Vital Truths - Do You Know Jesus Christ?
Knowing a few facts about his life will never do; we must know him. Jesus Christ is not another famous man who once lived but is now dead. No, he is the risen, living, Lord of heaven and earth - he is the living Saviour, (Acts 2:32-36). We must know who he is, and what he has done, before we can ever trust in him to save us.
So, who is Jesus Christ?
Vital Truths - Salvation! Who Needs It?
If what the Bible says is true (and it is), then we all do. The greatest, most pressing need we sinners have is to escape the wrath and curse of God due to us for our sins. Surely, to people like us, Jesus Christ, the Saviour of sinners would be the most important person! Finding salvation would be our most pressing concern - wouldn't it?
So why do so few of us take this seriously?
Vital Truths - Is Hell Real?
That is not a very pleasant question is it? Perhaps you would rather not think about it. Do remember, though, it is better to face an unpleasant reality than to live in a fools paradise. This is especially true where your eternal destiny is concerned.
Do you think you are ready to meet your Maker and Judge?
In the Bible, God tells you what you must know in order to prepare.
Vital Truths - How Do We Stand Related to God?
We stand related to God through his law, the Ten Commandments.
In the first 4 commandments God requires us to behave in a certain way toward him. Then, in commandments 5-10, God requires that we act a certain way toward our fellow man.
Vital Truths - Is Adultery and Homosexuality Legal?
Vital Truths - What is right and wrong?
Vital Truths - What are we? Where did we come from?
Vital Truths - Where is truth to be found?

No To Rape members are AWARE's 2011 Young Wonders
Saturday, October 22nd, 2011
We are very honoured that AWARE has chosen Jolene Tan and Wong Pei Chi, two No To Rape core team members, as its Young Wonders for 2011. As we stressed at the time of the nomination, these awards have been made because of the work of the entire No To Rape team, and its many supporters and volunteers, in seeking the complete repeal of marital immunity for rape. No To Rape would like to thank AWARE for its support of our continuing work to combat sexual violence in the home.
Below is a video interview of Wong Pei Chi, speaking about the importance of addressing marital rape and the support that the campaign has received.
New film ad: "Let's Get Heard"
Sunday, November 1st, 2009
If you could say 'no' to something, what would you say?
That's the question we put to Singaporeans and residents from a wide range of backgrounds and walks of life, and the latest No To Rape film ad, "Let's Get Heard", is the result.
You might recognise some familiar faces among those saying 'no' to everything from bad breath to censorship and more!
Share the video with your family and friends to encourage them to take a stand. There's one more thing we can all say no to, and that's rape.
As our petition drive enters its last month, it becomes more vital than ever that we all get heard. Please help spread the word.
Music: YACHT – "Ring the Bell." (See here)
Special thanks to David Shiyang Liu, Rae Lyn Lee, Pei Ling, Joanne LRM, and everyone who participated in the film. Views expressed in the video are those of participants and do not necessarily reflect those of No To Rape.

Get Rea! – includes victim testimony
Here is the episode of Get Rea!, hosted by Cheryl Fox, which focuses on marital rape and was first broadcast on 14 September on Channel News Asia. It features moving interviews with two women who have had personal experiences of marital rape, as well as No To Rape.
Segment 1 of 3:
Seminar video highlights, part 3
You can view full videos of the public seminar No To Rape organised on 7 August, but we are also extracting shorter segments that may be of particular interest.
Associate Professor Chan Wing Cheong of NUS Law Faculty responds to the question of whether falsely alleging marital rape would provide an advantage to women in divorce proceedings, saying "Generally, those kinds of allegations will not give any person advantage."
Associate Professor Chan also addresses the claim that non-consent can only be adequately signalled by moving out and applying for one of the relevant legal orders cited in the exceptions to marital immunity for rape, saying: "Husbands should be given greater credit."
Determinations of non-consent for the offence of sexual penetration under Section 376 are made on a case-by-case basis on the strength of the available evidence, without requiring any prior legal steps by the complainant. Why then should we accept a blanket rejection of all this evidence in cases of marital rape? Moreover, any rape is by definition carried out at close quarters. It should not be difficult to speak to someone who is right in front of you. If a husband has any reason at all to doubt that his wife is consenting to the act, for example because of her facial expression, it takes no more than half a second to verbally check.
Braema Mathi of MARUAH also shares a troubling anecdote about a woman who had been subject to physical abuse – an account including the very distressing detail that her vagina had been cut by her husband. She talks about the importance of having supportive people around to help an abused spouse come forward.
Although full videos of our public seminar held on 7 August are available, we have extracted several shorter segments that highlight major points of interest.
Associate Professor Chan Wing Cheong of the NUS Law Faculty responds to a question on the difficulties of proving non-consent in the marital rape scenario:
Former NMP Siew Kum Hong responds to an audience member expressing concerns about the preservation of marriages:
Similarly, Benny Bong, President of the Society Against Family Violence, opines on the question of whether removing marital immunity for rape will weaken family bonds:
Saturday, August 22nd, 2009
Videos from our public seminar have been available for some time, but we've gone through them to extract some brief portions that may be of particular interest.
Benny Bong, President of the Society of Family Violence, talks about some of the troubling aspects of marital rape cases, including how a lack of societal condemnation is like a second victimisation:
Associate Professor Chan Wing Cheong of the NUS Law Faculty responds to a question about whether "vengeful wives" have been known to make abusive allegations of marital rape in those countries which make no distinction between marital rape and stranger rape:
A member of the audience comments on cases where women know their husbands are cheating on them, but nevertheless believe they are obliged to have sex despite the possible ramifications for their own health (e.g. sexually transmitted infections):
More short clips to come – watch this space!
Towards Criminalising Marital Rape: on video
Videos of our public seminar are now being posted here. Not all of the event is reflected there yet, as the uploading process takes some time, but most of the presentations and Q&As are already available. So if you didn't make it to SMU last Friday – or if you did, and want to revisit any of it – have a look!
No To Rape films: "It is time we speak up"
Thanks to the kindness of writer/director David Shiyang Liu, we are pleased to release the film-ad, "It is time we speak up". This premiered at the No To Rape Seminar on Friday and is now available on YouTube. Please share this video with friends and family, and encourage them to sign the Petition today.

