Yeah lor he even helped to confirm SNTCK is gay brother with krafty and not lady with kidney disease. Very good what.

So why was he banned?

Flatearther will be back soon, ginfreely not privy to the reason.

Can you tell the Pakistan admin to ban the smug and haughty like hell mudlander dogs instead? For example bastard bully semaj2357 who insult others clit head for nothing.

Re: Female driver gets out and dances on road near body of pedestrian she ran over

Is it true that flatearther is banned? For how long?

Admin..

I love flatearther..

He is cute.

Re: Female driver gets out and dances on road near body of pedestrian she ran over

To Flat-earther and all

It is time to conclude the discussion of the flat earth as we have digressed..
The flat earth model fails because of the following:

Flatearth claims perspective and vanishing point and sun-set happens because sun is moving away from us but the sun never goes below the horizon based on flat earth model and perspective does not make things disappear, only makes them smaller a mid-range telescope should be able to restore the sun easily even if you are in the dark side when the spotlight of the flat earth’s sun moves far away from you afterall the sun is only 3000 miles high according to FE and diameter of earth is about 14 miles..anyone standing in the middle section of the dark side should be able to view the sun with a telescope easily..a simple geometry maths will tell you the viewing angle is about 20 degrees..
If as per flat earth claims we cant see the sun due to mountains and continents blocking our view(didn't know our earth was covered with Himalayas everywhere we looked and didn't know our continents as high as Himalayas) .if that's case then we would not have problems seeing the flat earth’s sun when we are flying-for example anyone flying out of Sydney now at about 9 pm 30000 feet-6 miles high towards Singapore would have a very good viewing point catching a glimpse of the 20 mile diameter bright sun rise in Rio (even with naked eyes )which is 3000 miles up at probably 6000 miles away…but that's is not happening as no one has ever claimed they saw the sun with naked eyes or a telescope coz the flat earth model fails…anyone who has flown over a big city like new York or los Angeles should know you will able to see the city lights even if your 6k miles high in the sky..

to give you better perspective above is Manhattan island 13 miles long. Imagine the flatearth s sun -double that size, shining in the night sky..would you not see it?

Another proof against conspiracy theory. This video explains why you can't see stars in those photos taken by NASA on the moon. It's about aperture and exposure I.e photography.

Btw at 3:08 to 3:21 you can see a long exposure photo of the earth taken by NASA which shows a half bright globe and a few stars. Basically if you are on the moon and want to take the near bright objects and moon surface, you cannot see the distant stars on the photos. But if you take long exposure far object then you can see the earth and stars in the photos, but without the moon surface and near object on the moon. This is film photography used then.

 

[hugs]

Should I do a petition for Flatearther? Aiyah..

Dear Admin,

When there was once no cure for cancer, all sort of experiments and discoveries were first based on theories. Even aeroplanes were at first theories and two pieces of flapping planks.

So if he was banned because of flat earth theory, please don't be PAP style on him?

If it was for some other reasons, please let me show my...

just kidding on the last one but I think Flatearther is an image of your longsuffering self. Don't be so hard on yourself:o

Yours for life,
Hugs.

[h=1]First Read: What Trump's Latest Campaign Shake-Up Means[/h]
http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/fir...ampaign-shakeup-means-n632581?cid=sm_fb_msnbc


For the second time in less than two months, Donald Trump has shaken up his presidential campaign. The first was when he fired former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski back on June 20. And the second came late last night, when we learned that Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen Bannon is the campaign's new CEO, while pollster and current adviser Kellyanne Conway has been promoted to campaign manager. Current Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort will remain in his job, but his influence will diminish. Our three takeaways on this new shakeup:

Trump realizes he's losing: These kind of shake-ups don't happen when a presidential campaign is winning. The last time we remember when such an overhaul took place so late in the game was back in 2004, when John Kerry made significant changes to his campaign team. And here's the current reality for Trump: He's trailing in national polls by an average of about seven points, per RealClearPolitics; he's behind in almost every battleground-state poll we've seen, including our NBC/WSJ/Marist polls from last week; and he's losing to Clinton in the NBC battleground map.
It's a return to Lewandowski without Lewandowski: As NBC's Ali Vitali writes, Manafort's earlier ascension was an effort to professionalize the campaign. "The expectation around Manafort's installation was for a more traditional campaign in terms of structure, strategy and messaging." But the Bannon-Conway moves represent a kind of return to Lewandowski -- without him back. "Trump's turn away from Manafort is in part a reversion to how he ran his campaign in the primary with then-campaign manager Corey Lewandowski. Lewandowski's mantra was 'let Trump be Trump' and Trump wants to get back to that type of campaign culture," the Washington Post says.

