Why are Red Roses a Valentine's Favourite?
Valentine's Day and red roses go hand-in-hand, as lovers everywhere give symbols of their affection to their significant other on February 14th each year.
The floristry industry enjoys a massive boost every year, with an estimated £262 million being spent on flowers in the UK alone. Around three-quarters of British men send flowers to their loved one on Valentine's Day, with the favourite bloom being long-stemmed red roses.

Why send flowers?
In order to understand the tradition of giving flowers on Valentine's Day (particularly red roses), we must go back to 18th-century Sweden when the custom began. Each type of flower was designated a special meaning, so it was possible to send bouquets containing a non-verbal message.
In an era when letters were the only form of written communication, and when strict social rules applied to romance and courting, people were able to have an intimate conversation solely by sending flowers. This practice was known as floriography.
Flowers have different meanings, according to floriography, with red roses symbolising love. Other flowers included a mixed bouquet of pink lilies and white freesia, signifying you were romantically interested in the other person but unsure if they felt the same way.
An arrangement of daisies would signify a loving friendship, rather than a relationship where Cupid's arrow had struck.
In addition to red roses being the flower of love and romance, other roses have various meanings: pink roses symbolise grace and the sender's appreciation of the recipient, yellow roses mean friendship and white roses present the beauty of innocence.
Red tulips are also a declaration of true love, white carnations mean the recipient is "sweet and lovely" and pink carnations mean, "I'll never forget you."
A bouquet of lavender is a message of devotion, daffodils signal a new beginning (hence they may be ideal for a new relationship) and magenta lilacs symbolise passion. If you send peonies on Valentine's Day, ensure your intentions are serious, as they symbolise marriage.
Legend of Aphrodite
The red rose signified romantic love, hence it evolved into the main type of flower sent on Valentine's Day. The rose had this meaning because of its association with Aphrodite, the goddess of love. In Ancient Greek mythology, it was said that rose bushes sprung up through the ground after Aphrodite cried.
The legend of Aphrodite and her lover, Adonis, is one of the most popular in Greek mythology. Not even the gods could escape when the god of love, Eros, struck with his bow and arrow - the origin of Cupid's arrow. It was said that Aphrodite fell in love with the mortal Adonis.
However, the Greek god of war, Ares, was jealous when he found out Aphrodite had feelings for the handsome human. Adonis was a hunter and Aphrodite asked him to give up the dangerous sport, but he enjoyed it too much. While out chasing a wild boar one day, the animal killed him, but it was really Ares, who had transformed into animal form to end Adonis' life.
It was said that in every spot where Aphrodite's tears mingled with Adonis' blood on the ground, a red rose bush sprang through the earth and began to grow - hence the legend of red roses being associated with true love began.
The Ancient Romans, whose own goddess of love was Venus, also recognised red rose as a symbol of love. In modern times, when Valentine's Day became the celebration of love and romance that we know today, the red rose became the choice as the most romantic of gifts.
Origins of the rose
In terms of evolution, the rose is actually millions of years old. Fossil evidence dates its origins to 35 million years ago. A member of the genus Rosa, the rose has evolved into around 150 different species today.
They grow all over the world: they spread across the northern hemisphere, from Mexico to Alaska, taking in northern Africa. During Ancient Roman times, roses grew in the wild throughout the Middle East.
In the UK, they are a popular plant for domestic garden cultivation. This practice began in China around 5,000 years ago, as roses grew mainly in the wild prior to this. During the time of the Roman Empire, roses' popularity grew and public rose gardens were cultivated, mostly in the south of Rome.
Throughout the ages, roses have been used as confetti, to make perfume and for medicinal purposes, as well as being given as gifts to loved ones.
The rose has even been a symbol of war in modern history. In the 15th century, different factions were fighting to gain control of England, in what became known as the Wars of the Roses. Two rival branches of the royal family, the House of Lancaster and the House of York, fought for control of the nation.
The House of Lancaster was associated with a red rose and the House of York's symbol was the white rose. The civil wars raged on between 1455 and 1487, until the final victory saw a descendant of the Lancastrian factor, Henry Tudor, ascend to the throne of England as Henry VII.
Today, Yorkshire and Lancashire are still known as the white rose and red rose counties respectively.
Cultivated roses
In the late 18th century, cultivated roses finally became more widespread across Europe, after being introduced from China. Most roses today are linked genetically to the Chinese roses from this era.
Roses bloomed repeatedly, making them extremely interesting to hybridisers, who researched breeding the plants and began mixing the species to make them hardier, creating a longer blooming season.
The early research of the plant breeders remains of great interest to gardeners today, as it created many of the species that we know and love in Britain's gardens. Roses never go out of popularity, as they fit the demands of modern lifestyles.
People like plants that are not too demanding, that look beautiful when they flower and that are hardy in winter. Plants that are resistant to disease and fit well into borders, shrubs and perennial gardens are also very popular. Roses fit the bill on every count and they are an enjoyable addition to any garden.
Over the Valentine's period, the UK sees a massive boom in the sale of roses - and in particular red roses. An additional 250 million extra roses are supplied for Valentine's Day. The average cost of a bouquet containing 12 red roses is around £32.
It's usually a man buying a bouquet of roses for a loved one - 75% of Valentine's roses are bought by men, according to the Ipsos-Insight Floral Trends consumer survey. Of all the flowers bought as Valentine's Day presents, 43% are red roses.
Most men who buy roses are giving them to their wife, while the women who buy roses are often giving them to their mother or daughter, as a sign of their love and appreciation.
Around 40% of the Valentine's roses are imported from overseas. This is mainly because the winter climate of February makes it difficult for UK suppliers to meet the massive demand. The world's top flower producers are the Netherlands, Ecuador and Colombia.
Giving 12 red roses signifies passionate love, while giving three red roses symbolises those three little words: "I love you."
Although the romance of the special day spells big business for florists, Valentine's Day ranks only third on the list of holidays which prompt the largest number of flower sales. Christmas remains number one on the list, with Mother's Day second.

