Men, women and kids, all like guitars if they like music as part of their hobby. These days the pink acoustic guitars are in trend very much. The main reason behind the popularity of these guitars is their cool shade – pink, that is known as the women’s favorite color worldwide. And not only women but kids too love the pink color, so the guitar companies specially produce kids pink acoustic guitar.

Acoustic Guitar – This kind of guitar works on acoustic methods for projecting the sound from the strings. The invention of acoustic guitars took place after the electric guitars.
The Concept – Generally, in all guitars, the sound is produced by the vibration of the strings, but because the strings of a guitar are able to displace only a small air amount, so the volume of the sound has to be increased in order to be heard. In an acoustic guitar, this part is accomplished by using a soundboard and a sound box. In these guitars, the body is hollow and the vibration of the strings drives the soundboard through the bridge making it vibrate. In an acoustic guitar, the soundboard has a larger area and larger air volume that helps in producing a louder sound when compared to that produced by the strings. When there is a vibration in the soundboard, the sound waves are produced both from the front and back sides.
Sound Box – In an acoustic guitar, the sound box provides support to the sound board and a resonant cavity and also a reflector for the sound waves produced on the back face of the soundboard. And the air circulating in the sound box resonates with the vibration modes of the string that again increases the sound volume. The back of the guitar also vibrate to a lesser extent because of the air in the sound box and some sound is projected through the sound hole.
The pink acoustic guitar is mostly popular among the women and kids. It is true that color has nothing to do with the sound a guitar produces, but still the pink color has some special essence taking with it that makes everything look special be it a guitar or anything else. So, it is not a wonder that why the pink acoustic guitars are liked by such a huge number of people.
Now, it is sure that the popularity of the pink acoustic guitar will never come down.
More and more people are looking for cheap pink acoustic guitar to feed their hunger for the music.

Article: Business Communication Etiquette

By: Natalie R. Manor & Natalie E. Hoffmann

The idea that people need to have feedback, appreciation and information is a good basis for understanding how and why excellent business communication is important and compelling for success. In fact, not only do they need it for appreciation, they need it to continue to be effective and be successful. If we do not give feedback and communicate we will lose our influence and cut into creating successful results.

Being busy is never an excuse for not communicating in a timely way. What does “timely” mean anyway? In the old days, timely meant the same day. In the new days – and I have experienced this hundreds of times – timely means:

“Whenever I get a chance to get back to you assuming I remember what you

wanted and can find the email or the correspondence on my desk because it is

covered with tiny notes and phone numbers because I have not taken the time to

clean up my work area because I am too busy."

You get the picture.

Let me be very clear. It is NEVER ok to not respond to those you are doing business with; those you want to do business with; those that can refer you to business; those who were referred by someone; anyone writing to you (except spam and porno) needs a response. If you are getting 500 emails a day that is now a systems issue and you need to find a way to receive what is most important to you.

• Tell your colleagues that you do not need to be on every email “reply”
• Find a spam filter system that serves you
• Go through a week and track who is sending you email and find out it they are important or not and inform them if you do not need to hear from them
• Find someone to screen you emails for applicability to you
• Separate business from personal by having two different email addresses so you don’t have to worry that you miss either
• Stop signing up for newsletters and information that you don’t need – go back to the ones you did sign up with and unsubscribe from those you never read and delete anyway

 

Don’t let email steal your efficiency. Take the time to manage what it is that is most important to you so you can get on to communicating with those relationships that offer you the best shot at successful results.

 

In your very best relationship - whether your spouse, best friend, sister, co-worker - you can easily communicate with them in a high value way. You telephone, email, write notes, make plans and generally stay in contact with them because you want the connection and the relationship.

 

In building very good relationships in business, it is absolutely the same. What is different in a business relationship is that you communicate with them and you don't always know them as well as a dear friend. However, they need the same attention that a good relationship needs. These needs are:

• Returning a phone call
• Following up on a request
• Listening intently
• Appreciative communication
• Clear communication with details and directions
• Doing what you say you will do
• Remembering what is important to them
• Valuing what is most important to them

 

Our communication styles and methods are being stretched to the limit by email, technology, lack of time and demands on our ability to do so much in our days.

 

But there are rules of common courtesy that have NOT changed since the inception of humans dealing with each other in a high value way. If you want to be a remembered, trusted and respected leader, you will practice these courtesies with every business contact.

 

If you take the time to examine what is important to you, we think you will find that they are also the courtesies that you expect in all business communication – actually how you would like to be treated and communicated with.

