French 'suicide'

A state prosecutor in Marseilles, France has ruled the death of
politician a suicide, despite the fact that the man was shot five
times. Authorities are sticking to their theory that Andre Isolde shot
himself in the wrist, stomach, groin, and throat, before finally
aiming at his head...

RA3 Q&A question

During one of the Red Alert 3 Q&A sessions, the following was asked:


Will the aircraft have pilots like in C&C Generals, because that was one of the best features of Generals, to promote other units with downed pilots? –nightpish




The team's response:


No, aircraft units are self-contained and don’t have individual pilots. Red Alert 3 pilots are brave, and don’t resort to cowardly acts like ejecting out of their burning aircraft.




Brave, or suicidal?

Wojtek

Seeing as Wikipedia has no copyright but has copyleft instead, here is an interesting story!

Wojtek (1942-1963; ['vɔjtɛk]) usually spelt Voytek in Britain, was a Syrian Brown Bear cub adopted by soldiers of the 22 Kompania Zaopatrywania Artylerii (22nd. Artillery Supply Company) of the Polish II Corps. During the Battle of Monte Cassino, Wojtek helped to move ammunition.

In 1942 a local boy found a bear-cub near Hamadan in Persia (Iran). He sold it to the soldiers of the Polish Army stationed nearby for a couple of canned meat tins. As the bear was less than a year old, it initially had problems swallowing and was fed with condensed milk from an emptied vodka bottle. The bear became quite an attraction for soldiers and civilians alike, and soon became an unofficial mascot of all units stationed nearby. Because of that, it was officially drafted into the Polish Army and was listed among the soldiers of the 22nd Artillery Supply Company of the Polish II Corps. Together with it he moved to Iraq and then through Syria, Palestine and Egypt to southern Italy.

The bear was fed with fruits, marmalade, honey and syrup, and was often rewarded with beer, which became his favourite drink. He also enjoyed eating cigarettes. As one of the officially enlisted "soldiers" of the company, he was sleeping with the other men in their tents or in a special wooden crate transported on lorries. According to numerous accounts, during the Battle of Monte Cassino Wojtek helped his patrons by transporting ammunition - and never dropped any crate. In recognition of the bear's popularity the HQ approved an effigy of a bear holding an artillery shell as the official emblem of the 22nd Company (by then renamed to 22nd Transport Company).

Following the end of World War II in 1945, the bear (along with parts of the II Corps) was transported to Berwickshire in Scotland. Stationed in the village of Hutton, near Duns, Wojtek soon became popular among local civilians and the press. The Polish-Scottish Association made Wojtek one of its honorary members. Following the demobilization, on November 15, 1947, Wojtek was given to the Edinburgh Zoo. There Wojtek spent the rest of his days, often visited by journalists and former Polish soldiers, some of whom would toss him cigarettes. Wojtek died in December of 1963, at the age of 22. At the time of his death he weighed nearly 500 pounds (250 kilograms) and had a length of over 6 feet (180 centimetres).

The media attention contributed to Wojtek's popularity. He was a frequent guest of BBC's Blue Peter program. Among memorial plaques commemorating the bear-soldier are a stone tablet in the Edinburgh Zoo, plaques in the Imperial War Museum and the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa, as well as a monument in Sikorski's Museum in London. There are proposals to erect a memorial in Edinburgh. It is said that Prince Charles, when visiting the Imperial War Museum with his sons, remarked to the guide that there was no need to tell the story of Wojtek since all three of them knew it well.

At Tanah Merah station, SOMEONE tried to get the group to all stick our hands out and flag down the incoming train. In the end, she ended up getting one participant for a total of two people:

By William McChesney

I want my breakfast served at eight,

With ham and eggs upon the plate;

A well-broiled steak I'll eat at one,

And dine again when day is done.



I want an ultramodern home

And in each room a telephone;

Soft carpets, too, upon the floors,

And pretty drapes to grace the doors.



A cozy place of lovely things,

Like easy chairs with inner springs,

And then I'll get a small TV--

Of course, "I'm careful what I see."



I want my wardrobe, too, to be

Of neatest, finest quality,

With latest style in suit and vest:

Why should not Christians have the best?



