PlayStation Portable

The PlayStation Portable (officially abbreviated PSP) ^[6] is a handheld game consolemanufactured and marketed by Sony Computer Entertainment.^[7] Development of the console was first announced during E3 2003,^[8] and it was unveiled on May 11, 2004 at a Sony press conference before E3 2004.^[9] The system was released in Japan on December 12, 2004,^[10] inNorth America on March 24, 2005,^[11] and in the PAL region on September 1, 2005.^[12]

The PlayStation Portable is the first handheld video game console to use an optical disc format, Universal Media Disc (UMD), as its primary storage medium.^[13][14] Other distinguishing features of the console include its large viewing screen,^[15] robust multi-media capabilities,^[16]and connectivity with the PlayStation 3, other PSPs, and the Internet.^[17][18]

Despite the console's superior computing power and multimedia capabilities, sales have (with cyclical exceptions) lagged behind its main competitor, the Nintendo DS.^[19] Nevertheless, the console is "the most successful non-Nintendo handheld game system ever sold".^[20] After the release of a remodeled, slimmer, and lighter version of the PlayStation Portable, appropriately titled Slim and Lite, in early September 2007, sales quadrupled in the United Kingdom the following week and increased by nearly 200% in North America for the month of October.^[21][22]

On October 17, 2004, Sony announced that the PSP would launch in Japan on December 12, 2004 at a price of ¥19,800 (about US$181 in 2004) for the base model and ¥24,800 (about US$226 in 2004) for the Value System.^[33] The console's launch was a success with over 200,000 units sold the first day.^[34] They also sell different color variations in bundle packs, which cost more than usual, around $200. Sony announced on February 3, 2005, that the PSP would go on sale in North America on March 24, 2005 in one configuration for a MSRP ofUS$249/CA$299.^[35] Some expressed concern over the high price,^[36] which was almost US$20 higher than the system's price in Japan and more than $100 higher than the recently launched Nintendo DS.^[37] Despite the concerns, the PSP's North American launch was a success,^[38][39] although reports two weeks later indicated that the system was not selling as well as expected despite Sony's claim that 500,000 units had been sold in the first two days.^[40][41]

The PSP was originally to have a simultaneous PAL region and North American launch,^[30] but on March 15, 2005, Sony announced that the PAL region launch would be delayed because of high demand for the console in Japan and North America.^[42] A month later, on April 25, 2005, Sony announced that the PSP would launch in the PAL region on September 1, 2005 for €249/£179.^[43] Sony defended the high price, which was nearly US$100 higher than in North America, by pointing out that North American consumers had to pay local sales taxes and that theGST was higher in the UK than the US.^[44] Despite the high price, the console's PAL region launch was a resounding success, selling more than 185,000 units in the UK alone, selling out of all stock nation wide in the UK within 3 hours of launch, more than doubling the previous first-day sales record of 87,000 units set by the Nintendo DS.^[45] The system also enjoyed great success in other areas of the PAL region with more than 25,000 units preordered in Australia^[46] and nearly one million units sold across Europe in the first week.^[47]

Kwashiorkor Disease

Kwashiorkor is a virulent form of childhood malnutrition characterized by edema, irritability, anorexia, ulcerating dermatoses, and an enlarged liver with fatty infiltrates. The presence of edema caused by poor nutrition defines kwashiorkor.[1] The cause of kwashiorkor was thought to be due to insufficient protein consumption alone, however micronutrient and antioxidant deficiencies are now believed to play important roles.
Jamaican pediatrician Cicely D. Williams introduced the name into the medical community in her 1935 Lancet article.[2][3] The name is derived from the Ga language of coastal Ghana, translated literally "first-second"[citation needed], and reflecting the development of the condition in an older child who has been weaned from the breast when a younger sibling comes.[4] Breast milk contains proteins and amino acids vital to a child's growth. In at-risk populations, kwashiorkor may develop after a mother weans her child from breast milk and replaces the diet with foods high in starches and carbohydrates and deficient in protein

KSAH History

KSAH diasaskan pada Disember 1908 sebagai Government English School (GES) di sebuah bangunan berhampiran Balai Nobat, Alor Star. Pengetua pertamanya ialah Encik Mohamad Iskandar (bapa Yang Amat Berbahagia Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad). GES merupakan sekolah Inggeris pertama di Kedah. Pada tahun 1911, GES dipindahkan ke Jalan Penjara Lama (belakang IPD Kota Setar) dan sekali lagi dipindahkan ke Jalan Langgar (tapak yang ada sekarang) pada tahun 1917. Pada tahun 1935 nama GES telah ditukar menjadi Sultan Abdul Hamid College (SAHC).