Q: Getting the app list from the SD Card while booting I made a custom launcher and using this method to retrieve list of applications in my device:
public class myThread extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, String> {

    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(Void... Params) {
        PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
        Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN, null);
        i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);

        List<ResolveInfo> allApps = pm.queryIntentActivities(i, 0);
        for(ResolveInfo ri:allApps) {
            AppInfo app = new AppInfo();
            app.label = ri.loadLabel(pm);
            app.packageName = ri.activityInfo.packageName;
            app.activityName = ri.activityInfo.name;
            app.icon = ri.activityInfo.loadIcon(pm);
            adapter.addApp(app);
        }
        return "Success";
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
        super.onPostExecute(result);
        Collections.sort(adapter.getAppsList(),new ActivityNameComparator());
        updateStuff();
    }

The task is executed in the main activity onCreate() Opening this launcher when the phone is on gives no issue. I got all applications in both internal storage and SD card. The issue comes when I reboot my device. There is some applications that lost from the list. I then realized that those applications are those which are saved in my SD Card.Are there any way to get apps in SD card after rebooting? Or is there a better approach to get applications list for custom launcher?

US Swimmer tested positive for drug at centre of Russian doping scandal
The swimmer, Madisyn Cox, tested positive for the drug trimetazidine that is at the centre of the Kamila Valieva scandal at Beijing 2022. Cox was the fourth swimmer, at the University of Texas, to face a doping case between 2017 and 2019. One was a minor.
BY EDMUND WILLISON
A US swimmer tested positive for the same drug that the 15-year old Russian figure skating sensation Kamila Valieva was caught for at the ongoing Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. The American athlete is one of four University of Texas swimmers to have committed an anti-doping rule violation between 2017 and 2019. While concerns have been raised that Valieva is a victim of child doping, one of the Texas swimmers was also a minor.
There are, as in Russia, other instances of concentrated doping cases at top US swimming training sites, such as at the University of Southern California, where its head coach has had seven of his swimmers, including both Russians and Americans, test positive for banned drugs.
But while Russian athletes have, quite rightly, in light of proof of its state-run doping system, faced little lenience when it comes to the presumption of innocence, as seen in Beijing this past week, US athletes have faced far less scrutiny.
This past Friday, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced that the 15-year old Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva tested positive for trimetazidine in December 2021. The Russian Anti-Doping Agency allowed Valieva to compete at Beijing 2022 despite knowing of her positive test. Valieva then put on a marvellous gold medal winning performance in the team figure skating event. The team now faces disqualification.
Trimetazidine is a medication used to treat heart conditions that also increases blood flow efficiency and increases endurance. It has been prohibited for use at all-times by the World Anti-Doping Agency since 2016.
It has emerged that trimetazidine was found in Russian athletes' hotel rubbish bins in 2006. Dr. Grigory Rodchenkov, the corrupt former Moscow anti-doping laboratory director, has revealed that he was asked to cover up positive trimetazidine drug tests as part of the state's doping regime in the lead up to Sochi 2014.
The revelations that the drug was administered to athletes as part of Russia's state-run doping regime renews scrutiny over a doping case from 2018 involving the US swimmer Madisyn Cox.
In February 2018, Cox, a 2017 World Championship gold medallist, also tested positive for trimetazidine in an out-of-competition test in Austin, Texas.
In 2014, the Chinese swimmer, and Bond super villain, Sun Yang, also failed a doping test for trimetazidine. The positive was widely considered as evidence that Yang had been engaging in organised doping.
At her disciplinary tribunal, Cox, and her lawyers, argued that she had ingested the substance through the municipal water supply in Austin. The International Swimming Federation (FINA) panel rejected this reasoning.
On appeal, Cox changed her defence and, instead, successfully argued that she consumed trimetazidine through contaminated supplements. The Court of Arbitration for Sport reduced her drugs ban from two years to six months.
The company, like Cox based in Texas, that manufactured the supplements, Cooper Complete Elite Athlete multivitamin, that were contaminated with trimetazidine, is owned by a renowned doctor called Kenneth Cooper. Dr. Cooper was selected by the US Olympic Committee to be a torch bearer at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. While Texas Ford Aquatics club, that has a USA Swimming team, and another masters swim club, set up by Jerry Heidenreich, who won four medals at the 1972 Munich Olympics, have been based in the company's sports facilities.

