Q: React Hook effect how to add events Hello it´s my first time asking a question here. I´m currently learning react.
I would like to know what I´m doing wrong.
I want to have a response that it says there´s no event today in the following code if there´s no events that day.
Can Anybody help me?
function getHitos(){
    const url = `${API_HOST}/tal-dias`;

    return fetch(url).then((response)=>{
        return response.json();
    }).then((result)=>{
        return result;
    });

}

export default function LeerMas(props) {
// constante donde se guarda la id, que hemos pasado por parametros desde tal día
const {id} = props.route.params
console.log(id);

Tekashi 6ix9ine Is Out Of Jail & Paying Kids To Join New Soccer League
Instagram/6ix9ine_
Brooklyn, NY – Tekashi 6ix9ine is out of Rikers Island jail and back in his hometown of Brooklyn, where he's evidently decided to start a kids soccer league.
On Sunday (July 14), 6ix9ine posted an Instagram video showing him doling out $20 bills to several kids and some of their parents.
"STARTED A SOCCER LEAGUE STRAIGHT OUT JAIL," he wrote in all caps. "69 FOR THE COMMUNITY."
In the clip, someone jokes that it's "bail money."
STARTED A SOCCER LEAGUE STRAIGHT OUT OF JAIL ? 69 FOR THE COMMUNITY ?❤?????
A post shared by TATI OUT NOW LINK IN BIO (@6ix9ine_) on Jul 14, 2018 at 3:54pm PDT
The multicolored-hair rapper was arrested on Wednesday (July 11) at John F. Kennedy International Airport for an alleged assault after coming back from a European tour.
The 22-year-old was booked into Rikers Island and initially denied bail. But, after his lawyers called for an emergency hearing on Thursday (July 12), he was allowed out on $150,000 bail.
The catch? He must return to Houston on Monday (July 16) and turn himself in. He will have to post another $5,000 bail to secure his freedom.
Upon his release, the "Gummo" phenom shared a video that captured his unhinged excitement.
"Look at my city! Why my city do me like that?" he shouts. "It's fuckin' Treway. Why my city do me like that? Shout out to these lawyers. Shout out to these fucking lawyers, man! Them niggas work quick as fuck. Yo! I'm so happy to be home. I can't wait to see my baby. I can't wait to see my daughter."
Peep the full video below.

Asylum claims from Syria, Iraq and other conflict zones rise in first half 2014

Friday 26, September 2014
GENEVA, September 26 (UNHCR) –A UNHCR report released on Friday shows that the number of people seeking refugee status in industrialized countries continued to climb in the first half of 2014, driven by the wars in Syria and Iraq as well as conflict and instability in countries such as Afghanistan, Eritrea.
UNHCR's new "Asylum Trends" report, which is based on data received from 44 governments in Europe, North America and parts of the Asia-Pacific, says 330,700 people asked for refugee status in these 44 countries between the start of January and the end of June. The figure marks a rise of 24 per cent from the same period a year earlier, and slightly higher than in the second half of last year (328,100 claims).
The report warned that, based on historical trends showing higher numbers of asylum-seekers in the second half of each year, 2014 could produce as many as 700,000 claims – which would make it the highest level in industrialized countries in 20 years and a level not seen since the 1990s conflict in former Yugoslavia.
"We are clearly into an era of growing conflict," said UN High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres. "The global humanitarian system is already in great difficulty. The international community needs to prepare their populations for the reality that in the absence of solutions to conflict more and more people are going to need refuge and care in the coming months and years. Unfortunately, it is not clear that the resources and the access to asylum will be available to help them."
Of the net overall increase in new claims shown in the report, more than two thirds of these were in just six countries – Germany, the United States, France, Sweden, Turkey and Italy.
Central Europe, in particular Hungary and Poland, as well as Australia saw declines in the numbers of people asking to be accepted as refugees. Australia had just 4,600 claims (a 20 per cent fall from a year earlier), while in Poland the number dropped to 3,300 (65 per cent lower) and in Hungary to 4,800 (58 per cent lower).
Overall, Syria was the main country of origin of people seeking asylum with a more than two-fold increase (48,400 claims compared to 18,900 in the same period in 2013). Iraq, where hundreds of thousands of people have become newly displaced this year, produced 21,300 asylum applications, followed by Afghanistan (19,300) and Eritrea (18,900).
Applications for refugee status in industrialized countries are just one element in the global picture of forced displacement from wars and conflict. As of the end of 2013, some 51.2 million people were forcibly displaced worldwide. Most remain either internally displaced within their own countries, else as refugees hosted in states bordering onto war zones.
UNHCR publishes data on worldwide forced displacement in its annual Global Trends report. Reports on asylum in industrialized countries are normally published twice annually.

