It pits the teams against each other as they strive to keep their citizens' commitment and support for their nation strong, while fighting a common terrorist threat.

The game is designed for Secondary School students, with a focus on Uniformed Groups for the initial roll-out. Bringing Total Defence to Life! It will be held from April to August and will involve primarily youths. The discussions will also gather ideas to support the refresh of the five TD icons shown below.

Through the sharing of stories, visuals and co-created content tagged with WeAreTotalDefence, we hope that more Singaporeans will recognise how their everyday actions can contribute to Total Defence and be inspired to do more to keep Singapore safe and strong.

From 7 February to 19 March , the Singapore Discovery Centre SDC will be organising a special Total Defence exhibition targeted at students in the primary, secondary and tertiary levels.

The experiential showcase will comprise three thematic zones: i reflecting on the fall of Singapore; ii recognising that threats are evolving and hence the continued relevance of Total Defence then and now; and iii appreciating how individuals have played and can continue to play their part in Total Defence. As with past years, representatives from government organisations, uniformed services, diplomatic corps, business associations, religious organisations, veterans and families of the victims, as well as students will be attending the memorial event.

The NeverAgainSG Movement aims to raise nationwide awareness of the significance of 15 February Fall of Singapore by inviting individuals to pledge their commitment to do their part to defend our nation.

Total Defence was also envisioned to build up in peacetime the people's determination to stand up for Singapore under all circumstances through its core of Psychological Defence. Evolution of TD. In , Defence Minister Dr Ng Eng Hen talked about how Singapore's Total Defence strategy is the "exact antagonist" of hybrid warfare, an orchestrated campaign to fracture the solidarity of the target nation through undermining its defences in civil, economic, social, psychological and military spheres.

At the Committee of Supply Debate in , he reiterated that hybrid warfare is the "antithesis of Total Defence". Over the years, the relevance of Total Defence as a concept to tackle national challenges has thus increased in the light of the ever evolving threat landscape.

However, while the narrative and theme of TD has always been adjusted and adapted over the years to reflect the security threats and challenges Singapore faces, the core message then and now remains relevant — that every Singaporean has a part to play through each pillar of TD. TD Themes. The posters below reflect the evolving narratives of Total Defence since , from rallying behind the SAF to addressing threats like terrorism and encouraging Singaporeans to play a part and put TD into action in their daily lives.

The first TD logo, in the familiar shape of a hand, was the winning entry of a competition organised by the Ministry of Defence back in The guidelines were to design a logo that would depict the first TD theme, "There's a part for everyone in total defence of Singapore".

This led Kerala to its universal literacy movement, and then to it becoming the first state to achieve universal literacy.

Panicker travelled through the state and went from village to village, talking about the values of reading. In his lifetime, he was able to bring about libraries within the network. He was the General Secretary of the association for 32 years — till In the year, the association was taken over by the State government, and became the Kerala State Library Council. Once the Sangham was taken over and converted into Kerala State Library Council, Panicker was disappointed by the political interference.

However, allergic reactions can occur. Talk to your doctor about the benefits and risks of receiving contrast solution in your child's case. As the exam proceeds, your child will hear repetitive sounds from the machine, which are normal. Your child may be given headphones to listen to music or earplugs to block the noise and will have access to a call button in case he or she becomes uneasy during the test.

If sedated, your child will be monitored at all times by a machine that checks the heartbeat, breathing, and oxygen level. When the exam is over, the technician will help your child off the table; if sedation was used, your child may be moved to a recovery area.

MRIs are painless. Your child may have to lie still on the MRI table for minutes during the procedure, but there are brief breaks between each scan. Unless sedation is used or you're told otherwise, your child can immediately return to normal routines and diet. If your child feels cold lying on the MRI table, a blanket can be provided. Most sedation will wear off within hours, and any contrast material given should pass through the body in about 24 hours.

MRI images will be viewed by a radiologist who's specially trained in reading and interpreting the scans. The radiologist will send a report to your doctor, who will discuss the results with you and explain what they mean. In most cases, results can't be given directly to the patient or family at the time of the test. MRIs are safe and easy. No health risks have been associated with the magnetic field or radio waves, since the low-energy radio waves use no radiation. The procedure can be repeated without side effects.

