Hi Jim. Is your YouTube feed on mute? You can check this by hovering your mouse over the feed and checking the audio icon in the bottom right corner next to the pause button.
Sorry, bottom left corner. It may also be a browser issue. Which browser are you using? We recommend Chrome.
OK, it is working now. I kept losing my video, too, but now it seems to be stable.
Grace Kim
When developing communications materials for toolkits, does HC3 create proprietary materials or is there an opportunity to collaborate with/adapt other neutral campaign materials (e.g., Africa United's behavior change communications posters with famous footballers from W. Africa)?
Barbara Stilwell
I'd be interested to know what kind of evaluations have been done/are being done to show impact of all these initiatives? What metrics are being used?
How can organizations and individuals interested in coordinated response efforts connect and work together?
Jacqueline Edwards
This is Jacqueline, from Medic Mobile. Another example of designing for future use in this project is that we had originally planned to have data collection and child registration focused at the Interim Care Centers that Child Fund had set up for the response. As these were closing down because there were not enough children to keep them full (a great thing!), we realized that it was beneficial to have this data collection based in the community with child welfare advocates, to better capture the information.
Thank you for the opportunity given on this topic ,it has become very big problem for the West African Leaders
and have killed hundred of our relatives, brothers ,friends etc,ect bringing very big problem for us.
VINCENT MARK ABEDI
Because of poverty in most African counties and high illiteracy among communities there has been a very hectic problem on volunteesim
Please take a moment to fill out the assessment for today's webinar- we would love to hear your feedback! Here is the link: http://bit.ly/ebolawebinarsurvey
In Ghana no cases has so far been collected the Ministry of Health,Ghana Health Services are doing good work but there is still more to be done so i will try all best to group youth for action and will need logistics to work with like the communication materials.

Below is today's column in the Sunday Washington Post. The column addresses how the continued rollbacks on civil liberties in the United States conflicts with the view of the country as the land of the free. If we are going to adopt Chinese legal principles, we should at least have the integrity to adopt one Chinese proverb: "The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their right names." We seem as a country to be in denial as to the implications of these laws and policies. Whether we are viewed as a free country with authoritarian inclinations or an authoritarian nation with free aspirations (or some other hybrid definition), we are clearly not what we once were. [Update: in addition to the column below, a later column in the Washington Post explores more closely the loss of free speech rights in the West].
The site loading pace is incredible. It seems that you're doing any unique trick.
I believe "The Home of the Brave is next to go.
Some people/business within the same jurisdiction who are not effected by the tariffs, because it's an export tax, benefit from the lower prices.
Mr. Bret – However to the detriment of the producers. An export tax (tariff) seldom benefits all concerned, someone must lose in the exchange and some must benefit and it is almost never the majority. When the Republicans took power in 1860 the first agenda was to raise tariff on the prominent agricultural produces of the south some by as much as 200% and it was done to benefit northern manufacturers. It was the single most prominent issue that caused the Southern States to secede.
Incredible points. Solid reduxil points. Maintain the great effort.
This amazing post reduxil is worth everyone's attention.
How can I read more?
One of the primary reasons democracy doesn't work is too many people vote for what is in their own self interests rather than what is in the best interest of the majority. It is not like the silent hand of the free market. If one group can vote for privileges from the majority, than the majority is harmed and the group is benefited. Thinking that this will equalizer the entire system, as the silent hand of the majority does is illogical. Of course the monied class may not win every battle but it does win the war, as they have to most money to effect the outcome of the political process; exactly what the Princeton Study concludes.
Every single enacted social policy has contraindications and this is what differentiates socialism from capitalism. the more social policies that are placed into force and effect; that meaning enforcement, the greater the overall negative ramifications/contraindications the policies have on the majority.
Take a tariff; a tax on exported goods. The producer of those goods is the first to feel the negative effects of the tariff, as it keeps their prices down as the foreign consumers have to pay more money for the products, harming them as well. In return, the foreign market will retaliate with tariffs of their own to offset the higher prices they are paying which drives up to the price of those products to consumers who they export to; what is called "fair" trade. It's not fair, it harms the consumers on both sides.
Some people/business within the same jurisdiction who are not effected by the tariffs, because it's an export tax, benefit from the lower prices. This is major component of what the Civil War was really about, as during the 1860's, tariffs on southern goods were raised by the Republican Party of Lincoln as much as 200%. It just happened to be the manufacturers in the north, the very entities that helped to get the tariffs enacted in the first place that benefited the most. The southern farmers could no longer get the prices they were getting by exporting to England and the rest the world so they were forced to sell to northern manufacturers at lower prices. It a slick way of proving corporate welfare to special interests and sadly what most legislation is really about.
In 1992 when I ran for the State House, we had legalized Casino Gambling on the Ballot that year. When checking the campaign contributions by the "opposition", low and behold it was the local pari-mutuels, off shore gaming interests such as Carnival Cruise Lines, the Miami Dolphins, Miami Marlins and other forms of entertainment that provided the lions share of the money.
I suggest that just about every piece of legislation enacted, benefits special interest to the detriment of the majority.
The next generation will not view war crimes as wrong or evil.
It appears that most often times in war, the losers are prosecuted by the winners, despite war crimes being committed by both sides. The stories from Vietnam era were full of events in which unsuspected civilians became enemy combatants. When people from either side are under the treat of force, their judgment can mean life or death. I have just read about how during the Civil War that the North arrested their own people, including their own politicians and newspaper owners who went up against Lincoln and the Republicans. Lincoln suspended Habeas Corpus and put people including much of the Maryland Legislature in prison for years. He even put out an arrest warrant, although never effected, for a US Justice who had ruled against his executive order on the subject. It appears Lincoln should have been prosecuted for not only war crimes but abrogating the Constitution and staging an insurrection, had he not met his fate in another manner. It had always been clear that States had a right to secede. One can't imagine how as a State, that once enters into an agreement of cooperation amongst a union that they can not disassociate themselves with that union, if it fails to act in the best interest of the States involved. All contracts would be void, if one could use a gun to insure it's continued participation by the other.
You understand thus considerably relating to this topic, produced me personally consider it from so many numerous angles.
it is something to accomplish with Girl gaga! Your own stuffs excellent.
We are sending a message to our children that this is civilized behavior and consistent with our values. The next generation will not view war crimes as wrong or evil.
understands what they are talking about on the web. You actually understand how to bring an issue to light and make it important.
This is really nice to read that of about property tax.