3. You're always "that" person with a bag full of everything ("just in case"). Safety pins, tissues, random buttons, white vinegar ("It's for stains, okay? Why are you looking at me like that?") -- someone needs it; you've got it.
4. Uh oh, someone has a wardrobe malfunction? Or needs a button sewn? Or a snagged thread fixed? You know exactly what to do.
5. Your motto is "Live Free and DIY."
6. "That's so beautiful! Where'd you get it?" is a question you regularly answer with, "Oh, thanks; I made it." Cue jaws dropping.
7. For other people, shopping means a day at the mall. For you, it means coming home with yarn ... lots and lots and lots of yarn.
8. You're that person who obsesses over picking cards. And when you find the perfect card for someone: life goal achieved.
9. Torture is choosing between two nearly identical paint swatches. Your roommates have been known to roll their eyes at you, but they just don't get it. It's not just a paint color. It's a life decision!
10. Your coworkers always swarm over your dish at the office potluck. Macaroni salad: Pfft. How pedestrian!
11. Your cakes, well, take the cake.
14. And your home -- even we'll admit it's totally Instagram-worthy.
15. You're always on the lookout for hidden treasures at flea markets and antiques stores. You actually LIKE antiquing. You see the potential in everything.
16. Nevertheless, your to-do list is on point.
17. And it goes without saying that you're the pre-appointed party planner. Halloween! Christmas! The Fourth of July! You take all of the holidays to the next level. Picking your favorite day is like picking your favorite child.
18. But hands down, you will have THE most-talked about Halloween costume this year.
19. And anyone who's a friend of yours can expect a thoughtful handmade gift. Last year, it was a pair of hand-knit mittens. This year, perhaps a collection of decoupaged photographs.
20. Your friends are always in awe of your crafts, your cooking, and your decorating skills. And you've heard it more than once: "You should think about making this a career!"


The best way to ensure long-lasting beauty, comfort and durability in your carpet is to vacuum it regularly, as it prevents soil from becoming embedded in the carpet's pile.
Depending on the type of carpet you have, you'll want to use a vacuum with a rotating brush, a beater bar or suction only.
Consider professional cleaning every 12-18 months, depending on traffic and other use factors, frequency of vacuuming and whether the carpet is a light or dark color.
To remove a dent caused by heavy furniture, stroke carpet with the edges of a coin. You can also use a hair dryer or a steam iron to gently raise the dented area while you tug upward on the tufts. CAUTION: DO NOT LET THE IRON TOUCH THE CARPET.

