The article discusses how the PAP has been critical of the WP and Yaw Shin Leong following his expulsion from the party. However, the author argues the PAP has not always been fully transparent itself, pointing to the 2011 case of Steve Tan being pulled out as a candidate last minute due to unspecified "allegations". The author also questions the sudden verbosity of PM Lee in commenting on the issue so quickly, when he has remained silent on other matters in the past. Overall, the article suggests the PAP should be more careful in criticizing other parties' transparency when it has not always explained everything clearly itself regarding past issues.
The document provides information and rules for entering a contest to win tickets to Super Bowl XLIII.

The article discusses how the once steady rise in immigrant entrepreneurship in the US has stalled in recent years, threatening economic recovery. Data from 2006-2012 shows the proportion of new companies founded by immigrants has declined slightly, and the decline is more pronounced in Silicon Valley. Stricter immigration laws are making it harder for immigrants to start businesses in the US, prompting some to return home after schooling. This could slow job growth and innovation as immigrant founders start less companies in the US. Economists are concerned this trend may continue without immigration reform to support high-skilled immigrant entrepreneurs.

Networks of animal trade: From temporal paths to epidemic centralityMario Konschake
Talk given at DPG spring meeting 2012 in Berlin.
Abstract:
Centrality of nodes is a major concept in network epidemiology which has been extensively studied. For temporal networks, however, a theoretical understanding is still in its infancy. In our case, a time-resolved topology arises from a series of static snapshots of the network taken at discrete time steps. The available animal-trade data has a temporal resolution of one day and includes 90.000 nodes.
We report on epidemiological relevant centrality measures based on the spread of an SIR-type disease. We analyse the robustness of the proposed measures under varying time of primary infection and under different infectious periods. We find the ranking of the nodes according to the measures sufficiently stable for different infectious periods, to be utilizable in the practical contexts of disease prevention and control. We thereby conclude that, for the analysed network, nodes with high epidemiological centrality can be identified independently of a specific disease.
We also find a threshold in the final size of the epidemic, so that diseases with an infectious period shorter than the intrinsic time constant of the network cannot propagate.

Asia sentinel singapore's lee family and nepotismKay Turner
The document summarizes an incident where a Singapore blog posted criticism of nepotism within Singapore's ruling Lee family. The blog implied that Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong appointed his wife to a high-ranking government position, which angered the Lee family. The blog was forced to issue a full apology and remove the offending article. Additionally, the Singapore government recently passed a law allowing deleted online posts to be used as evidence in court, which will make it easier to prosecute critics of the Lee family. Challenging the Lee family is difficult in Singapore due to their prolific use of defamation lawsuits to silence opposition.

The document discusses the requirements and configuration of Inter Frequency Load Balancing (IFLB) in LTE networks. IFLB aims to balance traffic load across cells on different frequencies by offloading user equipment between those cells. Key steps in IFLB include determining cell load, exchanging load information, selecting offload candidates, and handing users over to target cells if their signal quality is sufficient. The document provides guidance on setting parameters that control IFLB behavior and thresholds.
The document discusses PCI (Physical Cell Identity) planning in LTE networks. It describes the cell search process where the UE detects the PCI from the PSS and SSS. The PCI is used to determine the location of reference signals and avoid interference. The document recommends strategies for PCI planning such as assigning color groups to sectors and code groups to sites to avoid conflicting PCI combinations in adjacent cells. It also discusses tools to analyze potential PCI interference and make changes to mitigate issues.

The Issue Is Not Unification, but Forced Unification.pdf中 央社
This document analyzes Taiwan's upcoming 2024 presidential election by providing historical context on Taiwan's political parties and their stances on relations with China. It argues that a vote for Taiwan's Kuomintang party does not indicate support for unification with China, as there has never been widespread public support for unification. While the KMT once advocated for unification, it no longer officially supports that position. Additionally, a vote for Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party is not a vote for declaring formal independence from China, as the DPP also does not support immediate moves toward independence due to public and international considerations. The document aims to dispel misconceptions about what votes for the main political parties in Taiwan represent in regards to Taiwan

The 20th century saw some of the worst genocides in history due to factors like increased technology, more authoritarian rule, and greater industrialization. Advancements in weapons technology, like those used by the Nazi Einsatzgruppen killing squads, allowed genocides to be carried out more efficiently. Rising authoritarianism also contributed by enabling leaders to carry out systematic killings with less resistance. Greater industrialization furthered this by applying industrial methods to the mass killing of people. Overall, the combination of these factors helped make genocides in the 20th century particularly deadly on a large scale.

This document provides a rebuttal to a psychiatrist's assessment of President Trump's mental health. It argues that:
1) An aggressive personality style does not equate to violence, and there is no evidence of Trump's alleged "past violence."
2) Trump's comments about sexual assault were more akin to boasting about his success with women, not an endorsement of assault.
3) Speculation that Trump exhibits paranoia, recklessness, or lack of empathy is unfounded and ignores policy actions that show empathy.