Netflix Threatens to Provoke Subscriber Protests If ISPs Block Traffic
Network neutrality setback spurs fighting words from CEO Reed Hastings

Don't tread on Netflix traffic, CEO Reed Hastings warned Internet service providers in an investor letter Wednesday accompanying its fourth quarter earnings, which sent the stock soaring 17% in after-hours trading.
With the company's stock taking a beating last week in the wake of a federal appeals court's overturning of the FCC's Open Internet Order, Hastings made clear he would call on subscribers to revolt if ISPs forced Netflix to pay to keep its streams from clogging broadband pipelines.
"Were this draconian scenario to unfold with some ISP, we would vigorously protest and encourage our members to demand the open Internet they are paying their ISP to deliver," said Hastings in the letter.
The warning shot was expected considering Netflix is the biggest supplier of broadband content. But the blow to network neutrality last week had analysts wondering whether the company would be forced to pay ISPs hefty sums to protect its content. Hastings has spoken out on ensuring network neutrality is kept intact on previous occasions as well.
Still, he held out hope that ISPs would not go with the nuclear option. "The most likely case, however, is that ISPs will avoid this consumer unfriendly path of discrimination. ISPs are generally aware of the broad public support for net neutrality and don't want to galvanize government action."
On a Google Hangout session with select industry analysts following the earnings announcement, Hastings further played down concerns citing its track record around the globe. "We operate in 41 countries that have varying states of net neutrality and we haven't had a significant problem to date," he said.
Here's the full text of Hastings comment on the subject from the investor letter.
Unfortunately, Verizon successfully challenged the U.S. net neutrality rules. In principle, a domestic ISP now can legally impede the video streams that members request from Netflix, degrading the experience we jointly provide. The motivation could be to get Netflix to pay fees to stop this degradation. Were this draconian scenario to unfold with some ISP, we would vigorously protest and encourage our members to demand the open Internet they are paying their ISP to deliver.
The most likely case, however, is that ISPs will avoid this consumer unfriendly path of discrimination. ISPs are generally aware of the broad public support for net neutrality and don't want to galvanize government action.
Moreover, ISPs have very profitable broadband businesses they want to expand. Consumers purchase higher bandwidth packages mostly for one reason: high quality streaming video. ISPs appear to recognize this and many of them are working closely with us and other streaming video services to enable the ISPs subscribers to more consistently get the high quality streaming video consumers desire.
In the long term, we think Netflix and consumers are best served by strong network neutrality across all networks, including wireless. To the degree that ISPs adhere to a meaningful voluntary code of conduct, less regulation is warranted. To the degree that some aggressive ISPs start impeding specific data flows, more regulation would clearly be needed.

So, over two days, Microsoft and Apple held consecutive press events to debut / refresh some of their higher-priced products. Microsoft introduced the Surface Studio, which is expensive and very pro/artist oriented, and Apple introduced their first significantly updated Macbook Pro in years.
There is some fallout from today's event… I don't really know how to follow Apple's thinking on some of their choices, nor can I identify what market they're trying to pursue.
The big new feature (on the higher-end models) is an OLED Touch Bar that replaces the F-keys on the top row of the keyboard. This new Touch Bar can change based on the focused app, and the 'keys' on it can change in function and shape. This looks like a huge gimmic to me, and I'm not sure who this is going to benefit.
You can't really develop muscle memory for something that's constantly changing.
What happens to the functions people use the F-keys for? Or the shortcuts people have assigned to them?
What happens to anyone using their Macbook on a laptop stand/dock with an external keyboard?
How good is the workflow when you're constantly shifting your eyes from the screen to the touchpad?
Do you use/need an 'escape' key?
If Apple were to add additional touch functionality, it would have made a ton more sense to integrate a touch strip across the top of the existing trackpad, which had it's size increased some 63%.
Plug in virtually any flash / external drive lying around the office.
Plug in most peripherals more than 6 months old.
Plug in the SD or MicroSD card from your DSLR.
Plug in your new iPhone 7 headphones.
But hey- you can charge it from any of those ports!
Also, and I think this is going to be a dealbreaker for a lot of folks… The 15″ version is available only with a discete graphics card. Starting at $2399. Suddenly, my XPS 15 that I spec'd out with a 4K Infinity screen and a graphics card for $1900 doesn't seem quite so ludicrous. Hell, the brand new i7 Surface Book suddenly achieved price parity, and it also has a detachable touch screen tablet with an active digitizer and pen.
Wrapping up, it was an interesting event. It's nice to see Apple giving their lineup a much-needed spec boost. That said, the 'innovation' on display, namely the Touch Bar, seemed like something Samsung would have tried back in 2012. It does not feel, in a phrase, very Apple-like. It will be interesting to see what this does for macOS sales.
edit: I forgot to mention that even the 15″ Macbook Pro now uses a 'butterfly' keyboard. This is the exceptionally shallow keyboard that was previously found on the 12″ Macbook. If you're a writer, I apologize.


