In this article, the issue discussed is how alcohol is bad for health.
During these years, more and more people are indulging themselves in large quantities of alcohol. The reason for this, as stated in the article, is that people are "deluding themselves".
There was a research some years ago which showed that small quantities of alcohol is good for the heart. Thus, this became an excuse for people to drink alcohol. Furthermore, many people think that since a small amount of alcohol is good, a large amount would be better. This is wrong. Everything, even vitamins, are bad for health if taken too many. "Too much of good is bad".
However, this is not the only explanation given. The author believes that the key to this problem lies in the research taken. How was the results obtained? Who where the ones that were tested on? Are there any other alternative explanations for the results?
The answers to these questions are important, especially the last. According to the author, it is impossible to eliminate all the thingies that could be alternative explanations and introduce bias into the results. Examples are being richer, better-educated, non-smokers and generally healthier to begin with. This was the reason which led to wrong results for the hormone replacement therapy (HRT) story. Thus, since nobody has ever done a randomized trial of alcohol in preventing heart disease,
the only thing we can be sure of is that people from the same group have the benefits.
Thus, not all results are accurate, and that we should not just take their word for it and drink to our hearts content.
However, it turns out that there is little truth in drinking helping to reduce heart diseases. Perhaps one of two standard drinks a day does not prevent heart diseases at all, though it does no harm either. Anything above that would be bad for health.
Furthermore, alcohol can be considered to be a damaging drug. Alcohol consumption is strongly associated with fatal and non-fatal injuries, domestic violence, dependence, liver disease and depression. Therefore it would be important too to control this drug.
Delaying first alcohol consumption is a key goal, as it prevents further addiction to alcohol. Ways to do this, as mentioned in the article, is to raise the price of alcohol through taxes. However, the alcohol industry would suffer, thus this would not happen in the near future.

June Edition- A Healing Fire
The Story
This article features the life of a man, Sokreaksa Himm. He led a very happy childhood with 11 other siblings, in a small village in Cambodia. However all that ended when he was 11. The Khmer Rouge came into power on April the 17 1975, their reign had turned the whole country into a terror state. Many were driven from their homes and sent to work at labour camps including Sokreaksa and his family themselves. Over the years, the family was subjected to constant beatings and torture. Just when it could not get any worse, what termed as a "Doomsday" caught up with the family.
It was a November morning in 1977. Sokreaksa father was arrested by the a Khmer rouge agent, known as a chlop. Together with those of his family members living with him, including the author himself, they were all sent for execution as they were suspected of having conspired with the Americans, as being enemies of the Khmer rouge. They were then driven by ox carts to the execution field, the exception was his three other brothers and older sister. His father was the first to be killed. Following that, the children were hit from behind and they all fell into the grave. They were then finished off but the author survived. His mother was later executed after he escaped; he wanted to try to save her but somehow could not do so.
He was then welcomed by the villagers when he returned instead of getting the cold shoulder from them as he was previously accused of being a rebel towards them, he was then known as the ”only lucky one”. Soon later when the Khmer Rouge were driven from power, he went to live with his sister. He later joined the police force as he wanted to avenge his family members. One chance came by but he failed, filled with misery and guilt, he fled to a Thai refugee camp to listen to the Christian meetings, however he was not inspired by them and soon later, he migrated to Toronto, Canada. He got his bachelor and master’s degree there. He too made a good friend known as Chuck Ferguson. Chuck led him to God, told him more about God and also gave him a bible, praying for him so that God could bring healing to him. Soon he settled down well enough and even opened a cleaning company, which was pretty successful.
However despite all that he still was filled with such emptiness, everyday he dreamt of torturing his killers. Fortunately, over time, God managed to touch him and deliver him from all these evil doings. A chance came along and it was a request for Christian teachings in Cambodia. Sokreaksa took the chance and went to bring healing to the people there. His other objective was to meet the killers of his family and forgive them. Finally he managed to bring himself to forgive those killers and after which, he was filled with such freedom as if a heavy load was taken off him, God had finally healed him completely.
Reflection
The first thought which came into my mind after reading the story was simply: “Wow, just how this man did did it.” I’m a Christian myself however I’m really, really amazed by his actions, how could one man be so strong in spirit as to forgive the people whom wiped out his entire family, especially his parents. I would not be that strong.
On the other hand, I am just simply glad that the Lord, Jesus has healed him and delivered him away from that entire evil works. I feel that it was rather of a blessing that he could not bring himself to kill the people whom brutally murdered him family members. If he did that, he would probably be in a prison now and not sharing his story with Reader’s Digest. His whole life would be ruined. Overall, I am so glad that he could be miraculously touched by God and that God could perform such a miracle on him, Simply Amazing!
Nonetheless, I indeed feel a deep sense of sadness for both Sokreaksa and his family members who perished under the hands of the Chlops. They died so wrongfully, they were executed for just merely accused of being an enemy of the Khmer Rouge. One perfect family could be just brutally wiped out in just mere hours, their wonderful lives ended, everything ended. Hence every time when I read about these people from these Third world countries, I would always give thanks to God for putting me in a place like Singapore, in the right time. Where in this era, our country has such fair justice and an efficient law system, hence I am glad to be a Singaporean.
Also from Sokreaksa, I have indeed learnt some precious lessons. Firstly, I should really treasure my life, where I am right now. I should stop whining about Singapore’s scorching heat and much rather appreciate the kind of safety the government had provided us. Secondly, I must really learnt to forgive others, if Sokreaksa can forgive his family murderers, why can’t I simply forgive my friends after an argument. I feel that I should really learn to get closer to God and appreciate life more, treasure my loved ones as life is fragile, which are none other than my family members.

