It took the Academy of Technology and the Classics senior less than five minutes to cast his ballot for a school board member, a governing board member for Santa Fe Community College and to support the school districts HB33, which renews a 1.5-mill property tax that provides about $9 million a year to maintain school facilities and costs the typical homeowner about $150 a year.

Ia menjejaskan keharmonian kaum negara kita.

KUALA LUMPUR: Ketua Polis Negara, Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar meminta semua pihak berhenti daripada mengeluarkan sebarang kenyataan mengenai isu boikot harga barang.

Beliau melalui laman Twitternya menegaskan, perbuatan tersebut boleh menjejaskan keharmonian kaum di negara ini.

Boycott issue, @PDRMsia ask all parties to immediately excercise restraints in making public statements. It hurts our racial harmony, katanya, lapor The Rakyat Post.

(Isu boikot, @PDRMsia meminta semua pihak untuk segera berhenti daripada mengeluarkan kenyataan. Ia menjejaskan keharmonian kaum negara kita.)

Terdahulu Khalid melalui laman Twitternya juga mengeluarkan satu lagi kenyataan bahawa polis akan memanggil Menteri Pertanian dan Industri Asas Tani, Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob untuk mengambil keterangan berhubung isu tersebut.

Sebelum ini, status yang dimuat naik Ismail Sabri di laman Facebooknya pada Ahad yang menggesa pengguna untuk menggunakan kuasa memboikot perniagaan yang dijalankan secara tamak, telah mencetuskan reaksi kurang senang pihak tertentu.

Bagaimanapun, Ismail Sabri tampil membuat penjelasan bahawa tujuan kenyataan itu dibuat untuk meminta rakyat menggunakan kuasa dan hak mereka sebagai pengguna menekan peniaga yang mengaut keuntungan berlebihan dan tidak ditujukan kepada kaum tertentu.

A CHAMPION weight watcher has shed half her body weight in just over a year. Eileen Morris, aged 48 of Dyserth, lost the weight after joining Towyn WeightWatchers in January last year, loosing more than 100 pounds.

Eileen, who is a full time carer of husband Ray, said: I found it quite easy to lose the weight. As long as you stick to the diet plan you're fine. I've never been hungy on it - even on points you can eat whatever you want as long as your stick to them.

To lose the weight, Eilieen stuck to her plan, carried out plenty of excercise and ate filling foods like fruit and vegetables.

She added: I feel like I have a lot of energy now where as before I couldnt really walk much without getting breathless.

Losing weight has come with a new life style. I walk four to five miles a day, and I now play netball which I hadnt played for 27 years, and have taken up Zumba which is a lot of fun, its not really like a workout.

Weightwatchers has helped a lot as it is a very supportive community. Theres a Facebook page so we can all help each other out when times are difficult.

My family and friends are very proud - my son wrote me a letter to say how proud he was and put it in my christmas card.