We have been waiting for years, and it is finally official: Tiffany & Co. is now in Salt Lake City! Jen and I attended the Breakfast At Tiffany's and ribbon cutting this morning, and are excited to share our sneak peek with you!
The spacious 3,500-square-foot store is twice as big as I expected it to be. Located on the second floor of the new City Creek Center, you have a beautiful view of the Salt Lake Temple to the North. The entrance to Tiffany & Co. at the South provides a beautiful view of the fountains in Richard (Nordstrom) Court.
This was my first time in a Tiffany & Co. store, and I was amazed at how many other items besides jewelry they had available for purchase. Handbags, luggage tags, sunglasses and even a baby collection were some of the non-jewelry items on display. I fell in love with the sunglasses and journal book immediately!
Tiffany & Co. isn't just for the ladies. They have a beautiful selection of rings and watches for men as well.
I was amazed at all of the different "key" designs they had around the store. When I asked about it, they said that it was a tribute to the original Tiffany & Co. vault. In honor of their 175 years in business, they brought back that "key" style for all to enjoy.
My favorite collection after the keys and lockets was the "Tiffany Hearts" collection. A beautiful variety of hearts in bracelets, earrings and necklaces, Tiffany & Co. designers have a way of presenting hearts like nobody else does.
If you are thinking that you could never afford Tiffany & Co., think again. I was impressed with was the variety in prices. Tiffany & Co. is known for their high quality, and you can rest assured that anything you buy from Tiffany & Co. will be top of the line. Many of their designers offer styles like the necklaces to the left. The sterling silver necklace is in the $200 range, while the gold necklace is in the $1,300 range.
This year, 2012, marks the 175 year anniversary of Tiffany & Co. The Salt Lake City store is the only store opening this year in honor of that anniversary. Pieces in the collection with the Tiffany signature on them were created exclusively for the 175th anniversary of Tiffany & Co.
With the ribbon cutting and Breakfast At Tiffany's celebration this morning, Tiffany & Co. will be open for business for all to see tomorrow morning, March 22nd 2012. Take a peek at all Tiffany & Co. has to offer!

NWTF Praises Nomination Of Ryan Zinke As Secretary Of The Interior
Ammoland Inc. Posted on December 16, 2016 by F Riehl, Editor in Chief
National Wild Turkey Federation
EDGEFIELD, S.C. –-(Ammoland.com)- The National Wild Turkey Federation applauds President-elect Donald Trump's nomination of U.S. Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-MT) for Secretary of the Interior.
The U.S. Department of the Interior is a Cabinet-level agency that manages America's vast natural and cultural resources. It employs 70,000 people, including expert scientists and resource-management professionals, in nine technical bureaus and various offices. Those bureaus include: Bureau of Indian Affairs, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, National Park Service, Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the U.S. Geological Survey.
"We first thank Rep. Zinke for his service to our country in the U.S. Navy and legislature," said George Thornton, NWTF Chief Executive Officer.
Congressman Zinke, a native Montanan, grew up hunting, fishing and enjoying the natural beauty of Montana, which grounded his conservation ethics in those of President Teddy Roosevelt. Continuing in the Roosevelt model, Congressman Zinke supports the science-based conservation of public lands. Science-based management by federal and state fish and wildlife agencies is how the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation became so successful.
"Rep. Zinke also recognizes that to sustain federal forest health, there needs to be active management to provide for a pure and abundant water supply, quality wildlife habitat, fire prevention, recreation and other public-supported values," said Becky Humphries, NWTF Chief Conservation and Operations Officer.
"Catastrophic wildfires hinder this valuable work by diverting Forest Service budgets, originally set aside for wildlife and habitat management, outdoor recreation and watershed management, to instead pay for fire suppression," Humphries said. "Rep. Zinke is committed to collaboratively developing forest plans and setting reasonable safeguards to reduce the number of lawsuits aimed at preventing needed forest management."
Upon his confirmation, we look forward to working with Secretary-nominee Zinke to provide sustainable natural resources on federal lands for the use and enjoyment of all of our citizens," Humphries said.
About the National Wild Turkey Federation
When the National Wild Turkey Federation was founded in 1973, there were about 1.5 million wild turkeys in North America. After decades of work, that number hit an historic high of almost 7 million turkeys. To succeed, the NWTF stood behind science-based conservation and hunters' rights. Thanks to the efforts of dedicated volunteers, professional staff and committed partners, the NWTF has facilitated the investment of $488 million in wildlife conservation and the preservation of North America's hunting heritage. The NWTF has improved more than 17 million acres of wildlife habitat and introduce 100,000 people to the outdoors each year. The NWTF Save the Habitat. Save the Hunt. initiative is a charge that mobilizes science, fundraising and devoted volunteers to raise $1.2 billion to conserve and enhance more than 4 million acres of essential wildlife habitat, recruit at least 1.5 million hunters and open access to 500,000 acres for hunting. The NWTF is well on its way to meet or exceed these goals. For more information, visit NWTF.org.

