Is Israel a developing country or an industrialized one?

When my parents visited Israel in the 1970s, they said it reminded them of visiting India in terms of poverty and development. But that was 1970 and today is different.

Answer: very modern industrialized country.srael, a small, young country, has achieved in its few years of existence something that many bigger and older countries haven’t achieved. In less than 60 years Israel has become a first world country, which means it has advanced technology and its citizens get what they need.



There are a few criteria, which help categorize countries into first, second or third world countries. I would like to write about how Israel fits those criteria, to show how wonderful it is and to compare it to other countries.



First, I would like to refer to infant mortality. In advanced countries it is always low. In Israel only 6 out of 1000 babies die. This is one of the best rates in the world. In the U.S.A, it is 7, and that means Israel passed the USA. Israel is equal to Spain, Britain, Italy, and Canada in this subject.



Second, there are the population percentages. In Israel 28.4% are between the ages of 0-14, 61.7% are 15-65 and 9.9% are 65+. The work force makes about 61.7%. In Israel every 1.6 adults support one person who doesn’t work, which is a really good figure. Israel is almost identical to the U.S.A, Japan, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, Italy, and others.



Third, and some may say this is the most important: GNP (Gross National Product). GNP is basically all the incoming money a country gets in a year. I’m going to refer to the average GNP every person gets in a year. In Israel that would be 18,440$ per person. Israel has passed Spain, where the GNP per person is 18,079$.



There is also the criterion of life expectancy. In Israel women live 80.4 years, and men 76.6 in average. Israel passes part of the countries I mentioned by life expectancy of men, and others by life expectancy of women.



Literacy is also important. In Israel only 4.2% are illiterate, which is pretty low. Israel isn’t far behind Italy and Spain, and ahead of Singapore. Many countries I mentioned earlier refused to give this information.



Additionally, there is the percentage of urban population. Israel is better in this than all the countries I stated before except for Singapore (where 100% live in cities). 91.1% of the citizens live in cities in Israel, and still Israel is one of the most important countries in the world in agriculture.



Last but not least: How many doctors care for every 100,000 citizens. In the USA - 279, Canada - 229, Australia - 240, Germany - 350, Britain - 164, and Israel - 385! From all the countries I mentioned, only Spain and Italy have more than Israel.



These are only a few examples for how wonderful Israel is, according to simple facts. These facts were updated in 2003, and Israel has advanced even more since then. I would also like to mention that Israel is the only first world country in the area, and has made it in one of the shortest times, if not the shortest in the world.

Its about time, you send your parents on another trip to Israel they will not recognize it.

THE HUNT; Finding That Hidden Gem

WHEN she relocated to New York three years ago, Karen Yau looked at dozens of apartments before finding her one-bedroom rental in London Terrace Gardens in Chelsea. It was lovely and large, with a classic layout. I thought I was never going to leave, she said. Her boyfriend, Scott Smith, nowhere near as choosy, lived in a small, sunny - The Hunt column on search by Scott Smith and Karen Yau for rental apartment under $7,000 per month in Manhattan; found two-bedroom West Village carriage house, built in 1889, for $7,000; photos (M) - By JOYCE COHEN

What are the dangers of globalization?

If you split the world up into a pie what role will greed and self-interests play? Can two dogs and one bone coexist peacefully?

Answer: 1) Unemployment. You own a business here in America and you want to try and save costs. You find out China or India have the average hourly wage at $3, rather than $15 here in America. What do you do? Go to China or India and set up employment there. But what happens to all your employers in America? They are laid off. So the minority (YOU) is gaining from this move, but the majority (THEM - THE WORKERS) are not. This is why the gaps between rich and poor are evermore expanding.

2) The strive for global government. Everything is virtually interconnected, right? All nations rely on other nations in some form or another, so the true bankers, leaders and globalists of our world will attempt to establish a unified, one-world government where everything is under their command. Very dangerous; the world is too big and complex for such a move.

3) The exploitation of third-world countries. Due to the growing inter-connected nature of our world, people are electing to exploit the cheap hourly wages in China, South Korea, Singapore merely for their own personal MONEY needs. Those who manufacture Nike shoes get paid $30 a week whilst Tiger Woods gets bad over $4,000,000 a year for merely "wearing" the shoes.

