It started with China then it spreads everywhere! The Melamine Scare is now everywhere! I don’t understand why there are people in the world who sacrifice the lives of young people just to gain a lot of money. Imagine the reason of the two culprits who put melamine on the leading milk in china for babies was to make a great quantity of milk to produce and released in the market. They didn’t even consider the fact that babies will be the one who will be affected by this irresponsible decision to gain. The effect is the whole China business and products made in China were greatly affected. With the previous Toy scandal, canned good meat scandal, other bad image about China’s products and this, melamine scandal will be the worst of its kind scandal that will really kill the industry of China. All over the world, from US, Canada, Asian countries and other places in the world started to question and even recalled the products of China from their stores. Some (or majority) of the countries even banned Chinese foods due to this melamine issue. Tsk! This will be a great problem for them to face for so many years and it will be very hard for them to recover. Even they put the culprits to firing squad, the effect and damage made were already done. They just can’t undo it.

Another problem with this baby milk scandal is that even baby milk that does not use raw products from China were affected. A domino effect. Every milk in the world were questioned and people don’t know now which milk they should give to their children. Which greatly affected the milk industry in the world. That’s why lately, different milk companies made media press releases claiming that they are not using China milk for their products.

Melamine is a chemical substance used to produce a plastic called melamine resine by combining formaldehyde. High level of melamine intake causes fatal kidney stones and with a young age, babies is not that resistant to this kind of toxicity in the body. That’s why there’s a lot of fatality in China caused by this melamine milk.

There are no really safe place on earth right now. I am just praying that this things come to end and may God do something to make things right and safe for us.

Do the setting & send MMS on iPhone
-----------------------------------------------
I happen to have an iPhone and it has been months i'm using it [it is necessary i mentioned that]. I don't wanna be rude or anything like that but the TV show name 'Fahimagu' on local TV is spitting out wrong information on certain things like GPRS/EDGE and MMS in iPhone [with all due respect]. Well, i'm not going to givva detailed report on what they have blabbered about but certainly a step by step on setting up a third party app called SwirlyMMS for iPhone.

SwirlyMMS is developed by Mats Berggrund and Tommy Sevensson on the late December 2007. I'm currently running version 0.2.2 of this app, which was the update on the January 17, 2008. Until today this app is running smooth as silk and yet it is only possible to send MMS as receiving is not developed so far.

Anyways here's some information you will need to do the settings to be able to send MMS using your iPhone. Following details is based on my experience in this matter. Aand this is only when your carrier is Dhiraagu as i'm using that [duhhhh!]

Here you go!!

1. Install the SwirlyMMS using the Installer. [You need to have Community Sources added to your installer sources]
2. Run the SwirlyMMS and tap the Settings on the right-bottom corner. See the image below;

3. On the Settings page you will have to enter the following as in order;

MMSC and Proxy Server Settings
MMSC: mmsc.dhimobile.com.mv
Proxy: 172.24.97.4:8080 [i had a tough time to figure out this, thanks to 123] :P

MMS-specific APN Settings
APN: internet.dhimobile
Username: [leave this blank]
Password: [leave this blank too]

Image size: You have a 5 options but best recommended is 
Medium.

4. When you are done entering as above tap on Save located on your Left-top corner.

5. Now you are good to go to try sending your first MMS. Tap New MMS on right-top corner. Now you will see the page to enter a
TitleTo and File as in the below image.
6. Just give any title you want and tap the blue '
+' to select the contact you want to send this MMS to and then finally the image [sound slips and so on are not yet possible to send] you want to send then tap the blue send button.

7. You can let me know if it works by posting a comment on this. :)
8. Make a Donation to the developers by going to 
Info located on the left-bottom corner when you open the application. [You can always skip this option though.. ;-)]

When you want to delete your sent MMS history, go to Settings like you did before and scroll down to see the enormous 
RED button - tap on it. :)

That's it for the SwirlyMMS. But one thing, 
GPRS/EDGE works perfectly from day one i started using iPhone, that was in September 2007. O_o

There are some of us Addicted to Food

Due to some reasons, we are overwhelm by the amount of food our community has to offer. One dollar burgers, bottomless drinks, never ending fries, (special long Bread yummy submarins) does this help us or just kill us slowly? We live in a country in which we can obtain food for a dollar or less, but this does not mean we are getting something that is good for us.

We are heading forward for out overweight population than anything else. Don’t you think we need to do something about it?

Maybe we shouldn’t take the endless drinks and food, and we should just eat what we need to eat. By eating more than we need to we shorten our lives and decrease the chances of meeting our grand children (if you don’t want to have children think about not being able to watch your dream grow into what you wanted it to be).

So next time you are face with the decision of eating another bite or walking away really think about it. Do you really need the next bite (you are super full), do you really want to feel all tired because you over ate, do you really want to have a heart attack at 35, do you really just want to kill yourself slowly?

I understand that there are some of us that are addicted to food. With every other addiction like alcohol or drugs, you don’t need them to live (survive). When you are addicted to food is whole different story. You need food to survive, so even if you are trying to quit your addiction you are always tempted when you eat.


After learning about "Two foreign companies expressed interest in looking for oil in Maldives" what immediately came into my mind was my country Maldives, where apart from total dependence on tourism revenue.the country's major source of electrical energy is from natural gas. This leads to a question on what will be fate of my country's economy when the oil price hit unreach.
Some presidential candidates still targeting for oil.why not green energy? why not windmills ?

Ramadan mubarak! May our fasting and prayers be accepted in this blessed month.

Smorking rate is getting higher Among teenage Girls and Boys Is there any adventure or fun in smoking? Absolutely not! Don’t be fooled by the fun packed advertisements of the cigarette making companies. There is no “taste”, no “fun” and no “adventure” in smoking cigarettes. These are just the slogans of the cigarette making companies which are multiplying their profits at the cost of the precious human lives. Say no to smoking, if you want to live a normal healthy life free from diseases. Why not take a bold decision NOW and quit smoking immediately! Are you prepared to do so? Tobacco use is going to kill nearly 10 million people each year, mostly in their productive middle ages. It is estimated that 75% of these deaths will occur in the developing countries mainly due to the high number of smokers and lack of medical facilities available there.Future is on teen hands. please throw your cigarettes and hold you dreams.