This week is my favourite week of the year; not only is it Valentine's Day, the one day of the year that's all about the love, but it's also the anniversary of our engagement and wedding! This year we'll be celebrating with a stay at a swanky London hotel, cocktails and a romantic meal for two. But it doesn't have to be about splashing the cash, there's something rather lovely about staying in, cooking (or ordering in!) a lovely meal and hosting your own cosy celebration in the space you created together.
Of course, we're all about the pretty, so this week we've got heaps of Valentine's inspiration for you. We're starting with some inspiration for your own cosy Valentine's for two from this pink ombre shoot I styled for Nila Holden Cookies with some of our talented Contributor's Network members. We set our table with a rose gold sequinned cloth from The Sweet Hostess. A romantic floral arrangement of pink and ivory flowers with pops of red created by Westwood Design make the perfect centrepiece. A vase of red roses and a pretty ribbon would be easy to recreate at home! I used a selection of cookies from Nila Holden to decorate the table, with ombre cookie stacks, personalised cookies and cookie pops providing an array of sweet treats.
Treat your beau with Nila's Valentines Cookies at Not on the Highstreet.

Can Your iPod Kill You?
I bought my daughter a new phone for her birthday in the spring, and the phone included a $100 rebate. Normally, I avoid every product with a rebate, but my hatred for rebates couldn't bring me to reject the phone my daughter wanted. So I got the phone, and the rebate came in a decent amount of time.

Church Bombing Surfaces Egypt's Deeper Problems
Sectarian violence rises in a country that was long a model of pluralism
This article is from the archive of our partner .
The New Year's Day car bombing of a Christian church in Alexandria, Egypt has since set off a wave of protests, counter-protests, and angry recriminations that have much of Egypt reeling. The bombing killed 21 people. Though the country has a long history of peacefully coexisting with its Christians, known as Copts, this attack comes after a gradual rise in violence against the Coptic community over the past decade. The day after the attack, Coptic protesters in Cairo, outraged that Egyptian security was failing to protect them, attacked policemen, wounding 45. As Coptic Christmas approaches on January 7, many in Egypt fear more violence against the Coptic minority. The recent attack has also brought longer-term problems back into the public discourse as well. There's no shortage of blame being assigned both within and without the country. Here's what they're saying.
Return of 1990s Anti-Christian Violence The New York Times' Liam Stack and David Kirkpatrick call the attack "the bloodiest year in four decades of sectarian tensions in Egypt" and "the culmination of a long escalation of violence against Egypt's Coptic Christians." But still, it is newly brutal and "a break with the smaller episodes of intra-communal violence that have marked Muslim-Christian relations for the past decade. Instead, it was reminiscent of the 1990s attacks by Egyptian Islamist terrorists on Christians, tourists and government institutions."
Egypt's Christians Feel 'Besieged' The Associated Press' Paul Schemm writes, "In the last couple years in particular, the country's Coptic Christian minority, which makes up 10 percent of the country's 80 million, has felt under siege following a string of incidents." But it's been more than just violence. "Christians rioted after government forces violently stopped the construction of a church near Cairo in a long-running dispute over restrictions on building Christian houses of worship." In another incident, "the government ordered the destruction of a quarter-million pigs as a dubious prevention measure against swine flu, devastating the livelihoods of Cairo's large community of Christian garbage collectors, who raised the animals to dispose of organic waste. The Christians saw it as an expression of Muslim disgust at pigs thinly disguised as a health concern."
Egyptian Society Has Failed Al-Ahram columnist Hani Shukrallah fumes in an open letter to his fellow Egyptians.
I accuse a government that seems to think that by outbidding the Islamists it will also outflank them.
I accuse the host of MPs and government officials who cannot help but take their own personal bigotries along to the parliament, or to the multitude of government bodies, national and local, from which they exercise unchecked, brutal yet at the same time hopelessly inept authority.
I accuse those state bodies who believe that by bolstering the Salafi trend they are undermining the Muslim Brotherhood, and who like to occasionally play to bigoted anti-Coptic sentiments, presumably as an excellent distraction from other more serious issues of government.
But most of all, I accuse the millions of supposedly moderate Muslims among us; those who've been growing more and more prejudiced, inclusive and narrow minded with every passing year.
Activists and Muslim Brotherhood Join in Coptic Protests The Daily New Egypt reports, "Hundreds of protestors from various opposition groupss--including the Muslim Brotherhood (MB)--gathered in Shubra on Saturday night to denounce the attack on Al-Qeddesine Church (The Church of the Two Saints) that occurred in Alexandria earlier that day." Al-Masry Al-Youm explains that the protests have come to incorporate wider anger against the authoritarian regime. "The protesters, who came from different political factions like Egyptians against Religious Discrimination group and the 6 April movement, chanted anti-government slogans such as, 'Down with the sectarian state,' and 'Long live the Crescent with the Cross."