If your child requires sedation, discuss the risks and benefits of sedation with your doctor. Also, because contrast solutions can cause allergic reactions in some kids, be sure to check with your doctor before your child receives any solution. Since MRE is able to recognize very slight differences in tissue density, there is the potential that it could also be used to detect cancer.

New MRI just for Kids MRI is potentially one of the best imaging modalities for children since unlike CT, it does not have any ionizing radiation that could potentially be harmful. However, one of the most difficult challenges that MRI technicians face is obtaining a clear image, especially when the patient is a child or has some kind of ailment that prevents them from staying still for extended periods of time.

As a result, many young children require anesthesia, which increases the health risk for the patient. By creating a pediatric coil made specifically for smaller bodies, the image can be rendered more clearly and quickly and will demand less MR operator skill. This will make MRIs cheaper, safer, and more available to children.

The faster imaging and motion compensation could also potentially benefit adult patients as well. He is developing a motion correction system that could greatly improve image quality for MR exams. This improvement could reduce cost since less repeat MR exams will have to take place due to poor quality as well as make MRI a viable option for many patients who are unable to remain still for the exam and reduce the amount of anesthesia used for MR exams.

However, researchers funded by NIBIB have discovered a way to inject specialized compounds hyperpolarized carbon 13 into prostate cancer patients to measure the metabolic rate of a tumor. This gives an insight into the activity of neurons in the brain. This technique has revolutionized brain mapping, by allowing researchers to assess the brain and spinal cord without the need for invasive procedures or drug injections.

Functional MRI helps researchers learn about the function of a normal, diseased, or injured brain. Standard MRI scans are useful for detecting anomalies in tissue structure.

However, an fMRI scan can help detect anomalies in activity. As such, doctors use fMRI to assess the risks of brain surgery by identifying the regions of the brain involved in critical functions, such as speaking, movement, sensing, or planning. MRI scans vary from 20 to 60 minutes , depending on what part of the body is being analyzed and how many images are required. If, after the first MRI scan, the images are not clear enough for the radiologist, they may ask the patient to undergo a second scan straight away.

Although braces and fillings are unaffected by the scan, they may distort certain images. The doctor and technician will discuss this beforehand. The MRI scan may take longer if additional images are required. It is important to stay as still as possible while in the MRI scanner. Any movement will distort the scanner and, therefore, the images produced will be blurry. The doctor and radiologist will be able to talk the patient through the whole procedure and address any anxieties. Open MRI scanners are available in some locations for certain body parts to help patients who have claustrophobia.

Unfortunately, there is no simple answer. Let a doctor know about the pregnancy before the scan. There have been relatively few studies on the effect of MRI scans on pregnancy. However, guidelines published in have shed more light on the issue. MRI scans should be restricted during the first trimester unless the information is considered essential.

MRI scans during the second and third trimester are safe at 3. The tesla is a measurement of magnetic strength. The guidelines also state that exposure to MRI during the first trimester is not linked to long-term consequences and should not raise clinical concerns.

Alli Bhandari. For those aspiring to follow in your footsteps, what advice would you offer to get them on the right track from the get-go, bearing in mind what you have already experienced? But I can prove that wrong in my own experience. I have gone out for many colour-blind auditions. Just look at young Hollywood, for example.

Like you, teen star Selena Gomez is female, comes from an ethnic background and is on a popular syndicated TV show. You are on two wink! I think the one difference between being on a Canadian show and a US one is just the amount of advertising that goes into US shows. This leads to more notoriety in the States versus Canada. And they just want you to be as perfect as humans. In Canada, we have more control over which jobs we want to do. I have done things from Disney to playing a nerd to playing a skank to playing a funny homegirl to playing a wife.

But there is going to come a time when that move to L. There will be a point where you will need to make that move happen. How do you intend to deal with the Hollywood machine?

So how do you control that, really? Their star profiles are what help them get visibility by media and in turn by the masses who pay to go see the movie. Like the Lindsay Lohan saga. Her mom was her manager and she pushed her and clearly got her to where she is, but at some point, it was obviously too much — her rebellion came to be, well, we all know what. Teen stars really do have quite the challenge. How do you personally balance it all?

How does that feel? It must feel pretty cool at your age — at any age, for that matter. As much as it was flattering in the beginning, now I just try and avoid these situations as I can see them coming now. How does a teenager with everything going on in her life all at the same time actually have time for a dude? Owen played by Daniel Kelly , the douchebag on the show. Before we were dating, we were best friends, so if nothing else, he is just more like someone to talk to, someone to vent to.

