The Use of Indelible Ink

Posted eddyra by on World

Guyana voting process

In the voting process, electors will be required to dip the first joint of their right index fingers in indelible ink. In the past, some persons had claimed to be able to completely wash off the indelible ink from their fingers. This will not be possible at the 2006 elections because the indelible ink to be used is of such improved strength that, no matter how hard one tries, one cannot completely wash it off.

Further, the wet ink on their finger tips will not be wiped off as has been the practice in past elections. Before electors are allowed to vote, their fingers will be examined for traces of indelible ink. If traces of indelible ink are found on an elector’s fingers, it will be presumed that he/she had already voted and will not be allowed to vote again. Subsequently, he/she will be subjected to questioning, and possibly, be arrested immediately.

Could we apply it in our country?

2008 is a leap year

Posted eddyra by on World

A leap year is a year in which an extra day is added to the calendar in order to synchronize it with the seasons. 2008 is a leap year, which means that it has 366 days instead of the usual 365 days that an ordinary year has. An extra day is added, February 29, which is called an intercalary day or a leap day.

Leap Year is announced by that last day of February that only appears every four years. Leap Year has been around for thousands of years. February usually has 28 days, but during Leap Year 29. Why is there a February 29th?

Julius Caesar first created Leap Year in 46 B.C. so that the calendar year would match the solar year. The solar year, or the amount of time it takes the earth to travel around the sun, is about 365.2422 days. The extra .2422 creates an entire extra day every four years.

Rules for Determining a Leap Year
Most years that can be divided evenly by 4 are leap years.
For example, 2008 divided by 4 = 502: Leap year..

Suhaimi Salleh, 30, who had been remanded at the Sungai Buloh prison, took some time to regain his composure after hearing the verdict yesterday.

UMNO Terengganu bergolak?

Posted eddyra by on politic

Apa yang sebenarnya berlaku di Terengganu? Di web pembangkang tranungkite.net menyiarkan beberapa photo demostrasi bantahan yang di adakan oleh penyokong-penyokong UMNO terhadap keputusan MB Dato Seri Idris Jusoh.

Menarik tu.

Aku tak arif dalam percaturan politik tetapi kejadian demostrasi ini pertama kali berlaku di zaman aku, mungkin dah banyak kali berlaku dulu tapi aku tak tahu.

Adakah ini gimmick, strategy atau betul-betul berlaku.

Semua photo dari tranungkite.net

Sekiranya ini benar-benar berlaku, mungkinkah satu perubahan besar akan berlaku di Terengganu selepas PMU12 nanti…
