The History of Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day, is a traditional North American holiday to give thanks at the conclusion of the harvest season. Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States and on the second Monday of October in Canada.

Thanksgiving meals are traditionally family events where certain kinds of food are served. As is evidenced by the tremendous level of travel, significant effort is made by family members to gather for the Thanksgiving celebration. Family participation is notably inclusive ranging from the very youngest to the most senior. First and foremost, turkey is the featured item in most Thanksgiving feasts (so much so that Thanksgiving is sometimes facetiously referred to as “Turkey Day”). Stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, corn, turnips, rolls, pecan pie, and pumpkin pie are commonly associated with Thanksgiving dinner. Often guests bring food items or help with cooking in the kitchen as part of a communal meal.

So I took this opportunity to wish my readers and friends here, a Happy Holiday on this Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it. To those who are not, I just wanna wish you a Happy Holiday. In Malaysia, Happy School Holidays. Are you planning to go on Holidays? Share it with me here

Yesterday I discussed with my daughter and she agreed on this blogging contest. She never being blogging before and yesterday I did told her that it is great to have a blog so that she could practice her English since English language is not our mother tongue.

So yesterday I told her a bit about wordpress and showed her what is blogging all about. Where to find interesting article to blog or an interesting video to blog and so on. So today she rang me up and ask me to review her first blog.  Of course I did help her to upload few photos that she would like to use in her blog and the rest are her own effort.

Not bad for a newbie in blogging world and a 14 year old kid. I told her just “showoff” Raihan Online blog to her friends and told them about the Blogging contest. Oppss! forgot to tell you it is for kids in Malaysia age 10 to 15 during this one and a half month school holidays in Malaysia.

The BEST BLOG shall be REWARDED…. IT IS A SURPRISE!

Facebook is a social networking website that allows people to communicate with their friends and exchange information. Launched on February 4, 2004, Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg, a former member of the Harvard class of 2006 and former Ardsley High School student. Initially the membership was restricted to students of Harvard College.

As of November 2007, the website had the largest number of registered users among college-focused sites with over 50 million active members worldwide and expects to pass 60 million users by the end of the year (also from non-collegiate networks). From September 2006 to September 2007 it increased its ranking from 60th to 7th most visited web site, and was the number one site for photos in the United States, ahead of public sites such as Flickr, with over 8.5 million photos uploaded daily.

This report was on 6 February 2007 and I feel it is great to share with you here.

Malaysia’s communications and multimedia industry - represented by telecommunications operators Telekom Malaysia, Maxis Communications, DiGi.com, and Time dotCom as well as postal operator Pos Malaysia and broadcasters ASTRO and Media Prima - was worth approximately M$26,800 million in 2005, up by 9.4% from M$24,500 million in 2004. In 2005, the communications and multimedia industry as a whole (including broadcasters, postal service providers, and value-added service providers) constituted 10.2% of Malaysia’s gross domestic product (GDP), up from 9.7% in the previous year.

Government-controlled incumbent fixed-line operator Telekom Malaysia continues to dominate the market, accounting for around 59% of total communications revenue, 88% of total fixed-line services revenues, and - via its Celcom subsidiary - 41% of total cellular telephony service revenues in 2005. In the fixed-line market, its major competitors are TIME dotCom and Maxis Communications. In the cellular sector, it squares off against Maxis Mobile and DiGi.com. Telekom Malaysia and Maxis each received third-generation (3G) universal mobile telecommunications service (UMTS) licences in 2003 and both companies began offering commercial services in 2005. DiGi.com did not pursue a 3G licence in 2003, but did submit a bid for one of two new licences auctioned in early-2006; however, it lost out to fixed-line operator TIME dotCom and pay-TV operator MITV. The new licensees will operate as mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs). It has been suggested that DiGi.com may buy TIME dotCom, but no formal takeover talks had been announced at the time of writing.