Endless Summer Camp – Moments with Lace Shaw of Stripmall
Name -Lace Shaw
Hometown – Calgary Alberta, Canada
Current band–Stripmall
Favourite place for takeout – anywhere mayonnaise is involved.
Tom Tom Magazine covered Sled Island Festival in Calgary, Alberta Canada last summer. This is the fifth of several featured drummers from that festival.
Tom Tom Magazine : In your own words; write a brief description of your band
Lace: Stripmall is my endless summer camp. We write music about our world. Geneva, Martine and Rob are my friends. We come from the biggest small town city. We grew up with western influences but yet we are surrounded by the oil and gas industry and conservative ideology. It's a strange place to grow up centered by capitalism and yet underneath all that is still a small town feeling, full of heart.
When/ how did your interest in drumming begin?
I started dancing when I was young; rhythm was just something I've never not understood I guess. When I was 9 my parents signed my brother and I up for cadets. I saw a lone drummer playing while 100 kids marched to the beat and decided I wanted to be that guy. I stopped drumming when I left cadets, but 10 years ago I was working with a few female musicians at a bar and I told them I played drums. I didn't specify what type and then they asked me to play.
Have you ever taken lessons?
The cadet program offered music instruction to anyone who wanted to join the band. It meant giving up my Sunday morning cartoons but it also gave me something that made me different from my brothers and sisters (4 of us). At 9 years old that was really powerful.
Lace Shaw of Stripmall ( Sled Island Festival – Calgary Alberta )
What was the first song you learned to play on drums?
To be honest I don't really remember. I was more excited about the drum line patterns than the songs. But it was probably some military song of some sort.
Tell us about the first show you played in front of an audience as a drummer
I think in marching band settings I was always in front of people. In my first band though I remember being quite nervous because I didn't feel confident. I knew what I was doing, it sounded good but I was super aware of my self taught style. I have grown to love that most about my drumming now.
Can you write music/ lyrics ?
I write rhythms but not sheet music or lyrics
Do you play other instruments or sing ?
I've been slowly teaching myself some piano and I really want to dive into that more as life slows down. Not very well, I used to scream some back up vocals but it was as just so exhausting to do while playing.
Where do you practice / how often ?
It changes a lot but at the moment I jam 2x a week. Summer was very busy playing shows almost every weekend and touring. I keep my muscles strong by doing rudiment exercises at least once a week on my own outside of jam.
Describe your gear
I'll play anything, I haven't really cultivated a huge understanding of gear specifics. I go mostly by what I like the sound of. I have Mapex pro M shells with Evans heads. I really only like Paiste cymbals. I have a 22 inch ride cause I love the wompyness of it. I recently got a Yamaha direct drive pedal and I love it. As a dancer it is important my body feels connected to what I'm doing and getting rid of the chain pedal really helped me feel more connected.
A dancer ? Tell us more about that.
I grew up doing Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Highland and Irish dancing. I competed in all disciplines and loved to dance. I still do dance and I find part of my process for writing songs comes from the way I feel like moving.
Thoughts on musicians endorsing brands . Would you like to eventually sponsor a brand as a drummer?
I never really thought about sponsorship in music but I guess like anything of course it exists. I like adding different heads and cymbals depending on the sound I'm trying to get, so I think having to stick to a specific brand of cymbal or heads would be difficult for me personally. I think it's great to share your preferences with other musicians and I don't see anything wrong with endorsing equipment you really enjoy. Saving a few bucks never hurts.
Do you have musical idols?
Coming from a childhood spent in cadets, bagpipe bands and dancing I really didn't have a lot of time to investigate music or pop culture. I'd say my peers are my idols. Local musician Warren Oostlander of No Problem is one of my favorite drummers. He is so supportive; so I guess he is probably my biggest music idol.I really appreciated meeting Andrew from Mean Jeans who again is so talented and fun to watch. The drummer from NuSense and Woolworm both really blow my hair back.
Who are the bands that inspire your band's sound?
Dead Moon, Gun Club and Midwest punk.
What have you taken away from playing live?
So much. I live for playing live. I like creating energy and excitement with my friends for people to enjoy. Connecting with my band mates on stage is so awesome. It's like the best hug which is awesome when times in life are great and better when times aren't so great.
What would be a " dream bill " for you ? Who would you want to play with ?
Trixi Mattel – she's an amazing drag queen who plays country music and just personally, that would be a dream come true to share a stage with her. I always love playing shows with my friends bands; it's like a big party and everyone is super supportive and having fun. Festivals are great too; playing to people who don't know who you are is always pretty exciting cause it's a chance to surprise and excite people.
What does pre show preparation involve?
Mostly just about getting my body ready, drinking enough water is key for me to be able to get through the show.
In the interests of mobility and keeping cool ,what are the best/ most practical clothes for drumming?
Believe it or not I love playing in a dress. I don't like having my movement restricted in anyway.
Are you exhausted after a show?
No way, I'm so energized after a show. My body is totally spent but I feel so happy and usually very sweaty.
What's the most unusual/funny thing to ever happen to you at a gig?
I'm lazy about gear so I always just share if I can. At this one show at Tubby Dog with my previous band Shematomas, the snare stand wouldn't lock and the feet like flipped up like a tulip somehow, so I was basically playing a snare on top of a stick. I had to hold my snare between my legs. I had 2 massive leg bruises from my hands hitting my legs the whole time. We only had 20 mins to play so I couldn't stop and fix so I just had to deal. It's a good exercise to struggle and survive sometimes.
I've also fallen backwards off the stage before and got back up so fast the band didn't stop. When they couldn't hear me and turned around, I was already climbing back up to keep playing. I had cut my the back of my head (not badly). I didn't notice , but after the set was over I had splattered blood all over my drums and the back of the the singers shirt. I guess that was a pretty wild moment on my journey.
Do you have an aggressive style in your drumming ? (do you hit hard ? )
It is the number one comment I get from other drummers and spectators. I'm 5'2" 125lbs but I feel like a giant when I play.
What appeals to you about a magazine like Tom Tom?
I think it's really important to share our stories. I think it's really important for others to hear that you don't have to start as a child or take classical lessons your whole life to play music. There is so much more to music than just technique. Passion, perseverance, and courage are really good muscles to exercise often. Tom Tom has created a platform to share with others who may not have visual access to female percussionists. Some kids may not think they could become a drummer because maybe they have never seen anyone like them do it, although that's maybe less now with the internet etc.
What's in the future for you musically?
My old band Shematomas is reuniting for an amazing fest in Calgary called Femme Wave and I am really excited to be back in the jam space with some amazing women. Stripmall is an incredible music project with my best friends. All of them inspire me and I love to be around passionate artists. We have begun writing our second album and are developing our style and sound. We hope to tour Japan, Australia and Europe in the future . I plan to start a few small projects with people I enjoy spending time with. I think I will always be making music with friends for the rest of my life.
What has been the biggest change in your life since lifting up the sticks?
I realize I need space to be creative, away from my day to day life. It's a challenge sometimes juggling my two businesses while maintaining a healthy relationship with my partner who is so supportive and still carving out time to practice and play shows.I guess overall the confidence I get from playing music has probably affected all areas of my life in a positive way.
Do you have advice for young women starting out in music?
Nothing happens overnight and nobody is going to come find you. You have to get out there and make things happen. Do not be afraid!! This world full of people who will support you but you have to take the first step and then just keep stepping . Your music will always have a place because it is art, but art is subjective. Not everyone is going to love what you do but many will and that's what matters.We need people like you.
What are your thoughts on streaming music and its effect on bands?
Streaming….. In a way it removes the financial barriers allowing more people to explore and access music they couldn't just a few years ago if it wasn't at their local record store. I think it's difficult to know how it impacts musicians and other bands on a broader scale but I hope the pay off for everyone is more exposure and opportunity.
How would you describe the local scene for bands like yours?
I am lucky to live in a city like Calgary. Sure a lot of amazing musicians and artists leave to join focus cities and the culture in our Calgary ebbs and flows, but I think creating art in a city that some might say is lacking in "scene" is so important . Art culture is bigger in other cities. Most artists don't have the financial luxury of leaving. Its out of this oppression that underground culture is created. Calgary is a privileged city and we are lucky enough to have amazing arts programs to develop talented people. I love the people in our scene; the ones who stay and keep pushing to create culture. That's what punk is to me.
What are your interests away from drumming?
Wow, loaded question. I have so many passions and interests. I am constantly curious and always adventuring. I love surfing, dancing, bike packing, growing vegetables, inventing and creating things, talking to people, listening to people, pottery, language, travel, and science. I'm obsessed with history and can usually be found spending my TV time watching documentaries on subjects others would find incredibly boring. I guess overall I am a bit of a "nerd".
Stripmall ( Sled Island Festival Calgary Alberta )
What is in your own musical collection?
I listen to a lot of Jazz and Old Country music at the moment but I also really like new wave and electronic stuff. Bands on rotation right now are Molly Nilsson, First Hate, Diät, Choir Boy, Waylon Jennings, Blaze Foley mixed with some Errol Garner and John Coltrane. Really just depends what I'm doing, but most of my listening time is on long bike rides or walks, when I'm cleaning the kitchen or making food.
What would we find on the walls of your room ?
A painting Geneva the singer in Stripmall painted of my partner and I. I also have another painting she did of my late pet hedgehog Poe. I have lots of photos and never enough plants.
Everything I do in life I do with my whole heart. I have honoured all my opportunities in life and created an amazing dental clinic in Calgary called Citizen Dental Hygiene. We focus on education and creating accessibility for everyone in our community. Being a musician/waitress for most of my early adult life I was on the other side… no insurance, no access, and no understanding. I hope to change that for as many people as I can. I guess my dreams of being a rock star might have led me led me here but my passion for change is what keeps me going.
At the end of the day; when all is said and done …you play the drums because …..?
I play drums because it is the only time in my life where nothing else is on my mind. Everything goes quiet and I just disappear into the music and nobody can change that. Its my safe space.
Any last thoughts ?
Thank you so much for noticing me.. Thank you Tom Tom Magazine and John for making me feel seen. I hope my story empowers others to step out of their comfort zone and challenge themselves to make music, even if they haven't classically trained since they were young or had professional lessons. Even if you don't have lessons or money to buy a kit, drumsticks, or a practice pad, passion will be enough to get started.
Lessons just direct passion but passion is what creates the best music.

