AIR POLLUTANT INDEX (API). INDEX PENCEMARAN UDARA (IPU). N95 Mask. Topeng N95

What should I do?

Get N95 respirator mask. An N95 face mask is actually a type of respirator. A respirator is a mask made to protect your lungs not only against dust and pollen but fumes and other airborne particulates as well.

According to the Health Promotion Board,  haze particles are predominantly made up of fine particles that are 2.5 micrometers or smaller, and that N95 masks are efficient against fine particles that are about 0.1 – 0.3 microns.

“It protects at least 95 per cent of PM 2.5 (particulate matter 2.5), which causes the most harm during the haze,” Dr Lee Yeow Hian, a respiratory physician from Mount Elizabeth Novena, said in a phone interview with Yahoo! Singapore.

The N95 respirator mask also provides the tightest fit to the face and users can ensure this by adjusting its straps, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration website (FDA).

It should be used depending on “health status, PSI level, physical exertion and time spent outdoors”, according to a health advisory by the Ministry of Health (MOH).

Those with chronic respiratory, cardiac or other medical conditions that affect the respiratory system should consult a healthcare provider before using them as the mask can require more effort to breathe, according to FDA.

The respirators are not suitable for children as it does not provide a proper fit for them.

How can the haze affect unborn baby?
1. Pollutants inhaled by the mother can reach the womb through the umbilical cord.
2. Air pollution exposure before birth has been linked with lower IQ in childhood.
3. Exposure to smog before birth has been linked to low birth weight, premature births, stillbirths and infant deaths.
4. Mothers living in areas with high levels of ozone and carbon monoxide were three times more likely to have babies with cleft lips and palates, and heart valve defects.

The greatest risk occurs during the second month of pregnancy, when the foetus is developing facial structure and organs. Continue reading here

Jerubu. Nak buat apa?
Jika kabus jerebu sudah berada dalam kawasan perumahan kita dan ada bau asap apa yang perlu dilakukan?

1. Pastikan semua tingkap, pintu, sliding termasuklah ruang tingkap di ruang bilik air BERTUTUP RAPAT.
2. Tadah air paip dalam besen/baldi (separuh saja). Kemudian letakkan di tengah rumah. Kalau dalam bilik ada bau asap. Letakkan satu baldi dalam bilik. Kuasa alam iaitu air itu sendiri akan meneutralkan udara dalam rumah kita. Besar rumah banyakkan lagi air tadahan.
3. ON hawa dingin/kipas angin untuk kurangkan rasa bahang panas dalam rumah.
4. Banyakkan minum air masak atau minuman kesihatan/supplement  untuk diri sendiri dan anak-anak.
5. Guna penutup hidung dan mulut a.k.a mask jika ingin keluar dari rumah.

PARANOIDANDROID Battery

Some of you really concern about battery. Before installing any new custom ROM, the first question you will ask. How's the battery?

How about PA battery? I will show a few battery screens history of mine.




Getting better after a few cycles.... normal usage... fb, twitter, email, tapatalk, taking photo and browse internet. I don't play games :)


More than enough...
 No heavy drain over the night...


Note:
Battery life base on your usage and battery age. My advice. DON'T ASK! Just install and compare from your previous ROM. Everybody have diff phone usage.

If you ask gamers. Their battery might stand for 1-2 hours only.
If you ask youtubers. Their battery might stand 4-5 hours.
If you ask normal users. Their battery might stand 6-8 hours.
If you ask flashers. Their battery last forever :) hehehehehe.....

PARANOIDANDROID v3.60

After static for a few months using TW base Custom ROMs due to slow update by Samsung, I'm moving to PA or PARANOIDANDROID v3.60. It's Android 4.2.2 :)

Why PA?
1. It's FAST and reasonable battery life
2. Android 4.2.2
3. PIE
4. Multiple screen modes selection. Phone, Phablet and Tablet.

Enjoy the screens...
Version 3.60. 11 June 2013 released.

Select Advanced Settings
Disable the light... Menu and Back button will not light-up...

I'm using this... We have big screen... it would be nice :)
Customize Navigation Bar. Select Toolbars>Navigation Controls
Customize Navigation Bar...Re-arrange it. Now I have Menu|Recent Apps|Home|Back . iLike it... :)


Better performance...

Just nice battery life...

FAQ
- How can I get this awesome pie thing to work?
The "nav pie" is actually pretty easy to enable. It´s important that you set your device into expanded desktop mode! Press the power button and click on expanded desktop!
After that go to Settings-> Toolbars and enable "Pie controls" From now on you can swipe up from the button (or any place where you set it to be) to get the pie!
Choose gravity, size and style!

- How can I theme the pie?
Exactly like the nav bar! Go to Hybrid properties and apply individual colors for every app under "Apps" or for all in "Interface"/ global colours

- I can't find developer settings
To activate developer settings, open Settings > About Phone & start tapping the "Build Number" (at the bottom). You'll see a countdown and then a message "You are now a Developer". Go back into settings main list, right above the "About Phone" you'll have "Developer Options".
You need to tap "Build number" 4 times :)

- How can i get rid of the navigation bar?
To make the navigation bar disappear, go into hybrid properties & put "Navigation bar size" toggle to 0%

 Click there... Hope you find this...