Searching for Marita
(by Daniel Rome Levine, Reader’s Digest May 2008 pg 90)
This article is about a woman named Susan Trimarco, mother of Marita de los Ángeles Verón, who has been reported missing since the 3rd of April 2002.
It talks about how Susan bravely went in search of her missing daughter in parts of Argentina, such as Tucumán and La Rioja. It began when Marita did not return from a doctor’s appointment. As days went by, Suasan and Marita’s husbad, Daniel, grew increasingly concerned. Usually, Marita would call and inform them if she was going to be late. However, Marita had not done so. After searching for Marita in the hospital and around her neighbourhood, they still could not find Marita and filed a missing persons report with the local police.
The pair, not faltered by the lack of cooperation from the police, organized a search party consisting of some 50 friends and family of Marita. They handed out homemade posters with photographs of Marita and some contact phone numbers all over Tucumán.
Susan, worried for her daughter, started taking action. Disguised as a prostitute, she would talk to the girls in decrepit bars and asked for information about Marita.
Sadly, they have not found Marita, but, Susan’s courageous act led to some 200 girls being set free from the shadowy world of prostitution and human trafficking.
Susan has shown immense valour. Despite several threats from panders or their underlings, she did not give up and persevered on to help complete strangers who were forced into prostitution.
I believe that such acts truly deserve praise. Not many people would commit such a dangerous act, even for a loved one. It is also appalling to know that even in this day and time; such inhumane crimes (i.e. forced prostitution and human trafficking) are still carried out. Honestly, these people have no consciences. However, if no customers patronized the bars and brothels, nobody would kidnap the poor girls because there would be no profit in it. It makes me wonder, why is prostitution still legal in some countries? Is there that much profit in the trade that people are willing to risk committing such crimes and abusing humanitarian right? I hope that this will change somewhere in the near future. Though, I do not think it is very likely. I hope that Susan’s effort will be rewarded someday by the return of her daughter and like Condoleezza Rice said, “ Your brave fight makes me proud to be a woman.” (I’m still a girl but you get the point.)