Secondly, I need someone who is very family-oriented because I am. Family comes before even my job for me. And in the future, if I were to have a family, I would want it to be the same as mine.

Especially since your insights are not due to overcoming severe challenges in life, which is how most of us learn them. I think this is also why even in a bad situation, you laugh — you see the positive in things rather than wallowing in the negative. When I was really young and I would get into trouble, I would laugh while I was being told off.

Pause On that rare occasion when you actually get a day off, what do you do? I shop a lot. Fashion has always been one of my passions. I am always drawing out sketches and making jewellery. And I have had a couple of custom-made clothes made where I draw it out and take it to a seamstress and they make it for me. In Heart of Glass, Alli and Johnny are making out in his car but Johnny stops her and says that she should get home as its almost nine, Alli asks for one more kiss but Johnny turns his head away.

I know why you're excited: You can't wait for your iDevice to update to iOS 6. Now Siri will be able to misunderstand what movie you want to see and present you with a link to Fandango. Or she may, as usual, think you want to dial the number of the nearest Chinese restaurant. And thus does technology march onward.

And as tech progresses so does the hacking of tech. A group of hackers going by the name "evad3rs" just announced that on Sunday, Feb. Although I'm sure you are familiar with jailbreaking , for the uninitiated, suffice it to say it is the process of freeing a phone from limitations originally imposed by the supplier, while retaining normal functions such as making telephone calls, accessing data networks and so on.

In Apple 's case, one of the big limitations jailbreaking overcomes is the ability to install software from sources other than the Apple App Store. It also allows apps to access the iOS filesystem and permits all kinds of customizations and modifications that Apple doesn't allow or support However, to download apps that Apple rejected or leverage the additional features jailbreaking provides, jailbroken devices rely on independent app stores.

The most popular of these is Cydia , a storefront for jailbroken iOS devices, which is usually installed during the jailbreaking process. Jailbreak code is usually provided for free through forums and sites by hacking communities who want to promote unrestricted device use.

Most jailbreaks come with full instructions and desktop tools to apply the new code, but some technical knowledge is usually helpful. Today, with iPhone apps now given more access to the operating system OS , jailbreaking has become less popular. Strictly speaking, jailbreaking is not illegal, but laws vary worldwide, continue to evolve, and are often a grey area when it comes to this topic.

While it is legal to jailbreak or root a phone if you are doing it to install legally acquired apps that is not the case if you are doing it to install illegally acquired apps. Section of the law makes it illegal to circumvent digital locks that protect access to copyrighted works, which can include software. Congress reviews the law every few years and has gradually expanded the list of exempt items. Jailbreaking phones became legal in , followed by smartwatches and tablets in Since then, more devices have been added to the exemption list, and it continues to evolve as it is reviewed.

Specific laws may vary in jurisdictions around the world. In many countries, jailbreaking has never been tested in court, so the precise legal position may be unclear. While Apple does not support jailbreaking, the company has generally not legally threatened jailbreakers.

In fact, Apple has even been known to thank jailbreak communities for detecting security holes. Regardless of the law, jailbreaking your phone voids the warranty, so if something goes wrong with your device, you have nothing to fall back on.

It also leaves you exposed to a range of security issues, which we discuss below. While legal, jailbreaking your phone is not necessarily safe. Jailbroken phones offer an opportunity for cybercriminals to hack your phone. Side loaded apps are not checked and screened via Apple's App Store and therefore represent a security risk. When you jailbreak your phone, you stop receiving iOS updates, including the security updates that Apple releases, leaving you more exposed to the latest security threats.

Apple considers jailbreaking iOS to be a violation of its terms and conditions of use and advises customers that the practice exposes a phone to several risks, including:. This is why Apple warns against jailbreaking your iPhone or any other iOS device. While it is rare for iPhones to get viruses when they do, it is often because the phone has been jailbroken.

If something goes wrong with the phone, it is up to you to fix it, because the act of jailbreaking voids your warranty. It would help if you also considered who owns the device and what information you have on your phone. For example, does your employer own the phone? Is your work email synced to it? Any malicious activity not only puts your data at risk — but your organization's as well. Because jailbroken phones lack sufficient security, you are putting your organization at greater risk of a cyber-attack.

