Bekas atlet pecut wanita menang rayuan kes saman pakar ortopedik
PUTRAJAYA 21 Julai - Mahkamah Rayuan hari ini membenarkan rayuan bekas atlet pecut, Nor Azleen Mohammad Mustafa yang menyaman seorang pakar ortopedik dan Pusat Perubatan Universiti Malaya (PPUM) yang didakwa cuai ketika melakukan pembedahan membetulkan tulang belakangnya pada tahun 2005.
Panel tiga hakim diketuai oleh Datuk Mohd. Hishamudin Mohd. Yunus yang bersidang bersama Datuk Balia Yusof Wahi dan Datuk Mohd. Zawawi Salleh turut memerintahkan kedua-dua responden membayar kos RM30,000.
Kuorum berkenaan memerintahkan taksiran ganti rugi dilakukan di hadapan Pendaftar Mahkamah Tinggi Pulau Pinang. Tarikhnya telah ditetapkan pada 11 Ogos depan.
Panel tersebut sebulat suara mengetepikan keputusan Mahkamah Tinggi pada 9 November 2012 yang menolak tuntutan saman RM3 juta terhadap Pakar Perubatan Jabatan Ortopedik, Fakulti Perubatan Universiti Malaya, Dr. Omar Md. Isa dan PPUM.
Nor Azleen, 23, merupakan bekas atlet pecut Pulau Pinang dan pernah menyertai acara 100m, 200m dan 4x100m dalam Kejohanan Sukan Malaysia (Sukma) 2004 dan 2006 serta merupakan atlet pelapis remaja kebangsaan yang menyertai banyak kejohanan olahraga terbuka sebelum menjalani pembedahan.
Hakim Mohd. Hishamudin dalam keputusan itu berpuas hati bahawa pakar tersebut selaku defendan pertama telah dibuktikan melakukan kecuaian ketika menjalankan pembedahan tersebut.
Panel itu turut berpendapat, PPUM selaku defendan kedua bertanggungjawab memikul liabiliti yang diwakilkan kepadanya (vicarious liability).
Noor Azleen ditemani keluarganya hadir ke mahkamah bagi mendengar rayuan tersebut. Dia diwakili oleh peguam N. Ahilan manakala PPUM diwakili oleh G.K. Ganesan dan N. Sharmini.
Bekas atlet itu menghadapi komplikasi saraf tunjang akibat luka terkena alat yang digunakan ketika pembedahan menyebabkannya lumpuh dari pinggang ke bawah dan terpaksa menjalani fisioterapi dalam tempoh yang lama.

Berikutan insiden itu, Nor Azleen terpaksa memakai alat sokongan sehingga tulang belakangnya menjadi keras selain tidak boleh terlibat dengan sebarang acara sukan.
Sementara itu, Ahilan memberitahu pemberita, Nor Azleen sehingga kini masih belum dapat berjalan dengan baik kerana kedua-dua kakinya tidak kuat selain sukar mengawal sistem pembuangan air kecil dan besar akibat luka pada saraf tunjang.
Nor Azleen dalam tuntutan samannya memohon defendan membayar ganti rugi am sebanyak RM3 juta, faedah, kos dan relif-relif selanjutnya yang dianggap sesuai oleh mahkamah.
Gadis tersebut lahir dalam keluarga yang berbakat dalam sukan kerana bapanya, Mohammad Mustafa Nagoor Gani, 55, merupakan bekas jurulatih bola sepak Pulau Pinang manakala dua adik beradiknya merupakan bekas pemain hoki dan bola sepak negeri.

Personal Hero: Billy Joel And Mikal Kern

...For me, deciding upon a personal hero is a rather difficult task due to the multiple admirable people in which inspire me. Although I have many heroes, including Billy Joel and Mikal Kern, the one whom stands out the most and deserves to be credited far more is a person in which I personally know. Ronald Lelm, a Lidgerwood, ND, local, is one of the people in which I admire the most. I know Ronny Lelm through the Gutzmer Scrap business, owned by my Grandfather and Father, with my Mother being an employee.

...Music and Its Effect on the Learning Experience of Children from Early Childhood To Adulthood Abstract Research proves that music has a major impact on the brain of individuals of all ages. This work focuses on how the use of music, melody, and song can play a positive role in the learning experiences of children throughout all grade levels if implement by teachers and instructors. With the assistance of three children, one from each age group (early childhood, middle to late childhood, and adolescence) it is proven that music does have an effect on the learning experience. It is also proven that ideas can be drawn from the developmental theories of Jean Piaget, Lev Vgotsky, and Sigmund Freud to correlate with the responses of the three children about how music effects their learning. Introduction If you were told that two groups of students in a case study were found to improve at significantly different rates in learning subjects such as reading and math in an elementary school what would you think was the independent variable used in the case study? Would you suspect that the independent variable was a difference curriculum? Maybe you would suggest that it could have been a difference in teachers?