4) Inequality. Very simple to number three. The more globalised our world is becoming, the more unequal we'll start seeing things.

5) First-world countries dying. Due to all the work heading elsewhere, where will the money come from for countries like UK, Australia, Italy, Spain? Nowhere. Due to big businesses and corporations electing to exploit the disadvantaged, our countries will riot and we'll collapse. As I personally say (my own quote):

"Globalisation is the tool to inevitably diminish the first-world and rise the third-world. In the next 100 years, the third-world will be the new first-world and the new third-world will be the old first-world".


Hope this helped. I am strictly anti-globalisation as I believe it is deadly to our economy and our people. I don't mind exportation to other countries or cultures being shared internationally, but globalisation is basically the push to remove the sovereignty of our nations and live in a global community.

RECYCLE CITY; The Road to Curitiba

Computers, Cellphones, i pod, a Revolution or no?

Im writing an essay on if the world thinks Cellphone and Other Technology are/were, when first introduced, a revolution

The dictionary defines a Revolution as a sudden, complete or marked change in something

Please give you opinion, and support it!
Thanks!(:

Answer: I'll take the negative side and say that no, WHEN THEY WERE FIRST INTRODUCED, the technology items you mention did NOT cause a revolution. At first those items were expensive, unreliable, and bulky in size; many viewed them as passing fads with no real potential. Those people turned out to be wrong. Improvements were made to those products over time, and now, yes, a revolution did in fact take place - and is still taking place. It's a rather slow-moving revolution as opposed to political revolutions which take place suddenly and can result in a change even of government type overnight. Technology 'revolutions' seem to take about a generation (30 years) to complete. That time frame is probably getting shorter these days.

As my personal example, here's some things from my life. I was born in 1964.

Our family, like many families, didn't have a TV until like 1969. Then we got a smallish black and white TV that got terrible reception and picked up like four off-air channels LOL. It still was a big deal though. Look at TV now 40 years later. 100 channels, digital color pictures, etc.

Computers. When personal computers first came out, they were bulky, expensive, and there really was no software that you could buy to use the thing straight 'out of the box'. One had to essentially be a computer programmer to operate one of those things. There were hardly any software applications that you could buy 'off the shelf' from a computer store. If you wanted a program to accomplish some task, well, you had to write that program yourself. Now, around 30 years later, there is of course jillions of software applications, many of which are inexpensive or even free.

My first computer (1984) was a Macintosh SE with a whopping 1 (yes, ONE) MB of RAM and a 20 MB hard drive. It was a compact machine - but it WAS expensive, somewhere around $2,500 if I recall correctly. The internet wasn't even hardly born then.

27 years later, I type this on a Dell desktop which I bought refurbished for $275. It has 512 MB of RAM and 150 MB of hard drive space. The hard drive holds 150 MB of data, which is 7,500 times more than the old Mac.

Add to that high-speed internet, and yeah, the world has shrunk. I have made friends from all across the world, as have many others. I still can't quite believe it. I live in Seattle and yet I'm close friends with some woman in Singapore almost exactly halfway around the world.

I could go on and on. The technology revolution DID happen (and continues to happen), but it DIDN'T happen overnight in a sudden and complete way. It was (and is) a gradual and sometimes even unnoticable revolution; and it can in some ways almost even be considered a relentless juggernaut that has been set in motion. Technology can be used as a tool for both good and bad. The technology doesn't decide what it's going to do - the human users decide that. . .

are most chinese fully literate in both mandarin and cantonese?

Answer: The short answer is No. The long answer is a bit more complicated.

Mandarin and Cantonese are two very different dialects of Chinese. Mandarin is the official dialect of mainland China, so the vast majority of Chinese who live in China will speak Mandarin as well as the dialect(s) prevalent in the region they live in. Cantonese is a dialect popular in the south of China, so most people living there would speak both Mandarin and Cantonese, except in Hong Kong where a lot less people speak Mandarin because Hong Kong was a British colony for about 100 years (returned to China in 1997).

There are also a lot of countries with significant Chinese populations, and you'll find that the dialect they speak will depend on where their family came from. For example in Singapore you might meet ethnic Chinese who speak Mandarin but not Cantonese, or both, or some other dialect, or multiple dialects. Same thing goes for Malaysia, and pretty much anywhere else where you have Chinese communities.