Q: How to return tree's leaves in a list in Haskell I have this code so far:
data BinaryTree a  = Null | Node a (BinaryTree a) (BinaryTree a)

treeLeaves :: BinaryTree a -> [a]
treeLeaves tree = case tree of
    Null         -> []
    Node v t1 t2 -> [] ++ treeLeaves t1 ++ treeLeaves t2

I am not sure what I'm doing wrong. It outputs an empty list.

A: Right now you are missing the important step, which is adding the leaves to your list, and that's why you are always getting an empty list. This [] ++ treeLeaves t1 ++ treeLeaves t2 will eventually fall in the Null branch and become [] ++ [] ++ ... ++ [] as Zeta commented.
You know you have reached a leaf when the BinaryTree is Node v Null Null. So you need to write a branch for that case too:
treeLeaves :: BinaryTree a -> [a]
treeLeaves tree = case tree of
    Null             -> []
    Node v Null Null -> v:[]
    Node _ t1 t2     -> treeLeaves t1 ++ treeLeaves t2

As Igor commented you can use _ instead of v on the last line because you are not using the element in that node (since it isn't a leaf).

Building a house, refurbishing a Chevron sports car, and a planned culinary trip to France. Well, at Massey High School all these activities, and more, are helping students achieve NCEA Level 2, and progress to further learning or work.
Nationwide, up to 70% of school leavers do not go to university. Massey High School, via the Auckland West Vocational Academy, and using the 2012 Vocational Pathways framework, is delivering a more 'hands on' and employer-relevant learning experience for these students.
The relationship between Massey and the West Auckland Vocational Academy has significantly lifted NCEA Level 2 pass rates, improved student attendance and increased student retention, according to Bruce Ritchie, Principal of Massey High School.
"For example overall, in the first year, students reached or exceeded 80% NCEA Level 2 achievement in every academy where this was a Ministry target. In carpentry, all the students achieved 100% of the Level 2 BCAT's (National Certificate). And thirteen out of fourteen achieved Level 2 NCEA."
Clearer vocational pathways have also led to a vast improvement in student attitudes, Bruce says.
"Students now have a sense of achievement, take pride in what they are learning and have developed a 'team' approach through the academy. This has lead to a significant improvement in school attendance. At this time in 2013, 120 out of 126 Academy students have attendances that meet the required 80% minimum. Student retention has also drastically increased. Nearly all students remain. Only two out of 126 have decided the academy is not for them," Bruce says.
Massey High School welcomes the "direct connection the academy gives students to work with employers, community organisations and service groups. The majority of students who have completed learning in the academy have progressed to employment that was related to the academies or to tertiary institutions, " Bruce says.
For Bruce and his teachers, having their students achieve more is not just about ticking some boxes. It's about the pleasure they get from seeing students do things they never thought possible, and from seeing the pride that parents and whānau take in their children's achievements.
"One student on work experience from the Academy burst into tears in a review, saying that they were the only person in their family who had ever had a job. They now have part-time work, and an offer of full-time work once they complete the academy.
"A 'Roof Shout' was held for the house built by our carpentry students. Every parent attended, along with extended family members. It was a very special day. One at risk student, unlikely to remain in school, attended the Academy and now has employment in an apprenticeship. The student returned to thank the school and inform students how important the academy was. We encourage this - it has happened in about a dozen cases already.
"Partnering with vocational and trades academies, and the arrival of the Vocational Pathways programme, are two of the most significant changes made for New Zealand's students in recent years. Both are changing pupils lives, and their futures," Bruce says.


2011 is definitely the year for lean startup in Malaysia and if there is one thing you should look at is mobile. With the iOS and Android both eying to be the king of the hill. There is no better time to create your own software and have your own hits like Angry Birds or many more.
Dr. Bernard Leong of Chalkboard recently wrote in SgEntrepreneurs about how to create a startup the 2011 way.
Basically, the way I proposed is based on known methodology in product development and it is just a summary of three key principles: (a) Agile: Build a product in the shortest time and most effective way possible, (b) Iterate: Change the product quickly upon getting feedback from users and test until you find the killer feature, (c) Pivot: Upon failing in the fastest manner possible, learn from the lessons of why it did not work, change strategy and develop the product in a different direction.

With Android phones like the Nexus S from Samsung, it is easy to come with your own app.
All you need is an idea and someone who can code on Android. If you can't code yourself, you can find it over at sites like Elance or other freelancing sites.
What kinds of apps you may ask? The smart phones these days are filled with so many sensor that enables your creativity to go wild. Take the Nexus S for example. You have 1 front facing camera and one at the back, a simple photo booth idea can be easily explored.
Application like Bump, makes use of the accelerator meter in the phone and uses global position satellite to identify if two phone are in the same place together so that contacts can be exchanged with a Bump. Even weirder is application such as Color which uses the microphone to detect ambient sound to identify phones in the similar location.
So if ideas is not your issue, what is next? Get a programmer, in Malaysia you can talk to the folks at CodeAndroid.my and see if they can help you to make your idea a reality.