Since 2005, family wellness through effective and gentle NUCCA care has been the focus of our chiropractic practice. Mighty Oak Chiropractic is dedicated to working with St Paul community members of every age, from babies and children to active adults and those in their golden years. We also welcome those in need of our precise, customized adjustment style from areas outside the Twin Cities. Many of our patients travel more than two hours one-way to receive what we're known for: long-lasting and efficient spinal correction.
Our practice philosophy is simple: to help people live better lives through NUCCA chiropractic. NUCCA stands for "National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association". This examination and adjustment style is a state-of-the-art innovation in the art of spinal adjusting. There are approximately 250 chiropractors in the world today that are proficient in this cutting-edge approach, and Dr. Rodd has over 20 years of experience in its delivery.
NUCCA care is completely customized. Each spine is different; each approach is unique to you.
For measurable accuracy, we take 3-dimensional X-rays of your cervical spine (the neck region). These X-rays are the blueprint to the source of your problem. It takes us about 30 minutes to complete a full analysis of your X-rays to determine your customized approach. This attention to detail benefits our patients in many unexpected ways.
Once you've received your first highly precise adjustment, X-rays are again taken to measure the effectiveness of the correction.
Because the gentle adjustment is so personalized to your unique misalignment pattern, you may maintain your spinal correction for a lengthy time. Therefore, the correction results in cost-effectiveness. This welcome affordability is because frequent adjustment is rarely required through our systematic approach.
Our practice name is based on this proverb: "Mighty oaks from tiny acorns grow." This saying appealed to us, as we know that acorns and people both have the internal make-up to develop into a full life potential. Both need air, water, sun, nutrients and no interference in the developmental process to reach a state of full realization.
A young mother brought her 8-month old daughter in to see us. This baby was not sleeping more than 45 minutes at a time. The parents were exhausted, irritable and at their wits end. After her very first adjustment, this infant was taken home and slept for a solid 12 hours. She never went back to her old pattern.

EAST LANSING, Mich. — Michigan State saw one of the best NBA drafts in school history last week, when Jaren Jackson Jr. and Miles Bridges were both picked in the draft lottery.
Back in East Lansing, the Spartans will now be moving on without them.
The 2018-19 Spartans have been taking shape behind closed doors at the Breslin Center over the last few weeks, as incoming freshmen join the team and veterans return to campus for summer classes.
In a series of post-draft radio interviews, Spartans coach Tom Izzo gave some of his first assessments of his new team.
"We've got some depth, but I think the main part is going to come from those veterans who have been playing," Izzo said on 96.1-FM in Grand Rapids. "We're finally going to have some juniors now and even a senior or two."
Izzo highlighted the return of three junior starters in Cassius Winston, Joshua Langford and Nick Ward. That trio now has 210 combined games of college experience with 152 total starts between them. In the gym this summer, Izzo has seen what a difference that experience makes.
"The difference for Nick and Cash and Josh starting as freshmen kind of and now starting to be juniors, it makes a big difference," Izzo said on 92.1-FM in Lansing. "I watch Cassius now and it's just a different player at a different speed, there's a different calmness to him. He's having a heck of a spring."
Matt McQuaid is also expected to join the starting lineup as a senior this fall, and Izzo had high praise for senior forward Kenny Goins and his improved shooting ability.
Joining that veteran group will be a five-member freshmen class. That group has now been on campus for nearly a month going through workouts.
Izzo said he isn't sure if any of those five will be able to crack the starting line up as freshmen, but did give a name he thinks most likely to be in the Spartans' playing group: wing Aaron Henry.
Henry is the second-lowest rated of the Spartans' five recruits and was the last among the group to receive a scholarship offer and to commit.
But Izzo said Henry arrived on campus the most ready to contribute, measuring at 6-6, 215 pounds upon his arrival.
"I'd say if there's someone that's going to be in that seven, eight-man rotation right away, I would say it's Aaron Henry because he's physically and mentally maybe the best and the most ready to step in, but there's still a lot of time between now and November," Izzo said.
That group has big shoes to fill with two departed lottery picks and three other departed seniors, but Izzo hopes the combination of freshmen and experience can help offset those losses.
"I think this team has a chance to be very good despite those losses," Izzo said.