So that's the answer for speaking. But for writing, there is an added complication because there are 2 systems for writing Chinese - the Simplified system, and the Traditional System. Because Chinese characters are not primarily phonetically based, the writing system is independent of the dialect, so writing in Chinese is generally understandable by anyone who understands that writing system, regardless of the dialect they speak. There are of course differences in how things are phrased and the way certain characters are used, but just think of that in the same way as the differences between American, British and Australian English - generally you can understand all three regardless of the idiosyncracies of each.

As the name suggests, the Traditional writing system is the old school method and is pretty complicated. The Simplified system was developed in China as a way to, well, make things simpler and easier to master. Mainland China uses the Simplified system, Hong Kong and Taiwan use Traditional (because they were not under China's control when the Simplified system was developed). As you would imagine, most people master only one system, so people will have problems understanding something written in the system they are not familiar with.

Lastly, for most people, learning to read and write Chinese is a very laborious and time consuming process that takes years to develop competency in, so there are many many Chinese who grew up in non-Chinese speaking countries who can speak their particular dialect(s) fluently, but can't read or write Chinese at all, or can read it but can't write it. And learning to type it is another challenge as well!

Hope that clear it up for you!

Hi guys im 17years old female im a senior high school my dreams was to be a model and actress?

But im too short to be a model but im very interesting of being a actress could someone help me to find a agency plzzz a good one cuz there are too.many scam im tired to see them on.my way i really need help

Answer: Agencies will only represent you if you live less than 100 miles from their office and you forgot to mention where you live. Yahoo Answers is a global board so nobody can help as we don't know if you live in the US, Australia, South Africa, Singapore or any other country

It's impossible to get an agent for acting until you have a minimum of 2 years of training from a top acting school and experience in leading roles in amateur productions like community theatre, student films, etc. Legitimate agents never accept beginners. If you have never gone to acting school and have not had leading roles in local productions for at least the past 2 years, you need to start taking classes now and auditioning for everything you can find, then after 2-3 years, you can start looking for an agent. Normally your teachers will either recommend you to an agent or they will invite agents to your student performances

What is the right age for a relationship?

I am just really confused. My mother always tells me "When youre older" but I am 13 and some girls in my school are already in a relationship. I have had social anxiety since young and I cannot talk to strangers. All my friends are girls because I am too shy to talk to boys and I go to a all girls school.
So what is the Right age for a relationship?

Answer: I agree with many Christian authors on this point—dating/courting should be preparation for marriage. If you cannot seriously think about marriage, you should not be involved in an exclusive relationship with the opposite sex.

I see “puppy love” all the time here in Singapore. I see high school kids walking around the mall holding hands. The college students also make decisions that are unwise and directly contradict their own plans. I often ask a crowd of students what age they would like to get married. Most of them say “25.” This is how I respond: “Guys, you are all about 17 years old (some groups of students are even younger). Do you plan to court someone for 8 years?” Teenagers are often eager to find a boyfriend/girlfriend without considering the real future of the relationship.

What do I mean by being ready to marry? I’ll give you a few factors.

Emotionally Ready: Marriage is for people who are emotionally mature. From a scientific/biological standpoint, we know that the brain continues to mature into the mid-twenties. This does not mean that we are automatically matured by age 25, nor does it mean all teenagers are immature. I have met some 30 year olds who act like they are still 13. I’ve met some 17 year olds who are quite level-headed and mature. Even the most mature teenager, however, will probably be wiser by the time he/she is in the mid-twenties.

Here are just a few questions to evaluate your emotional maturity:
Are you easy to get along with?
How do you respond when you don’t get your way?
Do you know how to compromise?
Can you discuss disagreements without fighting?
Do you fight with your friends or girlfriend/boyfriend over petty (unimportant) things?
Can you put someone else’s needs ahead of your own?
Are you ready to share 100% of your life with someone?
Do you understand your goals/purpose in life?
Can you honestly express what you feel?
Are you overly jealous?
Are you honest and trustworthy?
Are you too sensitive or insensitive?
Are you overly dramatic?

Of course, all of us could improve in these areas, but the “typical” teenager needs a lot of improvement (especially a young teenager). This is why most teenagers are not ready for marriage. Of course there are exceptions—there are people who get married at 18 and live happily ever after. Generally speaking, however, most teens are not ready for a lifetime commitment (especially when considering the other factors that I’m about to tell you).