Rarely do we get the chance to see a set of go stones made from Japanese domestic clamshells (日向特産蛤碁石) as most clamshells used for making go stones are now sourced from Mexico. When we do happen upon Japanese domestic clamshell go stones, they are usually much thinner with much less luster and sometimes some stones are missing.
The above is one of the most desirable sets I have ever seen offered at an auction. It is a masterpiece set from an old Japanese family who kept it in great condition. Not sure what grade the stones are but wouldn't be surprised if they are snow grade. And it is a full set of go stones with 182 white and 182 black. The stones are 11mm thick which in modern terms would make them size 39 stones.
It comes with what looks like mulberry go bowls with a tasteful amount of maki-e calligraphy on the lids. Not sure what the calligraphy words are though. Mulberry is of course one of the most desirable wood used for making go bowls.
This is simply one of the most luxurious set of go stones I have ever encountered pictures of. I didn't even want to try bidding for these as I knew right away they would be out of my budget. Anyways, I'm very happy to be able to show the photos of this incredible set and I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I do.
Compare with the Hyuga Clamshell Go Stones in Kurokigoishi's Gallery of Wonderful Goods and you'll understand how incredible this set really is.

A beautiful set indeed. The white has some kind of pinkish tint to highlight the grain.
The words on the lid; one is the word for dragon, and the other one I believe is tiger. (white vs. black).
Truly exquisite. The characters are dragon and horse.
Leaves me literally salivating. I think I'd be afraid of actually playing with them!
Just found your Go journal: I think I'll stick around a while, if that's okay.


If they go and talk to those kids, and visit with them like I did, they'll understand.
As a boy, Jerry Powell wanted to be a cowboy.
You might say he was destined for such a life. Born in Oklahoma, Jerry spent his youth in New Mexico before moving to Lubbock, Texas, in 1945.
But Jerry found little support for his dream, so he went to work at an early age driving a tractor. Jerry drove that tractor from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., and also worked as a life guard at the local swimming pool. Life was busy, but Jerry liked being active.
When the time came, Jerry enrolled in college. Even as he studied, Jerry's cowboy dream still beckoned.
For years, Jerry worked as a plumber and a building contractor, before he said the Lord enabled him to purchase that little ranch he'd dreamed about. Life was good.
But, when Jerry's wife began suffering health difficulties, Jerry made the difficult decision to sell the ranch and move on.
As hard as that time was for Jerry, it led him to a discovery.
"When I sold my ranch, I had several saddles, bridles and tack I had to get rid of," Jerry said.
Jerry heard about Cal Farley's Boys Ranch, and thought Cal Farley's might be able to use his equipment.
The experience inspired Jerry, and he's been a proud supporter of Cal Farley's ever since. Jerry has even included Cal Farley's in his estate plans, making sure the boys and girls Cal Farley's serves will continue to receive life-changing services in a Christ-centered atmosphere and at no cost to their families.

With General Schuyler, he established the Western Inland Lock Navigation Company near Little Falls, New York. Around 1796, with Jeremiah Van Rensselaer and Abraham Ten Eyck, Major De Zeng established a window factory at Hamilton, New York. Major De Zeng made early explorations for improving navigation and building canals and in 1822, he was instrumental in the formation of the Seneca Lock Navigation Company.

He moved to Geneva in 1812 and married Caroline Cutbush Rees, the daughter of Major James Rees and his wife, Elizabeth, in 1817. For more than half a century De Zeng was identified with the growth and development of Geneva and its surrounding region. He led the effort to secure legislation and construction of the Cayuga and Seneca Canal. Owner of the Ontario Glass Works Company and co-owner of a cotton factory with James Fellows, he was also a long-time member of the board of trustees of Hobart College, which his father-in-law had helped found.

