Media & Society_17 - The ITE Slasher!!!

http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singaporeseen/caught-in-the-act/slashing-at-ite-college-west-see-how-how-one-guy-swings-parang-at-another-during

One of the most horrible and stupidest thing that could happen in a school. Upon reading this news, I laughed and made me think why on earth are they in school. Such an uncivilised act to do in a public property especially a school. In my opinion, if you are really not happy with someone, just approach them nicely and try to compromise about it. You don't have show your might by using weapons to injure the other party. Learn how to be patient and not use violence as your last resort.

According to eyewitnesses and the news, the fight occurred due to some unhappiness about some boy girl relationship. The motive was not that clear but luckily the vicim suffered injuries from the slashing and not death.

http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20150402-the-worst-place-on-earth

In Mongolia, there exist a place where waste materials are dumped in a big deserted plain, turning it into a dystopian futuristic land. This wasteland is hidden in and unknown area of Mongolian desert and it is deemed prohibited to enter. It's chemical waste deposited by a factory and refineries nearby. Pipes are every where linking it to the lake which now looks like a futuristic apocalyptic landscape.

An extreme one's desire has caused destruction and catastrophe over mankind and our home planet, Earth. It's a very selfish act. Let's not take things for granted and stop this once and for all. If one or two can do this, imagine what could dozens of factories and refineries could do. It will be the end of humanity...

http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20150327-the-deepest-holes-dug-by-hand

This is one of the interesting article that I came across. I have been amazed the extraordinary innovations and techniques that mankind have created to explore the planet. Architecture was one of the achievement that we should appreciate. Just look at the Great Pyramids of Egypt  and the Great Wall of China. Isn't amazing how the people in the past uses the natural resources to build a marvellous marvel without any modern day machineries. A big respect to them...

In this article, it was saying about how humans have came out with the different techniques in digging up the Earth and how the invention of machineries have helped the process to be much more easier and faster.

When a baby turtle hatches from it's egg, it would travel slowly from the nesting grounds to the sea slowly and sometimes only some survive. Some may be eaten by the lingering predators, others lost in the sea, drifted to nowhere. Scientist have came out with a device that could help a lost turtle find its own way during the maturing stage of it's life. 

This device will be attached at the back of the turtle's shell and this device is solar powered. It's very innovative way to safe species from extinction.