Financially Ready: Men, don’t bother pursuing a serious relationship if you are not financially ready to take care of a family (or able to get to that point soon). Women, don’t commit yourself to a man who has not proven himself to be a good provider. I know this sounds materialistic or “unromantic,” but there’s nothing more “unromantic” than wondering where your next meal will come from. I don’t mean that a guy has to be “rich,” just financially stable. Both men and women should look for someone who is disciplined financially.

Spiritually Ready: A marriage relationship should glorify God. The Bible often compares marriage to God’s relationship with His people (the Church is called the Bride of Christ, for example). You can only glorify God with your relationships if you are spiritually mature yourself. Focus on your relationship with God before focusing on romantic relationships. I do not mean that you need a perfect spiritual life to be ready. I simply mean that you need to learn the basics of walking with God.

Let me make a few more observations based on what I’ve seen and even my own experience. Again, these are just observations, so there are exceptions. Regardless, I think it is good to pay attention:

1. High School crushes rarely produce marriages. In other words, you most likely will not marry your teenage crush.

2. Some of us are very thankful that #1 is true. No offense to the girls of my high school/college, but now I’m glad that those relationships didn’t happen or “work out” for whatever reason. The reason is this—we often don’t really know who/what is good for us when we are still teenagers. Sometimes we look back and say, “what was I thinking—why in the world did I even like that person?”

3. Generally speaking, more harm than good seems to come out of teenage romance (especially high school and first year college). I see a lot more broken hearts than happy endings. One might argue that having crushes and having your heart broken is simply a part of being a teenager. This may be true. My concern, however, is that many kids make their suffering worse by pursuing relationships when they are way too young.

After reading this article, you may think I’m the “anti-cupid.” I’m not (promise). I'm actually a very romantic guy, and I look forward to meeting my "special someone." I simply want you to approach relationships realistically, with eyes wide open.

I really love Singapore but I think its a little too pressurizing in this environment and I would really like to go to New Zealand, the peaceful environmemt, haha.

However, Im a little short on money, like about S$ 5000 in my bank account, and my parents can fund me, but the amount is below 25 thousand. Can I still still immigrate there as a student? Thanks

Answer: To submit an expression of interest, you must be in good health, have good character, speak English reasonably well, be age 20-55, and score 100 or more points in a system that ranks work experience, age, and other factors. In general, the younger you are (within the 20-55 age range) and more work experience you have, the higher your score will be.
All required forms can be found at www.emigratenz.org.
The health and character requirements of the NZIS apply in all cases.
There are no age restrictions for general work visas. However, these visas do not lead to residence.

Where does the HPV virus come from?Did HPV exist 100 years ago?

Is this the oldest human virus?
(Filed: 18/07/2006)

The papillomavirus has been afflicting humans and their ancestors for
millions of years. Now scientists have worked out how it has evolved,
reports Roger Highfield

Hundreds of millions of years ago, a relative of this virus made
dinosaurs sprout warts. When our ancestors split from the apes up to
seven million years ago, the virus split with them. Among the earliest
modern humans, it was still multiplying, spreading and evolving.


Cervical cancer cells
Cervical cancer cell about to divide

Today, this virus, perhaps the oldest to afflict humankind, is causing
more suffering than at any time in its history. Although many kinds of
the virus - the human papillomavirus or HPV - still cause warts,
certain types are now known to cause cervical cancer, too, an idea
first suggested three decades ago by the German scientist Harald zur
Hausen.

The cancer was documented as long ago as the second century AD by the
Greek gynaecologist Soranus of Ephesus, but the death rate has risen
because women are living longer, giving more time and opportunity for
infection with the virus to trigger cancer. In recent years, however,
modern genetics has helped scientists to track down the remarkably
ancient origins of this invisible killer and provided the means to
fight it.

Scientists can compare the genetic material in viruses to draw up a
family tree. There are more than 100 types of HPV and they all consist
of nothing more than a scrap of genetic material - DNA - wrapped in a
spherical shell of proteins some 55 billionths of a metre across
(around 1,500 would fit across a human hair).

