Shoddy journalism #4

-

(Emphasis is mine, to show the mistakes)

1. Malaymail article "GEG: The end of social justice? — Farhan Amran". Sentence "If the Ministry of Health Malaysia, allowed the ‘guidelines’ to resolve the issue of tobacco use in the country in these ways alone, the main issues and effects of these issues would not be resolved.", "Good rules and controls should take precedence and this statement is supported by members who understand the key issues that should be resolved, banning, or supporting?", "According to him, although banning the sale and purchase of cigarettes to those born after 2007 is good, there must be a clear mechanism for chronic smokers to recover and recover.", "Trust in the commitment of today’s government to do things that are just, and fair is highly respected and lifted." 

(I can't...don't even know where to start to correct these sentences. Please call 999.)

2. Malaymail article "Loke says DAP will decide on action against Sabah leaders for accepting ‘Datuk’ titles". Sentence "The DAP central executive committee will determine the appropriate action to take against two Sabah leaders who accepted titles today in breach of party police, said Anthony Loke."

3. Malaymail article "As Malaysians fuss over its local rice price, agroecological researchers say a bigger crisis is brewing". Sentence "She noted that at the end of the day, while the government seeks to regulate the prices of imported rice, Malaysia should be turned into a “dumping ground” and neglect its own locally grown crop." 

(I think the word "not" is missing.)

4. Malaymail article "In ‘safe’ Pelangai, BN set for uphill battle to win convincingly". Sentence "“The support of Felda settlements there is still fairy satisfactory, but BN needs to work harder to get a larger support,” he said."

I ask a church member who works in the business. For print, they go through multiple reviews. For online, because they can update it later, they don't bother with reviews.

Wiliam,
Some of these articles were published weeks ago and yet the errors were still there.

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 1)

-
Here are the character builds for my current run (with the help of Ban): Kyrie Fellblade/Marked Counter: Slow Secondary passives: Execute, Life Font Fellblade itself is a good class because of the various conditions it can inflict and most importantly they can inflict Sleep. Iirc, the only other human class that can do this is Gadgeteer. Their passive Malice increases the chance of landing it by 10%. Fellblade pairs well with Marked because both use ATK and MND in their offensive abilities. Also, Fellblade's abilities are mostly short range whereas Marked has some long range abilities. Execute for more damage. Life Font is for suvivability. Ban opined that with two healers, there's no need for Life Font but I discover that it enables Kyrie to survive just enough for a healer to heal her up, after having received massive damage. Ban advocated for Marked/Fellblade for superior Speed (1.00 vs 0.92) and defense (heavy armor). I resisted this for a long time because I

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 2)

(continue from Part 1 ) Yates Anatomist/Wizard Counter: Cripple Secondary passives: Blessed One, Smart Casting Anatomist is the best healer in game due to the passive Legendary Healer, which also then boost the amount of self-healing by Blessed One. Although Ban thinks Anatomist's Dark spells are sufficient in dealing damage and so he suggests Alchemyst as Yate's secondary class, I choose Wizard for the following reasons: Quite often, demonic creatures have Dark immunity and other creatures have immunity to other elements. So having Dark, Water, Fire, Earth and Thunder spells enable Yates to cast the most suitable spell, especially when the enemies are vulnerable to certain elements. Flexible casting :) Smart Casting is useful so that I don't need to worry much about the positioning of the enemies relative to my other characters when using Mass Healing and the area effect damage spells. As stated in previous post , there "are so many devastating Skill ba

Strange expectorant

An expectorant cough syrup helps you to prevent phlegem from going to your lungs by expelling it via coughing or so I heard from doctors and pharmacists. That's why for cough that's caused by phlegm, it is not advisable to take suppressant cough syrup. Given that's the role, do you expect it to be drowsy? It should be non-drowsy so that you will be actively coughing out the phlegm, right? Not this Unizet expectorant. The doctor told me that it shouldn't be drowsy and yet some of his patients (including me) reported otherwise. I read the detailed information (on the piece of paper typically stuffed inside the box) and nowhere it indicated drowsiness as a side effect. Strange, huh?