ST. VINCENT'S HOSPITAL MANHATTAN AND CHINESE MEDICAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION COLLABORATE TO PROVIDE ACUPUNCTURE TO REHABILITATION PATIENTS
- Acupuncture Fellowship Program Provides Integrative Healthcare Model
Combining Western Medicine and Acupuncture -
St. Vincent's Hospital Manhattan announced today that patients under the care of a physician in St. Vincent's Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, whether in the hospital or through ambulatory care, will now have the opportunity to receive acupuncture as an integral part of the care plan.
Over two years in development, this unique program was created in collaboration with the Chinese Medical Science Foundation (CMSF) and the joint efforts of St. Vincent's Rehabilitation Department and the hospital's Mind/Body/Spirit Program. The program will allow free access for patients to acupuncture treatment while studying the issues involved in its full integration within the clinical, administrative and cultural environment of a Western medical care facility.
The Acupuncture Fellowship Program (AFP) reflects St. Vincent's support of new patient care initiatives to maximize patient care and satisfaction. The AFP is expected to provide approximately 1,500 treatments, all at no or low cost to the patients themselves or to St. Vincent's Hospital Manhattan. This program is financially sponsored by CMSF and St. Vincent's Hospital Manhattan. "This program provides a model that is critical to the future of the way medicine is practiced," said Linda Rapuano, director of the Mind/Body/Spirit Program at St. Vincent's. "We will closely follow acupuncture's contributions to the overall recovery and well being of our rehab patients."
This innovative program employs the talents of five experienced, licensed acupuncture Fellows under the supervision of Dr. Julian Sosner, Medical Director of St. Vincent's Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Dr. Ning Ma, Founder and Chair of CMSF and his colleague, Dr. Ying An. According to Dr. Ning Ma, "The Acupuncture Fellowship Program is a groundbreaking initiative that benefits each of the parties—patients, hospitals, and acupuncturists. We believe our partnership with St. Vincent's could develop a model for the future integrative medicine." In addition to his responsibilities at CMSF, Dr. Ma serves as a professor at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in New York City. In the past, he has also contributed to student education as the Department Chair of Clinical Practice for over five years. "The Acupuncture Fellowship Program continues St. Vincent's Rehabilitation Department's dedication to introducing measures that improve not only the quality of patient care but also the patient's experience of that care," said Dr. Julian Sosner, Medical Director of St. Vincent's Department of Rehabilitation Medicine. "We look forward to observing how patients respond to this unique form of treatment."
The Acupuncture Fellowship Program functions under strict medical guidelines following established protocols for treatments and documenting patient evaluation and progress notes into each patient's record. This program provides a basis for CMSF's research to document acupuncture's clinical impact on specific diagnostic categories, its cost-effectiveness and its effect on patient satisfaction. "St. Vincent's is excited to be offering a new treatment option to its rehab patients," said Len Walsh, executive director of St. Vincent's Hospital Manhattan. "We hope that the addition of acupuncture to our interdisciplinary rehab team will create a program that will further optimize
patient care."
CMSF's collaboration with the Department of Rehabilitation at St. Vincent's Hospital represents a pilot project to produce a program that is viable for departments throughout the hospital to treat pain, increase mobility and relieve symptoms of chronic illness.
About Chinese Medical Science Foundation
The Chinese Medical Science Foundation (CMSF) was founded in 2004 by Dr. Ning Ma and is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) corporation registered in New York. CMSF's mission is to integrate acupuncture within the Western medical system thereby bringing acupuncture into mainstream medicine.

What are the advantages of secondary education in Singapore?
rosie Jul 21, 2022 0 Comments
As a Commonwealth of Nations, Singapore continues the British education system. Junior high schools in Singapore are divided into four-year and five-year systems (express classes and regular classes), while the senior high schools are two-year systems.
Singapore's education system is flexible. During primary school and junior high school, students can come to Singapore for English and course training, which lasts about three to six months, and then take the transfer exam or take the placement test with Singaporeans. There are two kinds of examinations for students studying in junior high schools, they are admitted to the ordinary class or the express class. The ordinary class is a five-year system, and the "N" level test is required in the fourth year of secondary school. Those who pass the test enter the fifth year of study and prepare for "O" level. In the fourth year of the Express Class exam, you can directly prepare for the "O" level exam. Those who pass the two exams can enroll in Singapore Polytechnic, Singapore Junior College (high school), private university (university promotion) or enroll in vocational schools in other countries.
The advantages of Singapore secondary schools
Government schools
Entry requirements for secondary schools in Singapore
The cost of studying in Singapore secondary schools
Government schools in Singapore have strong teachers, high education levels, and low tuition fees. The academic level of Singapore government schools is relatively high, especially the government public junior colleges, whose courses are highly academic and lay a good foundation for students to enter world-renowned universities.
The IB courses offered by international schools in Singapore are ranked the highest in the Asian region. In addition, international schools generally have relatively large campuses, and have a good environment and a large teacher ratio.
Singapore has a large number of private schools, with low entry barriers and flexible academic systems. For students whose grades do not yet meet the entry standards for public junior colleges, private schools' 'A' level courses are a good option.
Notes: The Singapore-Cambridge A-level (A-level) exam is jointly organized by the Ministry of Education of Singapore and the International Examination Committee of Cambridge University. It is currently the qualification test for the admission of five government universities in the Singapore and is held once a year. Candidates can also use the results obtained to apply for admission to well-known universities in the UK, Australia and other countries.
Students take the Singapore International Student Entrance Examination, that is, the Singapore AEIS or S-AEIS examination, and transfer into the first to third grades of the Singapore government secondary schools with the test scores. International students cannot apply for Grades 4 and 5 of Singapore government secondary schools and need to take the Singapore "O" Level Examination.
Students with a score of 20 or less in English and the other five subjects can choose to enter the junior college for high school courses.
Notes: 'O' level test scores are deducted points, the lower the score, the better.
The tuition fees for government secondary schools are around S$20,000 per year. The middle school education lasts 4 years. After the completion of the middle school course, students need to take the Singapore Cambridge Ordinary Level Examination ('O' level), then enter the junior college, polytechnic and other advanced studies. The cost of international schools and private schools is relatively high, about 30,000 Singapore dollars per year.