About 40 are known to infect the genital tract and, of these, 13 HPV
types have implicated in the development of cervical cancer: 16, 18,
31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59 and 66. But of all these, the
most important are types 16 and 18, which together are responsible for
approximately 70 per cent of cervical cancers. Viruses multiply by
pirating the molecular machinery of a host and it seems that, by doing
this, these HPV strains can switch off the protein product of the p53
gene, one of the body's most important cancer defence genes, along
with that of the retinoblastoma gene, which also suppresses tumour growth.

Over a lifetime, it is estimated that up to 80 per cent of sexually
active women will be infected at some time or another. For the
majority, the virus is quickly cleared by the immune system.
Unfortunately it is not possible to predict who will not deal with
infection and be left vulnerable to cervical cancer.

By studying the genetic make-up of the 100 or so HPVs, it has been
possible to see the virus change down the generations. By making
assumptions about how quickly they mutate, one can even work out when
each type emerged. Only a few weeks ago, an international team used
this approach to work out how the epidemic of HIV-1 - which has caused
Aids in tens of millions of people - began with a person infected by
chimpanzees in south-east Cameroon in the 1930s.

In a similar way, Prof Hans-Ulrich Bernard, from the University of
California, Irvine, has used genetic genealogy to study the
evolutionary history of HPV and shown how this family of viruses
evolved together with humankind. "Homo sapiens was never without HPVs,
and consequently never without warts and cervical cancer," he says.

HPV is amazingly ancient. While HIV jumped from animals to humans in
the last century, and the viruses that cause smallpox and measles made
the leap around 1,500 years ago, Prof Bernard found evidence that the
HPVs have evolved over hundreds of thousands of years, probably longer.

In a study conducted with Drs Shih-Yen Chan and Lisa Ho of the
National University of Singapore, Prof Bernard looked at 301 samples
of HPV 16 from 25 different ethnic groups, including Eskimos from
Greenland, South American Indians, and people from Finland, India,
Israel, Japan, Greece, South Africa, Zaire, Sierra Leone, Senegal, New
York, Peru and Argentina.

There were 48 different variants of HPV 16. In all they differed by
just five per cent in terms of genetic code, showing a very slow
evolutionary change. The team concluded that the infection was born in
Africa, not least because ape and monkey papillomaviruses were so similar.

This picture was confirmed by Dr Chi-Keong Ong in Singapore who
studied HPV 18. Working with colleagues from around the world,
including Prof Saveria Campo of Glasgow University, he compared
samples from Scotland, Germany, Greece, Tanzania, Singapore, Japan and
Brazil. Two of the Brazilian samples came from an isolated tribe, the
Mundurukú, who live in remote areas along the Cururu River.

The analysis shows an HPV 18 variant from Africa is the founder virus,
and is by far the oldest, since its modern African descendants are the
most varied. Although some strains in Braz

Can my family move to Singapore, and live there?

My mom is a high school drop out, but she is very good at waitressing and what not. I am 15 and have to younger brothers the age of 6 and 8.My mom makes less than $1100 per month. What, if possible, would my family have to do in order to move and live in Singapore?

Answer: Based on your description, your mom might be eligible to work in S'pore as a waitress (or similar job), but she is not eligible to bring you & your brothers along. Even if all of you can go, your lives would be barely on (or likely below) subsistence level in S'pore. The below explains why.

If your mom were to work in S'pore as a full-time waitress (or as some other unskilled/ semi-skilled labour), she has to get her prospective employer to apply a Work Permit for her, before she can go & work in S'pore. (Foreign nationals on social, long term visit or student visas are not allowed to work legally in S'pore.)

Work Permits are issued to non-degree graduate workers from "approved" countries (Malaysia, SE Asia, Indochina, NE Asia, China, Indian subcontinent), & who would be earning < S$2,000/mth during their period of employment in S'pore.

* Work Permit - Before you apply (S'pore Ministry of Manpower): http://www.mom.gov.sg/foreign-manpower/passes-visas/work-permit-fw/before-you-apply/Pages/overview.aspx

For you & your brothers to go live in S'pore, your mom would have to sponsor you guys for Dependent's Passes. However, only the "higher-class" P1/ P2/ Q1 Employment Pass holders & S Pass holders with minimum $2,800 monthly salary are allowed to apply for Dependant's Passes for their family members (ie. spouse, unmarried/ adopted children below 21 years old). As such, you & your siblings would not be able to accompany your mom.