Cox's contamination case is allegedly the first recorded case of trimetazidine supplement contamination. Trimetazidine contamination is so rare because the drug is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is not widely prescribed in the US.
While Cox was cleared, on the balance of probabilities, of advertent use, she is actually the fourth University of Texas swimmer to have been charged with an anti-doping rule violation between 2017 and 2019.
William Licon took the the prohibited asthma drug vilanterol while Matthew Willenbring, a 17-year old, and Grace Ariola were both caught for the diuretic hydrochlorothiazide that can be used to mask the presence of other banned drugs.
The Willenbring and Ariola cases were near identical. Just one year apart.
They both argued medication they were taking was the source of the drug. They were both teenagers. They were both on the same USA Junior swim team. They both tested positive during summer training in advance of their freshman year at the University of Texas. And they both received minor punishments; Willenbring received a four-month ban and Ariola a public warning.
Matthew Willenbring (centre) and Grace Ariola (second left) together on the USA Swimming junior squad in 2018.
Willenbring was just 17 years old. Allegations of child doping, as heard at the Beijing Olympics this week, there were not.
Instead, all four swimmers were cleared, again only on the balance of probabilities, of intentional drug use.
This spate of positives, down in Texas, serves as a reminder just how differently doping cases are treated depending on whether an athlete is from East or West. There has been international uproar, albeit understandably, over the Kamila Valieva case at Beijing 2022.
At Rio 2016, the Russian Swimmer Yuliya Efimova was branded a drugs cheat by America's Lily King despite Efimova's own 2013 doping case, like Cox, actually "officially" also being a case of inadvertent use.
King's condemnation was made all the more ironic by the fact that Efimova was US-based and that her coach Dave Salo, at the University of Southern California, has seen seven of his swimmers fail doping tests (Kicker Vencill, Jessica Hardy, Mads Glaesner, Omar Pinzon, Ous Mellouli, Nikita Lobintsev and Efimova).

The international warfare that has ensued since the Russian doping system was exposed in 2014, is not solely a consequence of the universal, unrelenting fight for clean sport. If it were all doping cases would be treated equally. Rather, the political gesturing of the last eight years is better understood in the context that Russia's state doping system is as much a threat to other country's medals tables as it is to clean sport.
Which one athletes and governing bodies care about more is sometimes hard to tell.
But as Chuck Wielgus, the USA Swimming director, put it before the Athens 2004 Olympics, "It's become increasingly difficult for us to maintain that position as the no. 1-ranked swimming team in the world."
The Russian state doping scandal has made it even harder.

This photo shows election propaganda for Austrian far-right politician Udo Landbauer of the FPÖ party. The slogan on the poster says, translated: New force for OUR fatherland!
Today, there is news about him.
In Austria, scandal has arisen about FPÖ [racist party in the present right-wing Austrian coalition government] politician Udo Landbauer. At the student fraternity where he was vice-chairman, anti-Semitic songs are sung.
The Viennese newspaper Falter received the songbook of student society Germania.
The Nazis murdered 6 million Jews in the Second World War and about 5 million other people [a very conservative estimate], including Roma and Sinti and disabled people. In other songs Hitler's conquests, the Wehrmacht [Hitler's armed forces] and the Waffen-SS are glorified.
A gooky Chinaman stepped into their midst. We too are Indo-Germans and want to join the Waffen-SS.
Landbauer (31) has been a member of the 'Burschenschaft' (traditional German student association) Germania for sixteen years, but denies that he ever saw this song. President Alexander Van der Bellen does not believe him. "The members must have known what is in that songbook", he says.
Austrian police have searched Wednesday evening at the association and seized nineteen songbooks. It is being investigated whether anyone can be prosecuted because of incitement.
The Austrian Interior Minister Herbert Kickl, also FPÖ, has said that he virtually excludes any prosecution of Landbauer. The opposition has responded with anger. "In a democracy, the Public Prosecution Service carries out the investigation, not the minister", said politician Max Lercher (SPÖ).
In Austria, a coalition of the conservative ÖVP and the right-wing populist ['populist' is a wrong term by journalists too scared to use more correct terms like 'racist'] FPÖ has been ruling since mid-December. The FPÖ was founded by former Nazis and came into the news with various Nazi scandals. These are always dismissed by the party as exceptional cases. Also from national party leader Strache photos surfaced in uniform and between neo-Nazis.