Towson stands in solidarity; TU community remembers Christchurch victims
By Amanda Murayama, Contributing Writer
Photo by Brendan Felch/ The Towerlight
Members of the Towson University community gathered for a candlelight vigil at Speakers Circle Friday afternoon to mourn the loss of the victims of the Christchurch massacre in New Zealand.
The Christchurch mosque massacre on March 15 involved two consecutive terrorist attacks that began at the al Noor Mosque and ended at the Linwood Islamic Center. The attack killed 50 people and injured 50 others in their place of worship and for their community.
According to his manifesto, the perpetrators goal of the attacks aimed to spread anti-Islamic and anti-immigrant sentiment throughout the world.
Since the Christchurch attack, Islamophobic crimes in the United Kingdom have increased by 600%, a California mosque was set ablaze, and a mosque in Columbia, Maryland received and online threat that they might be next, demonstrating the impact of the shooting.
Rabbi Mendy Rivkin of Chabad-Lubavitch in Towson mentioned when he spoke with Sana Kirmani, Muslim Chaplain and Advisor to Muslim Students, he said that his students are scared.
"It sounds ridiculous I know it does," Rivkin said. "When you tell somebody I'm scared to walk outside because I don't know how people are going to treat me. You say this is America 2019 what does that mean? Until you pick up a newspaper and you read some of the things that can happen."
Speakers at the vigil explained the importance of unifying after a tragedy like this and coming together with love to eliminate hate.
"The SGA of Towson stands beside the Muslim Student Association and all people of the Islamic faith in solidarity as they mourn the event that took place in Christchurch New Zealand," said Jordan Lean, SGA Director of Diversity and Inclusion. "This event is another reason why people of all faiths, all races, all ethnicities, gender identities, sexual identities and more should stand together to denounce such hatred."
Aysha Ameen, Secretary of the Muslim Student Association, emphasized the need for collective action to break down systematic supremacy in order to prevent future tragedies from occurring.
"The tragedy in New Zealand is not new, and we cannot think that it will not happen again because the systems and ideologies which allowed for this act of terror are still in existence," Ameen said. "Thoughts and prayers are not enough. We need to take collective action."
Towson University President Kim Schatzel shared her condolences to the victims and their families.
"Our community, the Towson University community, has worked tirelessly to achieve a more diverse and inclusive campus that supports and rejoices in each and every Towson University community member and supports them to thrive regardless of their race, their religion, their ethnicity, their gender identity, their sexual identity, or their level of able-ness," Schatzel said.
As students are grieving, Vice President of Student Affairs Deb Moriarty expressed that Towson University is here to support students.
"My heart hearts for those of you who are on campus who are hurting as a result of this," Moriarty said. "Know that we are here to hold you close to hold you up and to support you as you work through your own grief and our job is to make sure that you feel safe on our campus."
President of the Muslim Student Association Romesa Mustafa, expressed gratitude for the university in facilitating an environment where students can feel safe.
"I am a Muslim student,, and over here at Towson I do feel safe because of all of you guys," Mustafa said. "So I want to say the effort that you guys make in protecting us and keeping us safe, it has not gone to a waste."

KAGHAN: Lulusar is a group of mountain peaks and a lake in the Kaghan Valley, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan it is one of the largest lakes of Pakistan. In Pashtu language, the word 'sar' means 'top' or 'peak'.
The lake which is 48 kilometers away from Naran on the Naran-Babusar road. It will interest our history enthusiast that Lulusar marks the proud place where 55 participants of the 1857 War of Independence were arrested.
The lake is surrounded by snowcapped mountains, making it a natural tourist attraction. In summers, when the surface reflects its surroundings sharply like a mirror, large number of domestic and foreign visitors makes it a popular destination.
Lalusar Lake is the main source of the Kunhar River, which flows through the entire Kaghan Valley through Jalkhand, Naran Valley, Kaghan, Jared, Paras and Balakot until it joins the Jhelum River.
The best way to to reach the lake is to hire a jeep from the Naran Valley which can take you there in approximately 3 hours. The road has been built around the lake which links the Naran/Basel to Chilas. The same road also leads to Babusar Pass.
It is yet another beautiful tourist magnet in the area which has been properly marketed; neither nationally nor internationally.

Antique maps by Denis Diderot
Denis Diderot's Encyclopedie is one of the landmark's of modern thought. Completed in 1772, it represented the single greatest democratization of knowledge and is without question one of the most important printed works of all time. As part of his Encyclopedie, Diderot undertook a study of the cartography of Western America, the Northwest Coast of America and the Northeast Coast of Asia, consolidating the numerous and disparate reports and maps of a number of different mapmakers and explorers of the period and providing a work of tremendous interest for its presentation as work of comparative cartography at a time when it was far from certain which of the competing theories was most accurate. His maps tackle the difficult questions faced by mapmakers of the era how to reconcile the information obtained from French, Russian, Spanish, English, Japanese and ancient sources, including unproven geographical features such as the Northwest Passage and Bay of the West.
The series of maps includes the now famous study of the 5 different representations of the mapping of California. Perhaps most fascinating is that while Diderot was assiduously condensing the known cartographic content of the region, Captain James Cook was in the process of undertaking the voyages which would completely re-write the cartography of the region covered by Diderot's maps. Prepared by the famous French map maker Didier Robert de Vaugondy, the maps provide a fascinating snapshot of perhaps the greatest cartographic debate of the second half of the 18th Century.
Diderot's 10 maps provide a fascinating historical review of the cartography of André Le Breton, a bookseller and printer, initially approached Diderot with a project to translate Ephraim Chambers' Cyclopaedia, or Universal Dictionary of Arts and Sciences into French. During the translation, Diderot envisioned a grander project. He persuaded Le Breton to help sponsor a new work, which would collect all the active writers, ideas, and knowledge that were moving the cultivated class of the Republic of Letters, but which was not well disseminated. Le Breton agreed and Jean le Rond d'Alembert was recruited to collaborate on the work.
In 1750, an elaborate prospectus announced the project and in 1751 the first volume was published. This work was very unorthodox and had many forward thinking ideas for the time. Diderot stated within this work, "An encyclopedia ought to make good the failure to execute such a project hitherto, and should encompass not only the fields already covered by the academies, but each and every branch of human knowledge." Upon encompassing every branch of knowledge this will give, "the power to change men's common way of thinking." This idea was profound and intriguing, as it was one of the first works during the Enlightenment. Diderot wanted to give all people the ability to further their knowledge and, in a sense, allow every person to have any knowledge they sought of the world.
Diderot's Encyclopedie sought to bring together all knowledge of the time and condense such information for all to use, using not only the expertise of scholars and Academies in their respective fields but that of the common man in their proficiencies in their trades. These people would amalgamate and work under a society to perform such a project. They would work alone in order to shed societal conformities, and build a multitude of information on a desired subject with varying view points, methods, or philosophies. All people would benefit from these insights into different subjects as a means of betterment; bettering society as a whole and individuals alike.
Diderot's vision was in fact antithetical to the French monarchy, as it would severely dilute the regime's ability to control the people. Knowledge and power, two key items the upper class held over the lower class, were in jeopardy as knowledge would be more accessible, giving way to more power amongst the lower class. An encyclopedia would give the layman an ability to reason and use knowledge to better themselves; allowing for upward mobility and increased intellectual abundance amongst the lower class. A growth of knowledge amongst this segment of society would provide power to this group and a yearning to question the government. The monarchy did not see any benefit in the works, instead viewing them as a threat to the power and authority of the monarchy.
Diderot's work was plagued by controversy from the beginning. It was suspended by the courts in 1752, as accusations arose, regarding seditious content, concerning the editors entries on religion and natural law. Diderot was detained and his house was searched for manuscripts for subsequent articles. But the search proved fruitless as no manuscripts could be found. They were hidden in the house of an unlikely confederate – Chretien de Lamoignon Malesherbes, the very official who ordered the search. Although Malesherbis was a staunch absolutist-loyal to the monarchy, he was sympathetic to the literary project. Along with his support, and that of other well placed influential confederates, the project resumed.
For twenty years, Diderot was harassed, persecuted and frequently abandoned by his friends. The church detested the Encyclopédie, which embodied a rising stronghold for their philosophic enemies. By 1757, the subscribers had grown from 2,000 to 4,000, a measure of the growth of the work in popular influence and power. The Encyclopédie threatened the governing social classes of France because it took for granted the justice of religious tolerance, freedom of thought, and the value of science and industry. It asserted the doctrine that the main concern of the nation's government ought to be the nation's common people. It was believed that the Encyclopédie was the work of an organized band of conspirators against society, and that the dangerous ideas they held were made truly formidable by their open publication.
In 1759, the Encyclopédie was formally suppressed. The decree did not stop the work, but did successed in forcing its publishers to operate in a more clandestine fashion. D'Alembert withdrew from the enterprise and others, including Anne Robert Jacques Turgot, Baron de Laune, declined to contribute further. Diderot was left to finish the task as best he could. He wrote several hundred articles, some very slight, but many of them laborious, comprehensive, and long. He damaged his eyesight correcting proofs and editing the manuscripts of less competent contributors. He was constantly harassed by threats of police raids.
The last copies of the first volume were issued in 1765. Even in its completion, Diderot suffered the indignation of learning that the bookseller, fearing the government's displeasure, had struck out from the proof sheets, after they had left Diderot's hands, all passages that he considered too dangerous. The monument to which Diderot had given the labor of twenty long and oppressive years was irreparably mutilated and defaced. The final 27 folio volumes of the Encyclopédie, ou dictionnaire raisonné des sciences, des arts et des métiers were not completed until 1772.