Provenance Note:
The De Zeng Family Papers were a gift of Caroline F. Clark and Reginald E. Francklyn, 1973. At the time of the donation, photographs, miniatures, maps and objects were separated from the De Zeng Family papers and transferred to the museum collection.
Scope and Content Note:
The De Zeng Family collection pertains to Baron Frederick Augustus De Zeng (1756-1838), who came to America from Dresden and settled in Geneva, New York, and to many of his children's families, most of whom continued to live in Geneva. The offspring of the Baron and his wife, Mary Lawrence, and in particular their son, William Steuben De Zeng (1793-1844) and his wife, Caroline Cutbush Rees, represent the main sources of the related families. The families included in the collection are: Betterton, Cutbush, De Lancey, Endicott, Lawrence, Oehlschlagel, Rees, Reynolds, and the Seward family.
The collection dates from 1770-1925; the bulk dates span about a century, from 1770-1870. The papers are organized by prominent family members and are further subdivided by family genealogy and by various document types. The papers of each family member are arranged in roughly chronological order. Types of documents include: personal and business correspondence, genealogical and biographical papers including narrative histories and family charts, physician's notebook, diaries, family photographs, financial documents, legal papers, land surveys, field books, ship's log book, manuscripts, published essays, English transcripts of German documents, hand-drawn maps, drawings, poetry, and newspaper clippings including obituaries.
The collection not only documents the affairs of this extended family, but provides information on the history of upstate New York at a time when this region was still considered part of the "Old West." Materials related to the development of Geneva include field notes surveying the 5,000,000 acre tract west of the Genesee River (1799); the development of Hobart and Geneva College; the manufacture of glass, cotton and other early industries; early efforts to contain the lakes with canals; and correspondence reflecting the social customs from some of its most prominent citizens.
Of special interest are: an unidentified physician's notebook, 1729-1734, with medicinal recipes, probably once the possession of Dr. Edward Cutbush; an historical list of masonic lodges until 1735; a diary kept by James Reynolds during a 1772 sea voyage from Philadelphia to England and back aboard the ship Mary and Elizabeth, James Sparks, captain, containing a reference to John Woolman, a passenger; a manuscript copy of an account of scalpings by Seneca Indians during the Revolutionary War; a printed booklet of John Quincy Adams' Fourth of July oration (1821); drawings by Edward Cutbush, 1787, and by his father, a shipyard carver; field books of Seth Pease and a Mr. Stoddard's 1799 survey for the assignees of Robert Morris (1734-1806); and a log kept May 22 – October 10, 1836 aboard the ship Eunomus by its captain, George W. Endicott, on a voyage from Boston to Rio de Janeiro. A significant item includes an article by F. L. Pleadwell (Annals of Medical History, 1923) describing the life and writings of Dr. Edward Cutbush who published Observations on the Means of Preserving the Health of Sailors and Soldiers in 1808.
The papers also include letters and signed documents of: Aaron Burr (1756-1836), Robert Morris (1734-1806), Thomas Morris and Henry R. Schoolcraft.

why must you install VLC media player?
you don't have to install VLC. It is optional. You need VLC, if you want to use the transcoding feature. This will convert videos to a campatible format for low-spec tablets.
How do I setup the app with using the transcoding. my xbmc is on a rass pi and i dont want to install vlc? But the setup wizard will not let me skip the vlc connection page. It just keeps re-trying to connect every time I click next.

Belgian racist murderer sentenced to life in prison
Murder fuelled by racism
It has come full circle and one can say justice has been done; however, the fallout from this event is generating some interesting commentary that leaves one a bit worried.
In May 2006, an 18-year old man with a privileged upbringing with a nominally extreme right heritage went on a shooting spree with the view of targeting people of a foreign background. [Are you Belgian Suspect – May 2006]
In the process, he shot and killed a Malian nanny, then killed the 2-year old ward who happened to be a white girl when the obviously distressed girl started to cry, he then when on to shoot a Turkish lady who survived the ordeal.
This madness was curtailed when the man got shot in the stomach by a police marksman but that was beginning of a soul-searching analysis of the effect of intolerant anti-immigration rhetoric and populism used to obtain political advantage in Belgium.
Father tries to fool us
The father of Mr. Hans Van Themsche technically disowned his son by saying the boy is sick in some way, but he cannot be exculpated for bringing up his boy in an atmosphere of right-wing and Flemish nationalist tendencies.
At one time he was once a member of the proscribed Vlaams Blok (Flemish Block), the influence of such a community cannot have been benign even though he did say at the trial of his son that they never tolerated racism or right-wing extremism at home nor did he espouse the ideas of the movement itself.
This is an interesting development, because in my write-up last year, the information I gathered showed that his father was a founding member of Vlaams Blok; that would have made him a mover of the ideas of that party – the party reincarnated as Vlaams Belang (Flemish Interest Party) and his aunt is a representative of that party in the Flemish parliament, it would be difficult for these people to feign ignorance of their influence on the young man.
Revelations at the trial
During trial of the young man, the Belgian woman of Turkish heritage and birth – Songul Koç – wondered why she was shot and it appears she is still severely traumatised by the event, one can only wish a recovery that allows her to get on with her life.
A witness to the shooting observed and said of the murderer, "He stood there for a moment to make sure he had hit her, he smiled and was clearly pleased with what he had done. Then he calmly walked on."
In the light of the cold-blooded evil, we hear man eventually tried to apologise in what Ms Koç believes was a mechanical act, not one done from the heart in any sincerity.
Justice for the dead
And so on Wednesday, a jury found the man guilty of all counts of two murders and one of attempted murder saying he was motivated by racism and he was sentenced to life in prison making him the first Belgian to be convicted on a charge of racially motivated murder.
This is fine, but then the Former president of the Appeal Court has waded into this case and asked that the young man be given a second chance. Edwin Van Fraechem believes in the light of a double murder and attempted murder, the opportunity to return to society should be considered saying – "And we need to take this into account. We must not forget that Van Themsche is only 19. We should at least try to re-educate him."
At a time like this, our thoughts should be with the people who suffered loss, but such crass insensitivity can only be expected when people are trying to peddle influence to subvert the course of justice for a person of privilege.
The precedent of tolerable murder
The judge goes on to recommend a tenure is a state educational facility which he believes offers a more severe regime than a prison which should not last more than 10 years, because he believes the murders were not racially motivated.
If this is not a case of twisting the facts to achieve a dishonest end, I am not sure what is, the report notes that in the 52 cases the judge presided over, he never pronounced a verdict for internment in a state educational home.
Indeed the judge is learned and versed in precedent; this might be advocating the establishment of the institutionalisation of tolerable murder as the question of racially motivated murder can never be countenanced or be of import even if the suspect clearly confesses that his acts were racially motivated.
One should resist the urge to play the race card and turn the tables to consider what would have happened if the hues of the persons involved were switched.
But one is of the mind of trawling through all the cases of this judge to see how he has upheld Belgian law in his deliberation, though one hopes this is just an unfortunate lapse in judgement.
Meanwhile, justice seems to have been done, lock those gates, I know where to put the keys.