Here's the gazebo so far. I started putting some roses on. It looks like I'll be making roses for a long long time!
This is all the fabric I dyed for roses and leaves.
Here are the colors I use for aging stones. 3 shades of green and to golden browns.
This paintbrush is perfect for doing the detailed rust and moss spots on the stones. It's a very used, old brush that makes perfect markings.
I also finished the chandelier. I added 7 more arms and the roses.
This picture makes the chandelier look crooked!
This is the gazebo with some of the tulle on.
I wanted to see just how many roses I would need so I started one vine.
I used pink tulle to drape the top roof and sides.
This is a side shot.
I can't wait to get more roses on there. I'm also going to use real moss.
It's a dream! There's nothing like tulle and roses to spell romance.
So very fairy like and romantic! You have the magic touch!
Your gazebo looks a dream! It can only look more wonderful once you have added more roses. I love the floor stones. In fact I love everything...Gazebo/vines/roses/tulle/chandelier...everything!
it's is beautiful! Love the roses! And the chandelier is just wonderful.
I am already planning a spring festival under this romantic gazabo!!
So beautiful. Can't wait to see the finished product!
OH MY GOODNESS, THIS IS GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!! Oh, how I wish I had a granddaughter to be able to purchase this as a gift! Any little girl would go CRAZY over it. Great job, and the roses on the vine and under the chandelier, are just the most precious little things I have ever seen. Can't wait to see the finished gazebo! BEAUTIFUL!!

A north for the Ecuadorian economy, although with a still diffuse signal
The Economic Productive Sector Council of Ecuador has proposed to President Lenin Moreno the incorporation of the country to the OECD, a dream still far away for which the Andean nation will need to improve a lot, if it wants to enter that exclusive club of development.
When presenting the proposal on Thursday, the Economy Minister, Richard Martinez, said that the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) could serve as a seesaw to promote the best economic practices in his country, according to those who maintain their 36 member countries, among the richest in the world.
"In the OECD we will be able to approach the best global practices in areas of public policy, in favor of the citizens", and above all to intrude the country into the big leagues of investment, transparency, social policies and environment, said the secretary of State.
For him, the inclusion of the country in the OECD could be "a new sign that we are growing in the right direction, with pragmatism".
And this organization, founded in 1961, offers coordination among its members on economic changes and helps measure productivity and global flows of trade and investment.
In addition, it sets international standards within a wide range of public policy issues and, in turn, better guides the relationship of its members with multilateral credit agencies.
For a long time, this organization was conformed only by countries of the first world, reason why it was known like the "Club of the rich", although with time it acquired a greater balance.
Germany, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Chile, Colombia, South Korea, Denmark, Slovenia, Spain, the United States, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Iceland, Israel and Italy are part of the OECD.
Also Japan, Luxembourg, Latvia, Lithuania, Mexico, Norway, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic, Sweden, Switzerland and Turkey.
In addition, other non-member countries are close to the OECD guidelines, including Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Peru, Romania and Tunisia.
The entry of Ecuador into this organization, for now, is a projection of the current authorities, although there are those who believe that the Ecuadorian economy is not prepared for it.
Rather, it could be a strategy to bring the country even closer to the orbit of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), analyst Pablo Dávalos told Efe.
And it is that "the conditionalities" that the IMF usually requires the countries that ask for loans, "are others when it is part of the OECD," added the economist, who believes that, in addition, the Ecuadorian economy is very small and faces many difficulties to enter the forum.
Ours, he said, is an "economy too small to be part of that OECD, which brings together the strongest economies in the world" and therefore, the announcement of trying to enter the Organization could be "a kind of distraction" political by part of the Government.
In Ecuador "there is a lot of unemployment, poverty, public disinvestment" and for December the government will face "serious liquidity problems", since it will have to pay significant outlays of current spending and the payment of its external debt, the expert added.
Therefore, Dávalos insisted that "it is very difficult to accept Ecuador" in the OECD, although touching that door can legitimize the economic policy discourse that attempts to strengthen the government, the analyst added.
However, for the analyst Mauricio Pozo, the position of the Ministry of Economy is correct, since the OECD is an institution that demands rigor in the management of the economy.
The announcement to try to be part of that organization is a positive message for investors, since it expresses the interest of the Government to strengthen the transparency and solvency of its economic policy, according to Pozo.

