of remarkable hexagonal extrusions that almost appear to be made by man. One of the most famous such examples is the Giant's Causeway on the coast of Ireland (shown above) though the largest and most widely recognized would be Devil's Tower in Wyoming. Basalt also forms different but equally fascinating ways when eruptions are exposed to air or water.


Sailing Stones~~

The mysterious moving stones of the packed-mud desert of Death Valley have been a center of scientific controversy for decades. Rocks weighing up to hundreds of pounds have been known to move up to hundreds of yards at a time. Some scientists have proposed that a combination of strong winds and surface ice account for these movements. However, this theory does not explain evidence of different rocks starting side by side and moving at different rates and in disparate directions. Moreover, the physics calculations do not fully support this theory as wind speeds of hundreds of miles per hour would be needed to move some of the stones.
