Despite the proliferation of poverty studies, poverty in Brunei Darussalam (hereafter, Brunei) is under-researched. What poverty means in Brunei is, therefore, little understood, and there is a local belief that poverty in the country is unique and relative. Moreover, the terms ‘poverty’ (kemiskinan) and ‘poor’ (miskin) are somewhat sensitive in Brunei, but the reason(s) for this sentiment and preferred terms are not known. This study examines the language and meaning of poverty in Brunei. It also sheds light on the local belief about poverty within the country. The study used an exploratory research methodology and data were collected from poor and non-poor households and key informants. Results show that Bruneians use different terms to refer to poverty or poor people, but preferred terms are ‘living in need’, ‘difficult life’ and ‘needy people’. Bruneians avoid the terms ‘poverty’ and ‘poor’ because they can erode one’s self-confidence or self-esteem. Poverty in Brunei is construed in different ways, but it is mostly perceived as relative, and its nature is not unique.

People define happiness differently. We know that true happiness is the happiness of the heart. How can we find happiness after despair? Then now, how to build happiness?

In 1975, Viv Albertine was obsessed with music but it never occurred to her she could be in a band as she couldn't play an instrument and she'd never seen a girl play electric guitar.

A year later, she was the guitarist in the hugely influential all-girl band the Slits, who fearlessly took on the male-dominated music scene and became part of a movement that changed music.

A raw, thrilling story of life on the frontiers and a candid account of Viv's life post-punk - taking in a career in film, the pain of IVF, illness and divorce and the triumph of making music again - Clothes Music Boys is a remarkable memoir.

Michelle was a young single mother when she was kidnapped by a local school bus driver named Ariel Castro. For more than a decade afterward, she endured unimaginable torture at the hand of her abductor. In 2003 Amanda Berry joined her in captivity, followed by Gina DeJesus in 2004. Their escape on May 6, 2013, made headlines around the world. Barely out of her own tumultuous childhood, Michelle was estranged from her family and fighting for custody of her young son when she disappeared. Local police believed she had run away, so they removed her from the missing persons lists fifteen months after she vanished. Castro tormented her with these facts, reminding her that no one was looking for her, that the outside world had forgotten her. But Michelle would not be broken. In Finding Me, Michelle will reveal the heartbreaking details of her story, including the thoughts and prayers that helped her find courage to endure her unimaginable circumstances and now build a life worth living. By sharing both her past and her efforts to create a future, Michelle becomes a voice for the voiceless and a powerful symbol of hope for the thousands of children and young adults who go missing every year.

Chances are you wake up in the morning and give some thought about what you’re going to wear that day. Whether you’re headed to the office or weekend brunch, a lot more scrutiny than you realize goes into choosing your outfit. But are you giving that much consideration to how all your clothes landed in your closet? What kind of fabrics are they made with? Who sourced the materials? And who stitched them all together? Veteran fashion journalist Dana Thomas answers all those questions, and many more, in Fashionopolis: The Price of Fast Fashion and the Future of Clothes.

Some people are simply great at their job; they always seem to say or do the right thing. They are mentioned in every conversation. Everybody likes them. They get promoted. They get pay raises. They get along with the boss. And somehow, they do all these things without being unpleasant, breaking much of a sweat or seeming to put in excess effort. And when they are offered another step up the corporate ladder or a fabulous new job, no one is surprised. After all, they have 'potential' written all over them. How do they do it? Do they know some secret we don't? Yes, they know The Rules of Work.

Nama sebenar abu Jahal adalah Amr bin Hisyam Al Makkhzuniy. Abu Jahal bermaksud "Bapa Kebodohan", ini kerana beliau tidak dapat membezakan antara yang baik dan yang buruk serta antara yang zahir dan yang batil.

Permusuhannya yang amat keras terhadap kaum muslim membuat ramai kaum muslimin merasa takut dan berharap segera diizinkan untuk hijrah ke madinah. Beliau sentiasa menganiaya dan menyeksa kaum muslimin.

Abu Jahal termasuk golongan orang yang paling kejam dalam mengganggu Nabi Muhammad s.a.w dalam kalangan kaum musyrikin Quraisy.
