Work place exercise

There is a saying, if you love your work, you don’t have to work a single day. These words are becoming truer today just be a little tweaking in the work place and helping employees to do their work differently. Read in the media that Sheng Siong, the supermarket is teaching its staff how to live well and how to work well, how to stand, how to bend, how to carry things the right way. This reminds me of the elderly woman that picks cardboard for a living and in the process she is doing some exercise at the same time. This is killing two birds with one stone, working and exercising, or like not working but just enjoying an exercise regime.

It would not be a bad idea if organizations with manual workers redesign the way they work, how to carry things, lift things, put things up and down or moving around and turn them into an exercise routine. The staff could be strutting around in style, or doing short sprints in the warehouse or supermarket. There are plenty of space to do such exercises. Maybe change their uniforms to sports gear and instead of dragging their feet, they could be jogging or sprinting. These routines are good for health too and can keep the staff happily engaged in positive thinking, not working.

And yes, add in the music to go with it. The organizations would have happy and jovial people, physically fit and healthy, working and exercising at the same time. I am exercising the joints of my fingers at the moment. I also practice exercising my eye muscles by looking at the screens. I also exercise my mind to prevent dementia setting in. How nice, doing so many exercise at the same time punching the keys on the keyboard.

Now is this not thinking out of the box, turning boring routines in the workplace into exercises and the workplace a nice gym for the staff?

Oh, if there is a train break down, make a public announcement that it is exercise time. The commuters must be told to lug along their jogging gear. And they can change into them and start jogging to their destinations and can thank the MRT for the opportunity to jog. It is all in the mind. Get fit, go green ya?

The Doctrine of Christian Discovery and Manifest Destiny

Why did the West go on the rampage to terrorise the world with merciless killings, genocide, aggression and conquest during the last one thousand years. To understand this psyche of Western Christiandom aggression and expansion we need to know the insidious doctrine they practise. The West strongly believe in their Doctrine of Christian Discovery which later sprouted into the American Doctrine of Manifest Destiny to justify the White American destruction and conquest  of Native American Indians as well as the eventual conquest of Mexican lands, Hawaii, Guam and other Island kingdoms in the Pacific Ocean.

What is this Doctrine of Christian Discovery? This is a very ancient Catholic doctrine and it goes back to  the year 1095, at the beginning of the Crusades. The doctrine is based on the edicts issued by the Popes. In that year 1095 Pope Urban the Second issued an edict called the Papal Bull Terra Nullius. This edict gave the Christian kings and princes of Europe the right to conquer lands from non-Christians
wherever they may be. And in 1492 Pope Nicholas V issued the Bull Romanus Pontifex, declaring war  against all non-Christians throughout the world and authorizing the conquest of their nations and territories. These edicts proclaimed that non-Christians are uncivilized and subhuman and therefore have no rights to any land or nation. The Popes and all the Christian leaders claimed that their Christian God had given the Christians the right to take control of all lands . Armed with these ancient Papal edicts the European Christian countries used them to justify their wars of aggression , colonization, killings and genocide and even trafficked in human slavery.

With this Doctrine of Discovery Christopher Columbus set sail for America in 1492. On the very first day when he set foot on America he performed the ceremony  to immediately  acquire all the lands of the natives for the king of Spain.The following year 1493, Pope Alexander Vl issued the bull Inter Cetera, granting Spain the right to conquer all the lands in America.

By around 1600 , The Doctrine of Discovery was deeply rooted in the Western minds of Christian kingdoms and this led to the conquest of non-Christian lands and people in every part of the world. The concept that white people and Christians have certain divine rights was so ingrained in American national policies that others like the black people of Africa  and the native Americans were treated as subhuman. This enable the white men and the Christians to justify their treatment of black  people with violence and enslavement and the theft of Native American lands with impunity and justification.In 1823, the Doctrine of Discovery was written into U.S. law as a way to deny land rights to Native Americans .  And in 1845 the Doctrine of Discovery was further refined by the Americans with uniquely American flavour with a new term called Manifest Destiny to justify and defend U.S. expansion and claims to new territories. Under the principles of  Doctrine of Discovery and Manifest Destiny the Americans adopted very fierce policy of land acquisition and expansion which proved disastrous to Native Americans, African Americans, Mexicans and others abroad like Hawaii, Guam and other Pacific Ocean islanders. Thus wherever white American Christians go there goes genocide. European Americans had genocided almost ninety-five percent of Native Americans and about seventy to eighty percent natives of Hawaii and Guam.
 
