This is the Swiss Confederation (Confoederatio Helvetica in Latin) or most people called Switzerland. The name is a derivation of the ethnonym Helvetii, the name of the Gaulish tribe inhabiting the Swiss Plateau prior to the Roman conquest. The English name Switzerland is a compound containing Switzer, an obsolete term for the Swiss, in use during the 16th to 19th centuries. The coinage of Switzerland has been struck at the Bern Mint since 1853 with but a few exceptions. This is Confoederatio Helvetica 5 rappen 1906 coin. It weight at 2g, with diameter of 17.1 mm and made of copper-nickel. On the obverse is a crowned head right and on reverse value within wreath.On the coin is the Libertas head (often interpreted as Helvetia). Libertas (Latin for Liberty) was the Roman goddess and embodiment of liberty. Libertas, along with other Roman goddesses, has served as the inspiration for many modern-day symbols, including the Statue of Liberty on Liberty Island in the United States of America. Helvetia is the female national personification of Switzerland, officially Confœderatio Helvetica, the "Helvetic Confederation". Helvetia appears in patriotic and political artwork in the context of the construction of a national history and identity in the early 19th century, after the disintegration of the Napoleonic Helvetic Republic, with a 1672 play by Johann Caspar Weissenbach. Helvetia appears on official federal coins and stamps from the foundation of Switzerland as a federal state in 1848.

On the obverse is head facing right and on the reverse is vulcan standing at anvil facing left divides date and value. The head on the coin is head of ceres. Ceres is the goddess of growing plants (particularly cereals) and of motherly relationships in Roman mythology. Ceres was worshipped in Ancient Roman religion, and is today again worshipped in Roman Neopaganism. Ceres was usually equated with the Greek goddess Demeter. Her name may derive from the hypothetical Proto-Indo-European root "ker", meaning "to grow", which is also the root for the words "create" and "increase". "Ceres" and "cereal" are cognates. Ceres made up a trinity with Liber and Libera, who were two other agricultural gods. She also had twelve minor gods who assisted her, and were in charge of specific aspects of farming.Ceres was the daughter of Saturn and Ops, sister of Jupiter, mother of Proserpina by Jupiter and sister of Juno, Vesta, Neptune and Pluto. Works of art depicted Ceres conventionally with a scepter, a basket of flowers and fruit, and a garland made of corn ears (note that "corn" in this instance refers to wheat, barley, or some other old world food grain, not to the new world food grain maize, which is called "corn" in the United States and some other areas of the Western hemisphere). Ceres was also patron of Enna, Sicily. According to legend, she begged Jupiter that Sicily be placed in the heavens. The result, because the island is triangular in shape, was the constellation Triangulum, an early name of which was Sicilia.

King Juan Carlos successfully oversaw the transition of Spain from dictatorship to parliamentary democracy.King Juan Carlos I is a direct descendant of many famous European rulers from different countries. He is a descendant of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom through his grandmother, Victoria Eugenie; of Louis XIV of France through the House of Bourbon; of the Emperor Charles V, who belonged to the Habsburg dynasty of the Holy Roman Empire; and of the House of Savoy of Italy. The Capetian dynasty to which he belongs is the oldest in Europe.

José Protasio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda (June 19, 1861 – December 30, 1896, Bagumbayan), was a Filipino polymath, nationalist and the most prominent advocate for reforms in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial era. He is considered the Philippines' national hero and the anniversary of Rizal's death is commemorated as a Philippine holiday called Rizal Day. Rizal's 1896 military trial and execution made him a martyr of the Philippine Revolution.The seventh of eleven children born to a wealthy family in the town of Calamba, Laguna, Rizal attended the Ateneo Municipal de Manila, earning a Bachelor of Arts. Rizal was a polyglot conversant in at least ten languages. Jose Rizal was the founder of La Liga Filipina, a civic organization that subsequently gave birth to the Katipunan led by Andrés Bonifacio and Emilio Aguinaldo. He was a proponent of institutional reforms by peaceful means rather than by violent revolution. The general consensus among Rizal scholars, however, attributed his martyred death as the catalyst that precipitated the Philippine Revolution.