4. November will be big for us. Play all NFC north teams.
5. Last potential cold game is early Dec in Seattle.
6. Last 3 games are in domes
Rattle Jimmy G????
Haaaaa! Good one..........Seriously though, not that happy we have to start at your place week 1. Almost surely looks like a loss, but it will be a good test for our offense going up against a top 3 defense.

errr.... Top 3...?
Here are seven observations on what's ahead for the Vikings in 2018.
1. Early trip to Lambeau
The Vikings have played at Green Bay in either Week 16 or Week 17 in each of the past three seasons. In 2018, that changes. For the first time since 2008, the Vikings have a September date with the Packers at Lambeau Field. The Vikings play at Green Bay in Week 2 this year, with kickoff set for noon Sunday. In case anyone is counting, the Vikings have won four of the past five in this series and have claimed two of the past three division titles.
2. Six national broadcasts
The Vikings are scheduled to play in four prime-time games and in two additional games that will be broadcast nationally. The four prime-time games consist of Sunday Night Football games at U.S. Bank Stadium against New Orleans in Week 8 and Green Bay in Week 12, along with a Thursday Night Football game at the Los Angeles Rams in Week 4 and a Monday Night Football game at the Seattle Seahawks in Week 14. The other two games scheduled for prominent time slots are the Week 5 rematch of the NFC Championship at Philadelphia (3:25 p.m. CT on FOX) and the Week 13 contest at New England (3:25 p.m. CT on FOX). Flex scheduling could increase or decrease these numbers.
3. Two of three at home to open and close season
There's no place like home. The Vikings are 12-4 in two seasons at U.S. Bank Stadium, and they'll look to bolster that mark in 2018 by starting and finishing strong at home. The Vikings begin the season with two of three games at home (San Francisco in Week 1 and Buffalo in Week 3) and close the season with two of three games at home (Miami in Week 15 and Chicago in Week 17).
4. Bye Week before back-to-back division tests
A stretch of back-to-back division games always constitutes an important and tough part of a schedule. The Vikings have that scenario twice in 2018, with the first occurrence coming in Week 11 and Week 12. The good news is the Vikings have a Week 10 bye, meaning they'll have some extra time to rest and recuperate before traveling to Soldier Field and hosting the Packers in back-to-back weeks. The second back-to-back division game stretch for the Vikings is at the end of the season when they travel to Detroit in Week 16 and then host the Bears in Week 17; it's the third consecutive season in which the Vikings have hosted Chicago in Week 17.
5. Tough environments after the bye
Challenging weather environments potentially dot the Vikings post-bye schedule. Road dates at Chicago on Nov. 18 (Week 11), at New England on Dec. 2 (Week 13) and at Seattle on Dec. 10 (Week 14) create potential for bad weather. The holidays/days of remembrance in the past two football seasons have been Vikings-inclusive. In 2016, the Vikings played on 9/11, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and New Year's Day. Last season, the Vikings played on 9/11, Thanksgiving and New Year's Eve. It's a different story in 2018, as the Vikings have no games on any of those occasions. But the schedule makers did provide a good little Thanksgiving weekend treat, with the Vikings-Packers game at U.S. Bank Stadium scheduled for the Sunday night after Turkey Day.
7. Five Games in December
Everyone loves December football, and there will be lots of it for the Vikings. There are five games in December for the Vikings – at New England, at Seattle, versus Miami, at Detroit and vs. Chicago. Three of them are on the road, two of them are scheduled for national broadcasts and all of them are crucial coming down the stretch.

Break up the solid blocks of colour around a room with a feature wall, or introduce a pattern to suit your decor. Whichever you choose, wallpaper is making a comeback in a big way, and Competitive Painters can provide wallpaper hanging with the same attention to detail and quality end results that we bring to our painting.
"Why is it we only make mistakes with the expensive wallpaper?" Too often people call us after they have had a go wallpapering themselves, and realised it's harder than it looks. Then we have to peel back the first wallpapering attempt before we can prepare the surface and make a start.
Save yourself all that time, money and stress by getting your wallpaper hung right, first time. If you have a pattern in mind, great! Provide us with your choice of wallpaper and we'll get the job done. If you're not sure what you would like, Competitive Painters can recommend a number of patterns and designs to suit the colour schemes and decor of your home.
You can only achieve a high-quality paint finish when you start with a well-prepared surface. Before painting or hanging wallpaper, we will plaster and stop your walls, including corners and around the skirting boards, so your paint or wallpaper will simply glide onto the surface.
Each room will have the wallpaper stripped, cracks plastered, walls sanded off and everything vacuumed up, before the painters and decorators arrive. This is just one way we can keep your renovation or redecoration project on time, and on budget.
We can give you a reasonable idea of what's expected to plaster and prepare your walls during our in-home consultation.
Our team are more than happy to discuss and advise on the best paint finish for each area of your property. If you like, we can supply colour charts for you to consider. Our goal is for you to love your home, and to be completely satisfied with the end result.