But then the Master I can hear

In no uncertain voice, so clear:

"I bid you come and follow Me,

The lowly Man of Galilee."



If he be God, and died for me,

No sacrifice too great can be

For me, a mortal man, to make;

I'll do it all for Jesus' sake.



Yes, I will tread the path He trod,

No other way to please my God;

So, henceforth, this my choice shall be,

My choice for all eternity.

Aliens

So now, the Vatican approves believing in aliens, because apparently, by not believing in aliens, we are placing limits on God's creativity.

Jay is gay(but I'm sure you already knew that), Ash is as reckless as Ash(Satoshi), Madame President got stressed out, as did some other com members, which led to people getting pissed off. Campers......were at some times high and at other times sianz. I mean, coming in at the end of a night walk thru school sian? Not some, but almost all??? Anyway, at debrief we figured out the problems, so that's not too bad. Well, except that Camp Commandant Ken needed more manpower but decided to assign me......nothing? I spent the whole night walk time in our bunk doing nothing, and he complains of lack of manpower. Not my fault. I wanted in on the night walk, but...... *shrugz*

Chelsea will take on a Malaysian Selection, an all-star team of the best players from the Malaysian Super League, in a match currently scheduled for July 29 in Kuala Lumpur.

Olympic Boycott?

Agence France-Presse - 3/26/2008 2:39 AM GMT

France's Sarkozy raises prospect of Olympic boycott



French President Nicolas Sarkozy left open Tuesday the possibility of boycotting the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony over China's crackdown in Tibet, though other major world leaders vowed to attend.

The White House said that US President George W. Bush still planned to be present for the August 8 opening of the Olympics, and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown's office said he would be there for the closing ceremony on August 24.

But Sarkozy spoke out amid growing political calls for stronger action against the deadly crackdown on anti-Chinese protests in Tibet.

Even countries opposing any boycott have urged China to show restraint handling the demonstrations. Tibet's government in exile said 140 people have been killed in the unrest over the past two weeks, while China says there have been 20 deaths.

Sarkozy, who arrives in Britain for a two-day visit later on Wednesday, said "all options are open" regarding a boycott. He appealed to the "sense of responsibility" of China's leaders over the unrest.

The president's aides specified that France was still considering the possibility of snubbing the opening ceremony, but ruled out boycotting the entire Games.

Alain Bernard, the new French swimming star who set three world records at the European championships, backed a protest of the opening ceremony. "It would send a strong signal to the politicians," he told TF1 television.

It was also announced that the Dalai Lama, the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, would visit France during the Olympics.

Other countries remained firmly against any boycott.

"The last I checked with the president, no, our position remains that we believe that the purpose of the Olympics is to let international athletes come together and showcase their talents," said White House spokeswoman Dana Perino.

US State Department spokesman Sean McCormack made similar comments, saying, "I'll reiterate our view, and that is that the Olympics is an important international sporting event."

Another US political leader, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, rejected the boycott calls.

"I am not in favour of a boycott of the Olympic Games. The Olympic Games are a sporting event," she told reporters in Barcelona, the Europa Press news agency reported.

In Britain, which will host the 2012 Olympics, Downing Street said Prime Minister Brown was still planning to attend the Beijing closing ceremony.

Other politicians called for mass demonstrations when the Olympic torch passes through London on April 6, and British Foreign Secretary David Miliband said the country would allow Tibet protestors to stage a demonstration when the Olympic torch passes through London.

But Miliband argued for moderation over Tibet, saying "the danger is that people give up on that (peaceful) course and turn to a more violent course of action."

Australia, Germany and Japan have ruled out boycotting the Olympics while urging the Chinese authorities to show restraint. Germany's government said China and the Dalai Lama should reach a peaceful resolution to the crisis.

After protests marred the lighting of the Olympic torch in Greece on Monday, Australian Foreign Minister Stephen Smith promised safe passage for the torch relay when it comes to Canberra on April 24.

"If people want to peacefully protest about the torch or the Olympics or Tibet, that is what Australian society or New Zealand society is all about, but they should do that in a sensible and peaceful way," Smith said.

Japan rejected calls for a boycott, but Foreign Minister Masahiko Komura said: "For China's own sake, it is best to be as open and transparent as possible" handling protests.