Email - not only should you be returning emails in a timely way, but you need to set the context each and every time of why the email is important and what information it is that you want to deliver. Spam filters help, but in order to more easily control your email load, you need to be in more control of what you generate yourself. In business, be brief, be informational and be gone.

Cell phones - the ring tones that are available now are fun outside of the office, networking situations, client lunches etc. Put them on vibrate or shut them off. Take and make calls when you are with people sparingly. Most people are not interested in listening to your conversations no matter how stimulating you think they might be. If you need to take or make a call, excuse yourself and then make it brief.

Returning phone calls – We are not sure when it became ok to not return phone calls, but it is not ok. Whether you think you have time to return the call or not, find out what people need, make sure you are clear on whether you can help them or not and then get back to your own work. People who return phone calls are trusted and respected. You do not need to make the calls long. In fact, returning all calls twice a day instead of doing it piece meal all day long is a good way to manage your time more appropriately.

Here are some additional basics that will help you grow your own identity and brand which will identify you as a trusted and respected “up and coming leader”:

• Practice your handshake - ask a friend to shake hands with you and then ask them to give you feedback. Firm is good.
• Eye contact - learn to look at a person when they are speaking.
• Body language - 55% of our non verbal communication is our body - watch what your body is saying about you.
• Business card - get one and have them with you ALL of the time. Do include an address, email, telephone number, name and what you do – a title is very good. If your company does not provide a business card, get one for you anyway. The fast print companies all have programs you can easily and quickly make one for you.
• Holding doors - opening a door for someone is not just a guy thing anymore. Ladies, if you get to the door first, open it.
• Standing and greeting - if you are being introduced, stand, reach out your hand and shake their hand. This is not a gender issue. Women in the workforce can show respect by standing and shaking hands.

We are delighted to contribute to your business and communication etiquette successes.

Bleeding Petrol: Malaysia on Life Support

Written by johnleemk on 9:28:36 am Mar 24, 2007.

Categories: Malaysian Economy

There is a tremendous amount of wastage and inefficiency in Malaysia, be it in the private or public sector. There is an incredible amount of money carelessly being thrown around by politicians — our money — and since a substantial amount of this money winds up in the pockets of their cronies, its detrimental effects spread to the private sector.

Careless government spending's effects should be apparent to anyone; they engender short-term economic growth, but can impede long-term growth because rewards are not given out on a basis of who can do the job best, but who can kiss the most ass. Some economists also theorise that countries with petroleum-based economies suffer competitively because rewards are given on a basis of who was lucky enough to own the right plot of land or have the right connections, rather than who can be most productive.

Still, a question arises. Why can our government afford to spend so much, and why have we been doing it for so long? Why could we afford to build the tallest twin towers in the world, and then afford to leave them half-occupied? Why could we afford to build a gaudy administrative centre with tacky architectural styles imported from foreign lands and impossibly lavish luxuries? Why can we afford to continue awarding contracts to government cronies, instead of opening the bidding process to all?

All this wastage has contributed to greater consumption in the Malaysian economy, thanks to the multiplier effect of government spending. When the government gives out one ringgit, the recipient spends a proportion of it (the rest being saved or otherwise withdrawn from the economy), and then a proportion of this amount is spent by its next recipient, and so forth.

But this free ride for us will come to an end when the gravy fountain dries up. So why have we been able to pig ourselves out at the feeding trough? Why is there so much free money for the taking?

The answer lies in one word: oil. This resource has been the main driver of the Malaysian economy for the past two decades, and will apparently continue to drive it until our reserves are finally exhausted.

At first glance, this contention might seem odd. After all, the bulk of our exports and much of our GDP comprise industries based on manufacturing and agriculture. Petroleum makes up a relatively tiny amount of the economy.

Gross domestic product, however, is not the same as gross national product. GDP includes the income of foreign firms in its calculations, while GNP does not. The GNP would be a more accurate figure to use.

The main reason, though, why our economy revolves around petroleum is that it revolves around the government. The government is the source of support for some of our largest firms and conglomerates, be they Sime Darby, Guthrie, Gamuda, or Petronas (the largest Malaysian company, and the only one in the FORTUNE 500 if I'm not mistaken).

Moreover, at least a million people and their families directly rely on the government for their income. (A few of them also get bribes on the side, but that's another problem altogether.) In addition to these public servants, thousands more are employed by the megaconglomerates that dominate our economy, and these people are thus indirectly kept employed by the government.