Why do people treat the word 'Jew' as an insult?
From anonymous radical-right xenophobes in Britain came the call to make April 3 "Punish a Muslim Day." Letters were sent to addresses across England, calling for violent attacks on Muslims. Police were on alert, and women who wear the hijab were advised to stay home. There were also reports that some of the letters had arrived in New York, causing the city's Muslim community to mobilize and the NYPD to beef up security. Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams joined multi-faith leaders to condemn the threats. His comments were laudable in intent, but revealing in their wording: "Our message must be just as loud. Not punish a Muslim, let's embrace a Muslim, let's embrace a Christian, let's embrace a person of Jewish faith…" Why has the word "Jew" become taboo, and especially in progressive circles?

Podcast: Politics of the Second Amendment
In Episode Four of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg makes the case that the Second Amendment is a non-grammatical muddle of obfuscation—because the issue was just as contentious in 1789 as it is today, and the Framers fudged it. That's why both the "gun control" and "gun rights" advocates can claim they have the correct interpretation—as they each advocate solutions that, in their own way, escalate the police state. In the wake of the latest school massacre, youth activists are pressing the issue, and this is long overdue. But the discussion that needs to be had would explore the social and cultural roots of this peculiarly American pathology. Listen on SoundCloud, and support us via Patreon.
Anti-Semitic threats and 'false flags'
Are the "false flag" theories about the anti-Semitic threats vindicated by the bust of a left-wing ex-journo? No, because exploiting anti-Semitism to score points is still anti-Semitic.
30,000 (Ahmadiyya) Muslims march against terror
The 30,000 Muslims who marched against extremism in London were followers of the Ahmadiyya sect—a dissident current in Islam persecuted by the orthodox Sunni.
Orlando massacre in propaganda wars
In the wake of the Orlando massacre, the left blames homophobia while the right blames Islam—both sides ignoring the obvious reality of homophobia rooted in political Islam.
Iran sentences filmmaker for 'insulting sanctities'
An Iranian court sentenced filmmaker Keywan Karimi to prison for "insulting sanctities"—a charge stemming from his documentary on political graffiti in post-revolution Iran.

Chapo Guzmán was apparently tracked down and apprehended after Mexican authorities intercepted his communications with Sean Penn and other show-biz heavies.
Another day, another massacre…
Was the San Bernardino attack politically motivated terrorism or just someone's personal revenge? Either way, pundits right and left are going to be squirming…
In the wake of the latest campus shoot-up, calls are raised for pre-emptive restraint on the "mentally ill," but it is verboten to ask why so many people are driven to this pathology.

Magical Mahogany: A Personal Encounter With One Of Singapore's Most Commonly Seen Trees
Francis Lim weaves a fascinating story of the mahogany tree by blending together selected scientific facts with a rich concoction of medicinal folklore as well as elements like personal encounters, field studies and observations, experiments, and discoveries about the life and times of one of the world's best-known tropical hardwood tree, the mahogany.
The result is an endearing and engaging account of many aspects of this incredibly resilient and useful tree, including: the historical roots, botanical features like fruit reproduction and seed dispersal, traditional medicinal folklore, pests and diseases as well as a section on making handicrafts from parts of the fruit.
The story is passionately told and illustrated with more than 120 photographs. It will enhance our understanding and appreciation of the mahogany tree and of all trees in general.
This is Francis Lim's second book on a local nature subject, after The Singapore Mistletoe Story: An Expose Of A Botanical Marvel. Magical Mahogany: A Personal Encounter With One Of Singapore's Most Commonly Seen Trees can be purchased here.
Francis Lim Leong Keng started his career as an animal-keeper in the Singapore Zoo way back in 1972 at the age of seventeen years. He was to remain with the zoo for over three and a half decades. His expertise and passion for reptiles is recognized by his contemporaries. In particular, Francis scored a distinction in the City & Guilds Certificate in Animal Management in 1998. He has been regarded as one of the few pioneers who have distinguished themselves throughout the zoo's development and his contributions helped make the Singapore Zoo what it is today – a global leader amongst zoos.
An advocate for nature education and conservation, Francis has published a number of scientific papers and articles in journals and magazines as well as several books, including Fascinating Snakes of Southeast Asia: An introduction; A Guide to the Amphibians and Reptiles of Singapore; and Tales and Scales.
His achievements also include local and regional outreach programmes to create awareness and understanding for wildlife. He decided to retire in mid-2010 so as to pursue his own interests and has since gone on the path to champion all sorts of invertebrates – the creepy crawlies now has a voice to speak up for them. Now aged sixty, he has not stopped loving animals and nature and spends his time on writing, photography, mistletoe-spotting, and doing poetry workshops for kids, among other things.
His curiosity about plants, specifically mistletoes, led to the publication of his latest book in 2011, entitled The Singapore Mistletoe Story: An Expose of a Botanical Marvel. It reads like a botanical novel, in which he chronicles his adventures and travels all over Singapore to find and study the eight species of native mistletoes, a number of which are critically endangered.
Francis Lim's other recent book was Once a Zookeeper: A Collection of Personal Poems, which is poetry uncaged, and in which he illustrates and anthropomorphizes the animals with easy-to-read prose. His experiences with the many animals that he has encountered over the years – both the large and small ones – enabled him to paint them with his creative imagination. Francis hopes to share his passion for animals and nature through poetry readings with all.