Other countries, including Italy, Poland, Spain and Switzerland have said they have no plans to boycott any part of the Olympics.

China meanwhile condemned protests surrounding the torch relay around the world, after three members of the French-based Reporters Sans Frontieres (Reports Without Borders - RSF) disrupted the lighting of the torch ceremony at Ancient Olympia on Monday.

One unfurled a banner demanding a boycott of the Games and another tried to grab the microphone from the chief Chinese Games organiser as he gave a speech.

Two Nobel peace prize winners weighed in Tuesday. South African anti-apartheid hero Desmond Tutu called for China to engage with the Dalai Lama, saying the spiritual leader defined "non-violence and compassion and goodness."

Costa Rica President Oscar Arias, who won the 1987 Nobel peace prize for his efforts to bring peace to Central America and is a friend of the Dalai Lama, said he was against a boycott of the Games. He said "dialogue between civilised people" was needed.

Meanwhile Cuba's government, which has important trade links with China, said it was "strongly opposed to any intention to interfere in China's internal affairs."

And Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said that unrest in Tibet was part of a US plan aimed at boycotting the Olympics.

"The violence in Tibet is the product of a plan of aggression of the United States against China, and in short term, try to boycott the Olympic Games," Chavez said at a meeting of foreign correspondents in Caracas.

"Venezuela supports with passion the celebration of these games," he said.

Well, based on my tagboard, the number of readers here is very very low and can probably be counted on one hand. I shan't bother with the links section as of now. Maybe next time, if I feel like it, or if someone asks for it.



Now on to school matters. My timetable for the next semester states that on every even week's Wednesday, meaning the Wednesdays of week 2, week 4, and so on, of school, I have classes from 10am to 5pm with no breaks in between. At all. None. Zero. What are we expected to do, bring packed lunches into lecture?

But wait! The first hour is a tutorial, and the rest are all practicals! That means packed lunches would not work, either! Any suggestions?

28 things most girls don't know

This got into my inbox thanks to T.C.H.


Message: Guys hate sluts even though
they
have sex with them!
(oh yeah..you're not 'popular' if
you've slept with more than 6
guys..you're a HOE)

--Guys may be flirting around all day
but before they go to sleep, they
always think about the girl they truly
care about.

--Guys go crazy over a girl's smile.

--Guys will do anything just to get
you to notice him

--Guys hate it when you talk about
your ex-boyfriend or ex love-interest.

--Boyfriends need to be reassured
often that they're still loved.

--Don't talk about your guy friends to
your boyfriend.

--Guys get jealous easily.

--Guys are more emotional than they'd
like people to think.

--Giving a guy a hanging message
like 'You know
what?!..uh...nevermind..' would make
him jump to a conclusion that is far
from what you are thinking. And he'll
assume he did something wrong and
he'll obsess about it trying to figure
it out.

--Guys are good flatterers when
courting but they usually stammer when
they talk to a girl they really like.

--A usual act that proves that the guy
likes you is when he teases you.

--Guys love you more than you love
them if they are serious in your
relationships.

--Guys think WAY too much. One small
thing a girl does, even if she doesn't
notice it can make the guy think about
it for hours, trying to figure out
what it meant.

--Guys seek for advice from girls not
other guys. Because most guys think
alike, so if one guy's confused, then
we're all confused.

--When a guy asks you to leave him
alone, he's just actually
saying, 'Please come and listen to me.'

--If a guy starts to talk seriously,
listen to him. It doesn't happen that
often, so when it does, you know
something's up.

--If your best guy friend seems to
avoid you or is never around when
you're with your boyfriend, he's
probably jealous and likes you.

--When a guy tells you that you are
beautiful, don't say you aren't. It
makes them want to stop telling you
because they don't want you to
disagree with them.

--When a guy looks at you for longer
than a second, he's definitely
thinking something.

--Guys don't like girls who punch
harder than they do.

--A guy has more problems than you can
see with your naked eyes.

--Don't be a snob. Guys can be
intimidated and give up easily.

--Guys talk about girls more than
girls talk about guys.

--Guys hate rejection, but they hate
being led on even more.