Level of Gaseous Pollutants, Particulate Matters and Lead: The Case of Roof Top of Dhaka Buildings
The aim of the study was to find out the level of pollutants at the roof of a seven-storied building and the values were compared with ground level pollutants. The gaseous pollutants (SO2, NO2 and O3), particulate matter (2.5 and 10 micron) and lead in SPM were determined by UV-visible, AAS spectrophotometer and gravimetric methods respectively. For all the criteria pollutants, the concentration of pollutant was lower than ground level at Kallyanpur, Dhaka and also lowers than Bangladesh acceptable...
A New Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (NFMEA) Approach for Supplier Selection in Risk Environment
Supplier selection is a multi-criteria problem which involves both qualitative and quantitative factors. It is a complex, multi-person and group decision making process that can be improved by systematic and logical approaches to assess priorities based on the inputs of several people from different functional areas within the company. In this research work, the authors have shown how fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (F-AHP) can be effectively used with failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) approach...

Glass Ceiling for Professional Women: A Study on Bangladesh
The 'glass ceiling' metaphor is used to describe invisible barriers (glass) through which women see elite positions but cannot reach them (ceiling). The scenario poses as if there is not sufficient room for women at the top positions like a board member, authoritarian bodies, and top executive committees. Under such circumstances, whether the glass ceiling exists in Bangladesh, the obstacles the professional women face because of their gender, the kind of support they need, and the factors that...
Assessing Ghana's Fishing Industry: A Case Study of Some Selected Fishing Communities in the Greater Accra Region
Africa is a continent endowed with abundant fish resources in marine, inland or freshwaters. In spite of these benefits, the sector is at risk due to a decline in fish stocks in both marine and inland waters, leading the continent to be losing the potential to harvest between US$2 to US$5 billion of economic returns annually. In light of the declining state of the African fisheries sector, this study was conducted to assess Ghana's fishing industry in view of the declining African fish stocks....