Louis George was a controversial MP known for his outspoken comments. In a 1988 interview, he discussed his career path from teacher to politician and joining the UWP, noting he always insisted on being his own man while adhering to party principles. He acknowledged comments seen as threatening about politics being a way of life and people no longer settling for "crumbs", meaning to warn he couldn't deliver promises due to factors beyond his control. George expressed concerns about Saint Lucia's high birthrate, illiteracy, and alcohol consumption, and the difficult position politicians find themselves in between addressing social issues and risks of upsetting the church or losing constituents.
The document discusses how globalization impacted the American automotive industry in the following ways:
1. Demand for imported vehicles increased as globalization connected markets. This posed a threat to American automakers.
2. The Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 mandated increased fuel efficiency for vehicles, requiring design changes.
3. American automakers Ford, American Motors, Chrysler, and General Motors struggled to adapt to these new challenges from globalization and emissions regulations. They had to make major changes to how they designed and manufactured vehicles.
Ed Balls' appearance on Strictly Come Dancing is criticized as inappropriate and undermining to his political credibility, despite his claims that it shows politicians as real people. Politicians participating in reality TV is seen as indicative of celebrity culture infiltrating politics.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

why the PAP has been taking potshots at WP and Yaw Shin Leong.
With the expulsion of Yaw Shin Leong from the Workers' Party for his alleged indiscretions, the People's Action Party has
come out with guns blazing.
The political potshots are too blatant to miss. The cattiness of the remarks are difficult to read past.
Take for example, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, who said: "WP has let down the voters of Hougang."
Or PAP chairman Khaw Boon Wan, who said: "I think it is sad that the voters in Hougang have been misled."
Both spoke about the issue within a day of WP's media conference announcing Yaw's dismissal.
However, if the PAP wants to apply stringent standards of accountability and transparency to any opposition party by
calling WP to explain itself fully, it is going to be a tight rope to walk.
Because the one question the public-at-large have in their collective mind is: How candid has the PAP been in the first
place?
Remember Steve Tan?
Let's go back in time, shall we?
The most memorable incident that should have elicited heightened calls of transparency and accountability was at last
May's General Election.
At the eleventh hour, Tampines GRC PAP candidate Steve Tan was pulled out unceremoniously and substituted by auntie-
killer and the very metrosexual Baey Yam Keng.

In the hustle and bustle, not much was explained, except that Tan had to withdraw due to personal reasons.
Right.
For any observer, the PAP did a fine job explaining very little about the circumstances surrounding the last-minute switch.
All the public got from mainstream media reports subsequently about Tan's substitution was a reiteration and smattering
of cryptic clues that referred to "allegations" and "female colleagues".
I don't remember reporters stalking Tan, questioning his wife relentlessly or staking out at his home while rummaging
through his trash.
No one bothered to ask our founding grandfather Lee Kuan Yew what he thought as well.
To further clear the air unconvincingly, the 39-year-old Tan then infamously said in an exclusive interview last year with a
broadsheet about his pull-out: "I did not have an ideal love story or love life, and I dated people. But my conscience is
clear."
Oh wow. That sure explains a lot, you almost-Member-of-Parliament, you.
And then what happened next?
Yup, nothing. The mainstream media wasn't too interested being on his case.
So why the sudden interest with Yaw Shin Leong now?
Lee Hsien Loong's verbosity
But whatever, let's turn our attention to the prime minister for the moment.
Within hours of Yaw's expulsion, PM Lee Hsien Loong spontaneously developed an opinion or two.
You see, this is very unique for a man who is known for his taciturnity and measured views in comparison to his father who

could raise hell with each word he spoke.
For those of us who remember, Lee junior remained resolutely silent when Jemaah Islamiyah leader Mas Selamat Kastari
escaped from the Whitley Road Detention Centre almost exactly four years ago in late February 2008.
How long did it take for him to make his first public comments about the jailbreak then? Yup, that's right. He spoke on the
issue after 12 whole days had elapsed.
Well, I mean, I guess I can see where his priorities lie.
I mean, what's more important than winning back Hougang SMC, right?
Public vs. private
Regardless, we've got to love Khaw Boon Wan, who is also Minister for National Development.
This is a man who is presently tasked to clean up the housing mess that his predecessor Mah Bow Tan wrought.
And this is what Khaw, the PAP chairman, had to say about the Yaw debacle that has resulted in many people getting hot,
bothered and rattled: "… once a person enters politics, there is no difference between his or her public and private life."
Oh, really?
Since you said there is no difference between public and private life, may I know what is your salary? Care to publish an
itemised list -- with the bonuses factored in?
Lest we forget, you are paid with taxpayers' money but we still have no clue how much dough that's worth even after all that
song and dance in parliament earlier this year.
Well, the fact is the chasm between the public and private life of a politician is as wide as the politician wants it to be.
So, that being the case, was the comment about public versus private life made out of convenience or conviction?
