Your Song
Hey Jude is a song written by Paul McCartney in August 1968 to comfort John Lennon's son, Julian, during his parents' divorce. "And any time you feel the pain hey jude refrain, don't carry the world upon your shoulders".
Smoke on the Water was released in 1972 to tell the story of Deep Purple in Montreux to record an album. In the Montreux Casino where Frank Zappa performed, some stupid with a flare gun destroyed the entire casino complex.
Hotel California is written about the greed in the music industry of the late 1970s. Don Henley interpreted it as the high life in Los Angeles.
Garden Party is a 1972 hit song by Rick Nelson written after being booed off the stage at Madison Square Garden. He played The Rolling Stones' "Honky Tonk Women" and the crowd began to boo probably wanting to listen to his original hits. But Nelson wrote and sung "You see, you can't please everyone, so you've got to please yourself" and the final verse "But if memories were all I sang, I'd rather drive a truck."
American Pie a 1971 hit by Don McLean, with its line about 'the day the music died' is about the air crash death of Buddy Holly in 1959.
The House of the Rising Sun is a folk song of unknown writer. It was about life gone wrong in New Orleans. In 1964 The Animals make it a number one hit. There are 2 versions of why the song was written. One is about a brothel in New Orleans. The other about a women's prison in New Orleans, hence the "ball and chain" in the song.
Eric Clapton's Tears in Heaven was written about the pain and loss following the death of his four-year-old son Conor in New York in 1991.
"Leader of the Band" is a song written by Dan Fogelberg for his father Lawrence Fogelberg in 1981.
Thousands of Bulgarians flocked to the country's seaside in the wee hours of the last day of June to meet the first sun rays on the 1st of July. It began 30 years ago as a symbolic protest against the communist government. The song "July Morning" a hit by Uriah Heep in 1972 was adpoted as the anthem of the celebrations.
"Candle in the Wind" is a song by Elton John in 1973 in honour of Marilyn Monroe, who died 11 years earlier. The opening line "Goodbye Norma Jeane" refers to Monroe's real name.
James Taylor's Fire and Rain was a hit in 1970. The song is about his experiences in mental institutions and also about Suzanne Schnerr, a childhood friend who committed suicide. "Suzanne the plans they made put an end to you"

Weather Forecast
Many old folks swear it will rain when their joints begin to hurt.
And many old folks swear it will rain when dizziness hit them.
Now many folks young and old will swear it will rain by smelling the air.
The smell is called petrichor, the scent of rain falling on dry earth.
It’s caused by a couple of compounds in the soil, one of them known as geosmin.
The human nose, not normally considered a particularly acute instrument, is extraordinarily sensitive to geosmin which is produced by several types of bacteria and algae.
When a storm threatens and a few molecules of geosmin waft your way, that signifies rain is imminent shortly.

Casino Ruckus
Singapore is a new kid on the casino block.
A Singapore woman went to Marina Bay Sands casino on 18 October 2011.
"Suddenly, I struck the Bonus Cash jackpot of $416,742.11." she said.
A manager of the casino told her that the jackpot machine had malfunctioned.
He explained that the machine's top prize is a car, and that its highest cash payout is only $50,000.
The woman refused to settle with the manager's explanation and followed with a legal letter to Marina Bay Sands.
Sensing bad publicity, Marina Bay Sands casino agreed to pay $416,742.11 which the winner will be donating to various charities.
The woman has vowed that she will never visit casinos again.

People Bonding
Karaoke was invented in 1973 in Kobe, Japan.
40 years on, it is still as popular as the day Japanese, tone deaf or otherwise took to the microphone.
Community bonding using karaoke competitions is a good way of getting the people together regardless of skin colour or language.
Music is a universal language.

Pawnshops
Glamourise the unglam. This is what pawnshops are doing.
One has even open a branch at Orchard Road, where no man has ventured.
Pawn shops date back to ancient times. The rise of popularity of pawn shops is due to the public needs to borrow small sums of money that banks are not willing to provide.
The pawn business is almost always inherited.
There is no other business like the pawn business which is somewhat recession-proof.
Every time an item is pawned, the pawnshop owner knows that it could be on his shelf for sale.
So how did pawnshops actually started?
In Italy two monks saw the poor needed material help first and spiritual comfort afterward. They started a pawnbrokering business and never look back.
Some say the earliest recorded lending institutions started in ancient China more than 3,000 years ago.

