Israel Accused Of Using White Phosphorus In Gaza
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - A leading human rights group on Saturday accused Israel of using white-phosphorus munitions during its offensive in the Gaza Strip and warned of the risk to civilians near the fighting.

Human Rights Watch said in a statement that its researchers in Israel observed multiple air-bursts on Jan. 9 and Jan. 10 of artillery-fired white phosphorus near the city of Gaza and the Jabalya refugee camp.

The group said Israel appeared to be using white phosphorus to hide military operations -- "a permissible use in principle under international humanitarian law".

"However, white phosphorus has a significant, incidental, incendiary effect that can severely burn people and set structures, fields, and other civilian objects in the vicinity on fire. The potential for harm to civilians is magnified by Gaza's high population density, among the highest in the world," Human Rights Watch said.

It called on Israel to stop the practice.

An Israeli army spokesman had no immediate comment.

White Phosphorus (WP), known as Willy Pete, is used for signaling, screening, and incendiary purposes. White Phosphorus can be used to destroy the enemy's equipment or to limit his vision. It is used against vehicles, petroleum, oils and lubricants (POL) and ammunition storage areas, and enemy observers. WP can be used as an aid in target location and navigation. It is usually dispersed by explosive munitions. It can be fired with fuze time to obtain an airburst. White phosphorus was used most often during World War II in military formulations for smoke screens, marker shells, incendiaries, hand grenades, smoke markers, colored flares, and tracer bullets.

WP is a colorless to yellow translucent wax-like substance with a pungent, garlic-like smell. The form used by the military is highly energetic (active) and ignites once it is exposed to oxygen. White phosphorus is a pyrophoric material, that is, it is spontaneously flammable).
When exposed to air, it spontaneously ignites and is oxidized rapidly to phosphorus pentoxide. Such heat is produced by this reaction that the element bursts into a yellow flame and produces a dense white smoke. Phosphorus also becomes luminous in the dark, and this property is conveyed to "tracer bullets." This chemical reaction continues until either all the material is consumed or the element is deprived of oxygen. Up to 15 percent of the WP remains within the charred wedge and can reignite if the felt is crushed and the unburned WP is exposed to the atmosphere.
White phosphorus results in painful chemical burn injuries. The resultant burn typically appears as a necrotic area with a yellowish color and characteristic garliclike odor. White phosphorus is highly lipid soluble and as such, is believed to have rapid dermal penetration once particles are embedded under the skin. Because of its enhanced lipid solubility, many have believed that these injuries result in delayed wound healing. This has not been well studied; therefore, all that can be stated is that white phosphorus burns represent a small subsegment of chemical burns, all of which typically result in delayed wound healing.
The amazing thing is that White Phosphorus is used in almost every product imaginable – from soft drinks to toothpaste. White phosphorus is used by industry to produce phosphoric acid and other chemicals for use in fertilizers, food additives, and cleaning compounds. Small amounts of white phosphorus were used in the past in pesticides and fireworks.
In recent years, concentrated phosphoric acids, which may contain as much as 70% to 75% P2O5 content, have become of great importance to agriculture and farm production. World-wide demand for fertilizers has caused record phosphate production. Phosphates are used in the production of special glasses, such as those used for sodium lamps.

Shortly, before our IIUM kuantan mega assembly, it was farah who called me and asked whether she should go to the assembly as it was also held at IIUM pj because she’s going to have her exam that night..to farah and others out there..come, let us show our simple moral supports to our Muslim’s brothers and sisters who suffers a lot. Comparing to their situation and our simple obstacles here, it was nothing.

Buku Principle- centered leadership oleh Stephen R. Covey

Stephen R. Covey is also an author for THE 7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE. This PRINCIPLE- CENTERED LEADERSHIP according to the author is to be read after you complete reading the 7 habits ( or at least in my opinion you know about it coz I oso not finish reading the book only read da synopsis and hearing a lot of people talking about it)
Let’s recall back what all those 7 habits are
Habit 1 : Be Proactive
Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind
Habit 3: Put First Things First
Habit 4: Think Win-Win
Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood
Habit 6: Synergize
Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw

Sebenarnya saya tak habis lagi baca buku ni tapi mungkin lambat lagi nak abes bca kot. Bahasanya payah and u have to read it loud macam baca quran and tak semena mena at the end of the page u ask urself: oh, aku baca apa ni n u have to read it once again. Anyway, regardless of all those problems kalu jumpa buku ni baca saje.GANBATE!!
MEH SAYA KONGSIKAN SATU RAHSIA YANG SAYA DAPAT DI ZAMAN ZAMAN SAYA DOK SEKOLAH MAAHAD LAGI: KALAU TAK SEMPAT BACA BUKU KESELURUHANNYA ATAU (MUNGKIN MALASS) JGN TINGGAL JE BUKU TU GITU, AT LEAST BACA PART PREFACE ATAU PENDAHULUAN PUN CUKUP SEBAB BACA PART TU PUN SEBENARNYA ANDA SUDAH BOLEH DAPAT GAMBARAN KESULURUHAN REGARDING THE CONTENTS OF THE WHOLE BOOK)
Dalam buku ni, Stephen R. Covey (SRC) cerita lepas buku 7 habits dia tu laku habis dia mula jumpa ramai orang yang ada sincere intention untuk berubah dan berusaha untuk jadi lebih baik tapi guna variety of ill- advised approached yang akhirnya 7 habit yang beliau cadangkan tu berubah jadi 7 habit of INEFFECTIVE people, bak kata abangnya John Covey:
• Be reactive: doubt yourself and blame others
• Work without any clear end in mind
• Do the urgent thing first
• Think win/lose
• Seek first to be understood
• If you can’t win, compromise
• Fear change and put off improvement
The main idea in this book adalah kalau nak Berjaya begantung pada diri sendiri:
Apa yang paling penting adalah kita sendiri kena jadi orang yang hebat dan boleh dipercayai dan untuk mencapai semua itu tidak lain dan tidak bukan adalah untuk menjadi orang yang mempunyai prinsip dan berpegang teguh kepada prinsip tersebut.
We often think of change and improvement coming from the OUTSIDE IN rather than from the INSIDE OUT. Even if we recognize the need for change within, we usually think in terms of learning new skills, rather than showing more integrity to basic principles. PRINCIPLE- CENTERED LEADERSHIP introduced a new paradigm- that we center our lives and our leadership of organizations and people on certain “true north” principle.( Quote from pg 18)
Kita senang bekerja dengan orang yang kita percaya kan?
When trust is HIGH, we communicate easily, effortlessly, instantaneously. But when trust is LOW, communication is exhausting, time-consuming, ineffective and inordinately different.( Quote from pg 18)
Reading motivational book you have to read it from the very beginning until the end because the author will introduce his own terms and way to describe his own idea which can only be understood when you fully indulged in his book.
Centering life on correct principles is the key to developing this RICH INTERNAL POWER IN OUR LIVES AND WE CAN REALIZE MANY OF OUR DREAMS
The FOUR crucial dimensions in our lives are SECURITY, GUIDANCE, WISDOM AND POWER.
Lacking SECURITY and SELF- ESTEEM, we tend to be emotionally dependent on others.
Lacking WISDOM, we tend to repeat past mistake.
Lacking GUIDANCE, we trend to follow trends and fail to finish what we start.
Lacking POWER, we tend to reflect what happens to us and react to external condition and internal moods.

In organizational part, TREAT PEOLPLE THE WAY YOU WANT THEM TO TREAT YOU.

It’s not how much you accomplish in life that really counts,
but how much you give to others.
It’s not how high your dreams are built
but how high your faith can climb.
It’s not how many goals you reach,
but how many lives you touch.
It’s not who you know that matters,
but who you are inside.

I don’t know

For the time being I keep thinking that the discovery and research regarding human body was completed because the substance of research which is our body can be seen with our naked eyes compared to the study regarding cosmos; galaxy and stars. It really mysterious. But later I discover that there are still many things in human body remain unknown.

During my anatomy practical, we were taught that our right lung was divided into three lobes and the left lung only divided into 2 lobes. I ask him “Prof, why both of the lungs did not have same number of lobe? Does it have something to do and affect it function?” .He takes a long time to reply me and humbly said ‘I don’t know’. I was totally stunned with that answer. With more than 40 years of experience in anatomy, I don’t expect him to answer like that.

This situation reminded me with one story. Anas bin Malik was a great Muslim scholar during the period of sahabah. One day, one man came to him and asked him 100 questions. He can answer all the questions but surprisingly 10 question out of 100 that the man asked, Anas bin Malik replied ‘I don’t know’. The man was unsatisfied with his answer and said “Anas, you are the most knowledgeable person among us, you should not reply me with this kind of answer”. Anas then replied, “It’s true that I have more knowledge compared to others but the all- knowing is not me but ALLAH”

Say: "If the ocean were ink (wherewith to write out) the words of my Lord, sooner would the ocean be exhausted than would the words of my Lord, even if we added another ocean like it, for its aid."
