Reflections on UIR Practical 2

Organization: http://www.nygr.org.sg/index.html

The NYGR has played an instrumental role in monitoring and steering the implementation of many new measures related to the problem of juvenile delinquency. The NYGR continues to address the various problems and issues that face youth and determine appropriate measures with the support of the community to control and eliminate youth crime.

Personal: http://www.nodrugs.com/

A personal website set up by Youth Fellowship & Rescue, A Christian Youth Group for parents, educators, teen groups, and law enforcement to educate youth on the risks of drug abuse. It shows video clips about real consequences of drugs abuse, with advice to parents.

Subject-based: http://www.drugabusestatistics.samhsa.gov/dependence.htm

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has established a clear vision for its work -- a life in the community for everyone. To realize this vision, the Agency has sharply focused its mission on building resilience and facilitating recovery for people with or at risk for mental or substance use disorders. SAMHSA is gearing all of its resources -- programs, policies and grants -- toward that outcome. It includes reports on drug abuse & dependence.

To start off with this activity, I try using search engines like yahoo, google and even wikipedia to find out information on the research toipic on "Impact of drugs abuse on youths". The result in yahoo and google came out with too many results, so i decided to shorten my keyword for better results. They include 'youth drug abuse' and 'drug abuse'. The research progress then smoothen because of lessing website and more specific topics.

Organisational website is the collection of www pages maintained by organisation. The website contains extensive materials on the impact of drug abuse on youths

For personal website, it is usually maintained by an individual. The topic relates to his/her interest, includes reading and video. These materials are all related to the information and issues i want to find out.

Subject-base website has a particular subject focus, in this case drugs abuse. There is normally overlap between these and the organizational sites or the personal sites. Some subjects are more easily found than others. However, it's not always the case.

All about myself

Hi all, a big welcome to my blog. I am Gary from Diploma in Logistics Operations and Managment, currently in Year 2. UIR is my last cds and i hope it will as fun as the all the cds i have taken.

A little about myself? Well, I am actually from a family of four, with a elder brother that is now serving his National Service. I may look younger than some, but in fact i am older than one can tell. why? it's a secret :))

My hobbies are actually anything that is fun, exciting and adventurous. I love to do all sort of sports actually. Sometimes I wish I can master them all. I guess the sports i am better at will be basketball (though i am not very tall), table tennis (which i master by myself hehe). However ever since I entered polytechinic I haven't been playing them lately. The skills are getting rusty afterall. pooling is another of my favorite. I often hang out with my secondary friends for pool even though we may be in different polytechnics and diploma. Movies is one of my favourites too! Personally i prefer thriller, violence, and horror compared to romance. Alright...

The 2 websites I will visit everyday would actually be http://www.cathay.com.sg/ where I will get infomation about what movies is on. I would look into the website to check out the movie plot and to see if it's interesting. The website also allow online booking, which makes life even more convenient.

Another one would actually be http://www.uwants.com/. A forum set up by hong kong. This is one of the best and popular forum in hong kong. With it, I can get all sorts of news, manga, discussion, music. Simply anything you can think off! It's a must to visit everyday!!