And where does our government get its money from? Why is it so free to waste our funds on trifles? How can it afford to be the only source of the income of millions? Because of oil. Our virtually nationalised petroleum industry is the source of half of all government revenue.

According to the 2006 budget — the relevant figures can be found at the Treasury website — RM20,106 million of government revenue alone came from direct and indirect taxes on petroleum. That's no small sum, considering that the total government revenue was about RM115,561 million.

That is far from all, however. The government attributes RM35,136 million of revenue to non-tax sources, but does not itemise these sources. It states in a footnote, however, that this income includes "government commercial undertakings" and "petroleum royalties/gas cash payments".

I have no sure way to estimate the amount of petroleum royalties, but according to Wikipedia, in 2004 Petronas contributed RM25,000 million in "dividends and other revenues" to the treasury. Conservatively estimating that RM30,000 million was contributed by Petronas in 2006 (the price of oil has gone up, after all), we arrive at a figure of at least RM50,106 million worth of revenue derived directly or indirectly from petroleum — and this does not even include royalties on petroleum!

Just imagine if the government were forced to slash its budget in half. There would be at least a million irate government employees (already being underpaid and now seeing their salaries slashed), and thousands more of private sector employees being laid off. Consumption would fall drastically, and our economy would tank.

The government's policies have always been predicated on an expanding economy. The bedrock of modern Malaysian economic policy, the redistributive New Economic Policy, explicitly states that it relies on an expanding economic pie. What will happen if the pie contracts?

Basically, the government will be forced to rob Peter to pay Paul. And once that happens, the latent but visible social tensions that course through our society will be laid bare in all their violent nakedness. The non-Malays have been content to lend their fellow Malaysians a hand — they have even put aside this nonsensical rhetoric about handouts being a Malay right because of "Malay supremacy".

But will the non-Malays tolerate this ridiculous situation once they find their incomes shrinking, but their expenditure increasing, when more and more laid off Malays go on the government dole? The answer is obvious, and it spells disaster.

Making matters worse is the fact that ours is a country with a growing population. Former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad targeted a 70 million population by 2100, and we look to be set to achieving a figure close to that. With a growing population and a shrinking economic pie to share, even if we had no racial tensions to worry about, there would be more than enough cause for concern.

The double whammy is worse, though. The Malays have the highest birth rate — Malay writer Dr. Bakri Musa has actually said that the Malay birth rate remains mired in the high figures of the undeveloped world, while the Chinese and Indians have achieved more reasonable birth rates associated with developed countries.

Now think about it. You have more Bumiputras than ever relying on the government for their income. You have fewer non-Bumiputras relative to the number of Bumiputras than ever who the government relies on for its income. What's going to happen when this pyramid scheme collapses, as it probably will once half the government's income is wiped out?

This is a time bomb ticking away for Malaysia. If we do not act now, if we do not have a government prudent enough to understand the need for a diversified economy and a government wise enough to build up our true resource — our people and their ingenuity — we will find ourselves confronted with a problem of cataclysmic proportions within a few decades. If we don't act now, by the time we realise we need to act, it will be far too late.

Life Is Nothing Without Music

In this short essay I would like to express my feelings, my obsess and my real deep interest to something that what peoples always hear, sing, and play in their daily life which is called as Music.

In a simple word, I'm a truly a music lover. I think that the most time that I spends the most for my hobby is to play music. Actually, my dreams is to be a lecturer of musics.I'd started by learning guitar and started from that time, I'm always dreaming to learn playing other kind of musical instruments such as keyboard, drum, violin and all kinds of instruments. This is all because I loves music damnly much.

Music is really have become part of my life. Music sometimes may help us to express our impression. Sometimes it may release our stress,neither it can also rise our stress.haha. Sometimes, it'll be our friends when there's nobody with us, when we're in tears and it'll sometimes becomes cure to our sadness.

The kind of musics that I really likes is traditional musics such as dondang sayang and Malaysian rythms. I’d started to hear this classic melody since I was a child, which my fathers who always sing those kind of classic song. I also loves musics with a very soft melodies,but brings courage and strength such as the ‘Hijau’ song, sing by Zainal Abidin.Each bytes of the songs contain a very deep meaning.

Musics isn’t all about songs neither having fun enjoying it, but music is also a some kind of way which act as a relator to conduct us to our god, Allah. We are also having a music while reading the Quran which it helps us to be more concentrate while doing it. For me,there are no such musics neither melodies which can be compare to the sound which called ‘Azan’ .