Hi Sifu Robert, Thank you again for yet another comprehensive response! This was very helpful and timely for me as I make my decision in the next few weeks. Especially knowing that my chart is less suited for being an entrepreneur. No worries - it doesn't demotivate me at all, and in fact makes my decision clearer/easier. Is it correct to assume that the same advice applies to how I manage my wealth/savings? It's probably better for me to keep my savings in FDs, blue-chips and property, since I don't have extreme good luck. And in years like 2021, maybe speculate a little bit. Also, can I apply favorable elements to the type of companies I buy? E.g., I should invest in Banking (Metal) and REITs (Earth) since they are favorable for me. Not sure if Bazi was meant to be used this way. Best, Adrian PS: I really like the latest version of the premium report, it's even more comprehensive and useful now. Keep up the great work!
Hi Sifu, Firstly, Happy CNY! I am excited and happy to be part of this community. Just went through my full Bazi report and thought it was very comprehensive. Thank you for doing this for us. To follow-up, I have three questions I'd like to clarify. For your reference, my birthday is Feb 10 1987 10:51pm. 1) Favorable elements. My report tells me that they are Earth and Metal, which makes sense since I'm weak Metal. However, there are some that say since my Metal is extremely weak, my favorable elements are actually Wood and Water. Why is that, and how should I resolve this? 2) Career. My report says that this decade I'll have more Earth but I'm not sure if it's enough for me to focus on Wood and Fire careers (Wealth/Power). I'm currently working as management in software (Fire?) and was a strategy consultant (Wood?) but thinking of working for a real-estate software company (Earth/Fire?) and becoming a part-time loan signing agent (Metal?). What do you think? 3) Name tweak. Currently my chinese name is 林文汉 (Wood Water Water) but I'm thinking of tweaking it to 林珳汉 (Wood Metal Water). That way I'll add some Metal/Earth without having to change my name's pronunciation. Would you recommend against doing this? Thanks again for all the time that you put into what you do, and I hope to hear from you soon.

Future of our NHS – blog by Dawn Slow
I have been reading a number of articles over the last month about the stresses on our NHS in their 70th year.
The government have recently confirmed that the NHS will receive considerably higher funding over the next 5 or so years than they have done previously, in an effort to prop up this ailing service. But is it enough? The article below suggests not.
http://www.nationalhealthexecutive.com/Comment/nhs-funding-below-the-surface
I have to assume that as this article is written by the National Health Executive the facts are correct. If so, clearly we need to invest much more into our NHS to secure its future for ourselves and our children rather than just enough to keep it going.
Another article by the National Health Executive (see below) is also a cause for concern, particularly when combined with the facts in the article above. It would seem that high vacancy or high turnover is currently a problem with many senior roles.
http://www.nationalhealthexecutive.com/Health-Care-News/third-of-nhs-trusts-have-at-least-one-vacant-director-role-due-to-near-toxic-pressures?dorewrite=false
Settlements for the most serious of clinical negligence claims have increased recently due to a change made by government in interest rates. This also affects the finances of the NHS. Here is an example of the larger settlements made in serious cases.
http://www.itv.com/news/anglia/2018-07-18/child-model-with-cerebral-palsy-awarded-15m-damages-from-nhs/
We here at BTTJ deal with cases like this on a daily basis. We always try to ensure that the NHS is aware of the potential cost to them of the cases we are dealing with so that they can budget for that potential cost going forward as these cases may take many years to settle.
I strongly believe that if a patient is injured as the result of the negligence of any member of NHS staff, that patient is entitled to full compensation to put them back, so far as is possible, into the position they would have been in had the incident not occurred – or to provide for any care they will need as a result of that negligence. However I am also concerned that the funding available to the NHS is creating a vicious circle in that it has insufficient funds to properly equip and staff itself which leads to mistakes being made. This in turn leads to payments for legal settlements which leaves less in the pot for equipment and staffing costs.
What can we do to prevent this?
There is little that we as solicitors can do other than support any lobbies to government to increase its spending in the NHS.
What we can also do is try to work with the NHS to settle any claims we are dealing with efficiently and in the most cost effective way we can whilst ensuring our clients receive the compensation they are entitled to and indeed often need to support their ongoing needs. We at BTTJ have been doing this for many years now and will continue to do so to the best of our ability. The team here at BTTJ are highly experienced and have a long history of working closely with the NHS legal team to bring about settlements that provide full restitution for our clients without running up costs for the NHS unnecessarily.

