This article appeared on the 26th of November 2011 edition of Straits Times, page D13 in the Heritage is Hip spread. The picture was taken a week earlier in Lor 19, Geylang, just 50m from my old place. Note the construction (or rather demolition) on the left. A block of old Geylang apartments behind my old block was being demolished. Good thing that I was back there in August to snap pictures, else that backlane in which I spent my childhood would have changed physically forever without any photo evidence with this new development. My only regret is not being able to snap a picture from my old home back staircase landing three floors up. That would have been a neat picture to keep!

Preciosa Ornela now offers your favourite PRECIOSA Candy™ Pressed Bead in the new PRECIOSA Candy Rose variant. The well-known two-hole, low cabochon with a round base with a diameter of 8 and 12 mm is now highlighted with engraving at the top arches so that it resembles a rose.
This new version enables the creation of contrast when it is combined with the smooth original bead. The traditional shallow curvature in the lower section, similar to that in the PRECIOSA Candy™ Pressed Bead, greatly simplifies sewing around the bead and stringing it with other beads of the same type or indeed using it with other seed beads and selected beads from the PRECIOSA Traditional Czech BeadsTM brand.
Make use of the options provided by these low, two-hole cabochons, supplement them with PRECIOSA Rocailles in a suitable color or combine them with other popular shapes, such as PRECIOSA Twin™ or PRECIOSA Solo™, and create an elegant fashion accessory.

In this article, we will learn how to solve the simultaneous equations by Substitution and Elimination methods with examples

Ironclad Article
The first battle between ironclads was sensational news. On 22 March 1862 Scientific American not only devoted several pages to the Battle of Hampton Roads, but also described the construction of both ships and provided an editorial on Monitor's success.
This article can be seen in the Civil War exhibit at the National Museum of the United States Navy at the Washington Navy Yard in Washington, D.C.

From the article in the Daily Local News today, "Take a drive down in Longwood Road, make the turn at Schoolhouse Road, and as the crest of the hill approaches, look to the left and behold a lovely sight.
In the adjacent field are some 463,300 "nunsun" sunflowers just days away from their blooming peak...
The plants are used for either birdseed or to plant additional sunflowers and grow on 22 acres maintained by the Hicks Brothers, local farmers who lease 120 acres from Longwood.
According to a statement from Longwood communications manager Patricia Evans, the sunflower patch is part of Longwood's ongoing commitment to sustainable practices.
"We work with local farmers to plant and tend our perimeter properties, and in this case, the crop is not only aesthetically delightful but requires no tilling and limited maintenance," she said."

姜太公钓鱼，愿者上钩
The following article is take from about.com (chineseculture.about.com/library/weekly/aa071600a.htm)
"Taigong Diaoyu, Yuanzhe Shanggou" is a famous Chinese idiom about a willing victim letting himself be caught. The idiom comes from the following story.
Jiang Ziya lived near the Weishui River about 3,000 years ago. The area was the feudal estate of Count Ji Chang. Jiang Ziya knew Ji Chang was very ambitious so he hoped to get Ji's attention.
He often went fishing at the Weishui River, but he would fish in an unusual way. He hung a straight fishhook, without bait, three feet above the water. He often said to himself, "Fish, if you don't want to live any more, come and swallow the hook yourself."
Soon his strange way of fishing was reported to Ji Chang. Ji sent a soldier to fetch him. Jiang saw the soldier coming, but ignored him. Jiang just went on with his fishing, and was saying to himself, "Fishing, fishing, no fish has been hooked. A shrimp is up to mischief." The soldier reported this back to Ji Chang, who became more interested in Jiang.
Ji sent an official to invite Jiang this time. But Jiang again ignored the invitation. He just carried on fishing, and was saying, "Fishing, fishing, the big fish has not been hooked. A small one is up to mischief."
Then Ji Chang realized Jiang may be a great talent so he went to invite Jiang himself and brought many generous gifts with him. Jiang saw his sincere desire so decided to work for him.
Jiang helped Ji Chang and his son turn over the Shang Dynasty and establish the Zhou Dynasty. Jiang was given the title of Taigong so people called him Jiang Taigong.
In this idiom, Diaoyu means "fishing," Yuanzhe means "a person willing to" and Shanggou means get hooked. Today, people use this old idiom to describe someone who willingly falls in a trap or does something regardless of the result. For example, if someone sells something at a price of 10 times its real value, and he does not care if it can be sold, his situation could be described with this idiom.

One of the constitution articles that our president wants to change, and one of the many reasons we are protesting.
We read:
"Art. 337: It will be eliminated the right for the the due process and the information will be restricted in the states of emergency.
President Chavez will be able to invoke the emergency situation to justify the suspension of some rights that are untouchable under the international law."

By the mid-1950s the concept of supermarket and self-service reatil shopping was becoming established in the UK. This article from the June 1956 issue of "Art & Industry" magazine looks as the trend and the changes in design this required. This was two-fold; firstly the shelving units, or 'gondolas', that allowed visibilty of products as well as flexibility of layout for the shop, and the changes to the packaging design for goods to be sold via supermarkets and self-service. This latter involved ensuring that packaging was durable and was highly legible for shoppers to allow for recognition.
In terms of shopping fittings and equipments various interiors and layouts are shown as well as examples of units from manufacturers such as Parnall's and their 'Shomore' range.
I've scanned some sample double page spreads.
These pages as well as showing the colourful interior of a typical supermarket, shows and discusses the changing in packaging technology and design that self-service supermarket shopping ushered in for existing brands. Peek Frean biscuits, Chivers Jams, OXO's Fray Bentos tinned soups, Beefex tinned meats, and Quaker cereals are shown along with designers such as THM Partners, Lonsdale-Hands Associates and Erwin Wasey & Co. Ltd, as well as manufacturers such as the Metal Box Company. Premier Supermarket's own brand of packaged tea is also shown.
Special and sincere thanks go to Agha Waseem who not only offered me hospitality but also is kind enough to allow me to use some of his photos.