* Dependant's Pass - Before you apply (S'pore Ministry of Manpower): http://www.mom.gov.sg/foreign-manpower/passes-visas/dependant-pass/before-you-apply/Pages/default.aspx

In addition, waitressing jobs pay only S$5-6/hr (inexperienced) to S$8-9/hr (experienced), & there is also no tipping culture in S'pore. So your mom's monthly salary would likely to be relatively low. Even if your whole family are allowed to stay in S'pore, a monthly income of just S$1,100/ mth (ie. before mandatory CPF deduction by the government, ie. S$300+ based on above salary) is going to make your lives VERY abject & miserable, considering the high costs of living in S'pore. In fact, there might not be enough money to send your brothers & you to school. Also, all of you would have to settle for at most 1 basic meal per day.

Do note that S'pore is amongst the 10 ten most expensive places in the world to live in. Even professionals from USA & Australia have commented that most daily necessities are much cheaper back home than in S'pore. (Housing & cars are even more exorbitantly expensive.)

A foreign single-income earner with 3 school-going kids would need at least S$2,500/ mth to live in S'pore -- assuming they choose to squeeze into a "big" rental room (S$600-800/mth, may not include utility bills for 4 people) in a public HDB flat, as well as forgo most entertainment/ luxury expenses.

Ive lost 50 % (12,000 $) of my money in Stock Markets.Iam totally down.What can I do now ?

Iam 25 years old from India working as a software engineer.
I made a biggest mistake of investing all my savings in to Stocks..Now due to poor global sentiments , my portfolio got reduced to half and Iam feeling very much depressed.What should I do know ?? Should I sell everything and run away with a deep cut or should I wait for the market sentiments to improve ? Please advice..

Answer: It's okay; we all make that mistake one time or another. Most importantly, you don't have to be an all or nothing investor. Fortunately, you're young and I hate it a lot more when it happens to someone older since time is not on their side. My suggestions for someone that age would likely be much different (change the asset allocation rather than selling). I think there are two lessons you can take out of this: 1) you want to always have 8 months to 1 year of an emergency fund (probably more in India because the fees of mutual funds are higher and if you lose your shirt, it can permanently change your standard of living) and 2) you will always want to be well diversified. Also, 3) you want to be buying now and not selling, but you are in a predicament whereby you have to sell to replenish the emergency fund.

At least you're a software engineer. Here's what I think you should do. It's just a suggestion as I think the global markets (maybe not the Indian or China economy) will come roaring back especially after 2010. I wouldn't sell all but I'd sell half of the investments. That will give you $6,000 in cash and $6,000 in stocks. That's just in case you lost your job as a software engineer. You then go back and put $200 per month. Meanwhile, you save at least $100 per month into savings. $200/month or more into savings would be much better. In 30 months, you might have $15,000 in stocks and $10,000 in savings. You might want to sit down with a financial planner and discuss your situation at that time.

So what should you invest in? You live in India, thus you don't want the risk of your currency, the risk of losing your job, and the risk of the stock market all at once. I don't know if that means you have risk from other emerging markets or China. So I'd try to be international in my investment selections.

One place I like very much is Brazil. It's got a sugar ethanol and it stayed in a recession for a long time in hopes to build its economy.

The second place I like very much is Asia. Since you live in India, it makes it more difficult and I might not want to take this suggestion. I really like countries like Taiwan, Singapore, and Russia in the Asian quadrant. I also would like Australia.

The third place I like is the United States. Valuations look good; the market could fall 20% or more, but it looks like it has good long-term prospects (for the next 3-5 years or so). The market should do well. Be very wary of the subprime mess becoming a problem again in 5 years as they are set to reset. That could be especially troubling if our economy is doing well but starting to slow and Feds Funds rises. In other words, those things could perpetuate a severe recession and dramatically lower stock prices from where they reach their peak so I'd pay attention for the Feds Funds rate, economic sediment, housing, and the value of the stock market. The higher the value of the stock market, the more worried I'd be as an international investor. Just take a look at China and India; they have had very severe declines and I think it will continue. If you disagree, please include in the note since I want to learn more about the Indian and possibly the Chinese economies.

Is there a suitable jobs which i can do at my current age of 13 in singapore?

Hello to everyone? My name is Rachel. I am currently 13 years old this year. I am a female and live in singapore. As you know my holidays are round the corner, i will be extremely bored. So i have made up my mind to look for a job or what can i do for the community?