My Dear Beloved,
Good day to you and your family,
I have not considered this medium to be the best manner to have approached you of this issue being that the internet has been greatly abused over the recent years, I have decided to use this means seeing no other means could have been faster to reach you than the e-mail.
My name is Mr. Edmond Laing a merchant in the U.K, I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer. It has defile all forms of medical treatment, and right now, I have only about a few months to live according to medical experts.
I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone (not even myself) but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for.
But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world.
I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I could live my life a different way from how i have lived it.
Now that God has called me,I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends.
I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so,I have decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. I want to believe that you will be capable of handling this task for me.
I will wait to hear from you to know if you are capable of doing this favor for me, God will bless you as you decide to do this.I will wait for your urgent response'' thank you for deciding to be used by GOD for this task.
Thank you
Mr.Edmond Laing

Black or White
In a landmark ruling in 2008, the Pretoria High Court officially declared the Chinese in South Africa as “black”.
The ruling is the culmination of an eight-year struggle by the Chinese Association of South Africa (Casa) to obtain clarity from the Government as to the status of Chinese people since the end of white rule in 1994.
Under white minority rule the Chinese were classified as Coloureds.
Casa welcomed the court ruling, saying that for the first time in years Chinese South Africans had a firm legal status in society. The Chinese community is now entitled to the benefits from preferential legislation such as the Employment Equity Act and the Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) Act which seek to promote and uplift the economic status of people of colour in South Africa.
This is a blast into the past.
Researchers have fresh evidence that Chinese people are descended from Africans.
In 1988 Professor Stephen Oppenheimer broke the news that everyone alive on the planet today carries DNA that can be traced back to a single woman living in Africa over 150,000 years ago.
No matter if it is a white cat or a black cat; as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat said Deng Xiao Ping the late leader of the Communist Party of China.

Bloomberg reported on 30 September 2011.
The 15 mile-per-hour winds that buffeted northern Germany on July 24 caused the nation’s 21,600 windmills to generate so much power that utilities such as EON AG and RWE AG had to pay consumers to take it off the grid.
How lucky can the Germans get ?

Wind In Your Ears
Have you occassionally ever hear your own breathing inside the ears ?
Or hear yourself talking like you are inside a barrel ?
It is one of those occassions where the Eustachian Tube is open when it is naturally suppose to be closed.
The medical dudes called it PET - Patulous Eustachian Tube.
Or hear yourself talking like you are inside a barrel ?
It is one of those occassions where the Eustachian Tube is open when it is naturally suppose to be closed.
The medical dudes called it PET - Patulous Eustachian Tube.Before you rush yourself into the nearest clinic, you can temporarily alleviate the symptom by sitting in a chair with your head between the knees.
You can also perform a routine of lying down four times a day with legs elevated to around 20 inches for at least two weeks. Best upon waking, and before retiring for the day.
Watch what is happening in the ear when PET occurs.Saturday, September 17, 2011

The Explorers
The Portuguese began the colonisation of new found land in the 1400s.
Portugal was a leading European power, ranking with England, France and Spain in terms of economic, political, and cultural influence.
Today 500 years later, a new wave of exploration has begun. Not by sea this time.
Space exploration.
It is the beginning of a new era in space exploration where the US and Russia will build the capabilities to send humans deeper into space.
How will it be in 500 years time ?
Will humanity be prepared for the greatest discoveries of the history of our civilization?
Will we find other intelligent civilizations far older and incredibly superior than our technological capabilities and collective wisdom?

Why ?
In this era of high technology and living standards, there are rogue leaders in the global communities that has no qualms to kill their own countrymen to stay in power.
The charred remains of more than 50 bodies were found inside a warehouse in Tripoli. They were believed killed on Tuesday 22 August, in the dying days of Col Gadaffi regime.
It has been estimated that about 60,000 men were arrested by the regime in the past six months. The fear is that more atrocities will come to light.
And 60 years ago during the second Worls War, Germany's Adolf Hitler carried out a programme of genocide which killed about 6 million people mainly of Jewish descent.
Research from Britanica has proven that Hitler actually had breeding farms in Germany where volunteer teenage girls were impregnated by blond, blue-eyed SS- men, to bear children for the Fuhrer. He was was trying to play God, he wanted to create a new world order.
Why did Hitler hated the Jews so much ?
Firstly it was suspected that the jews were the cause of Germanys downfall in WW1.
Hitler’s animosity towards Jews is that his rejection from the Vienna Art Academy (in which Jews were prominent) embittered him.
Hitler lived in Vienna from 1907 to 1913. He wanted to become an artist to make himself a name in field of arts. He was twice rejected from the Vienna Academy of Fine Art. He claimed that the professors that rejected him were Jewish.
Hitler said in a speech given in Munich in July 1922 - the Jews are a people of robbers.
And during the same period of the war, Japan carries out the mass genocide of chinese civilians in Nanjing.
After the war, an International Military Tribunal indicated the total number killed were over 200,000.
Will such killings ceased as the world enter a period of economic growth ?
No one can answer that. Not even God.

With the collaboration of Franco Dragone of Cirque du Soleil fame, the show continued for an additional two years for an undisclosed sum.