--If you are going to reject a guy,
just do it. Don't say they are like a
brother or just good friends, it just
hurts even more. Tell them that you
aren't interested in a relationship
and they will respect you.

--Guys really think that girls are
strange and have unpredictable
decisions and are MADLY confusing but
somehow are drawn even more to them.

--When a guy sacrifices his sleep and
health just to be with you, he really
likes you and wants to be with you as
much as possible.

RE: Physicists Successfully Store and Retrieve Nothing

Kai Yi has some problems understanding this article.


Basically, what it says is that scientists have found a way to store 'nothing', meaning vacuum. Read the article. Please. If you don't get it, then read my interpretation of the article.


The example on light shows that when light is travelling through gas and suddenly stopped, it gets imprinted on the atoms. When you let it move again, there is no more print. Same for the vacuum.


Ok. An easier explanation. Compare it to your computer. Everytime you move your mouse or type there are zeros and ones being created and erased. When you save, it creates an imprint of that particular set of information. The only difference is that when you load a saved file on your computer, the original saved file is still there. When you do that for the vacuum, or for light, the original 'file' is gone.


Now you understand?

Free Tv?

LONDON - Nearly half of British men surveyed would give up sex for six months in return for a 50-inch plasma TV, a survey — perhaps unsurprisingly carried out for a firm selling televisions — said on Friday.

Electrical retailer Comet surveyed 2,000 Britons, asking them what they would give up for a large television, one of the latest consumer “must-haves.”

The firm found 47 percent of men would give up sex for half a year, compared to just over a third of women.

A quarter of people said they would give up smoking, with roughly the same proportion willing to give up chocolate.

Football legend Maradona sorry for 1986 'Hand of God' goal

Argentina football legend Diego Maradona apologised in an interview Thursday for his infamous "Hand of God" goal in the 1986 World Cup quarter-finals that cost England a shot at the trophy.

Speaking to The Sun tabloid, Maradona, who scored both goals in the 2-1 victory over England more than 20 years ago, said that if he could go back in time and "change history", he would.

Maradona's first goal in the quarter-final match in Mexico was deemed by the match referee to be a legitimate header past England goalkeeper Peter Shilton but replays confirmed he had illegally punched the ball in with his hand.

The controversy surrounding that incident has, in England at least, long overshadowed Maradona's superb solo second goal, which saw him dribble past five England players before shooting past Shilton.

He told The Sun, speaking through a translator: "If I could apologise and go back and change history I would. But the goal is still a goal. Argentina became world champions and I was the best player in the world."

"I cannot change history. All I can do now is move on."

England's anger at Maradona's handball was further inflamed when, immediately after the match, he said his opening goal was the work of the "hand of God" and the mood of English fans wasn't helped by the fact that Argentina went on to win the World Cup that year, defeating the then West Germany 3-2 in the final.

Maradona, who suffered from a well-chronicled drug problem, also took a swipe at fellow footballing legend Pele, saying that if he had never taken cocaine, "there would be no debate about who was the best footballer the world had ever seen ... Everyone would say me."

"If I had never touched cocaine, I would have been three times as good a player," he added.

In a wide-ranging interview, Maradona said that he was looking for footballing jobs in England, but noted that no firm discussions had taken place with any clubs.

He also criticised former England national team captain David Beckham, whom he described as "just a good player, nothing more ... he's not a great player -- he doesn't belong to the superior group of players."

"There are hundreds of Beckhams playing football all over the world."

Seems like Dr. Koh mistook one column for another. No wonder there were so many strange postings. Well, he says he'll redo it and let us know tomorrow.

The Emperor says:

"Choose someone as a successor and you will inevitably be succeeded.
Choose someone hungrier and you will be devoured.
Choose someone quicker and you won't dodge the blade at your back.
Choose someone with more patience and you won't block the blade at your throat.
Choose someone more devious and you'll hold the blade that kills you.
Choose someone more clever and you'll never know your end.
Despite these cautions, an apprentice is essential. A Master without an apprentice is a Master of nothing."

Yr 3 nonsense

Well, my class splits next Sem onwards. That's not too bad, I guess. What's bad is Dr. Koh didn't receive my form saying which Industrial Attachment Programme(IAP) I preferred. I just re-sent it, and I hope he can allocate me to one I prefer. Then again......