Answer: You can go participate in CIP programmes. If you are in your secondary school (which you should be in, judging by your age), you would need to do some voluntary CIP, if you can do up to 100 hours, you would be able to minus around 2 points from your O Levels score. Some great places to do CIP are during flag days and the library, as in NLB. Simply go to Google and search 'Friends of the library', where you can sign up and be a volunteer, having fun and doing CIP at the same time.

If you want to look for a job, you can go to Singapore Gumtree, search it in Google. There are lots of jobs there in gumtree that are available. However, you are still considered underage, so wait till you are older. The legal age is 16, but some places allow 15. The best thing to do now is CIP at the library. You can use this holidays to start stocking up on your CIP hours!(:

Hope i have helped!(:

How to do with 10 years boy who never listen to mother?

What will you do?????
If your 10 years old boy NEVER listen to you?
Every day fight at home, he hit and he is breaking things at home,never sleeping in time.
He is lonely at school and he dont like sport.
Is there any food or pharmacy thing that can help?
What parents did in the old days?
I told to a doctor so he told me to send him out of the family, to live in a hospital but I cant do that, but situation is very hard for me.
Thank you!

Answer: Wow, you are in a really tough spot.

I see you live in Singapore, and I know how demanding life can be there (I live in Taiwan and I've been to Singapore too).

It sounds like there are some pretty deep problems here.

#1 - how is the relationship with the father? I bet it's poor. That's pretty common in Asian families where the father usually must work very long hours.

Unfortunately, as the child gets older, it gets harder and harder to build this relationship up. It usually involves a desire by the child to improve things.

#2 - He is lonely at school and doesn't like sports... sounds like me.

Social maladjustment is difficult to overcome and in some cases it just takes time. Your position as a mother means it is impossible to improve this by direct intervention.

What you can do is help him find things that interest him. Unfortunately, it's not uncommon to find youngsters that just don't have any interests.

You might try this approach:

Tell him that since he is getting a bit older, it is getting to be time to start learning skills that will make him more appealing to an employer. In fact, you can expand on this by saying that this is important to everything else in his later life as well since his job status, education and general skill level will also help him attract a mate more effectively.

(say it all cleanly and plainly - you are not encouraging him to be interested in a specific person, but are trying to help him find ways of taking greater responsibility for his life and his future by focusing on things that will later benefit him such as a better job or a better looking girlfriend)

Tell him that the real problem is that you (the mother) cannot make decisions for him about how he wants _his_ life to turn out.

Tell him that you would like to put the decision in his hands.

Tell him that you will look for ways to help him build some real life skills and will back it up with real support.

It doesn't look like you are in a low income situation, so choose a budget for this project (remember, it's a long term project). If it were me, I'd choose $100 US and $25 a month put into the project. Perhaps hold out the option of one new project per year. If he needs additional funding, he can work within the budget constraints and wait. If it's too expensive, he won't be able to do it exactly as he wants.

It can be any type of skill that he likes. The results can be fun or enjoyable, but the goal is to learn to do something _well_.

Some ideas:
Learning to fix and maintain a BMX bicycle.
Learning to use and repair skateboards.
Learning to play/make/repair a musical instrument
Learning to cook - especially with a particular style
Learning to create, film and edit high quality movies
Learning the basics of a new language.
Learning to race radio controlled cars
Learning to fly a radio controlled airplane/helicopter
Learning how to make insect display boards
Learning how to work a 3D modeling program like Rhinoceros or Bryce.
Learning how to work with fiberglass and paint vehicles like scooters or motorcycles (or how to paint with an airbrush)

Put emphasis on letting him make the decisions and making sure he feels responsible for his project.

Make sure that you too take the time to educate yourself about the subject so you can converse with him, perhaps to provide subtle guidance.

You can plan a 'sit down time' (short - 5-10 minutes, no longer) every 1-3 months to get progress reports and discuss obstacles and goals for his one year plan.

The movie "The Last Samurai" made an interesting observation about Asian culture. It doesn't matter what job or task people have to do, they simply put themselves to doing the best they can at that task.

That was in reference to the Japanese, but it can easily apply to any other culture - especially in multicultural Singapore.

