...of “you can run, but you can’t hide” have been increasing for motorists in Singapore, as the use of in-vehicle cameras helps the police track down errant drivers. More videos of traffic violations recorded with these cameras are handed to the Traffic Police, as these original videos can be summited as evidence. The Traffic Police also started tracking the number of such videos last year, and noticed a higher frequency in submissions with 1,000 clips last year. Mr Derek Teo, executive director of the general Association of Singapore felt that the presence of these cameras would create a sense of responsibility among motorists, who know there are more eyes watching them. An example of such cases would be the arrest of Quek Zhen Hao last month. Quek Zhen Hao was branded a “road bully” by netizens after two videos showing him driving recklessly went viral. Thanks to the videos, the police arrested the 24-year-old and investigations are still going out. In regards to this trend, the Traffic Police remains supportive, and encourages citizens to submit video evidences. I feel that social media, being an efficient platform, is the main reason behind this trend. With a click, everyone in the world has access to what you posted in an instant. In recent 2 years, there have been many videos taken by in-car vehicles circulating online, drawing in public’s attention. For example, a video taken by an in-vehicle camera of the crash between Ferrari and Taxi instantly went viral online within...

...they are a Democracy, Plutocracy, or Oligarchy. Today, the word democracy has been tossed around. In the words of Zhen Han “In modern society, democracy as a symbol of social civilization and progress is cherished” (Zhen Han). Democracy in any society should be because it gives the people of the nation power and liberty. The power of democracy has changed over time and didn’t necessarily work as positive as it does today. During the ancient Greek times, democracy was split and mostly enjoyed by white males. The same happened in US history. “In the early period of US political history, democratic rights were given only to white males in colonies; today, although all citizens have democratic rights in law, what they really have in political life, in fact, are voting rights” (Zhen Han). If the United States really is a democracy, it would either need to be an ideal democracy or not a democracy at all. “Ideal democracy means that every individual should be respected” (Lihe Dong). The reality of having an ideal democracy is almost none. Having everyone agree on one issue here in American is impossible and without the total agreement of all citizens, it may result in totalitarianism. Where the United States does fit in as a democracy are its representatives. “A proper democracy must be able to help the individual transcend his isolated space to go into public life” (Zhen Han). The representatives allow the voices of the citizens to achieve their presence in politics. For example, there...

...MLB’s Return on Investment University of Phoenix RES341: Research and Evaluation I May 10, 2010 MLB’s Return of Investment In 1842, organized baseball, now known as Major League Baseball (MLB), was created (Haupert, 2007). Since then, the industry has grown tremendously as a business enterprise and as many Americans’ favorite pastime. With its popularity, several controversial issues have arisen over the last few decades in regards to players’ salaries and imbalance of competition. From 1975 to 2002, the average MLB players’ salaries increased 5200% (Haupert, 2007) and competition concerns have been addressed by developing the luxury tax and revenue sharing throughout the industry (DeMause, 2006). To investigate these issues further, Team D is studying the relationship between MLB players’ salary, team wins, attendance and market. At the end of the research process, Team D anticipates reaching a valid conclusion to determine whether higher salaries (investment) are justified by increased attendance (return), and if there is a large inequality between large and small markets. Research Objectives The objective of this study is to determine the return of investment (attendance) on the salary structures present in MLB teams and if there is a disparity between “large” and “small” market teams in providing a successful product. The investigation will focus on the relationship between salaries, wins, attendance, and market sizes of MLB teams. Throughout...

...It is amazing to think that an accidental observation led to the production of one of the most widely used antibiotics still in use today. Furthermore, it is even more amazing that this antibiotic derived from a fungus. In 1928 a bacteriologist by the name of Alexander Fleming, while working on a project, made an observation on a contaminated culture plate of staphylococci by a mold. He noticed a bacteria-free circle around the mold growth and discontinued his project to focus on his accidental observation. The mold, a member of the fungi kingdom, was isolated and identified as Penicillium Notatum. When the mold was allowed to grow on culture plates and different bacteria were streaked across the plate; Fleming observed that some grew up to the mold while others were inhibited. This observation made Fleming conclude that Penicillium Notatum produced an antibacterial substance that inhibited some bacteria while not inhibiting others. The antibiotic produced from this member of the Fungi Kingdom is what we now know as Penicillin (Wennergren & Lagercrantz, 2006). Mold is just one member of the Fungi Kingdom. Fungi can be found everywhere in the world including the air, water, soil and on plants or animals. The fungi reproduction cycle is truly unique compared to all other eukaryotic organisms. They produce sexually and asexually with some organisms of fungi only reproducing asexually (Liang, 2005). During the life cycle of fungi they produce spores and from these spores...