Organizations that provide mobile devices to employees typically have security measures in place to prevent users from putting company data at risk. This may include further locking down phones so only certain features can be added or changed, keeping devices and apps up to date, and installing a mobile device agent that can detect a jailbroken phone.

Apple aims to provide users with a unified look and feel. For users who find that restrictive and want to customize their phone by adding their own icons, wallpapers, and menus, jailbreaking is the way to do that. You become the administrator of your device with all the relevant rights, rather than Apple or anyone else. For example, you can add extra icons to your iPhone home screen or install your own screensavers. Jailbreaking also gives greater access to the file system and even unlocks communication from another device, which means you can connect your iPad to your PC and have greater control over what you can see and do.

Apple bans various apps from its App Store due to security reasons. Posted on Jan 29, AM. But as far as iPhone 4 is concerned, it will be out of warranty anyway. But Apple would still not want to repair it, even as a paid job. Jan 29, AM in response to Doctor. O In response to Doctor. Jan 29, AM. Page content loaded. Question: Q: is jailbreaking illegal? Smartphone makers are pretty persnickety about security measures. For example, third-party apps purchased through unauthorized app stores could introduce malware to your device.

In this case, cybercriminals were able to steal passwords, make unauthorized Apple App Store purchases, and even remotely lock devices and hold them for ransom. These are two ways some people use a legal technique — jailbreaking phones — to break the law.

Piracy a type of copyright infringement and some forms of hacking the unauthorized access to data are illegal in the U. Cybercriminals can also take advantage of security vulnerabilities in jailbroken phones to hack into accounts and steal information, as in the case of the iPhone malware incident.

However, because the process can be tedious, some people choose to bypass the carrier altogether. Using a jailbroken phone allows you to go from one carrier to the next by changing the SIM card. Enables smartphones to connect to a cellular network, which lets you send and receive data and phone calls. The baseband also keeps the device locked to the intended phone carrier, so you would need to hack into the baseband to unlock or jailbreak the phone and use the cellular modem.

Jailbreaking is the process by which Apple users can remove software restrictions imposed on iOS and Apple products. Rooting refers to the same process on Android smartphones.

This means taking advantage of a design flaw in an operating system or program to gain unauthorized access. Jailbreaking is, essentially, privilege escalation.

Just one of several free applications that allows you to jailbreak devices, Redsn0w allows you to jailbreak both Mac and Windows devices.

It lacked the character and the spirit of previous seasons; but was still a great watch. I believe a lot of viewers prepared themselves not to like this season because Aaron McGruder left and I think the show is being judged harshly for it. The social This season was funny, very funny. The social points made on the show were there and a lot more heavy handed than before, but I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing. I would say the entire focus on Grand Dad may have turned a few off, but at the core it was still an entertaining season.

FreakyFatJo May 21, This season started so poorly I was almost ashamed to have rooted for the show to continue and against the Uncle Ruckus movie. The first three episodes are just empty, no rythm, no wit and no goddamn story to hold together the few remaining pieces that made the show great. The Breaking This season started so poorly I was almost ashamed to have rooted for the show to continue and against the Uncle Ruckus movie.

The Breaking Bad rip-off is just okay but it when the show is drowning, a breath of fresh air feel like an accomplishment. And so I was really surprised when the 5th episode came on the air, this is the boondocks I came to love and I hope the disappointment ends now. Aaron McGruder was the soul of the show, hope he let some of his magic around when he left. Diablo92 Jun 11, The entire season up to now is all about robert going broke.

I don't care much that they brung back story telling for one of the earlier seasons where robert would tell a story from the past and the subject being about slavery. The last episode where robert bought an iphone disappointed me The entire season up to now is all about robert going broke.

The last episode where robert bought an iphone disappointed me deeply and i'm more than sure it brang great shame from many others more then just myself. I'm not sure what kind of score I should give here. Boondocks was a really great anime show back in the day but lately has crumbled. The series finale, "The New Black" was a truly bad way to end the series. This is another example of both Seasonal Rot and Executive Meddling, as Adult Swim decided to continue the series after Season 3, which is widely considered to be the best season.

Redeeming Qualities The animation is really good and is a major improvement over the previous seasons. Likewise, the voice acting is good like always. The Freeman family is are still likable as usual. The intro is still good. The upcoming reboot should be an improvement as Aaron McGruder is going to be involved in the series.

Reception Although the show's first three seasons were met with positive reception. Comments Loading comments Cookies help us deliver our services.