GameDailydotReview: Animal Crossing: New Horizons
An escape when we need it most.
It's hard to overstate just how highly-anticipated Animal Crossing: New Horizons is. Not only has it been nearly a decade since the last mainline Animal Crossing game (New Leaf launched on the Nintendo 3DS in 2012), New Horizons is releasing into a global crisis care of COVID-19. Many countries are on full lockdown, and mandated work-from-home programs are sweeping the globe. Add to that volatile economic and political landscapes, and demand for escapism of any kind is at an all-time high.
That's not to say that New Horizons is the antidote for all of the world's ills, but, according to critical consensus, it does provide a bit of a reprieve from the unwelcoming facade of real life. The concept is this: you are a new arrival on a deserted island, and it's up to you to make what you want out of life here. You'll build a home, meet other islanders, go fishing, plant trees, catch bugs, gather materials to craft furniture, and more. This entire package is wrapped up in a cute-as-buttons minimalist aesthetic.
New Horizons is enjoying near-universal praise thanks to its stress-free gameplay loop, but it's the real-world circumstances into which the game is releasing that makes it extra notable. For many, it provides a time capsule-esque snapshot of the world in 2020.
"Animal Crossing: New Horizons gives us all the best reason to quarantine ourselves and start a new life on a faraway island where all of our troubles disappear on the horizon, even just for a few serene moments of digital relaxation," reviewer Paul Tamayo wrote in Kotaku's review. "And yeah, in case you're wondering--it's excellent, and absolutely worth the hype."
Tamayo praised the control New Horizons gives its players: control over NPC living locations, your house's decor, and even the landscape of your island. Having control over something in this out-of-control world, Tamayo said, is freeing.
For Polygon's Russ Frushtick, New Horizons serves as a sort of ad hoc vacation in a time when travelling is discouraged.
"If ever there were a time to hop on a plane and kick it on a deserted island for a few months, it's right now," Frushtick wrote in the review. "But that's not really an option for most of us. Maybe this is why so many people have been looking forward to the newest Animal Crossing game, seeing it as a viable vacation simulation in the face of self-imposed isolation."
Frushtick also echoed Tamayo's praise of the control New Horizon gives the player.
"New Horizons makes enormous changes to the island construction process, putting me in complete control over every major decision. I decide the location of the housing plot for every new villager, before they even move in. I decide where the museum and the shop will be built. If I don't like where I placed my house initially, I can move it for a modest fee."
At Launcher, the Washington Post's video game vertical, reviewer Elise Favis noted the transformative nature of the game and the harmonious mingling of man-made structures with nature.
"Bridges form over rivers, shops pop up, homes receive renovations and the town center is filled with fountains and stalls--some of which are handmade by you. Seeing these advancements throughout your island is rewarding: A bare plot of land is now humming with life."
If there's any downside to New Horizons, it can be found in the game's multiplayer functionality. While you can visit friends' islands, Favis said that it's somewhat restrictive. While in another person's game, you can't collect bugs or flowers, you're often forced to stop any and all activity while the host is accessing menus.
There are also some thematic considerations to be made, according to Vice's Gita Jackson. The core concept of arriving to a new land and stripping it for resources reeks of colonialism, Jackson said, which is exacerbated by the ability to travel to randomly generated islands ripe with natural resources via an in-game currency called Nook Miles.
"Because the Nook Miles ticket islands are essentially disposable--you're not going to face any repercussions from destroying all the rocks and cutting down all the trees--I would just go to these islands and demolish them," Jackson wrote. "It felt purely mercenary; it became something I would do as I watched reality television, which is how I handle the boredom of most other chores. I would pick every flower, chop every tree, hit every rock, collect every bug and fish. Devastation laid in my wake. It was like a cutesy cartoon version of what happened as European explorers ventured out into Asia, Africa and the Americas. They took everything."
In addition to providing players with the means to escape from the world, New Horizons also represents a much-needed first-party boost for Nintendo. Recent months have seen a dip in video game sales, Switch hardware included. The last major first-party release was Pokémon Sword and Shield, which propelled the console to its most lucrative week ever. With a relatively light future release slate, and an unknown production schedule for the Switch thanks to COVID-19-driven supply chain issues, Nintendo has a lot riding on New Horizons.
If you can look past the limiting multiplayer, and the unfortunate connotations associated with squeezing a natural utopia of all of its resources, it appears that Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a trip worth taking. For most reviewers, it's a timely release, an escape during a time when we all could stand to get away from the stifling nature of the virus-ravaged geopolitical landscape. And in the end isn't that one of the reasons we play video games?