The effects of Manifest Destiny continues today in new extended forms. Under Manifest Destiny America claims the right to impose its democracy on other countries and to carry out regime change on foreign governments which do not toe the American line. American talk about globalization, preemptive war and the responsibilities of U.S. as the world's only superpower reflects the principles of Doctrine of Discovery and Manifest Destiny.
When America carried out regime change in former Yugoslavia, Eastern Europe, Iraq , Libya  and Afghanistan it reflected its Doctrine of Discovery and Manifest Destiny in action. American interference in the South China Sea issues is part of its Manifest Destiny in action. Lastly by using the principles of Manifest Destiny America justifies its actions in interfering in the internal affairs of many other countries in this world especially in South America and in dangerously trying to topple the governments of Iran, North Korea, Russia and China.

The Doctrine of Christian Discovery holds a world view that Christians (European Christians) have a right sanctioned by God to take non-Christian lands and property and assert political control over the indigenous inhabitants living in those lands based on their different religious beliefs The Doctrine of Discovery grows out from a perverted understanding of God's designation of a chosen people that has god's blessing or heavenly sanction to do un-God-like acts in the name of God.Columbus and other European explorers depended on this concept to justify their invasion and conquest of Indigenous lands in both North and South America, Africa, Australia,Asia and New Zealand. The Doctrine of Christian Discovery originated from a Catholic Popes's edict , 'Dum Diversas'   The edict 'Dum Diversas' states that, " We grant you [ Kings of Spain and Portugal ] by these present documents , with our Apostolic Authority, full and free permission to invade, search out, capture and subjugate the Saracens and pagans and any other unbelievers and enemies of Christ wherever they may be , as well as their kingdoms , duchies, counties , principalities and other property  ... and to reduce their persons into perpetual slavery. " Here we see the Doctrine of Christian Discovery embodies and sanction the evil code  which condones the domination of one people by another. In invoking the Doctrine of Discovery Spain in 1513, made used of it to justify the assertion that " God through historical Saint Peter and appointed Papal successors, held authority as ruler over the entire Earth, and that Inter Caetera Papal Bull, of May1493 by Pope AlexanderVI, conferred title over all the Americas to the Spanish monarchs. "  Armed with this Doctrine all subsequent European Christian countries asserted the right that with the help of God they would enter any pagan land to make conquest and subjugate the people to slavery.

The present ill-effects of the Doctrine of Discovery and subsequent off shoot the American Manifest Destiny is that they tend to label non-Christians as subhuman and therefore deprive them of Human Rights, thus giving the white men and the Americans the justification to attack, invade and deprive indigenous people of their lands.The evil and insidious Doctrine of Discovery and the American Manifest Destiny have been the cause of most of the past and present world conflicts and violence. America is using its Manifest Destiny to justify its  intereference with other countries internal affairs, to topple governments and carry out regime change, to defraud the world in the monetary affairs of currency and finance via the banks and stock exchange , to cheat on international trade under its hidden agenda and to destabilise countries that serve the American purpose of asserting hegemony over all countries and all peoples.

The Doctrine of Discovery and the Manifest Destiny are so evil that the United Nations should officially denounced them and make the countries responsible for the doctrines renounce them and revoke them. Only when this is done , the world will be safer and have more peace.

PS. The western media and powers would not want to be reminded of this shameful and inhuman Doctrine against the people of the world that were colonised, raped and killed by them in the name of God. The current Pope and many western intellectuals have recognised the evilness of their forefathers and are too embarrassed by their actions. Some understood the hypocrisy of the Americans touting human rights and all the shit but many American leaders are still unrepentant and still pushing their hypocrisy to the unthinking coloured people of the world. The saddest thing is that many coloured people of the world refused to see this hypocrisy and insisted that there is no such things, they did not want to know. And they insisted on believing the Great White God and the Doctrine of Christian Discovery and American Manifest Destiny. Many of these coloured people are in Southeast Asia and many are in the little Red Dot. Some are regulars in this blog.

