[Iraq] - ISIS kills US Navy SEAL in attack
https://sg.news.yahoo.com/kills-navy-seal-iraq-us-official-162230555.html
The Islamic State group broke through Kurdish defences in northern Iraq on Tuesday and killed a US Navy SEAL deployed as part of the US-led coalition against the jihadists.
Two US military personnel had already been killed by the jihadists in Iraq: an American Marine by rocket fire in March and a special forces soldier who died of wounds received during a raid last October.
Obama repeatedly pledged that there would be no "boots on the ground" to combat IS, but the administration has since sought to define the term as meaning something other than American forces being on the ground and in combat.
"They are wearing boots, and they are on the ground, but that... doesn't mean that they are in large-scale ground combat," State Department spokesman John Kirby recently told journalists.

[Indonesia] - 14-year-old schoolgirl gang-raped by 14 men, then tied up and beaten to death. In Indonesia alone, there are 35 cases of rape reported every day, which means the actual cases of rape may be as high as 350 every day (since only 10% of rapes are reported), or 127,750 women raped every year in Indonesia alone.

[France] - Muslim journalist goes undercover for 6 months to infiltrate ISIS.
"One of the main lessons was that I never saw any Islam in this affair, this was just senseless terrorism by lost, frustrated, suicidal, misguided and manipulated youths, not Islam."

Kardashev scale (technological classifications of planetary civlizations) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kardashev_scale
Dyson sphere (as indicative evidence of extraterrestrial civilizations) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyson_sphere
Fermi paradox : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_paradox
The Fermi paradox is a conflict between arguments of scale and probability that seem to favor intelligent life being common in the universe, and a total lack of evidence of intelligent life having ever arisen anywhere other than on the Earth.
Hypothetical explanations for the paradox :
1 Extraterrestrial life is rare or non-existent
2 No other intelligent species have arisen
3 Intelligent alien species lack advanced technology
4 It is the nature of intelligent life to destroy itself
5 It is the nature of intelligent life to destroy others
6 Periodic extinction by natural events
7 Inflation hypothesis and the youngness argument
8 Intelligent civilizations are too far apart in space or time
9 It is too expensive to spread physically throughout the galaxy
10 Human beings have not existed long enough
11 Humans are not listening properly
12 Civilizations broadcast detectable radio signals only for a brief period of time
13 They tend to isolate themselves
14 They are too alien
15 Everyone is listening, no one is transmitting
16 Earth is deliberately not contacted
17 Earth is purposely isolated (planetarium hypothesis)
18 It is dangerous to communicate
19 They are here undetected
20 They are here unacknowledged -

Despite LKY's obvious dislike for Dr Chee's petulant antics, for some strange reason, LKY ended up dishing out sound political advice for Dr Chee, his arch-nemesis during the Lee vs Chee 2008 defamation suit hearing.
LKY's advice for Chee was simple, he said in Court "I am suggesting to Dr Chee that if he follows the constitutional route, with his eloquence, if he can establish credibility with his eloquence, he has a better chance than Mr Low Thia Kiang or Mr Chiam See Tong."
In essence, Lee Kuan Yew felt that if Dr Chee mellowed down on his confrontational politics and played by the rules, he could become a politician more formidable than veterans like Low Thia Khiang and Chiam See Tong. In fact, Dr Chee could become the defacto leader of the Opposition if he could put his eloquence to credible use. From these exchanges, it is clear that both men have Singaporeans' interest at heart and had their own unique way of showing it.
Now at this Bukit Batok 2016 by-election, look at Dr Chee's demeanor, look at his firm standing on moral highground, his refusal to partake in gutter politics, has Dr Chee finally heeded the advice of the late Lee Kuan Yew and at long last fulfilled his political potential?
Majulah Singapura, Majulah LKY, Majulah Dr Chee!