Trump is doubling down on nationalism and being an outsider: No conservative news organization better reflects Trump's nationalism and outsider status than Breitbart News, and Trump has now hired its chairman. As the Washington Post adds, "Breitbart News has been harshly critical of House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), and is seen as an antagonistic organ by congressional GOP leaders." Indeed, the Trump press release announcing Bannon's hire touts him being described by Bloomberg Businessweek as the "most dangerous political operative in America." Here is that

Strikingly, this shakeup news completely overshadows the speech that Trump delivered last night in Wisconsin. NBC's Ali Vitali: "Donald Trump made his most direct pitch yet to African American voters Tuesday, connecting the recent violence in nearby Milwaukee to what he described as the plight of African Americans nationwide. The Midwest city experienced two nights of unrest after a black police officer fatally shot a black man who police said was armed and a threat. 'Law and order must be restored,' Trump said in this mostly white suburb an hour north of Milwaukee. 'It must be restored for the sake of all, but most especially for the sake of those living in the affected communities, of which there are many.' Trump called blacks the 'main victims' of the riots in Milwaukee. 'It's their jobs, it's their homes, it's their schools and communities that will suffer the most as a result,' Trump said. 'There's no compassion in tolerating lawless conduct for anyone.'" But if Trump is making an appeal to African Americans, why did he do so to a mostly white audience in a Wisconsin city that's 95% white?

In addition to the shake-up news, Trump today is getting his first intelligence briefing. NBC's Kelly O'Donnell has the details: "Donald Trump selected retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie to join him for his first intelligence briefing Wednesday in New York. According to sources familiar with the planning, the briefing may take up to two hours and would be conducted by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence but it is not anticipated that James Clapper would participate himself. Both Flynn and Christie need at least 'Top Secret' clearance for the briefing. Flynn and Christie previously had levels of security clearance for their past roles in Defense Intelligence and the US Attorneys Office, respectively… [T]he briefing will not occur in Trump Tower because a secure room known as a 'SCIF' is required for SCI matters, Sensitive Compartmented Information. The FBI in New York will provide this secure space."

Team Clinton $85 million, Team Trump $9 million: NBC's Hallie Jackson confirms a Wall Street Journal report that the Trump campaign will FINALLY air its first general-election ads on Friday in Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. (But is the bigger story here where Trump is NOT advertising -- Colorado, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, and Virginia?) Yesterday, we reported that the Clinton camp has aired $61 million in ads, versus the Trump camp's $0. And when you add outside groups, it's Team Clinton $104 million, Team Trump $12 million. And here's one more way to slice and dice the ad-spending disparity: by battleground states.

Speaking of advertising, here are the Top 10 markets that have seen the most money in ads in the 2016 presidential contest. The rankings are unchanged from last week.

Orlando-Daytona Beach-Melbourne, FL: $9.6 million
Tampa-St. Pete-Sarasota, FL: $8.9 million
Cleveland-Akron, OH: $7.3 million
Las Vegas, NV: $5.7 million
Columbus, OH: $5.0 million
Denver, CO: $4.2 million
Charlotte, NC: $4.1 million
West Palm Beach-Ft. Pierce, FL: $4.0 million
Boston, MA (NH market): $3.2 million
Raleigh-Durham, NC: $3.0 million

Finally, in New Hampshire's competitive Senate race, the Kelly Ayotte (R) campaign has a new web video hitting challenger Maggie Hassan (D) for refusing to answer -- multiple times -- whether Hillary Clinton is honest and trustworthy.

