...bring new era in the development of world civilization and also the success nation leader that bring the glorious Islamic civilization during the next 1000 years and beside the fact above he also known as a successful businessman. Born as an orphan and did not inherit anything, that was the life of the Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. When other kids at his age are still playing, the Prophet was herding (watch over) goats. In fact, when he was still eight years old, he was very diligent in tending the goats. Because of the herding goat’s services he made, Prophet received wages from the owner of the livestock. Herding was acted by Prophet Muhammad S.A.W until the age of 12 years old. That was the age when for the first time he learned entrepreneurship (Afriza Hanifa, 2013). Rasulullah S.A.W took great interest in trade at a very early age and he was encouraged by his own uncle, Abu Thalib who took him along on trading missions to the surrounding countries . After Abdul Muttalib died, the Prophet has been grown up by his uncle, Abu Talib. Since the Prophet Muhammad still young, he helped his uncle herding goats because according to sirah Abu Talib already had many child. Thus the Prophet Muhammad want to make his life more comfortable . When the Prophet Muhammad was about 12 years old, he followed his uncle doing a trade in Syam (now called Damsyik in Syria). Abu Talib taught him the way to become a good entrepreneur. The Prophet Muhammad learnt the hardness on how to make a money but...

...MARKET EFFICIENCY AND THE PERSISTENCE OF UNIT TRUST PERFORMANCE IN MALAYSIA CHAPTER 1 1.1 Introduction According to M.Rhodes, Research paper no. 2002 -2006, their offerings on the price many choose to highlight their past performance, implicitly as an indicator of future returns. The existence of persistence in performance is indicative of market Inefficiencies which some, but not all, fund managers are able to exploit. In an extension to the current literature the paper tests the proposition that changes to infrastructure, insomuch as they might affect market efficiency, affect the persistence of performance. Evidence is also presented on whether excess returns are the result of better skill or information for some managers or the existence of a momentum effect in stock returns. When picking a fund an investor faces a bewildering yet important choice from amongst several hundred product offerings and there is a considerable degree of price dispersion. Studies of Malaysia funds have relied on the assumption that conditions determining market efficiency, or the ability of fund managers to exploit inefficiencies, do not change significantly during the period examined. According to this research paper (2002-6), the unit trust industry in Malaysia can be considered relatively young. The first unit trust, Malaysia Investment Fund was launched in Dec. 2, 1966 by Asia Unit Trusts Be&ad. However, the industry can be expected to take off in the years ahead in light of recent...

...both domesticated and feral varieties. The dog was the first domesticated animal[4] and has been the most widely kept working, hunting, and pet animal in human history. The word "dog" can also refer to the male of a canine species,[5] as opposed to the word "bitch" which refers to the female of the species. MtDNA evidence shows an evolutionary split between the modern dog's lineage and the modern wolf's lineage around 100,000 years ago but, as of 2013, the oldest fossil specimens genetically linked to the modern dog's lineage date to approximately 33,000–36,000 years ago.[4][6] Dogs' value to early human hunter-gatherers led to them quickly becoming ubiquitous across world cultures. Dogs perform many roles for people, such as hunting, herding, pulling loads, protection, assisting police and military, companionship, and, more recently, aiding handicapped individuals. This impact on human society has given them the nickname "man's best friend" in the Western world. In some cultures, however, dogs are also a source of meat.[7][8] In 2001, there were estimated to be 400 million dogs in the world.[9] Most breeds of dogs are at most a few hundred years old, having been artificially selected for particular morphologies and behaviors by people for specific functional roles. Through this selective breeding, the dog has developed into hundreds of varied breeds, and shows more behavioral and morphological variation than any other land mammal.[10] For example, height measured to the withers...
