Meteor bagai bulan mengambang

Washington: Kilauan cahaya yang dilaporkan menerangi langit di pantai timur Amerika Syarikat (AS) ada kaitan dengan ‘insiden meteor’,” kata Agensi Angkasa Lepas AS (Nasa), semalam.

Pegawai Alam Sekitar Nasa Bill Cooke berkata, cahaya meteor itu dilaporkan begitu terang seolah-olah bulan mengambang.

Katanya, orang ramai dari New York hingga Washington menulis mengenai fenomena itu di media sosial. Cooke berkata, pada asasnya Nasa mendapati ada batu besar yang memasuki atmosfera di bahagian timur laut AS.

“Meteor itu dilihat secara meluas dengan lebih 350 laporan dikesan di laman sesawang Persatuan Meteor Amerika,” katanya.

Ahli persatuan itu, Robert Lunsford berkata, mereka melihat kilauan seperti tahi bintang yang sangat terang.

Cahaya terang-benderang di langit itu dapat dilihat sehingga jauh ke selatan di Florida dan hingga ke utara di New England, lapor akhbar USA Today.

Pengarang berita AP, Matt Moore berkata, dia sedang beratur untuk menonton konsert di Philadelphia ketika senja apabila ternampak “kilatan cahaya yang terang bergerak di langit sepantas kilat...dan secara senyap.” “Ia jelas kelihatan sangat tinggi di atmosfera.

“Tetapi dari cara ia muncul, kelihatan seperti sebuah pesawat yang bersedia untuk mendarat di lapangan terbang,” katanya. Moore berkata, imbasan cahaya itu kelihatan kira-kira dua hingga tiga saat dan kemudian menghilang. “Ia berbentuk bulat kekuningan dan anda boleh tahu ia terbakar,” katanya.

Ketua astronomi di Institut Franklin di Philadelphia, Derrick Pitts bersetuju dengan pendapat bahawa cahaya itu mempunyai tanda seakan-akan ‘bola api’. - AFP

Can Exercise Improve IQ In People With Down Syndrome?

By SHAUN HEASLEY

March 7, 2013

The key to improving cognition in those with Down syndrome could be as simple as stepping onto a bike, researchers say.

Using a method called “assisted cycle therapy,” researchers at Arizona State University say they’re seeing improvement in those with Down syndrome. The approach involves rigorous exercise sessions on a specialized stationary bicycle, with a coach encouraging and monitoring the individual with Down syndrome throughout.

A small, pilot study two years ago found that adolescents with the chromosomal disorder were able to process information more quickly and had better manual dexterity even after just one therapy session. In contrast, voluntary exercise did not produce similar results, said Shannon Ringenbach, an associate professor of kinesiology at Arizona State who’s leading the research effort.

Now Ringenbach has a $150,000 federal grant to study the impact of assisted cycle therapy on people with Down syndrome more in-depth.

In an ongoing study, participants attend 30-minute workout sessions three times each week. Families members have indicated that they’ve noticed an increase in talking, interaction and improved mood among those currently participating in the research effort.

“It’s really remarkable that by doing this kind of exercise, they begin to think faster,” Ringenbach said of the study participants who she believes are developing new brain cells. “It has the potential to dramatically change the quality of their lives. With early intervention in children with Down syndrome, it’s possible it could improve their IQ.”

PUTRAJAYA: No section of society should be marginalised because of their disabilities, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's wife, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, said.

Instead, they should be encouraged to play their part in the nation's development agenda.

"Those with special needs also want to play their part in contributing to the country's development so that we can achieve developed nation status," she said in her speech at the opening of the Community Rehabilitation Centre's (PDK) Products Carnival here yesterday.

Rosmah, who is the Association of Wives of Ministers and Deputy Ministers (Bakti) president, encouraged the public and private sectors, as well as individuals, to support the disabled community through the provision of necessary skills, education and monetary funds.

"I believe they also want to be independent and make a living for themselves.

"I am certain that (for them) a job is not just their right, but also concerns their dignity of being able to be independent and proactive in contributing to society and the country."

More than 1,000 from the disabled community took part in the sales carnival selling various items ranging from food to agricultural produce to paintings at their booths set up along Putrajaya Boulevard, Precinct 2.

The carnival is part of the Semai Bakti initiative, which aims to help those with special needs.

Under the initiative, special needs individuals are given the chance to socialise and learn skills that would help them to better themselves and be more independent.

Present were former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad's wife, Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali, deputy prime minister's wife, Puan Sri Noorainee Abd Rahman, and Putrajaya Corporation president Tan Sri Aseh Che Mat.

Rosmah expressed hope that the items produced by the special needs community through the PDK centres would be promoted in local markets.

"I hope government agencies, such as the Agriculture and Agrobased Industry Ministry and the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry, can help to evaluate, guide and promote their products in the local market."

Rosmah said such a move would help the community be self-sufficient, especially if their products could be sold nationwide.

PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak called on all parties to consider the special needs community as important and valuable assets to the nation.

He said the disabled had talent and potential that could be sharpened or expanded, to allow them to live independently and to contribute to nation building.

 

He called all government departments and agencies and the private sector to provide them with the opportunities to develop themselves and their careers.

  

"What the government and society in general should do is to provide opportunities for them to get a job suited to their abilities and talents, and allow them to lead a normal life.”

 

“I have advised government departments and agencies, and the private sector to provide as many opportunities as possible to people with disabilities because I believe that they will become valuable assets to our country," he said.

  

He said there were many disabled people in the country who were successful in various fields as leaders, athletes and artists.

 

"I also believe that what is done through this programme will leave an indelible mark and prove that people with disabilities were never neglected by the government or society.”

 

He said people with disabilities should not feel inferior or regard their state as an obstacle to their success.

 

He was speaking at the closing ceremony of the Semai Bakti Special Talent Competition 2013 Prime Minister's Cup and Community Rehabilitation Centre  Product Sales Carnival (PDK) organised by the  Wives of Ministers and Deputy Ministers Association (BAKTI) in Putrajaya Square here tonight.

 

Also present were his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, cabinet ministers, chief ministers, menteris besar, and their wives in show of support for the disabled of the country.
