| Greed, Gullibility and Guilt | | This happened about more than 5 years back.
Fancy me, at this late stage in life, getting conned by a scratch-and-win game.
I was definitely not the first to fell for it; nor will I be the last.
I knew that it has been happening through the papers. You will never know until it confronts you and hits you right smack in the face.
An innocent phone call brought about a train of events. The aftermath of the events still reverberates till this day. I still feel sheepish thinking about my gullibility.
“Are you Mr. X?” I replied in the affirmative. I was told my name was selected by Telekoms Malaysia at a “white goods” fair held at Bukit Jalil Stadium. I had won a prize in absentia. Could I collect it at their office in Klang? This Sunday at 3.00 p.m.? I said it was a date.
So with my wife, I drove to Klang; got lost a couple of times but I finally found the shop. And then they started the con.
You have won a multipurpose cleaner. It is worth RM40.00. By the way, today is the last day of our lucky draw. Would you like to try your luck? So they gave me 5 scratch-and-win cards to choose from. I chose and scratched one.
Lo and behold! I won RM3, 500 worth of prizes. These include a... | |

Lo and behold! I won RM3, 500 worth of prizes. These include a microwave oven, a high grade American steel wok, a Juice and Food Processing System and a foot massager. However to get the free gifts, I must first purchase an item from the store.
So they introduced me to an exercise machine. It was called the Blood Circulation Machine. All you need is to stand on the machine and vibrate for 15 minutes and the derivative aerobic benefit will be the equivalent of a 5 mile run on your heart. The machine is made in Korea and costs... | |

| Would you drink reclaimed water... or waste water? | | People are saying that drinking bottled water here in the States is not the best thing to do yet... I live in an area (Orange County, California) where reclaimed waste water is being cleaned and blended, not with the agricultural water where it should be going, but with the drinking water... Wondering if you would drink reclaimed water? Would you trust it or would you use bottled water? | |

| | Recycled Wastewater | | How would you feel about drinking Recycled Wastewater?
*
We are facing serious to crippling droughts in various countries including the United States. Many local governments are considering using that which we flush to augment our water supply. Recycled water is also being used to refresh underground water supplies and to irrigate crops.
*
Recycled wastewater goes through an elaborate process to make it usable for water glasses.
*
To make waste water suitable for dumping into rivers or the ocean, it undergoes the following steps.
** Big stuff like tree limbs are removed.* Coffee grounds and other granulars settle out.* Chemicals are added to encourage gunk to clump and settle out.* Bacteria are added to break down poo.
*
To return it to the water glasses of the American public, it undergoes further treatment:
** Sodium hypochlorite is added to disinfect the water, which then goes through microfilters.* The water is treated with reverse osmosis, a process used in some home-water filters, to remove dissolved contaminants.* Finally, hydrogen peroxide is added and the water is irradiated with ultraviolet light to removed the last of the organics.
