Price Hikes We Dread In 2016

The year 2015 was certainly not an easy one for Malaysians, from having to adjust to fuel subsidy removals starting December 2014, to having to cope with price hikes that came with the implementation of the 6% Goods and Services Tax (GST) in April, to having to weather the weakening Ringgit, which hit a 17-year-low against the US dollar (at 4.40) in September due to falling crude oil prices.

To top it up, tolls at highways operated by 11 concessionaires were also raised by between 20 sen and RM3 in October.

Will the upcoming year spell better news for our wallets? We are not counting on it. In fact, there will be further all-round price increments that we are totally not looking forward to. What are they? Read on to find out.

Benefits of Antioxidants

Antioxidants come up frequently in discussions about good health and preventing diseases. These powerful substances, which mostly come from the fresh fruits and vegetables we eat, prohibit (and in some cases even prevent), the oxidation of other molecules in the body. The benefits of antioxidants are very important to good health, because if free radicals are left unchallenged, they can cause a wide range of illnesses and chronic diseases.

Antioxidants and Free Radicals

The human body naturally produces free radicals and the antioxidants to counteract their damaging effects. However, in most cases, free radicals far outnumber the naturally occurring antioxidants. In order to maintain the balance, a continual supply of external sources of antioxidants is necessary in order to obtain the maximum benefits of antioxidants. Antioxidants benefit the body by neutralizing and removing the free radicals from the bloodstream.

Easy Ways to Take Care of Your Hair

Designer clothing, perfectly applied makeup, and fine jewelry are all wasted if your hair looks greasy, dull, or messy. Fortunately, no one needs a hair salon or expensive hair products to have hair that looks professionally cared for and styled. With the right techniques for shampooing, drying, and styling your hair, it can be among your most attractive features.

We’ll provide some useful hair-care tips in this article, starting with the basics.

1. Keep it Healthy

• Don’t tie your hair back too tightly and never when it is wet. This stretches the hair shaft, causing it to break and split.
• Do eat foods rich in skin and hair enhancing essential fatty acids. By taking care of your diet, the state of your inner health will reflect in the condition of your hair. Be kind to yourself.
• Don’t over-style. Experts recommend using a blow dryer only for special occasions. At the end of your styling session, switch to cold air. This closes the hair shaft, leaving the hair smooth, glossy and shiny.
• Don’t forget to keep regular scheduled appointments with your stylist. Making an appointment for a trim every 4 to 6 weeks will leave your hair in tiptop condition

How Company Culture Shapes Employee Motivation

In a recent strategy meeting we attended with the leaders of a Fortune-500 company, the word “culture” came up 27 times in 90 minutes. Business leaders believe a strong organizational culture is critical to success, yet culture tends to feel like some magic force that few know how to control. So most executives manage it according to their intuition.

We’ve found that answering three questions can help transform culture from a mystery to a science: 1) How does culture drive performance? 2) What is culture worth? 3) What processes in an organization affect culture? In this article, we address each of these to show how leaders can engineer high-performing organizational cultures — and measure their impact on the bottom line.

How does culture drive performance?

After surveying over 20,000 workers around the world, analyzing 50 major companies, conducting scores of experiments, and scouring the landscape of academic research in a range of disciplines, we came to one conclusion: Why we work determines how well we work.

Perlu Atau Ingin?

Keperluan atau keinginan? Ungkapan ini yang sering terlintas di fikiran apabila melihat barang yang disukai di pusat membeli-belah. Perasaan tertarik dan keinginan untuk memiliki mendorong diri untuk membeli. Ia perkara biasa yang dilalui oleh semua orang. Ramai orang mempunyai wang, tetapi yang membezakan anda dengan orang lain adalah jumlah wang yang dimiliki dan cara wang itu disalurkan.

Perkara asas yang diajar ketika kita masih kecil jika mempunyai wang adalah untuk menabung. Sesungguhnya ia amalan yang amat berguna untuk masa hadapan. Ramai golongan muda masa kini gemar menghabiskan wang mengikut nafsu seperti membeli barang-barang yang bukan keperluan sehingga tiada duit simpanan. Ini menjadi masalah besar kelak ketika duit yang benar-benar diperlukan untuk tujuan yang lebih penting seperti berkahwin dan membeli rumah tidak mencukupi. Sebagai contoh, seorang lelaki yang baru mendapat kerja dengan gaji RM2,700 ingin membeli kereta buatan luar negara dengan harga hampir mencecah RM100,000, sedangkan dia dah ada kereta buatan tempatan yang masih berfungsi dengan baik. Jika dilihat secara realiti, memang tiada salahnya membeli kereta baru, tetapi dia tidak PERLU membeli kereta itu sebenarnya.