Young woman prosecuted not reporting treasure coin
A Young woman in Ludlow become the the first person to be convicted of failing to hand in suspected treasure coin in Britain. Kate Harding, 23, was prosecuted under the Treasure Act after she ignored orders to report the rare find to a coroner. She found a 700-year-old silver piedfort marking Charles IV's 1322 coin in her garden discovered 14 years ago as she worked in the garden with her mother. When her mother's past away last year, she approached museum experts with the coin who identified it as a piedfort, but she did not inform the coroner.
Photo by dailymail.uk: Kate Harding outside the courtThis is a landmark case in UK for Treasure Act 1996, treasure finder fail to report Treasure. Under the Treasure Act 1996, treasure is defined as any single object at least 300 years old which is not a coin but has a precious metal content of at least 10 per cent. The Act gives a finder 14 days to inform the local coroner of potential treasure and creates an offence of failing to carry out that duty where this is not followed.
Photo by BBC News: The silver piedfort
Photo by dailmail.UK: The silver piedfortThe silver piedfort marked Charles IV's ascension to the French throne in 1322. The exact use of piedforts is unknown. They are generally thicker than coins and were not used as currency. Experts have suggested they were used as guides for mint workers or as reckoning counters for officials. Only three others have been found in the UK. One found in 2007 was bought by the British Museum for £1,800.
Ludlow magistrates heard how Miss Harding had ignored calls and letters from Ludlow Museum advising her to report the piedfort to the district coroner once it had been identified last February. Museum staff then notified Anthony Sibcy, the coroner for South Shropshire, who informed police. Miss Harding initially claimed she had lost the piedfort, the court heard. Defending Miss Harding, Brendan Reedy said she had failed to notify the coroner because of ' disorganisation' on her part and that the artefact had a sentimental value to her. Miss Harding, who lives with her boyfriend on the outskirts of Ludlow, admitted having an object that is believed to have been treasure and not reporting it to the coroner. She faced up to three months in jail or a fine, or both, but walked free from court on Wednesday with a conditional discharge and was ordered to pay £25 of the £300 costs.

The court only fine her with a small fee. Maybe this action by the court is just a warning to all treasure hunter out there who found a treasure but will not report it. Some people really gain a lots from treasure that they find. She found that coin in her house 14 years ago but the Act already stated any suspected treasure need to be reported. Treasure found maybe an important artifact to that particular country. But this young woman isn't a treasure hunter. She look like a victim for the authority effort to stop metal detector treasure hunter in the country. What is your say about this?

Great weekend and hope everyday in my life is worth it to live for.....Britain oldest shipwreck site found
One of the oldest shipwreck site was found near the town of Salcombe by divers from the South West Maritime Archaeological Group. One of the historic find in the Shipwreck site including a 3,000 year old Bronze Age trading vessel which is the oldest shipwreck ever found in Britain. Investigation and recovery work on the boat’s cargo was carried out by archaeologists from South West Maritime Archaeological Group (SWMAG) between February and November 2009, but the find was only made public this month at the annual International Shipwreck Conference in Plymouth.
Photo: A diver searches for sunken treasure using an underwater metal detector.
Photo: A golden bracelets, was part of a 900 B.C. cargo discovered in May 2009.
Photo: Golden bracelets, called torques.So far, 295 artifacts with a combined weight of 84 kilograms have been retrieved by SWMAG at the shipwreck site. The Bronze Age treasure was found in the Salcombe region, close to the shore and in just 26 to 33 feet (8 to 10 meters) of water. Three golden bracelets found in the most recently identified Salcombe shipwreck site gleamed enough to be noticed. While the new found wreck yielded several golden bracelets, called torques, the previously discovered site included even rarer treasures, which date to between 1300 and 1100 B.C. Once worn as a bracelet, the braided-wire torque is incredibly rare, with the closest known example coming from France, according to Ben Roberts of the British Museum.
Photo: Hundreds of copper and tin ingots found at shipwreck site.But the large quantity of metal ingots at the site resemble gravel cobbles, making them very hard to distinguish in undersea rock gullies. Shaped into pellets convenient for shipping, copper and tin ingots were the raw material for making the metal which defines the Bronze Age. The Salcombe shipwreck's 259 copper ingots likely came from overseas, possibly from mines in central Europe or what is now Spain, according to the study team. This metal ingots would have been used to make bronze, which was the key product of the period. The bronze would in turn have been used to fashion all from tools to weapons and jewellery.
Sadly none of the ship’s structure remains. Most likely it has been rotted away over the centuries. But experts have speculated that it was probably a “bulk carrier” about 12 metres long by almost two metres wide, and made out of long timber planks or a wooden frame with animal hide stretched across it. It would have been crewed by about 15 men and powered by paddle. A narrow row boat might sound like an exposed and treacherous way of crossing the English Channel, but it’s thought that intrepid Bronze Age mariners would have used vessels like this to criss-cross the waterway with some frequency.

Do you know who owned Mudah.my? Mudah.my (Mudah.com or Mudah Classified; as some Malaysian prefer to called that website) is a website with a simple idea: buy and sell basically everything and find jobs, cars for sale, houses for sale, mobile phones for sale, computers for sale, and properties for sale in Malaysia. Some says Mudah.my owned by A Singaporean and Swedish. With over 510839 ads online everyday, Google Page Rank 5, Alexa world ranking at 2,909 and top ten Alexa ranking in Malaysia. Mudah.my certainly one trading place that everyone should be looking into.
Mudah.my exactly owned by 701Search Pte Ltd, a Singaporean Company owned by young Singaporean entrepreneur. 701Search Pte Ltd was incorporated in September 2006 and was set up by Singapore Press Holdings and Schibsted to develop online businesses in this region. In July 2007, 701Search Pte Ltd set up its first overseas subsidiary, 701Search Sdn Bhd. The company, which obtained Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) status in Malaysia launched its online classifieds website, Mudah.my in November 2007. Within 9 months, the website established itself as Malaysia's No. 1 buy and sell website.