Family cleans house, finds pet tortoise missing since 1982
Decadence through simplicity
Stephen Messenger smessenger
Flickr/CC BY-SA 2.0
It's no secret that tortoises are among the most resilient animals on Earth, perfectly adapted for life in natural environments that others would find inhospitable. But for one particularly tenacious pet tortoise, that hardy sense of survival allowed it to endure for decades in the most unnatural of places, according to reports.
Back in 1982, the Almeida Family was saddened to learn that their beloved pet, Manuela, a young red-footed tortoise, had gone missing. Their house was under renovation at the time, so the family just assumed that the slow-moving animal had slipped out through a gate left open by the construction crew -- disappearing into the forest near their home in Realengo, Brazil. But they couldn't have been more wrong.
The true fate of their lost pet remained a mystery for the next 30 years, that is, until they were met with an unexpected surprise.
After their father Leonel passed away, the Almeida children returned to help clean out his cluttered storage room upstairs. As it turns out, Leonel was somewhat of a hoarder, so the room was jam-packed with things that he had found on the street, like broken televisions and furniture. Deciding it was mostly junk, the family set about moving it to the trash out front.
But while son Leandro Almeida was making a trip to the dumpster with a box of broken records, a neighbor asked him if he was intending to throw out the tortoise that was holed up inside.
"At that moment I was white and did not believe," Leandro told Globo TV.
That's when the Almeidas learned that, amazingly, the turtle had managed to somehow survive for three decades.
The family suspects she had been able to sustain herself grubbing on termites which, thanks to all that unwanted furniture, were likely in abundance. And although she seemed to be surviving just fine in the confines of the storage room, Manuela is no doubt pleased (in her own tortoisey way) to be reunited with the family that had so long thought her gone forever.
But in the end, it's hard not to be impressed with the resiliency of life and the slow-and-steady approach to survival taken by tortoises -- both in living with us, and perhaps sometimes in spite of it.
Please note, the photos show a red-footed tortoise, though not the actual one from the story, as that image was not available to us. A photo of Manuela can be seen here: Globo.
For one particularly tenacious pet tortoise, its hardy sense of survival allowed it to endure for decades in the most unnatural of places.

As you can see, teachers are very flexible and willing to accommodate volunteers' availabilities and involvement. If you think you might enjoy being a part of this rewarding effort next fall, ask Jeme or any other member. The kids would love you!
In just a few weeks the school year will be over and all the BoxTop coupons we have collected will be turned in at Lincoln. Please put any more you have clipped into the container in the foyer. Thank you!
We will be holding two collections for Loaves & Fishes on June 10—one monetary and one collecting food donations. Please plan to bring food donations that day and look for Rick Johnson's red truck in the parking lot to transfer food!
We collected $1,116 for Cradle Kalamazoo at the May 13th service. Thanks to everyone who donated.
Since it's inception, a few members of People's Church have been volunteer mentors with The Center for Transformation, a social justice support group for parolees who are returning to society after long periods of incarceration.
Church members Molly Fairbanks, George McCrea, Greg Feldmeier and Rick Johnson have been helping one such parolee for over six years. His name is William Beebe, and… the good news is… he'll be "graduating" from parole on June 6!
It's been a long fought journey, with many monthly prison visits, phone calls and then the more immediate support needed when William began his parole in Kalamazoo. In time, the personal connections with his mentors have become close and important to everyone in this newly formed extended family. William's progress has been steady. He now has a full-time job, a car, an apartment, a girlfriend and he is renewing long neglected family ties.
On June 6, his first act of freedom will be to visit his mother and sister, who live in Three Rivers. Then he will have a Celebration Lunch with his happy, proud mentors. And not far down the list, is a planned Sunday visit to People's Church, where he has four good friends!

Jackalopes of Wyoming – Myth or Reality?
Thought to be a myth by many, the jackalope is alleged to actually exists in remote areas of Wyoming.
Whether the jackalope actually exists or is simply a hoax popularized by a Douglas, Wyoming resident in 1939, is still hotly debated today.
For those who believe, the jackalope is said to be an antlered species of rabbit, sometimes rumored to be extinct. One of the rarest animals in the world, it is a cross between a now extinct pygmy-deer and a species of killer-rabbit. However, occasional sightings of this rare creature continue to occur, with small pockets of jackalope populations persisting in the American West. The antlered species of rabbit are brownish in color, weight between three and five pounds, and move with lightning speeds of up to 90 miles per hour.
They are said to be vicious when attacked and use their antlers to fight, thus they are sometimes called the "warrior rabbit."
The jackalope was first encountered by John Colter, one of the first white men to enter what would one day be the State of Wyoming.
They also allegedly possess an uncanny ability to mimic human sounds and when chased will use these abilities to elude capture. During days of the Old West, when cowboys gathered by the campfires singing at night, jackalopes could often be heard mimicking their voices.
Jackalope drawing in the 1700's
Most commonly sighted in the states of Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska, and New Mexico, the jackalope also appears to have a European cousin, in Germany, known as the wolpertinger, and in Sweden, a related species called the skvader. Illustrations of horned hares go back as far as the 16th century in scholarly European works
Some people do not believe a separate species exists of its own, but rather the jackalope is "real" only because of a virus called papillomatosis. Also called Jackalopism, the disease causes certain growths caused by a parasite to harden on the top of a rabbit's head, resembling horns. It is this virus that they attribute to the birth of the jackalope legend.
For others, the jackalope is thought to be nothing more than a mystical creature, perpetuated by Douglas Herrick, a resident of Douglas, Wyoming, in 1939. The whole thing began after Douglas and his brother Ralph had returned from hunting one day. When Ralph threw a dead jackrabbit on the floor of the shop, it slid right up against a pair of deer horns. When Ralph declared that "it looked like a rabbit with horns on it," Douglas, a taxidermist, decided to mount it. From there, the mounted jackalope was born and the pair of brothers began to sell them to the public. Before long, they could be found everywhere, in homes and taverns all over the American West. At the same time, jackalope postcards became a popular Western souvenir.
The jackalopes of Douglas, Wyoming became so popular that by the late 1940's the city had proclaimed itself as the "Jackalope Capital of the World," promoting the self-proclaimed title in brochures and other tourism advertising.
In 1965, an eight-foot concrete statue was erected in downtown Douglas and today billboards, and jackalope images can be seen all over Douglas — on park benches, fire trucks, motel signs, and a 13-foot-tall jackalope cutout on a hillside. The city is also very good about warning visitors of the "vicious" animal's propensity to attack, so tourists will see a number of posted warning signs throughout the town: "Watch out for the jackalope."
Jackalope Crossing
Every year, Douglas hosts and annual Jackalope Day in June that hosts a Mini-Monster Truck Obstacle Course, Mud Volleyball tournaments, a Motorcycle Show and Rally, the Greased Pig Run, and numerous other events for those hoping for a peek at a "real jackalope."
Each year, the Douglas Chamber of Commerce also issues thousands of jackalope hunting licenses, despite rules specifying that the hunter cannot have an IQ higher than 72 and can hunt only between midnight and 2 a.m. each June 31st.
But, this is still not enough for the "Queen City" of Jackalope Country, which now plans to build yet another giant Jackalope. Towering over I-25, the giant fiberglass jackalope will stand 80 feet above the plains.
In 2005, Wyoming legislators declared the jackalope as the state's "Official Mythical Creature."