What did parents do in the olden days? Well they didn't have to compete as much with TV, video games and the net.

Kids were instilled with a sense of responsibility from a very early age. Chores were often introduced at a young age - jobs around the house. Also, if they didn't do their chores, they wouldn't get dinner. Sometimes this was because there just wasn't any dinner. Responsibility therefore was a very real and significant part of their lives.

They also weren't afraid to use 'the belt' to set up a system of rigid authority. You are too late to make any drastic changes to the way you handle discipline.

It does indeed sound like your child has a problem with frustration. He probably already faces or will later face depression. Frustration and depression are closely linked.

It may be that an anti anxiety drug in small doses would be helpful for him. It was for me. Remember that these drugs are very powerful and doctors often prescribe things very suddenly and very strongly (with good reason - they need to see the immediate effects quickly). But especially for a child, you may wish to use half doses for the first few days. This can help reduce the shock and dramatic shifting that can result.

I think you have some things you can do before you have to go as far as letting him go elsewhere.

How many of you knew you wanted to marry your spouse within a short period of time, but ended up divorced?

Ive noticed a lot of people on here who say they "knew" their spouse was "the one" within a very short period of time---but I also know that 50% of marriages end in divorce (or more?) Is it cynical of me to think that when you think its "the one" you may not always be correct? Im just curious what the rest of the world thinks...Im not sure I can always trust my feelings. I know that I ve thought Ive met "the one" a few times! ;)

Answer: I never have the feeling "the one” I knew my husband from a group of friends but I never though I will marry him because he was so far away. I am living in New York, and my husband in Singapore. We talk a lot from the Internet, we wrote so many very long emails everyday. I always consider him as a friend. I was expecting the one showing up, but I never have that kind of feeling. After a year of communication, we met each other at Singapore. I still didn't get that kind of feeling, but he does. After another year, then we get married.

People always value their feeling too high, but feeling is a very sensitive item. It change all the time. I love my husband and happily married for 7 years, but I didn't falling in love with him all the sudden. I learnt to love him from his personality, working experience, friends, and his past history. He basically told me everything, and these stories are all true. He is a very honest man, and he has a retard brother and parents he has to take care. He paid his family’s entire bill, but it didn't scare me away, because I know he is trust worthy.

It takes me 2 years to make a decision to marry him, but I am glad I did make a right choice. Sometime a real good man never gave you that kind of romantically feeling, but he is 100 times better then those playboy.

Some guys are fun to be with, but they only melt in your month, not in your hand. They are irresponsible, selfish, and immature. They may look very successful and charming on the outside, but all they care is they. If you told them you are pregnant, then you will see the real him. If he said, honey I love you, let's get married and start a family. Then congratulation, you find a good man; if he say anything else, then you knew no matter how old they are, they are still immature. They only focus on their own need. Even if you get married, I guarantee the marriage won't last.

The feeling is important, but what is more important is how well you know the man, and do both of you willing to live together for the rest of your life. For richer or poor, healthy or ill? If one of you have a crisis in life, but the other one is perfectly fine, will you/him to help the less fortunate one? If the answer is NO, then the feeling isn't right. You should make the decision on the rational decision, not the up in the air "feeling".


God bless you

How much should a 53, 14 year old girl weigh?

I have a medium frame, pear-ish shaped.


Thanks(:
I am not.short. -.-
and there is no way im going to get myself to weight 95 pounds. i wont even consider trying to get that skinny, i dont want my freaking bones showing. i weighed 95 pounds when i was in like 5th grade..:P


Answer: Before I saw the additional details, I was like 100 pounds? But after that, maybe not.

But you know, I live in Singapore. The people here are mostly really healthy and thin.
For example, I am 5'1 and I weigh 83 pounds. I am in sixth or seventh grade (12 years old). That might be really thin to you, but it is considered healthy or maybe only borderline underweight. The teenagers here HARDLY, i stress HARDLY hit 120 or maybe even 115 pounds until they are like 17? I don;t know, my mum herself is only 125 pounds and she already considers herself FAT.

Yeah it may sound shocking, but it's true. Our average weight for girls my age: 99 pounds.
I have a friend who weighs 105 pounds ( 48kg approx), and we go like " OMG Elena? You weigh 48 kg?" She is considered fat.

So, I would say you should go for 120 pounds and NOTHING MORE!
