Retrieve Pictures from a bad external HDD

Bigblock — Thu, 28 Jan 2016 18:49:18 +0800

I believe my hard disc has bad sectors. Issue is that my pictures in it are very important (daughters baby pictures)
I use password and encrypted it so each time use same password to unlock password (comes with the HDD). Tried to fix it by scanning and Google much to no avail. Would want to seek advice. My issues are as per below

1. When I tried to copy my pictures folder 70GB, it would transfer and while it transfer in a few sec the bit transfer rate drops to 0 and flat lines.
2. Some of the pictures are not been able to preview
3. I have no other backup as I looked into this as my main backup when my primary HDD crashed
4. Tried to find same model and firmware as my HDD but hard to get as model had phased out

Details of my hdd

1. My HDD model
2. 1TB HDD purchased in 2012
3. Rarely used and well kept only used as backup medium

Thanks in advance guys! appreciate corrective helpful advices.

Civic 1.7ES, Persona

Bigblock — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 18:22:38 +0800

Good day LYNers

1. I would like to know more on this car as my cousin intends to get one. The common issue i heard is the gearbox issue as i went through team ES website. As his budged it around 65K which model is advisable? As there is a pre-face lift and a face lift model ranging from year 2003 - 2005 is preferred. Is it worth it to spend on a car that has run a mileage above 85,000 KM's.

2. Proton Persona is another choice but he is 40+ and he does not prefer a persona as i suggested with 65k to go for a brand new car.

Civic is a civic it offers better quality and this car he's buying he's is going to be kept for a max of 3 years + which is the better option? I rolled out the dugong as i think its a waste and waja replacement is on its way. I have checked mudah, motor trader and zth.

Would prefer mature replies guys. Thank you so much

MUET 2009 (Oct takers please view)

Bigblock — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 23:10:36 +0800

Hi guys! for those who are taking MUET this year privately, especially those sitting this month end, i'l need some input's for as i can't find the exact MUET reference (text book) for a last minute run through. Checked in MPH but many are out of stock.
My english satisfactory but i indeed need to brush up further as it involves speech and so forth.
Please step forward and contribute your related inputs on books and references or even MUET related topics.
Thanks in advance guys

UPDATE!! Some guidance taken from this thread contributed by good hearted lyners, this will be a good guide for the guys sitting for MUET in OCT

Anyway, more pointers for Speaking component.

1. Task 1 is to be presented to the examiner - so greet the examiner, maintain eye contact with him. dont just read from ur notes
2. Task 2
- One person starts the discussion by greeting the examiner n fellow candidates
- proceed to state own opinion (not neccesary to stick to ur choice in Task 1) - give one point only (not ALL, otherwise u will have nothing to contribute later)
- then either ask for opinion or let someone continue

U r discouraged from waiting to be prompted by others for ur opinion. This is a speaking test - a test of ur ability to speak. No contents = no marks

Of coz, even if u have flawless english but weak contents, u will be penalised.

3. Effective body language is very important here. Maintain eye contact with all candidates. Nod or smile in approval. Dont rock ur chair. Dont play with ur pencil or ur hair. Dont just stare at ur notes or write all the time.

4. Use a variety of language structures. If Candidate A has used 'in my opinion, u can use ' i think', 'i feel' etc. To disagree, u can say 'i'm sorry i beg to differ', i'm sorry i have to disagree with Candidate ?. If u see that a particular candidate is dominating the discussion, u can say 'i;m sorry, may i interrupt for a moment?' or 'may i say something here?'.

Dont ARGUE, dont use rude words like 'WHy CANNOT?' or 'NOOOO, i dont think so.'

5. At the end of the 10 mins, u r to come to a consensus. Only ONE choice. Worst comes to worst, combine 2 very relevent ones. If u have ur own fixed group members, this is easier to achieve coz u must have had a lot of practices in order to come to a natural conclusion. Do not at the last minute, just simply say 'ok, i agree.' Very fake...

6. FInally, another person ends the discussion. Eg: Based on our discussion, we have come to a conclusion that...or Thank you for a fruitful discussion. I can safely conclude that...DO this only if everyone in the group has agreed with only one answer.

How can I improve my essays??

Writing is marked upon Task Fulfilment (30marks) & Language (30marks).

So in order to have points to write, u need to be well read. At least, u shud read the newspapers daily. Extra credit will be given to international examples.

Then, employ a correct essay outline which basically looks like this :

Introduction - General statements / The hook - to grab readers' attention (various ways to write an attention-getter)
Thesis statement (your reply to the Q - main idea of the whole essay)

A typical ugly SPM way of writing intros will be like 'I agree with the statement ....bla bla bla' as the 1st sentence already.

Body Paragraph - Topic sentence (main idea for that particular paragraph)
Supporting details (explanation, elaboration, examples, studies/researches)

For 350 words, 4 body paragraphs shud suffice.

COnclusion - common method is restating ur thesis
suggestions/recommendations/predictions (can pose questions too)

If u follow this format correctly plus reasonably relevent/accurate points, u shud not be below Band 3. If u have reasonably good command of the language, u can go up to Band 4 or 5.