In Malaysia, Shylendra A.S. Nathan is the General Manager of the Malaysia mudah.my operations. In mudah.my once the advertisements published they are conveniently organized into Location (i.e. states, regions and/or provinces), For Sale or Wanted and a variety of product categories. For a quick locate an advertisement, there are basic wide card search and advanced category dependent search criteria. Once the Advertisement is found, it can be added to Favorites for future quick reference. All advertisers' contact details are hidden on request and they block unwanted spam where possible.For me, Mudah.my is like Malaysia online flea market. You just need to beware that there is conman, fraudster, scammer and cheater among thousands of genuine seller. The list of fraud case rise every year. Some of the coin and currency on sale in mudah is selling at a ridiculous price or make no sense at all. 1 ringgit 1971 coin sale for RM5K? Or even an old square coin(malaya & british borneo one cent coin) on sale for 900 ringgit. To anyone who do collecting will be laughing at the advertisement. But the owner should implemented some method where the seller is rated, to make sure only reputable seller keep on doing sale in their website. I try to find information about Mudah.my in Wikipedia but I cannot found any.

Tailor Swift Hairstyles
Tailor Swift Hairstyles
Tailor Swift’s hair is absolutely envious. She might jump out of her normal routine and wear it flat and straight, which looks fine, but her hair is naturally curly. Those ringlets you see on the red carpet are hers. Yeah, I’m jealous too!
You’ll hardly ever see the pretty singer without getting an eyeful of those gorgeous curls. Sometimes she manipulates them into being tight or loose, but they’re never too big or too little. They’re always just right.
Tailor Swift’s Lovely Curly Hair
Of course, she doesn’t just wake up and have perfect hair, though it looks like she does. If you’re wondering how to get that effortless, tame ringlet look, try these pointers:
For naturally curly or wavy hair, use a leave in conditioner. You can even mix it with your favorite texturizing product. Apply it from the ears downward; leave the top alone.
Taylor Swift's Grammy awards 2010 hairdo
To prevent frizz, don’t touch your hair while blow drying. Use a long finger diffuser attached to your blow dryer and go through your hair slowly, not combing but supporting strands so that they can dry evenly. If your hair is thin and needs volume, bend over at the waist and blow dry your hair from the roots up.
If your hair is naturally straight, you’ll need a curling iron to get this look. Try something with a barrel that’s at least 1” thick. You don’t necessarily have to have tight curls; remember the looser they are the more natural it looks. Finish it off with a good natural hold hairspray. If you need shine, you can add a drop of serum to the roots, but let the curls shine on their own.

CNY - Part 2
Last Friday, got an interview at KL.
The headhunter gave me wrong address.
They emailed me to go to Menara Maxis.
Well, I have not been to KLCC for almost 7 years.
The interview suppose to be scheduled at 11.00am.
I reached KLCC around 10.00am.
Parked my car , wrote down the place I parked and also took photo of the parking lot.
(Yeah! I always forgot where I parked)
Asked the information counter on how to go to menara maxis.
Manage to find the way.
I went to ladies to get myself tidy up! ehehehe must look good especially with my black dot on my cheek! ehehehe i went to remove my pigmentation the day before so the scar still in healing process.
I went up to the 36th floor as requested.
Aikkkks! the girl were saying I am at the wrong place.
Apparently they have 2 offices and the interview suppose to be at Menara Citibank!
Gosssshhhhh!!!! now 10.40am.
How to go to Menara Citibank?
Panic attack!!!!
Keep breathing! keep breathing!
I am more afraid to be late rather than thinking on how to get there.
Damn! after few round in and out using my touch n go car round and round in KLCC itself, finally manage to find way to Jalan Ampang!
Ah!!!! I should reach KLCC at 9.00am instead of 10.00 then will give me more time to rectify this mistake.
Manage to find Menara Citibank although I parked my car at Nikko Hotel. I guess they are sharing.
Met the CEO, Myanmar guy. Not bad looking. Quite young and I guess mid 40s.
I was told he is an Engineer based and more analytical thinking.
So, the whole interview went very dull and quiete.
Most of the time he paused and thinking what to ask me I guess!
Ah! boring seriously.
Asked nothing on what I can do and I end up asking him a lot on the function and details on company that cant be found from the web.
Most of the questions are on my cooking skills (well! what can I say since my MBA started I stop cooking and my skills getting bad! But just say I am good at any stir fried cooking mostly chinese and thai style hey! I used to good in these kind of cooking except for baking!)
He asked on my background and hobbies.
Ah! hobbies... I wish I dont open my mouth too soon.
Regret it so much but hey I need quick answer.
Now I realise I dont really have any other hobbies apart from surfing the net.
Well my hobbies to him is jungle trekking!!! jungle trekking????