For the 3rd-yr project management module, he put me at my 8th choice out of 9. WTF?

FIFA08

Last Sat, went for some I&E event, to play FIFA 2008 on PS2. $5 per entry, only 8 ppl went, and their prize money is all the entry fees, so they don't profit at all...... Ha......

To qualify, be the top 2 in your group of 4! Must stick with your team the whole tournament. My results:

Group Stage
Suwon Bluewings - AC Milan 0 - 3
Suwon Bluewings - Real Madrid 2 - 0
Suwon Bluewings - Arsenal 0 - 0

QUALIFIED!!!!!!!!!!!

Semi-Finals
Suwon Bluewings - Manchester United 0 - 3


Well, it would have been 0 - 2 at worst if I played properly after the first goal...... After that match, the remaining guys and one of their buddies who didn't qualify took the $40 and split it amongst the 4 of them. Match fixing?!?!?




Oh yeah, if you don't already have a Kongregate account, go get one and start collecting badges!

To Be Loved

PAPA ROACH LYRICS

To Be Loved


Listen up, turn it up and rock it out
party on, I wanna hear you scream and shout
this is real, as real as it gets
I came to get down to get some fucking respect
taking it back to the hardcore level
you better be ready, put your pedal to the metal
taking it back to the hardcore level
you better be ready, put your pedal to the metal.

Go!

Whoa I'll never give in
Whoa I'll never give up
Whoa I'll never give in
And I just wanna be, wanna be loved
Whoa I'll never give in
Whoa I'll never give up
Whoa I'll never give in
And I just wanna be, wanna be loved

I want domination
I want your submission
I see you're not resisting
To this temptation
I've got one confession
A love deprivation
I've got a jet black heart
It's all fucked up and it's falling apart

Whoa I'll never give in
Whoa I'll never give up
Whoa I'll never give in
And I just wanna be, wanna be loved
Whoa I'll never give in
Whoa I'll never give up
Whoa I'll never give in
And I just wanna be, wanna be loved

I've got another confession
I fell to temptation
And there is no question
There was some connection
I've got to follow my heart
No matter how far
I've gotta roll the dice
Never look back and never think twice

Whoa I'll never give in
Whoa I'll never give up
Whoa I'll never give in
And I just wanna be, wanna be loved
Whoa I'll never give in
Whoa I'll never give up
Whoa I'll never give in
And I just wanna be, wanna be loved

Take your past and burn it up and let it go
Carry on; I'm stronger than you'll ever know
That's the deal; you get no respect
You're gonna get yours
You better watch your fucking neck

Take your past and burn it up and let it go
Carry on; I'm stronger than you'll ever know
That's the deal; you get no respect
You're gonna get yours
You better watch your fucking neck

Whoa I'll never give in
Whoa I'll never give up
Whoa I'll never give in
And I just wanna be, wanna be loved
Whoa I'll never give in
Whoa I'll never give up
Whoa I'll never give in
And I just wanna be, wanna be loved

WHOA!

OMG! Chow Lin Meow is one of the four judges for the International Intervarsity Debate 2007!

The debate is between schools from around the world, and is entirely in Chinese. Thank the Force there are English subtitles. The judges are from around the world too. All have titles like Professor of ABC University or Head of Language at XYZ University and such. Lao Zhao's title is Educator, Singapore. LOL!

Yeah, for the non-CHS ppl, my Secondary 1 and 2 Higher Chinese was taught by him. He used to be Head of Department for Chinese at Catholic High.

I'm not kidding about the previous post. If it wasn't for CoH......

Dreaming

In the past, my goal was to be a GP. Set up shop in the neighbourhood and treat simple illnesses. Then, in Sec school, I leaned more towards surgery. Now, with both options closed, I wanna be a paramedic. Is it possible? Sure. Just waste the Diploma, huh? Guess so.



No, I won't. You don't always get what you want, but for me, I almost NEVER get what I want.

ARRRRRRRMY!