Blind patriotism or blind rebelliousness?
The sudden flush of Facebook statuses regarding the upcoming elections baffle me.
Whats with the especially intensed controversy this year?
Apart from certain constituencies i think everything else have been controversial since elections ago.
As i've said, i think it's foolish to be oblivious to the pervasiveness of the new media.
Why do you even want to get yourself into trouble?
It is most annoying and irritable when one completely display no understanding of Singaporean politics. I urge such ignorant people, bluntly put, to just shut up.
1. Singapore is NOT a democratic society although our pledge once pledged to build a democratic society. Isn't it obvious?! So stop demanding for democracy because we've stopped living in democracy since what, 4 decades ago?
2. MM Lee is NOT the President of Singapore he is MINISTER MENTOR omg my jaw dropped when i saw this on Facebook. & no its not a joke.
3. The Worker's Party is NOT the only opposition stop thinking that there are only two parties running for the elections leh.
Then again i keep wondering why this election seem to be of heat on Facebook.
& why people seem to support either parties with wrong reasons or worse, NO reason.
I guess that's what my Dad meant by blind patriotism or blind rebelliousness.
To you older generation, do not be patriotic blindly.
You won't be credited for not keeping up with the times; politics do change.
To you younger generation, do not be rebellious blindly.
Dissent is not at all funny. & this is not a school rule for you to break and be a pai kia.
It seems like everyone's talking about it because we (my friends on Facebook) have all grown up.
We're now all interested in politics and want to take part in it.
We all think we're well educated in the not-so-political politics of Singapore.
We are decieved by what others say.
Our decisions get wavered easily.
We enjoy jumping on political bandwagons like these.
We somehow believe that we're entrenched in a dire predicament by the PAP and desperately need to get out.
Kids, are you guys EVEN OF AGE TO VOTE?
Well, firstly this election is unprecedented in Sg due to the level of contest in almost every constituency. This allows almost the entire votable populace to have a say who to vote for, unlike previous elections over 4 decades.
Secondly, this year the calibre of opposition has greatly improved compared to those of yesteryears. They add credibility, most are sufficiently eloquent enough to connect with the voters, and many brought up good suggestions and valid points.
Thirdly, new media provided a neutral platform whereby all parties can air their views without fear of censorship. Unlike in the past, the people's access to information are limited to local newspapers and tv, which to a certain degree were censored or edited to favour the ruling party (given that SPH is controlled by the gov and Mediacorp owe their monopoly status to gov support). The new media allowed the opposition's pov and speeches to be heard in it's original context by the people, which in turns allow voters to make informed decisions.
Lastly, I also agree that there are many ignorant singaporeans who jump on the bandwagon blindly just because the election debate is in trend right now. However, this GE did do one thing that all previous GEs failed to do and that is raise the political awareness of people. Prior to the elections, there are many who don't even know who their MPs are, and what roles they play. But this GE allowed what was once indifferent citizens to get involved. From this perspective, whether they be supporting the left or right wing doesn't matter as much because at least they now know more about Sg's political system then they did 2 weeks ago, which only bodes well for our future as a country.
In conclusion, as in all things, there will be a spectrum of views and there will be those on the extreme ends "blindly rebellious" or "blindly patriotic". However, its the process that makes the difference, and I comment young people like yourself for noticing it. The fact that you are bloggin about it shows that the impact is there. And in later years when you are caught in circumstances where housing, taxes, healthcare and other issues involved you, you will be glad this GE 2011 gave you the experience of an introduction into Sg politics.
"Psychotic Squirrel" sounds pretty familiar and i'm quite sure i've seen your comments somewhere.
I am aware about your explanation as to why this election is unprecedented. I should have been more precised by stating that the elections this year's been discussed on Facebook very superficially. & it's the superficiality that is irritable.
Talking about the new media, i know it is a platform whereby all parties can air their views. But without fear of censorship? I would beg to differ. Censorship's probably the most common measure used in Singapore's new media. The Media Development Authority proves my point. Your comparison to the past only shows that new media is an added platform for parties to air their views.
BTW, i was talking about the people and non-politicians airing their views and NOT the parties!
Surely the ministers ain't on my Facebook.
The only reason why Singapore has to project the image of democracy is due to the capitalist ideology adopted from the USA. I don't understand what's the big deal about the government projecting a masked image. Is there anything wrong? If they do admit we're authouritarian, would anything change? Would the people get happier? No. They'll just kick a big fuss of the practice. So this isnt a problem to begin with.
Why do we need true democracy to advance? Is the USA advancing? Or do you see socialist China advancing? Not saying that we should be socialist of course, haha.
I doubt political awareness has been raised among singaporeans. Political awareness includes PROPER knowledge of politics. Guess your friends on facebook do show better understanding as compared to mine, hahaha.

Q: Does the incenter divide the triangle into a ratio of 2:1? I'm trying to get the radius of the circle.
First I use the Pythagorean theorem $13^2=5^2+x^2$ and $x=12$. Then I know the height of the triangle. To get the radius i use the Pythagorean theorem $r^2=5^2+(\frac{1}{3}\cdot12)^2$.
But here comes the problem, isn't the red part $\frac{1}{3}$ of the height, as the ratio of the incircle is $2:1$? My classmates don't agree, so who's right?
The triangle:

Edit: Is the black dot in the triangle the incenter or centroid?

A: The circumradius R can be found (if we let a,b,c be the sides and A=area) with the formula
$$R=\frac{abc}{4A}=\frac{10\cdot13\cdot13}{4(5\cdot12)}
=\frac{1690}{240}\approx 7.041666667$$
The "red" part of your diagram is then
$\quad 12-7.041666667=4.958333333\quad$
so the ratio is more like $\space7:5\space$ than $\space2:1.\space$ The eye views proportions incorrectly, often making lower "heights" appear greater than they are.
Here
and here
and here
are links discussing the circumcircle radius you seek and below is a picture.

Coalhouse Fort is an artillery fort built in the 1860s to guard the lower Thames from seaborne attack. It stands at Coalhouse Point in Essex on the north bank of the river, at a location near East Tilbury that was vulnerable to raiders and invaders. It was the last in a series of fortifications dating back to the 15th century and was the direct successor to a smaller mid-19th century fort built on the same site. Constructed during a period of tension with France, its location on marshy ground caused problems from the start and led to a lengthy construction process. The fort was equipped with a variety of large-calibre artillery guns and the most modern defensive facilities at the time, including shell-proof casemates protected by granite facing and cast-iron shields. However, its lengthy construction and the rapid pace of artillery development at the time meant that it was virtually obsolete for its original purpose within a few years of its completion.