It is so pathetic.

The Great White God

To the believers, the unthinking believers, the Great White God is all goodness, fair, just, compassionate, loving, caring, a protector, the virtues of all virtues. They blindly believe so and refuse to see the real Great White God. They would not want to know the evilness of the Great White God even when all the evidence of wickedness is staring right in front of their eyes.

The Great White God is kind and loving and generous but with many conditions. You must respect and honour him, pledge to love him, obey him, prostrate in front of him, praise him and do as he pleases, and cannot believe in another God. The Great White God has decreed all other Gods as Satan and evil. Love no other God except me, the one and only Great White God.

What about the evil things done by the wicked Great White God? No, he does not do evil, he is all wholesome goodness! Remove the blinkers and see the truth, see the ugly truths and be set free from the evil Great White God. I know the silly and unthinking believers would not want to know the evil deeds of the Great White God. They just want to hear the good stuff and stuffed their ears with shit so that they would not hear the truth, the bad stuff of the Great White God.

But I must tell, to wake these shitty unthinking believers of the Evil One and thinking he is the Great White God.

Ask the Great White God how he came to live in the Promised Land, how the Promised Land is now the land of the Great White God? Were there inhabitants in the Promised Land and what happened to the inhabitants? How many were there and how many left after the butchering, under the Great White Decree to kill all the natives? How many million natives were murdered by the Great White God?

Ask the Great White God what he used to be the beasts of burden, to plough and toil the land, to water his trees, and to pluck the cotton in the cotton fields? Ask the Great White God how he amused himself with the women he called slaves, treated them as their comfort women, to entertain their guests, to make merry, only to dump them in the squatters after used, to seek solace with the beasts of burden.

Where did the beasts of burden come from? How manly millions of beasts of burden were hunted down, captured and transported to the Promised Land to toil the land for the good of the Great White God? How many died in the Great Exodus from Africa to the Promised Land of the Great White God in chains? How many died from beating, from hunger, from over exertion, from being kept tightly together in cages? Where is Kunta Kinte?

Ask the Great White God how much land they took from the Mexicans by pointing a gun at them? Ask the Great White God how they came to acquire so many islands in the Pacific Ocean? By showering the natives with love and kindness, or by grace, or by the gun and killings?

Ask the Great White God how many Pinoys they killed after getting rid of the Spanish God to occupy the Philippines?

Ask the Great White God how many Japanese were killed by the wrath of God when two A bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, killing young and old, male and female, no female left to be slaves?

Ask the Great White God how many Koreans and Vietnamese were killed in God’s righteous and holy war against the non believers? Ask the Great White God how many tons of Agent Orange and other chemical agents were scattered over Vietnam to fertilise the land? Heard of children of Agent Orange?

Ask the Great White God how many other Gods they murdered, killed or assassinated in the name of peace and harmony?

Ask the Great White God how many innocent Arabs, the heathens, were killed by the great flood of bombs raining from the sky by the chariots of the Great White God? Didn’t the Great White God find any Arabs virtuous enough to be spared to live in the Garden of Eden? Didn’t the Great White God want to keep the women as slaves anymore?

Collateral? What is that? Should ask Saddam Hussein and Mahmood Gaddafi or Osama? What is the difference between God Obama and Satan Osama, who killed and maimed more people?

Ask the Great White God what is he doing in the South China Sea, to bring peace on earth or to start another war? The Great White God has been fighting unceasing wars since the end of the WW2 in the name of peace and continue to kill and maim the heathen, the unthinking coloured people.

Now I want to ask the unthinking and blind believers, did they find a new truth, that the Great White God is not all kindness, love, and peace. He is just as evil as he accused Satan of.  Actually he is many many times more evil than Satan, killing more people in his wars of peace and freedom.  Remove your blinkers and seek the truth. The truth shall set you free, from the evil Great White God. His mission is to create wars and to kill and kill, the unthinking coloured people that refused to worship him. 