Sejak penubuhannya, KSAH telah melalui rentetan sejarah perkembangan yang panjang. Banyak perubahan telah berlaku dari masa ke semasa. Bagi menampung bilangan pelajar yang semakin ramai, bilik darjah telah ditambah di kedua-dua ”wing” kiri dan kanan bangunan utama. Bangunan asrama (lelaki) dan sebuah bangunan perpustakaan (Stuart Library) telah didirikan pada tahun 1930. Kemudiannya sebuah dewan besar dan bangunan makmal sains dibina pada tahun 1939. Semasa Perang Dunia Kedua, sekolah terpaksa ditutup dan telaah dibuka semula pada tahun 1945. Pada tahun 1956, pentadbiran KSAH telah diasingkan kepada Kolej ”primary” dan Kolej ”secondary”. Sejak dari itu wujudlah sebuah sekolah rendah yang kemudiannya dikenali sebagai Sekolah Kebangsaan Iskandar yang terletak dalam tapak yang sama dengan KSAH.

KSAH terus berkembang maju selepas negara mencapai kemerdekaan. Pada tahun 1999, KSAH telah diberi pengiktirafan oleh Kerajaan Negeri sebagai Sekolah Premier Negeri. Pada tahun yang sama KSAH telah melaksanakan Projek Sekolah Bestari mengikut acuannya sendiri. Dengan sokongan Persatuan Bekas Pelajar KSAH (SAHOCA) dan Multimedia Development Corporation (MDEC) yang bertindak sebagai jururunding untuk tempoh empat tahun, projek tersebut telah menyaksikan perubahan yang ketara dari segi infrastruktur, proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran serta peningkatan ilmu, kemahiran dan penggunaan ICT di kalangan warga KSAH.

Sebagai institusi yang paling awal memberikan pendidikan formal dalam Bahasa Inggeris, sumbangan KSAH dalam melahirkan anak negeri yang terpelajar terutamanya dalam era sebelum negara mencapai kemerdekaan sangatlah bermakna khususnya terhadap pembangunan Negeri Kedah.

Antara bekas pelajar KSAH ialah Kebawah Duli Yang Maha Mulia Tuanku Al-Haj Sultan Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah Ibni Almarhum Sultan Badlishah, Sultan Negeri Kedah Darul Aman; Duli Yang Teramat Mulia Tuanku Haji Abdul Malik Ibni Almarhum Sultan Badlishah, Raja Muda Kedah Darul Aman; Yang Teramat Mulia Dato’ Seri Tunku Anuar Ibni Almarhum Sultan Badlishah, Tunku Bendahara Negeri Kedah Darul Aman dan Yang Teramat Mulia Dato’ Seri Tunku Sallehuddin Ibni Almarhum Sultan Badlishah, Tunku Temenggung Negeri Kedah Darul Aman.

Bersesuaian dengan moto untuk melahirkan ”Scholar, Sportsman, Gentleman”, KSAH telah berjaya melahirkan ramai tokoh dalam pelbagai bidang di peringkat kebangsaan dan antarabangsa. KSAH amat berbangga menjadi alma mater kepada YTM Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj, Perdana Menteri yang pertama (1957 - 1970) dan Yang Amat Berbahagia Tun Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad, Perdana Menteri keempat (1981 - 2003).

KSAH juga berjaya melahirkan lima orang Menteri Besar Kedah Darul Aman, tiga orang Menteri Kabinet, seorang Ketua Setiausaha Negara, lima orang Ketua Hakim Negara, seorang Yang DiPertua Dewan Rakyat dan Presiden PBB ke-51.

KSAH menyambut ulang tahun ke-100 pada tahun 2008. KSAH yakin akan mencetuskan lebih banyak perubahan yang bakal menyaksikan KSAH menjadi lebih cemerlang sebagai sebuah sekolah premier yang terkemuka dan terus unggul dengan slogan ”Menjunjung Warisan dan Wawasan”.

In ancient England, people could not have sex without consent from the King. When people wanted to have a child, they had to solicit a permission to the monarchy, in turn they would supply a plaque to hang on their door when they had sexual relations.