Wendell Potter commentary
Published — June 15, 2015
For-profit hospitals mark up prices by more than 1,000 percent because there's nothing to stop them
Commentary: health facility charges run amok
Wendell Potter
If you think costs would come down if hospitals were all owned and operated by big for-profit corporations like Hospital Corporation of America, you might want to take a look at a study published last week by the journal Health Affairs.
Of the 50 U.S. hospitals that mark up prices the most, 49 of them are part of for-profit hospital chains, according to the study's authors, Ge Bai of Washington & Lee University and Gerard Anderson of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Using 2012 data provided by 4,483 hospitals to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Bai and Anderson found that those 50 had an average markup of 1,013 percent over what Medicare pays for the thousands of items on hospitals' "chargemasters." (Chargemasters are lists of all the items and services hospitals bill for. Hospitals set their own charges. Few states set any limits on what hospitals can charge.) That's almost three times the average markup at the other 4,433 hospitals. The average markup for all those other hospitals—most of them nonprofits—was 340 percent.
Of those high-markup 50, more than a fourth of them are owned and operated by Nashville-based Hospital Corporation of America (HCA). But with 14 hospitals on the list, HCA was just in second place. A full half of the top 50 are owned by HCA's biggest rival, Community Health Systems, a Franklin, Tennessee company that operates 199 hospitals in 29 states.
At the very top of the markup list was North Okaloosa Medical Center in Crestview, Florida. That hospital, in the Sunshine State's panhandle, had the distinction of marking up its costs an average of 1260 percent. The Atlantic's Olga Khazan took a look at North Okaloosa's markups. She found, for example, that the hospital charged $79,350 to treat a hemorrhage. That's compared to Medicare's reimbursement of $5,177.
As the authors noted in their Health Affairs article, "Collectively, this system (of giving hospitals free rein to mark up their costs) has the effect of charging the highest prices to the most vulnerable patients and those with the least market power." Those who are the most vulnerable, of course, are the uninsured and under-insured. Bai and Anderson pointed out that even when (or if) the Affordable Care Act is fully implemented, there will still be 30 million people without insurance. When those folks get sick or injured and wind up in the hospital, they'll be on the hook to pay whatever the hospitals decide to charge. This means that even with the ACA, thousands of families will still find themselves in bankruptcy court every year because of medical bills they can't possibly pay.
(Note to the uninsured: it's in your best interest to find out which hospitals near you are nonprofit and which ones are for-profit. And that's not just because the for-profits' markups are higher. The ACA requires nonprofit hospitals to provide discounts to eligible uninsured patients. There are no such requirements for for-profits.)
Most of the high-markup hospitals are in the South. And of the top 50, 20 are in for-profit-hospital-friendly Florida, whose governor is former HCA CEO Rick Scott.
Scott has a long history in the world of for-profit health care. When I worked for Humana in the early 1990s, the company decided to sell its hospital division, and Scott and one of his business partners at the time, David Vanderwater, bought them. Soon after that, Scott negotiated a merger with HCA and became the combined company's chief executive. He resigned from HCA in 1997 after the government launched an investigation into whether the company had committed Medicare fraud.
Two years before Humana decided to get out of the hospital business—and while I was on the public affairs team—the company was the subject of a series of investigative reports by ABC TV's Sam Donaldson. In 1991, Donaldson found that Humana's hospitals were charging patients several thousand percent more for medicines and other items than their actual cost. In one of his reports, he showed that Humana charged patients $143.25 for needles it bought for 80 cents—a markup of 17,806 percent.
One of Humana's executives at the time was Wayne Smith. Soon after Humana sold its hospitals, Smith became the company's president—and my boss. I was reporting to him when I left the company to join Cigna.
A few years later, Smith was named president of Community Health Services, the company that owns half of the high-markup 50.
Isn't it a small world?
When Bai and Anderson's study was published last Monday, Community Health Services shareholders apparently were spooked for a New York minute. The volume of shares traded that day was almost triple the volume the preceding Friday. The share price fell $1.39, to $52.76. By the end of the week, though, the share price had largely recovered. That's because very few states have any power to control hospital price markups. Only Maryland and West Virginia, in fact, set hospital rates. Bai and Anderson found that hospitals in Maryland had markups of less than 1.5 percent, lower than those of hospitals in any other state.
Community Health Services and HCA's shareholders might get worried if other states were to follow Maryland's lead. But considering the amount of money the hospital industry spends to influence campaigns and public policy, the chances of that happening are pretty slim.