...first one is derived from our parents, exist in ourselves when we born, and is actually the original substances and motivation of life activities, which in Chinese is called “先天精氣”. And the second one can be intake from fresh air, food and water, and would have the original qi flourished when it get greatly nourished after born, which in Chinese is called “清氣”(if come from air) and “水穀之精氣”(if from food or water) (Shen Lung Ltd, 2002). Basically, qi will be as Kong Qi when air be inhale to lungs. Kong Qi will gather with Gu Qi, which is from food and water, and was saved in stomach and spleen, at lungs, and become Zong Qi. The congenital qi is reserved at human’s kidney, which is called Yuan Qi, and will be integrated with Zong Qi to become Zhen Qi. This is the basic route of qi flowing in our bodies. Apart from the flow, for movement of qi, there are 4 basic forms of qi movement: upward, downward, outward and inward. According to According to Sacred Lotus (2001), movement of qi is different in different Zang Fu. Lung sends qi inward and downward to kidney and bladder, and kidney receives qi and ascends qi upward back to lungs. Liver controls all directions of qi flow, especially upward, and will make a balance with the downward-going qi sent by lungs. Pure qi is sent upward to lungs and heart by spleen. Impure qi is sent downward by stomach. “As Spleen controls transformation, Stomach controls receiving. Therefore, ascending of pure Qi and descending of impure Qi depend on ascending...

...ANCIENT CHINESE CONTRIBUTIONS HUM111/032VA016-1128-001 December 22, 2012 ANCIENT CHINESE CONTRIBUTIONS Ancient China has a glorious history and it is well known that China is the main source of a lot of innovative and ingenious inventions. They have invented things that we as modern Americans continue to use and depend on today. It seems as though the Ancient Chinese were extremely inventive and people all around the globe owe them an awful lot. The Ancient Chinese has given us inventions that have continued to shape the world, as we know it, today. Most of the things that we depend on today basically began with our Asian counterparts. The Ancient Chinese have contributed to the world the compass, papermaking, the movable-type print, gunpowder, porcelain, the mechanical clock, toilet paper, and silk. These inventions are just to name a few; however, the four most ingenious and innovative inventions made by the Ancient Chinese are the compass, papermaking, the movable-type print and gunpowder. First of all, the compass, invented by the Ancient Chinese in 220 BCE, was supposed to be able to harmonize environments and buildings in accordance with the geometric principles (cultural-china.com, 2007-2010). Originally, the compasses were not built for navigation, but the spoon shaped compass made of magnetic ore with a bronze plate which dated back to the Han Dynasty, was used to determine the best location ad time for a burial (Silverman, n.a.). The compass...

...In the Baise prefecture of the Guangxi province in Southern China, there are two Zhuang minority song fairs separated by a distance of only 60 kilometers. Both are held at caves, both feature worship practices in reverence of Zhuang deities prominent to their area, and both use antiphonal, multipart singing. These two fairs at Guangyang Mountain and Ganzhuang Mountain were very similar to each other prior to the Cultural Revolution. However, the official promotion of Ganzhuang Mountain as the home of the first Zhuang ancestor, begun in 2003 and consummated in 2004, has created a dramatic disjunction between these two song fairs. The present differences between these two fairs permit an analysis of elements of change that have recently affected Zhuang music culture. While there are several aspects of these changes that could be examined, in this essay we limit the analysis to government-sponsored tourism. The comparison between the two song fairs is used in this case to provide the perspectives of full involvement in, and absence of, government-sponsored tourism to better understand positive and negative effects inside of a given cultural context. To address those positive and negative aspects, we re-posit the questions asked by Carol Rubenstein: “What genre of culture was being formed and shown, and to what end, and at whose expense, and for whose benefit and purposes?” (1992). Information for this paper is taken from experience and research conducted by Qin Jin Dun, a native...