Mosquitos And Singapore
We are pleased to announce the publication of Mosquitos And Singapore, a memoir by Ted Wilkins.
This memoir covers the three years in the 1950s during which a young RAF serviceman was called up for National Service and transported to Singapore from war-torn and rationed England for a "tour of duty" on 81 Photographic Squadron at Seletar Airbase in Singapore.
Based on diaries, notes and letters written at the time, Ted Wilkins describes life on the Squadron and the aerial survey work concerning the "terrorists" during the Malayan Emergency. His autobiography also captures all the flavours and excitement of life on this fantastic island during the early fifties. Reminisces include a Malayan wedding, a visit to the Tiger Balm gardens, the Mosque at Johor Bahru and a picnic trip to adjacent islands. Through these pages, the author warmly describes how he embraced the customs and livelihoods of the island's pleasant, always smiling people.
Written in a humble manner, this book brings to life all the excitement of exploring a new and fascinating country, so far removed from the author's previous country life at home. The climate, the people, all the hustle and bustle, the flowers, the clothes and colours of this "magical glamorous island", are all lovingly captured in a remarkable way.
About Ted Wilkins
Ted Wilkins was born at Ruishton nr Taunton. His family moved to West Chinnock, then Bridgwater and finally to the small country town of Crewkerne in Somerset. Educated first at St Bartholomews School and after passing the Eleven Plus exam, he moved on to Crewkerne Grammar School where he attained his School Certificate.
Ted joined the Air Training Corps and upon leaving school, joined Westland Aircraft Ltd as an apprentice aircraft engineer. He became involved in many activities in the town, playing cricket for the Town club and winning the Area Cup doing Amateur Dramatics but all this was interrupted when he was called up for National Service. Not ever having been out of Somerset this became a real adventure as he suddenly found himself posted to the other side of the world, to Singapore. There, he joined the elite 81 Squadron who were busy doing aerial surveys of the Far East as well as being involved in Operation Fire Dog.
When demobbed, he returned to Westlands, but then left for Blackbushe to work for Airworks, a civil aviation firm. Returning once more to Crewkerne he changed to the upcoming plastics industry and studied at Yeovil Technical College as well as becoming an active member of The Royal Observer Corps. He joined Peter Hodge and Associates as their site engineer and became responsible for overseeing the production and erection of cladding panels on such challenging buildings as Mondial House in London, the Radio Chemical Centre at Cardiff and the American Express Headquarters in Brighton.
Lastly, he joined W&J Tod Ltd, the well known glass/fibre boat builders. Here he was instrumental in the introduction of new production techniques using autoclaves and pre-impregnated woven fabrics for use in aviation products. He retired from W&J Tod Ltd after having suffered a stroke.

A Quest for Dance: The Life and Times of Singapore Dance Pioneer K.P. Bhaskar
We are pleased to announce the publication of A Quest for Dance: The Life and Times of Singapore Dance Pioneer K.P. Bhaskar, an autobiography of the late Krishna Pillay Bhaskar, founder of Bhaskar's Arts Academy, Singapore's premiere institution for Indian performing arts. The book is edited by C.M. Wong and N. Nedumaran.
This is a story about a true dance pioneer in Singapore. Not only was K.P. Bhaskar a genuine pioneer within the island nation's Indian classical dance scene, he also witnessed and participated in seminal episodes that helped shape the overall performing arts landscape in Singapore.
There were few in Singapore who dedicated their lives to the preservation, practice and promotion of the Indian dance arts with as much passion, perseverance and dignity, and sustained it over a longer period of time, than K.P. Bhaskar.
Affectionately known as "Uncle" to his legion of students and to many in the arts community, he stood out as an outstanding example of how a personal voyage of artistic self-discovery inadvertently created a legacy, in the country that he chose to call home.

Faith, Authority And The Malays: The Ulama in Contemporary Singapore
We are pleased to announce the publication of Faith, Authority and the Malays: The Ulama in Contemporary Singapore, from the Singapore Malays: Our Heritage and Legacy series, co-published with The Malay Heritage Foundation.
About the Singapore Malays: Our Heritage and Legacy series
Existing books, references and research papers focusing on the Malay community in Singapore are often written from an outsider's point of view looking in. Publications by Singaporean Malays about the socio-historical development of the Malay community in Singapore are still few and far between.
The Singapore Malays: Our Heritage and Legacy series aspires to bridge that gap by publishing a series of books that will encourage introspection and reflection on our social history and culture in a more in-depth manner.
The titles in this series are purposely varied to include topics on culture and the arts, social history and cultural development, trends in religious practices and socio-economic life, and the spirit of enterprise of the Malay community in Singapore. This is to allow different perspectives and unique insights into the everyday lived-experiences and collective memories of our community to be brought forth. Each writer will analyse the various challenges faced by the Malay community in Singapore, from the nineteenth century to contemporary times, using his or her own lens and world view, supported by intensive research.
We hope that the series will inspire further reflections, and deepen our understanding and appreciation of our heritage and our contribution to Singapore's development as a nation.
About Faith, Authority and the Malays: The Ulama in Contemporary Singapore
This book examines the nature of religious life among the Malays of Singapore by researching into the nature of religious elite and the basis of their authority or legitimacy. It examines the social-historical background of the ulama, their family roots, education, career paths, elements of thinking, and various forms of contribution towards enriching the religious lives of the Malays. While furnishing useful information on the institutionalization and administration of Islam in contemporary Singapore, the author raises many pertinent questions on the religious lives of the Malays and Muslims in contemporary Singapore, as well as their relations with the wider world of Islam and Muslims elsewhere.