Do not be deceived. Do not deceived yourself and be blinded by the deceit of the Great White God.

Audit Singapore Research to Prevent Fraud

Need to battle Singapore Universities Research Fraud

by MIKOspace

The recent opening of the S$450m Fusionopolis Two complex provides more opportunities for research and startup collaboration between the private and public sectors. At its Opening Ceremony, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong envisioned a network of Singapore enterprises and people who "are never satisfied with the world as it is and constantly strive to improve, and are forever hungry and bold."  PM Lee said that what is needed to realise the vision to make the latest Singapore's Research & Development (R&D) and innovation hub work are "ideas, initiative and a strong network of enterprises and institutions, driven by the spirit of research and entrepreneurship".

To his list, I would add un-impeachable levels of integrity and exceptional authenticity as well as honesty.

As the bulk of Singapore R&D is government-funded, it is incumbent on public research funding bodies such as A*Star and the Singapore Research Foundation, as well as Government Ministries and Statutory Boards, among others, to have concrete measures to audit research claims and publications of prospective public research fund recipients, who are mostly University Professors and Research Fellows. No research audit measures for research claims authentication and genuine authorships of research papers are presently deployed.

As research grants using public funds grow, the need to exercise for due diligence to root out and prevent fraudulent research practices become more urgent and imperative.

Promoting honest research means weeding out fraudulent researchers with multiple-cloned research papers. The multiplication of research papers University Professors and Research Fellows is not obvious from a simple listing of publications, since the same paper could appear with different titles. Some have multiplied a single paper more than five times, and over a few years.  

Government Research Funding bodies can start with current recipients of public research funds, which are channeled mostly to local Universities. Research fund recipients should submit copies of all their past research papers. Funds should be granted only to actual research investigators, and not to their supervisors or managers to prevent opportunities for 'gift' authorships. This is where supervisors and managers are often included as research paper 'authors' when they did not contribute significantly or at all.

Public research grant providers should monitor the number of research groups of which recipients have claimed membership. As research is time-consuming, time-intensive and knowledge-driven, it is important to limit research group membership to no more than three or, at most, four.

Fewer research group memberships are preferred for diverse research focus to ensure a more equitable spread of research funds, as well as prevent supervisors and managers from dominating research for fraudulent purposes.

Singapore research excellence must embrace honest research with a high level of conscious integrity by actively weeding out fraudulent researchers and their managers.

Research publication listings must be audited. A new culture that emphasises the more meaningful research impact of patents, inventions and discoveries would also prevent research fraud.

Researchers should also demonstrate the continuous relevance and currency of their expert knowledge through regular high-level consulting assignments with industry and social organisations.

Haze – Be a good neighbour like Najib

Vice President of Indonesia, Jusuf Kalla, is praising Najib of Malaysia for not complaining about the haze over several parts of Malaysia. Good boy, that is the way to behave to be a good neighbour. Malaysia does not have a jungle of trees and should be grateful for the oxygen provided by Indonesia.

Now who are the ungrateful ones, the bad neighbours that are complaining about Indonesia causing the haze?  It is unfair, Indonesia cannot stop the haze spreading in the region. That is an undeniable truth. How can Indonesia stop the haze from blowing into neighbouring countries? Impossible right?  Blame it on the winds.

And who are the unfriendly neighbours that did not offer help and only complained and criticised? Not me, not me, I don’t want to be unfriendly to the Indonesians.

Pak Jusuf, actually ah, your neighbours are not complaining about the haze lah. They are just hoping that Indonesia can help to stop the companies lighting up and burning the peat lands to clear them for their plantations lah. This one can help or not? And also, actually your neighbours are not criticizing Indonesia lah, they are  just not happy with the companies that are causing the haze lah. Don’t take it so personally can? Indonesia and the companies burning the peat lands are two different entities lah. Betul? So, can your neighbours criticize these companies or not? Boleh tak?

Or can you please tell the companies not to burn until everyone cannot breathe, even the Indonesians are suffering from the haze.  Tolong, tolong Pak Jusuf, don’t get angry, your neighbours are not criticizing you or angry with you. This part I know. You are alright, nice man. No one is blaming you. Relax!