The Rose That Was

...hardships that were a part of Tupac’s earlier days. The rose represents Tupac and his determination to make something of himself against all odds. Tupac Shakur, born Lesane Parrish Crooks on June 16, 1971, spent the majority of his youth in New York City where he was born. In Tupac’s poem the concrete symbolizes his early childhood and the struggles that were a part of growing up. Tupac’s father was absent for most of his life, according to the (urbandictionary.com). Tupac did not meet his biological father, Billy (William) Garland, until after he was shot five times on November 30, 1994, in New York City. Tupac would eventually incorporate the “thug life” persona in his life which would lead Tupac on a downward spiral of misfortunes. Mikal Gilmore, in Rolling Stones article characterizes Tupac as “perhaps the most despised man in America.” Gilmore goes on to describe the late rapper’s music as being merciless and condemned by some of Americas most powerful people (Glimore102-104). Tupac would eventually end up in jail for sexual assault which would not be his last brush with the law. Between Tupac’s vision of what the concrete symbolizes and what was instilled in him from a mother and step father that were members of the Black Panther’s movement, Tupac would eventually battle an inner demon that would ultimately lead to his death. Tupac, in his poem, writes “Proving nature’s law wrong it learned to walk without feet” this can used as a mirror image of Tupac’s success...

Crinimal Law Paper

...Children Psychopaths In 1979, sixteen-year-old Brenda Spencer received a rifle for her birthday. She used it to shoot kids at an elementary school near her San Diego home, wounding nine and killing two. A reporter asked her later why she had done it. Her answer: "I don't like Mondays. This livens up the day." In 1993, two bodies were found on a country road in Ellis County, Texas. One was male, one female. The boy, 14, had been shot, but the 13-year-old girl had been stripped, raped, and dismembered. Her head and hands were missing. The killer turned out to be Jason Massey, who had decided he was going to become the worst serial killer that Texas had ever seen. He tortured animals, stalked another young woman, and revered killers like Ted Bundy, Charles Manson, and Henry Lee Lucas. He was nine years old when he killed his first cat. He added dozens more over the years, along with dogs and even six cows. He had a long list of potential victims and his diaries were filled with fantasies of rape, torture, and cannibalism of female victims. He was a loner who believed he served a "master" who gave him knowledge and power. He was obsessed with bringing girls under his control and having their dead bodies in his possession. Nine-year-old Jeffrey Bailey, Jr. pushed a three-year-old friend into the deep part of a motel pool in Florida in 1986. He wanted to see someone drown.

Woodstock Research Paper

...8 Apr 2011 Woodstock: Peace, Music, and Memories In the summer of 1969, a music festival known as “Woodstock” took place for three straight days in Upstate, New York with thirty-two musical acts playing, and over 400,000 people from around the world coming to join this musical and peaceful movement. Woodstock started out being a small concert, created to promote peace in the world. Now, Woodstock is still being celebrated over 40 years later. This three day music festival represented the perfect concert for the “baby boomers” during a messy political time. Woodstock significantly impacted the counterculture era of the 1960’s in a number of ways; how it began, the ideas of the concert, the sense of union and love it represented and it impacted the entire counter- culture era. That weekend, there were all kinds of different people and together they made love, money and a little history. Over all, the concert cost more than 2.4 million dollars. It started when four completely different people sponsored it. There was John Roberts, Joel Rosenman, Artie Kornfeld and Michael Lang. The oldest was only twenty-six, and the youngest man being only twenty-three. All four of the guys didn’t agree on much, but they did agree on a slogan, “Three Days of Peace and Music.” They figured that the “peace” would help promote the anti-war act and they figured it might also decrease violence at the event. The Dove on the Guitar was originally a catbird perched on a flute. But, because of the...

David

...Print Email Download Reference This Send to Kindle Reddit This    [pic] The Life Of King David Religion Essay David was the second king of Israel and a descendant of Abraham. He was the youngest of eight brothers in his family (1Samuel 17:22) and was growing up as a shepherd (Bible Dictionary). He was the father of the well known king Solomon. In New Testament Jesus called as son of David. I am going to tell about David’s life before he became a king; a description of his way of becoming a king of Israel. As a king he was righteous and brave. However, as far as I am concerned, his life before becoming a king was also interesting to know. I have chosen to concentrate particularly on this part of his life, because at that point he seemed to be an ordinary person like an average shepherd, but his great faith and believe in God gave him such a strength and bravery, that he managed to become a famous hero and king in the Biblical story of Israel. The story of David begins in the Bible from the 16th chapter of 1st Samuel. David was the youngest son of Jesse, who was son of Obed. Also here we get information about his anointment by Samuel, who was a prophet before and had set Saul on throne for the United Kingdom. After that, David faced the first trial which defined his future. It was the war with Philistine. Philistines had one unbeatable warrior Goliath whom they sent to fight with any Israelite warrior. The end of their battle would define the winner. Goliath was a...