As a former English major who loves the humanities and believes they are crucially important to the future of the American project, it pains me to watch their steady decline on campuses nationwide.
Administrators, elected officials, journalists, and parents of college-age children — anyone missing from that list? The professors themselves, of course. Emory University English professor Mark Bauerlein noticed this omission and didn't like it. He responded with a fine piece explaining the role that liberal-arts faculty members have played in diminishing their own courses and fields.
Nothing gets them excited like intersectionality does. King Lear doesn't galvanize them, but the politics of one transgression or another certainly does. When I began in English as a sophomore in 1980, the teachers I had and the scholars I read argued furiously over how to interpret "Ode on a Grecian Urn." Today, only sociopolitical issues generate the same ardor in the liberal arts. Among the professorate, the significance of Keats just isn't very interesting.
To be sure, there are plenty of additional reasons the humanities are in decline. But humanities professors could help stop or reverse this trend if they embraced a more traditional curriculum focused on celebrating the great works of Western civilization.

Portland parks, transportation workers move to strike next week
Updated: Feb. 01, 2023, 1:16 p.m. |
Published: Jan. 24, 2023, 4:12 p.m.
Shane Dixon Kavanaugh | The Oregonian/OregonLive
Hundreds of Portland parks and transportation workers are planning to walk off their jobs next week with city leaders and a public employee union at an impasse in contract negotiations.
Laborers' Local 483 notified the city Monday that its workers will go on strike starting Feb. 2, James O'Laughlen, a field representative and organizer for the union, told The Oregonian/OregonLive.
The impasse stems largely over cost-of-living increases as rising inflation continues to take a bite out of workers' pay, O'Laughlen said.
"We just need a contract that allows our members to capture the wages they need to live in the community they serve," he said.
With about 615 members, Local 483 represents just under 10% of the city's workforce. They include people who work on sewers, clean and maintain city parks and repair roads and sidewalks, along with other jobs sprinkled across several bureaus. Parks employees who staff swim lessons and community centers are not among the union members headed toward a strike.
The union's contract expired last summer and bargaining has been underway since March, O'Laughlen said.
In a statement Tuesday, city officials said they've proposed a new 4-year, $39 million contract that would include a 12% wage increase for all union members by July. Half of that wage increase — or 6% — would come from a 5% retroactive cost-of-living increase, the maximum increase currently allowed, and 1% retroactive pay raise.
Local 483, however, says it wants the city to remove the existing 5% cost-of-living cap from its next contract and instead tie cost-of-living adjustments directly to inflation. The union has also proposed a 3.5% across-the-board raise for its members, whose most recent cost-of-living raise was 1.6%.
Annual inflation surpassed 7% in 2021 and averaged about 6.5% last year.

Bobby Golden, Mississippi Agriculture and Forestry Experiment Station agronomist in Stoneville, said harvest is going well on the portion of the crop that is ready.
The majority of the crop will be harvested later in September, and some fields will be ready as late as mid-October, Golden said.
The USDA's most recent survey estimated growers planted 167,000 acres in 2014, up from 122,000 acres in 2013. Forecasted yields are around 7,000 pounds per acre.
Brian Williams, Extension agricultural economist, said the ongoing harvest is pushing rice prices down.
Louisiana rough rice is trading for $12.59 per hundredweight, about $2.50 per hundredweight less than in 2013. September rice futures are trading for $12.52, down about $2.30 from 2013.
Researchers constantly work to provide the state's growers with the best recommendations for producing crops. Ed Redona, MAFES rice breeder at the MSU Delta Research and Extension Center in Stoneville, harvested his earliest-planted variety trial in Ruleville in late August, and said it showed outstanding yield performance for one variety.
"Overall, yields were high, ranging from 225 to 322 bushels per acre," Redona said. "Among the top-yielding entries was Rex, released by MSU in 2010, which had a yield of 285 bushels per acre.
"In 2013, Rex accounted for roughly 15 percent of the rice area in the state, which made it the most widely planted conventional pureline variety," Redona said.