I am delighted to say that the parliamentary debate held on 4th September was well attended by cross-party Members of Parliament supporting the campaign for a ban on the sales of puppies and kittens in pet shops.
Most MPs made comment to the unusually high number of constituents who had urged them to take part and fight our corner, and this is down to you. You should be proud of yourselves because, without you, this debate would not have had such strong MP support.
Throughout the debate, a united message was echoed by all MPs that we are a nation of animal lovers and it is disgraceful that puppy farming has been allowed to flourish throughout our country.
MP's raised a multitude of issues that surround puppy farming: the development of heath and behavioural problems due to mistreatment and inbreeding; inhumane welfare conditions; premature weaning; high emotional and financial costs to puppy owners; income tax evasion; over population; and the contribution to the dangerous dog problem.
There were also many arguments put forward as to why a ban should be implemented on the sale of puppies and kittens in pet shops. MPs highlighted that pet shops are known to buy their 'stock' from puppy farms, both in the UK and Eastern Europe, enabling puppy farming to flourish and the possible introduction of rabies and other diseases from abroad. As such, many puppies bought from pet shops are affected by health and behavioural issues, plus pet shops are widely known to encourage impulse purchases, both resulting in subsequent abandonment.
MPs also highlighted that puppy farmers are undercutting responsible and ethical breeders, and third party retailers are fooling the public into believing their puppies are bred responsibly when they're not.
A comparison was drawn between choosing a puppy from a pet shop as if they are a commodity, and the rigorous rehoming process involved in purchasing a dog from a rescue centre or reputable breeder. Rob Flello MP warned that without intervention, Britain is at risk of becoming a nation that perceives "disposable pets" as acceptable.
A number of MPs highlighted the limited resources available to local authorities for effectively enforcing the existing dog breeding legislation. As such, the public have little faith in the licensing and inspection process.
MPs offered a range of solutions for the Minister, George Eustice, to consider. Many MPs were in agreement that a ban alone on the sale of puppies and kittens from pet shops will not be a panacea to the problem of puppy farming, but would be a good starting point. Any new legislation or modernisation of the existing legislation would need to be backed up by cultural change that demands a multifaceted programme involving the collaboration of the government, local authorities, animal welfare groups, vets, and the puppy breeding and vending industry itself.
There was strong support for a public awareness campaign to teach the public how to recognise a breeder as ethical and know what questions to ask; ultimately supporting Pup Aid's "Where's Mum?" campaign. MPs highlighted the importance of changes to consumer behaviour, informing of them best practices and helping them to become self-regulated.
There was also strong support for the government to supply local authorities with resources to help them better enforce the dog breeding regulations and bring consistency throughout the country. Random unannounced inspections were recommended, with a zero tolerance to any violation of the laws. One MP recommended a survey be carried out to all local authorities in order to ascertain where the system is failing and how it can be remedied. Some MPs commented on their local authority's good practices and the importance of dissemination of helpful information to other local authorities. Ultimately, MPs all recognised the need for the licensing and inspection regime to be refreshed and improved, with well-trained enforcement officers that the public can have faith in to stamp out cruel practices and only license reputable breeders.
As in all good debates, there were a couple of MPs who did not support the ban on the sale of puppies and kittens from pet shops. The reason being that it would encourage people to gravitate towards online purchases instead of using licensed pet shops that are subject to inspections.
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Farming, Food and the Marine Environment, George Eustice concluded the debate with an agreement that existing legislation could be improved.
In an effort to prevent the spread of disease entering the UK and the importation of unhealthy puppies, he stated that as of December 2014, a new regulation will be enforced that requires all puppies to be 12 weeks or older before they can be vaccinated. It then requires puppies to remain in residence for a further 3 weeks before it can be transported, which means that any imported puppies will be properly assessed for disease and at least 15 weeks of age before they can enter the country.
Mr Eustice was pleased to announce that since the government's collaboration with the Pet Advertising Advisory Group (PAAG) to create a voluntary code on moderating adverts in early 2014, over 100,000 online adverts have been removed.
The Minister promised to see that all local authorities would receive guidance on legislation to inform them of the proper interpretation of the 'five litter threshold'. It is widely believed that a licence is only required for people who breed five or more litters a year. However, regardless of the number of litters bred, if someone wishes to sell puppies they require a licence.
Mr Eustice clarified that local authorities do have the power to restrict which animals can be sold in pet shops. The Pet Animals Act 1951 allows flexibility for local authorities to judge on a case-by-case basis, depending on the suitability of each premises to keep particular animals.
Mr Eustice agreed with Mr Robinson MP that existing regulations can be worked with. As part of that process, he revealed that a 50-page document on model licence conditions were published in January 2014 and made available to all local authorities. The recommendations include standards of conditions required for a dog-breeding licence to be granted, including provisions for social interaction. Also, in September 2013, a document on model conditions for pet vending was published that also include social interaction provisions; stating that at least four times a day puppies should receive socialisation with a human for at least 20 minutes.
Mr Eustice concluded his speech by saying that local authorities should use the internet to identify where they have a problem. The new code, developed by the Pet Advertising Advisory Group, states that all licenced breeders should include their licence details on all advertisements in order to highlight those trading without a licence number.
In response, Rob Flello pointed out that the Minister made some good points, but they didn't address the "where's mum?" issue and the fact puppies are separated from their mum too early, which were central to the debate and the reason pet shops should not be allowed to sell puppies or kittens.
On a lighter side, MPs took delight in mentioning their own pets' names during their speeches, securing their legacy in the parliament's historical records, Hansard.