Countdown to Election Day: 83 days

[h=1]Scientists Possibly Find "Revolutionary" Fifth Force of Nature[/h]

Physicists appear to be on the verge of a tremendous discovery. While examining an anomaly reported by a 2015 study on dark matter, a research team believes it might have discovered the fifth force of nature.

University of California, Irvine (UCI) researchers came to this possibility while analyzing a previous study by experimental nuclear physicists from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. The Hungarians were looking for “dark photons”, particles that would indicate the presence of unseen dark matter, which is proposed to make up around 85% of the universe’s mass.

UCI researchers focused on a radioactive delay anomaly found by the Hungarians which showed the existence of a new particle, only 30 times heavier than an electron.

The Hungarians thought they found a dark photon. The UCI team disproved that the experimentalists found a dark photon and proposed its own theory that this anomaly actually pointed to the existence of a fifth fundamental force and the particle may actually be a "protophobic X boson."

As per the Standard Model of Physics, each of the four fundamental forces has a boson to go with it - the strong force has gluons, the electromagnetic force is carried by particles of light, or photons, and the weak force is carried by W and Z bosons. The new boson proposed by the UCI researchers is unlike others and as such may point to a new force. The new boson has the intriguing characteristic of interacting only with electrons and neutrons at short distances, while electromagnetic forces normally act on protons and electrons.

The paper's co-author, physics and astronomy professor Timothy Tait, explained:

"There's no other boson that we've observed that has this same characteristic. Sometimes we also just call it the 'X boson,' where 'X' means unknown."

Jonathan Feng, the lead researcher of the team of theoretical physicists, is excited about where this hypothesis could lead, saying:

"If true, it's revolutionary. For decades, we've known of four fundamental forces: gravitation, electromagnetism, and the strong and weak nuclear forces. If confirmed by further experiments, this discovery of a possible fifth force would completely change our understanding of the universe, with consequences for the unification of forces and dark matter."

Indeed, according to Feng, the new force could be a unifying force, joining electromagnetic, strong and weak nuclear forces as "manifestations of one grander, more fundamental force."

Alternatively, the new force could be part of a separate, dark sector.

"It's possible that these two sectors talk to each other and interact with one another through somewhat veiled but fundamental interactions," said Feng. "This dark sector force may manifest itself as this photophobic force we're seeing as a result of the Hungarian experiment. In a broader sense, it fits in with our original research to understand the nature of dark matter."

[The Indepedent, Singapore - Forum Letter]
[h=1]Singaporeans do not fault foreign talents, but only ask that Government better treat local ones[/h]By: Augustine Lee

I refer to the letter published in TISG, ‘Feng Tianwei has helped Singapore win many glories and medals‘. I have been accused of being xenophobic just because I shared my personal views about the Foreign Sports Talent Scheme (FSTS).

Those that attacked me, a ‘born-and-bred’ Singaporean, used labels like ‘xenophobic’, ‘stupid’, ‘fool’ and ‘idiot’. One person even who hurled vulgarities at me and asked me to leave the country.

Yes, even with local talents, there are risks that they would not return after being sponsored by the state. I acknowledge that this this risk is universal and that it can happen in any country. China for example, has seen many bright athletes migrate when they are in their prime, selfishly choosing not to “repay” the debt which their home country had bequeathed on them, by nurturing and sponsoring them from a young age.

In the case of Singapore however (from my limited knowledge), there are no examples of local born athletes who broke their bonds and chose not to serve our country.

There are several reasons for the unhappiness with FSTS, One being that our Government chose the easy way out in order to win medals and bring fake glory to our country.

The money the Government spent on these foreign talent could have been spent to nurture eager and hardworking local talent instead.

One example is Quah Zheng Wen. If he had more funds to be trained longer in the US, he could have gone on to excel further in the Rio Games. If SEA games gold medallist Aisyah had some funds and good coaching, she might have a good shot at a medal too. Let’s not forget that she had to crowdfund $14,000 just so that she could train to bring glory to our country.

The fact that foreign talents are paid a salary, while the local talents have to fork out their own money is very disheartening.

Singaporeans do not fault the foreign talents. Afterall, who will work without a pay? But we only ask that the Government better recognise and support our local talents who excel in the sports of their choice and choose to represent Singapore, out of true love for their own country.