Thursdays. Once every two weeks, there is no class on Thursday. The next time it happens will be tomorrow! Unfortunately, there is work to be done. Projects and reports to be completed. -_-

Conjunctivitis (con·junc·ti·vi·tis) (commonly called "Pink Eye" or bloodshot eyes in the USA, "Red Eye" in the UK, and "Madras Eye" in India, is an inflammation of the conjunctiva (the outermost layer of the eye and the inner surface of the eyelids), most commonly due to an allergic reaction or an infection (usually bacterial or viral).


Some forms of conjunctivitis are extremely contagious while others are not. It all depends on the cause.


Infection (redness) of the conjunctiva on one or both eyes should be apparent, but may be quite mild. Except in obvious pyogenic or toxic/chemical conjunctivitis, a slit lamp (biomicroscope) is needed to have any confidence in the diagnosis.


Conjunctivitis symptoms and signs are relatively non-specific. Even after biomicrosopy, laboratory tests are often necessary if proof of aetiology is needed.

A purulent discharge strongly suggests bacterial cause, unless there is known exposure to toxins. Infection with Neisseria gonorrhoeae should be suspected if the discharge is particularly thick and copious.

A diffuse, less "injected" conjunctivitis (looking pink rather than red) suggests a viral cause, especially if numerous follicles are present on the lower tarsal conjunctiva on biomicroscopy.

Scarring of the tarsal conjunctiva suggests trachoma, especially if seen in endemic areas, if the scarring is linear (von Arlt's line), or if there is also corneal vascularisation.

Clinical tests for lagophthalmos, dry eye (Schirmer test) and unstable tear film may help distinguish the various types of dry eye.

Other symptoms including pain, blurring of vision and photophobia should not be prominent in conjunctivitis. Fluctuating blurring is common, due to tearing and mucoid discharge. Mild photophobia is common. However, if any of these symptoms are prominent, it is important to exclude other diseases such as glaucoma, uveitis, keratitis and even meningitis or caroticocavernous fistula.



Many people who have conjunctivitis have trouble opening their eyes in the morning because of the dried mucus on their eyelids. There is often excess mucus over the eye after sleeping for a long period of time.


Conjunctivitis sometimes requires medical attention. The appropriate treatment depends on the cause of the problem. For the allergic type, cool water constricts capillaries, and artificial tears sometimes relieve discomfort in mild cases. In more severe cases, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications and antihistamines may be prescribed. Some patients with persistent allergic conjunctivitis may also require topical steroid drops.

Bacterial conjunctivitis is usually treated with antibiotic eye drops or ointments that cover a broad range of bacteria (chloramphenicol or fusidic acid used in UK). However evidence suggests that this does not affect symptom severity and gains only modest reduction in duration from an average of 4.8 days (untreated controls) to 3.3 days for those given immediate antibiotics. Deferring antibiotics yields almost the same duration as those immediately starting treatment with 3.9 days duration, but with half the two-week clinic reattendance rate.[1]

Although there is no cure for viral conjunctivitis, symptomatic relief may be achieved with cool compresses and artificial tears. For the worst cases, topical corticosteroid drops may be prescribed to reduce the discomfort from inflammation. However prolonged usage of corticosteroid drops increases the risk of side effects. Antibiotic drops may also be used for treatment of complementary infections. Patients are often advised to avoid touching their eyes or sharing towels and washcloths. Viral conjunctivitis usually resolves within 3 weeks. However in worst cases it may take over a month.

Conjunctivitis due to burns, toxic and chemical require careful wash-out with saline, especially beneath the lids, and may require topical steroids. The more acute chemical injuries are medical emergencies, particularly alkali burns, which can lead to severe scarring, and intraocular damage. Fortunately, such injuries are uncommon.





To sum it all up, I got diagnosed with conjunctivitis and got prescribed eyedrops. That was two days ago. Still on medication now.

Language

The Malaysian Ministry in charge of Islamic Affairs has banned a Catholic newspaper for using the word 'Allah'. According to the ministry, the words 'Allah'(God), 'Solat'(prayer), 'Kaabah'(The holiest Islamic shrine located in Mecca), and 'Baitullah'(House of God) can only be used by Muslims. Hmm... How come the regular newspapers can publish these words, huh? Oh, and apparently, the Sikhs use the word 'Allah' in their prayers. Religious rioting in Malaysia if the Sikhs get banned from using the word? Maybe.

Ok. A totally strange beginning this shall be.