Undocumented Immigrants

...Why I believe immigrants come to America? I believe they come to America to have a better life, and get money to provide for their families. Immigrants come to America to seek freedom and different opportunities they cannot get in their homeland. Why should immigrants have to be deported back to their homeland because they have no rights in America which is supposed to be the “Land of the Free”. These people we call “immigrants” are the same people who would do anything to stay in the country.They do work us Americans don't like to take part in and wouldn't lift a finger doing. Immigrants actually want to work in U.S, they wants something good for themselves. This is the dream, they come to pursue a dream they wouldn't be able to get back home. They see America as their way to happiness and a better life. So why not let immigrants try to pursue a dream and find happiness instead of judging them and wanting to kick them out if the country. If they aren't doing any harm, why want them leave? Freedom is a big part of why immigrants come to America. Immigrants are people just as Americans, they aren't nothing less. They fight just like Americans fight to survive in the country. What would us Americans do if they were an immigrant living in poverty raising themselves? Yes some Americans do raise themselves but not all live in poverty.(Weeden, L. Darnell) No one should be judged by where they come from, who they are, or how they look.

...EMERGING ROLES IN HIM National EHR Database Security Synthia Ross ITT Tech Online OLA 1- Managing Business Information Systems Professor Mikal Wilkerson July 27, 2013 Abstract In 2009, President Barack Obama declared that by 2014, all American health records would exist in an electronic format. As part of this undertaking, the federal government has budgeted $19.2 billion in incentives for medical institutions to invest in EHRs via the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA). By making health records completely digital, we are entrusting our most private information to “cyber-space” and opening ourselves up to potential violations of privacy. It is imperative that everyone consider the new security issues faced when approaching data storage, transmission and retrieval from various electronic devices. HIPAA’s agenda was to establish privacy, security, and electronic standards for health care providers that handle different types of patient information. The accountability part of the act includes the penalties for breaches in medical privacy, disclosures of patient records by e-mail, or un-authorized network access. How will this mesh into the emerging National Electronics Health Records Database managed by the US Government?

...Social Media Marketing Abstract Keywords: social media marketing, advantages, electronic word-of-mouth (e-WOM), disadvantages. Introduction Marketing is a well-built methodological science and is continuously changing its rules to adapt to the new developments. Internet development and especially social media is one of the recent changes that happened to the market and it has a major impact on the communication between the firms and customers. Internet helps people to share, to create, to adjust content, and to get informed. It has certain characteristics (Peterson et al., 1997) such as: * Stores vast amounts of information at different virtual locations inexpensively * Distributes, searches, and organizes the information powerfully and inexpensively * Serves as a transaction medium * Low cost and easy entrance * Serves as a physical distribution medium for certain goods such as software. Social media is different from traditional media as it provides quality, regularity, usability, proximity, and eternity, which makes it efficient for the firms. According to a report from the Center of Marketing Research (CMR), more large companies are using social media to promote their brand online (Belicove, 2012). The introduction of social media to the market has changed the way businesses operate and advertise. The largest mediums have been pages such as Facebook, Pinterest, FourSquare, Youtube, and Twitter. In 2012, the yearly report showed that large companies...

Six Sigma

...six sigma six sigma training, history, definitions - six sigma and quality management glossary Six Sigma is now according to many business development and quality improvement experts, the most popular management methodology in history. Six Sigma is certainly a very big industry in its own right, and Six Sigma is now an enormous 'brand' in the world of corporate development. Six Sigma began in 1986 as a statistically-based method to reduce variation in electronic manufacturing processes in Motorola Inc in the USA. Today, twenty-something years on, Six Sigma is used as an all-encompassing business performance methodology, all over the world, in organizations as diverse as local government departments, prisons, hospitals, the armed forces, banks, and multi-nationals corporations. While Six Sigma implementation continues apace in many of the world's largest corporations, many organizations and suppliers in the consulting and training communities have also seized on the Six Sigma concept, to package and provide all sorts of Six Sigma 'branded' training products and consultancy and services. Six Sigma has also spawned manay and various business books on the subject. Six Sigma, it might seem, is taking over the world. Interestingly while Six Sigma has become a very widely used 'generic' term, the name Six Sigma is actually a registered trademark of Motorola Inc., in the USA, who first pioneered Six Sigma methods in the 1980's.