[h=1]NMPs are Believers of the System [/h]

By Jeannette Chong-Aruldoss

Nominated Members of Parliament (NMPs) are Believers - they believe that the system is fundamentally sound but needs tweaking here and there, and that the Government is basically good though not perfect.

If one is a Believer, then words of assurance will suffice.

But not for one who is a Cynic, who sees the system as one designed to entrench incumbents and being constantly calibrated to ensure they continue to be in power.

Cynics will not see the attempt to introduce new laws that constrain civil liberties as mere "codification of existing laws", but will view such attempts in the context of the incumbents' continuing efforts to remain incumbent.

With Cynics in the House, citizens are assured that Bills will be suspiciously scrutinised and robustly debated upon. Schemes which serve the incumbents at the expense of citizens will be called out for what they are.

Without Cynics in the House, citizens are deprived of alternative choices and contrary views which are necessary for informed opinions.

While Believers may see themselves as playing a laudable public role with their reasoned speeches cautioning against the possible abuses, they may well be doing the citizenry more harm than good.

NMPs are identified to the citizenry as independent opinion-makers simply because they belong to no political party. But it is easy to forget that NMPs are selected.

I dare say that only Believers may be considered for NMPs and Cynics stand no chance to ever be one. So NMPs are not really "independent".

What do Believers bring to the table in a debate?

We have seen how NMPs have eloquently identified the pitfalls and flaws of Bills.

But when an NMP criticises a Bill yet expresses agreement with its basic aims, the net effect is an endorsement of the proposed new laws. The bell of endorsement is more sonorous when it is rung by an "independent". Being a Believer, the trust which an NMP has in the system and the Government will undergrid his entire speech, even one which is sharply critical. Beliefs are fully transferable, especially in the absence of Cynicism.

What Believers bring to the House is more confidence to the System. Thus, NMPs serve to entrench the incumbents.

So the more NMPs that there is, the better it is for the incumbents.

[h=1]MOH unable to provide update for reason of how AMK tuberculosis cluster occured [/h]

Ministry of Health (MOH) in its reply to a parliament question, was not able to provide update to the reason of how the Ang Mo Kio tuberculosis (TB) cluster occured.

Dr Lily Neo, an MP for Jalan Besar GRC, asked the Minister for Health at the 22nd session of the 13th Parliament on whether the recent occurrence of a cluster of tuberculosis cases is of alarming concern and whether he can provide an update on the reason for such occurrence.

Earlier on June 16, MOH held a press conference and revealed that there were 6 cases of multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis (MDRTB) emerged from Ang Mo Kio Block 203, and the first case were found back in 2012.

Of the six who are infected with MDRTB, three lived in a same apartment, and the first one were diagnosed with MDRTB in February 2012. The members of his household were being monitored. Then two other were diagnosed in May 2012 and October 2015. As for the other three, they do not live in a same apartment. One were diagnosed in April 2014, another in October 2015 and the last one were diagnosed just last month. No history of contact by the three were found through the interview, making this a very unusual case.

Between 16 to 19 June, MOH conducted a free screenings at the block. A total of 223 residents and former residents were screened on-site. Of these, 164 tested negative for TB and do not require follow-up action, 45 diagnosed with latent TB, 3 had previously contracted TB earlier in life and had completed treatment and not related to TB cluster and 2 possibly have active TB. The other 9 residents have only completed either a chest x-ray or blood test.

Explaining that tuberculosis is usually spread by prolonged close contact with infected persons. MOH noted that the recent cluster, where a few cases of the same TB strain were discovered among residents of a single housing block, was highly unusual.

MOH states that its TB Control Unit has so far not been able to uncover where some of the residents concerned could have had close interactions.

As a precautionary measure, MOH worked with grassroots leaders to conduct TB screening for past and current residents of the block.

Two of the residents screened had signs of active TB, have undergone treatments, and are no longer infectious.

Residents who had latent TB are not infectious, and the vast majority (9 in 10) of them will not develop active TB in their lifetime.

MOH said it had advised them with the TB symptoms to look out for, and to report to the TB Control Unit for medical review if they develop such symptoms.

Early detection and prompt treatment are essential to ensure effective control of TB infections.