BEAUTY and the Beast isn't the only live-action remake on the way.
Disney have announced a number of animations that are getting revamped over the next few years after the success of The Jungle Book and Cinderella.
Beauty and the Beast stars Emma Watson and Dan Stevens in the titular roles, and is expected in cinemas on March 17.
Here's the other classic animated films that will be given the live-action treatment.
Producer Dan Lin said the film could arrive next from Disney and explained that, like Mulan, the cast will feature non-white actors and actresses. Guy Ritchie is directing and the screenplay comes from Big Fish scribe John August.
According to The Hollywood Reporter the film is basically copying Hook because "the story centres on Robin, the adult version of the boy who in the A.A. Milne books shares his adventures with the animals of the Hundred Acre Wood." He's now a businessman, putting work before his family, when Pooh seeks him to help find his friends again. Marc Forster is directing a script from Alex Ross Perry.
This origin story of Cruella de Vil will see Emma Stone play the fur-loving villain. The first script was written by The Devil Wears Prada's Aline Brosh McKenna and Kelly Marcel and given a rewrite from Fifty Shades of Grey's Kelly Marcel.
Tim Burton is signed on to direct this remake, which will be his third time in the director's chair of a Disney feature film after Alice in Wonderland and Frankenweenie. Transformers and The Ring writer Ehren Kruger is attached to write the script.
Bond director Sam Mendes is in talks to direct this live-action remake of the animated film based on Roald Dahl's children's story. Nick Hornby is attached to direct.
There was uproar when a spec script seems to show a white character added to the story to help Mulan but Disney quickly denied that would ever come to fruition. They've promised the film will only feature Chinese stars. Rise of the Planet of the Apes scribes Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver are writing the screenplay and Niki Caro has been confirmed as director.
This is remake of Oliver and Company, which was a remake of the Charles Dickens book. Ice Cube is set to play Fagin in a hip-hop version of the story directed by Hamilton director Tommy Kail.
Pete's Dragon director David Lowery has been brought in to direct and write (with Toby Halbrooks) this latest Peter Pan remake.
This live-action remake only has a writer attached, Dan in Real Life's Peter Hedges.
The Jungle Book's director, Jon Favreau, is at the helm of this remake and it's meant to include all of Elton John and Tim Rice's original songs. Simba and Mufasa's casting was revealed by Jon on Twitter.
Chloe Moretz was at one point attached to appear as Ariel but she dropped out and now all we know is that original songwriter Alan Menken will team up with Moana's Lin-Manuel Miranda on the songs and music.
Game of Thrones writer Bryan Cogman is penning the script and that's all we really know - though we're guessing it won't be as bloody as the HBO show.
Reese Witherspoon is set to star as Tinkerbell after Elizabeth Banks dropped out. It's basically another origin story and will be written by Finding Dory screenwriter Victoria Strouse.


It is not possible to estimate what?
Putting more time and effort to improve estimations of the uncertainties that cannot be avoided or reduced, will not improve the accuracy and reliability of those estimations. It is a waste. And not recognizing those uncertainties increase the possible consequences.
has no "stopping rule" (i.e. we never know when or if the problem has been fully solved).
And finally a Quiz to check if everything is crystal clear.
What if someone want an high ROI without uncertainty/risks, at a pre-fixed deadline agreed by everyone?
It is usually necessary and *always possible* to provide an estimate.
An estimate can be more or less strict, but the error range must be explicit. An estimate always implies a feasibility and some cost/benefit study, hence it can result in a "don't go".
Murphy's Law: There is no uncertainty in engineering.

LG 50PK350 review
For a big-screen, full-HD television, this LG is great value for the money. It's certainly no frills it, but if you're on a budget, it's an eye-opener Tested at £650.00
If you want a big, full HD TV on a budget, this might be the answer
Good motion
solid black levels
tuner is okay
Lacks sparkle
spec' is basic
no HD tuner
holes can be picked in performance
Just check out that price tag. At the time of writing the LG (opens in new tab) 50PK350 plasma could be found for less than £600, a staggeringly low price for a 50in TV. Our Award-winning sets at this size will set you back more than double that, so this screen has set tongues wagging and provoked much rubbing of eyes.
Out of its box we're happy to report that this LG looks solidly built and not unattractive. It's doesn't boast the 'seamless' design of some LG sets, but your friends certainly won't laugh at the sight of it.
An honest TV, few frills
Unsurprisingly, the technical specification looks a little lean. There's a 1920 x 1080, Full HD panel, a modest two HDMI inputs and a standard definition Freeview tuner; but don't expect any 3D, DLNA or internet TV. This is simply a big TV, without the frills.
So we come down to the all-important business of performance. One thing's for sure; you'll have no complaints with the remote control or on-screen menus. Big, bold and clear icons do the job, while the remote gives a reassuring click with each press.
It's strictly standard definition from the integrated tuner, but action on the highest bandwidth channels is good, the big screen doing a competent job with scaling the lower resolution content to produce an image with good detail that's largely free of noise.
Trying some DVDs and then Blu-rays, we get a feel for the TV's performance and we're suitably impressed. Motion is handled very smoothly, dark black levels are deep and accurate and edges are fairly sharp.
Colours aren't perfect
The colour balance isn't perfect – a yellow tint to skin tones is hard to shake – and there's a lack of insight compared with the best about; but for the money, it's hard to argue too vehemently with what we see. The speakers sound clearer and fuller than many about, too.
It's not without flaw in terms of picture and specification, but the so-low-we-can't-get-over-it price, makes LG's 50PK350 well worthy of consideration if you want to go big on a budget.