Articles Major depression is on the rise for adolescents and young adults - here's what this means for parents
Major depression is on the rise for adolescents and young adults – here's what this means for parents
A new report from Blue Cross Blue Shield shows that major depression is on the rise among Americans from all age groups, but is rising fastest among teens and young adults. [1] In a report issued May 10, 2018, BCBS announced the following important data:
1. The number of people of all ages and genders diagnosed with major depression has risen dramatically by 33% since 2013.
2. The groups experiencing the most significant increases are millennials (up 47% from 2013) and adolescents (up 65% for girls and 47% for boys from 2013).
These numbers are likely an under-representation because they are limited to people who are part of the BCBS system and only measure those who receive a formal diagnosis of major depression. It is well known that the majority of people who report symptoms of depression have not been diagnosed treated for it.
For example, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that just 20% of an estimated 15 million children ages 3 through 17 who have a diagnosable mental, emotional, or behavioral disorder in a given year are ever diagnosed and receive treatment.
Major depression is the second most impactful health condition for the nation. BCBS reports that 85% of people who are diagnosed with major depression also have one or more additional serious chronic health conditions and nearly 30 percent have four or more other conditions. These health conditions include heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, alcohol and drug abuse, and, of course, eating disorders. (Mental Health America) People who are diagnosed with major depression use healthcare services more than other commercially insured Americans. (BCBS)
What this means for parents
An increase in rates of depression among all our children, especially among our girls, should cause significant alarm for parents. For centuries, our culture has chronically discounted the importance of mental health care. This lack of societal awareness for mental health is resulting in devastating lifelong effects for all of us.
Most parents are under-prepared for the emotional caregiving necessary to raise healthy children in today's fast-paced, high-stress, lonely, and distracted emotional ecosystem. This is not because parents are bad – it is an indication of a societal breakdown. Our children are growing up in emotional deserts, and it is taking a toll on their health.
Here are the societal factors that are likely contributing to our kids' increasing rates of depression:
Fractured communities: Our kids are being raised in an environment that is distinctly not conducive to human emotional health. We are social animals, designed to live in close-knit communities. Most families today operate more like islands than communities.
Lack of emotional hygiene: Our kids are taught to wash their hands constantly, but with so much disease linked to depression, we should actually be teaching them the emotional hygiene needed to maintain peace of mind.
Stressed parents: Kids are acutely attuned to the emotional states of their parents. Both parents work full-time than ever before, yet our society provides woefully inadequate support for working parents. Parents are under more stress than ever before and are often unable to provide the level of care they want to their kids.
Social media: We can't discuss mental health without addressing social media, which has infiltrated our kids' lives and resulted in significant damage to their mental health. Studies have found that the more time young people spend on social media, the more likely they are to report sleep disturbances and symptoms of depression. [2] Social media has a distinct impact on body image especially, and people who spend the most time on social media experience 2.6x higher risk for eating concerns and body image concerns. [3]
What parents can do
We cannot individually fix our society – that is something that we must take on as a group culture. It's a long-term effort that is overwhelming even for the most dedicated social activists. But we can make changes in how we parent to help protect our own children from the impacts of our emotional deserts and hopefully reduce their chances of developing a mental illness like major depression or an eating disorder.
Here are five things parents can do to counter-balance the societal forces that are building an ecosystem of mental illness for our kids:
1. Build a community: Humans evolved, mentally and physically, to exist in small group communities. These communities provided children with access to multiple sources of information and care outside of their two parents. In other words, communities meant less pressure for individual parents! Find ways to build a community of other adults who your child can learn from and lean on.
2. Learn (and teach) emotional hygiene: Our brains develop emotionally before they develop intellectually. Our society tends to discount the emotional experience, but it's hurting everyone. Learn about emotional hygiene, which involves recognizing emotions, naming them, and processing them in adaptive, healthy ways. Emotions that are repressed will always come out in some way and at some time, and they are usually much angrier and uglier after having spent time in the mind's "jail for bad thoughts."
3. De-stress your life: Parents are feeling pulled in far too many directions today, and the result is high-stress lifestyles. This stress is unhealthy for us, and it has a trickle-down effect on our children. We need to set healthy boundaries with work and our cell phones while investing in reflective time alone and pleasant relationships with others. Most of us have to learn what boundaries are and how to set them. We also need to learn to be more assertive for our own needs, preferences, and desires. Doing this work will make a huge impact on your child's lifelong mental health.
4. Limit social media: Our kids believe they have a right to be on social media, and it can feel impossible to pry their phones away from their hands. But we can do this, and we absolutely must. We don't need to outlaw social media, but we do need to put controls on it as long as we are paying the bills. Our kids' brains are not mature enough to handle the addictive and damaging nature of social media. Parents must stand up to our kids' phones and make them a privilege, not a right.
Parents alone cannot prevent depression, but we can help reduce our kids' chances of developing depression. We can also help our kids who already have depression recover faster by recognizing the signs and getting comprehensive treatment (not limited to medication) as soon as possible. Remember that emotional disorders are family affairs, and one child's depression may be a good reason for the whole family to make some changes to improve the home's emotional ecosystem.