Chapter 7.2- No More Foolishness (2)
Posted by Karnevale's Admin, ? Views, Released on March 17, 2021
He frowned. As soon as Alex was about to step up, the old man's eyes turned to Raymond.
He opened his mouth with an expression of unknown meaning.
"Your Highness the Fifth Prince, this is…"
"Shouldn't he introduce himself first?"
"Oh, my God, that was rude. My name is Phillip, an elder and a Superior wizard of the tower."
Philip introduces himself with exaggerated courtesy. His gesture was smeared with a sarcastic feeling.
"When the Red Tower and the Yellow Tower stood behind the Third Prince, the one who was living a comfortable life suddenly came to the Blue Tower, so I came here because I was curious."
"His Highness the Fifth Prince is in front of you!"
'Why are you acting like the Fifth prince is an enemy when we are not even standing behind the Third prince?'
That's what Lisefield meant.
He was obviously being sarcastic, and Alex came forward when he noticed it.
The Imperial Knights were not around because they were likely to be under the command of the Third Prince, so they were forcibly removed from the blue tower.
"Oh, you're so arrogant. How dare you cut in here! Your Highness the Fifth, will you stay still?" Philip released his Mana and said.
Alex stumbled with a short groan as the sharp momentum came under pressure.
Raymond, who could not see it, released a little bit of the energy that the Spear of Sacrifice had. He used one of the techniques of secret technique to hide it.
Alex's expression became comfortable, but Philip's eyes glistened after reading the intangible energy revealed for a moment.
Seeing that, Lisefield sighed, foreshadowing that things would get complicated.
"Your Higher the Fifth must not have reached this level of energy within few days… Lisefield, did you give the secret of the tower to the Fifth Prince?"
"What if he did?" Raymond answered instead of Lisefield. However, Philip's gaze was only briefly directed at Raymond, and was again fixed on the Master of the blue tower.
"It is said that the Master of the tower has the authority to carry out the secret techniques, but if you proceed without discussing it to others like this? Did you become crazy?"
He would have wanted to say, 'Don't put your hopes on the Fifth Prince.'
However, he could not say that, so Phillip asked the Master of Blue Tower if he had become crazy.
"Did you see any possibility from the Fifth Prince? If so, it should be a possibility worth turning against the Three Prince, the so-called Magic Genius."
Rough attacks poured in. As soon as the Master of the Blue Tower tried to open his mouth, Raymond was a little faster.
"It's not difficult."
"Huh? Excuse me, Your Highness the fifth..…. Could you repeat that?"
There was a sneer hanging around the mouth of Phillip.
"It's not a difficult thing. Elder Phillip." Raymond Replied.
"His Highness the Third Prince, young in his late 20s, already rose to the level of a Superior Wizards. As far as I know, Your Highness the Fifth doesn't have any talent for sword and magic yet."
The more he heard it, the more he aw that he doesn't respect him even though he is part of the Imperial Family.
'I guess he wanted to stand behind the third Prince.'
The Red Tower and the Yellow Tower stand behind the Third Prince. He wants to have a Blue Tower with him there also.
But, the Fifth Prince suddenly popped out and learned the Secret of the Blue Tower, so he must feel like there's a thorn in his eye.
"Do you think I'm not talented enough to learn the secret tradition?"
"How could that be?"
And then he smiled slyly. He could see Alex shaking next to him.
He opened his mouth and quietly raised his hand slightly to prevent Alex from coming forward.
"Do I just have to prove my talent?"
"Do you want to prove it?"
"Is there a Junior Wizard among your students?"
Following what Raymond remembers, there seems to be one among them.
"There is one."
"Bring him in two days. I'll prove it to you with a fight."
"Are you going to be alright?"
"It doesn't matter, so get him in two days."
"Yes, I will."
A smile spread around the mouth of Phillip's mouth, thinking he could officially screw up the Fifth Prince.
"I have to train hard now."
"Yes, Your Highness the Fifth. Good luck."
After sneaking a displeased look, Phillip lowered his head and moved away.
"Fifth Prince, Elder Filde will send out his third disciple. He's a Junior-level wizard, but he's on the verge of being an intermediate-level wizard."
"You can't win. What do you want me to do?…."
"Stop."
Raymond cut off the words of Lisefield. It was so frustrating that he couldn't listen to it anymore.
"There is no such thing as impossible."
He paused for a moment. But his eyes are still on Lisefield.
"I keep my words. By the day of the battle, I will be in the Junior level. So get out of here."
Lisefield had no choice but to step down due to the Prince's order.
Raymond concentrated on training, saving time to sleep. When his Mana ran out, he recovered by taking a pill.
Even if he collapsed, he got up again and practised Mana.
He did not stop training despite the pain of his body being torn apart.
He couldn't sleep. It was just a waste of time.
And finally amidst the pain.
He rose to the rank of a Junior Wizard.
Two days later, the morning of the seventh day since coming to the Blue Tower arrived.
After staying up all night for training, Raymond finished changing with Alex's help and left the training camp.
As soon as he came out into the hallway, Lisefield followed him.
The Imperial knights were told not to stick too much, so they followed slowly at a certain distance.
But he could still feel their gaze as if they were watching.m every step he makes.
"Congratulations to achievibg the rank of a Junior Wizard."
Lisefield spoke in a small, calm voice. Raymond opened his mouth with a clear smile around his mouth.
"Did you stay up all night in front of the training camp?"
"Anyway, I heard you lose sleep when you get old."
Raymond said it as if he were complaining, but he felt good.
"Just wait and see. I will destroy Elder Phillip's student and save your old face."
"Can I look forward to it?"
As they talked to each other, they soon arrived at the training center.
"Fifth Prince, we must accompany you this time."
One of the four imperial knights who followed came at a quick pace and said. Raymond looked closely at his face because he looked familiar.
'He's under Aloken's command'
He is one of the Imperial knights who stepped back when he met the Third Prince before. Looking at the lead in asking for company, it was clear that rumors about the Third Prince wanting all the tower behind him was true.
'He even told them to look out for me.'
The initially cold eyes of the Imperial Knights cooled down.
The content of the battle will eventually be reported to the Third Prince, but it didn't matter. He can just say that he had been learning how to handle mana years before.
The Third Prince will not believe that those who have not learned magic can suddenly rise to the level of a Junior Wizard in span of a week even if an Imperial article reports it.
'All I have to do is hide the Spear of Sacrifice.'
He was already afraid of what Lisefield will charge for restoration if he drill another hole in the blue tower this time.
When Lisefield spoke with a solemn look, two Tower knights guarding the entrance opened the door of the training center. The Tower Knight were hired knight who is responsible for minimal physical labor force within the Tower.
"Let's go in."