The Rise of Cyber Bullying
To start off, the two cases of suicide of the teenagers, respectively a 13-year-old boy Ryan Halligan and 15-year-old girl Gail Jones have showed everyone of the devastating effect of cyber bullying, though the extreme side of the effect.
The advancement and improvement of technology has nevertheless brought sizable benefits to many of us, be it in medical advancements, communication and even household appliances. However, it is distressing that many people, especially teenagers, misuse the advanced and easily accessible communication tool, the Internet.
From the initial purpose to serve as a communication tool or even a tool to provide people with readily information and knowledge, the Internet has actually became another ‘advanced playground’ where anonymous bullies are found and may cause an even grave impact to the victims of the bullies. Though the suicide of Halligan and Jones are the extreme cases of cyber bullying, it is possible that the number such cases would rise and become common if nothing is done to curb the problem of cyber bullying.
Numerous people have access to the Internet anytime and anywhere, and it is the ability to reach more people and the always-on culture of it that can have an even more detrimental effect on the victims of cyber bullies. Furthermore, the choice to be able to remain anonymous and the dispensable need to face the victim face by face gives cyber bullies better conditions and confidence to bully their victims much harsher than the conventional way.
In my opinion, cyber bullying is definitely a notorious act and should not have been present. Cyber bullying not only hurts the victim deeply but also leaves a permanent scar in them, together with all the negative memories. Serious cases may even result in suicides when victims could no longer take the stress or pressure of the bullies, for example Ryan Halligan and Gail Jones. It is miserable; especially for the parents of children like Halligan and Jones to lose their own child as a result of cyber bullies and I really do hope that all cyber bullies would stop their act upon knowing the result of their actions.
I believe that anyone of us here might have bullied someone before while in chat rooms, instant messaging or gaming, either purposely or unintentionally, or even not realizing that we ourselves had bullied someone. Similarly, some might have unintentionally bullied someone and turns into a cyber bully, while the rest of the cyber bullies are perhaps feeling bored and wanted to joke on someone, being influenced by peers and starts to be a cyber bully or due to the inability to cope with stress from studies or family problems and resort to cyber bullying as an escape for them.
Therefore, to curb the problem of cyber bullying, we should start by dealing with the root of the problem leading to cyber bullying. We could raise awareness on actions that are being considered as bullying, such as sending threatening messages and posting embarrassing video footage and photos on the Internet. Also, we should instill good morals in teenagers to reduce them in the possibility of involving in cyber bullying and lastly, encourage those who are stressed to have a talk with their true, good friends or approach their teachers or school councilors or have a good talk with their parents.
In conclusion, I hope that cyber bullies would truly know the consequence of their actions and stop their bullying act. In the example of the scandal involving the circulating of nude photos of Hong Kong star Edison Cheng and several female artistes, the circulation of the photos on the web has brought devastating impact on the Hong Kong star and the chastity of the female artistes. Thus, if cyber bullies have that moral to think about the impact of their actions, I believe that the number of cyber bullies would certainly reduce and in turn provide a safe and good environment for the users of the Internet.

Rise of Cyber-bullying
Throughout the years, the information technology has advance and develop. Using the internet benefits us by bringing convenience. For instance, companies nowadays are mostly computerised and manual labour is no longer necessary. People also need not go to shopping centres to buy their essentials, instead they can simply go online and shop for what they wanted.
On the other hand, the IT advancements have also brought harm, cyber-bullying is the major problem. Cases of cyber-bullying has increased over the years and have even cause death to many teenagers. For example, in Britain, a 15 year old girl named Gail Jones committed suicide after receiving many silent calls on her mobile phone very 30 minutes.
Cyber-bullying can be performed in many ways. Sending threatening messages, posting embarrassing photos and video footage on the internet are just some examples of cyber-bullying. Usually, teenagers who are actively involved in social networking and online communication are targets of cyber-bullies.
The impact of cyber bullying is so drastic because that many people will have access to it and the embarrassing videos and photos will be publicised. This will cause distress to the victim which will lead to depression or even death if the problem is not well-managed. Healing a psychological wound is easier said than done. It requires a long time and effort and the support of the victim's family to aid the victim to recover. In the cyberspace, it is available 24/7, 365 days a year, thus it explains the frequency of cyber-bullying.
Cyber bullies often stay anonymous when online. Thus, they will tend to do stuffs they usually don't dare in the real world. These people are usually sick and sadistic. A handful of them might have been bullied before in their real life. Usually, they don't dare to retaliate. Therefore, they will go into the cyber-world to experience the life of being bullies. After doing it, they will have a feeling of satisfaction. These are acts of a coward. Additionally, it is also suggested that cyber-bullying may be influenced from videos uploaded in Youtube and Metacafe which contain offensive materials and acts of bullying.
Although many countries has taken action to deal with the offenders, it proves to be ineffective as the number of cyber-bullying cases reported is still increasing. In my opinion, I think the best solution is to exercise self-control. Do not chat with strangers online frequently and avoid meeting with strangers when they requested it. Prevention is better then cure.

‘ I hunted down the woman who stole my life’
Karen Lodrick’s identity had been stolen. Having her identity, the thief opened credit cards in Karen’s name so she could scam thousands of dollars more. As the credit cards were under her name, the creditors for the thief transactions pursued Karen. Karen decided to close her accounts, however, the criminal crack opens the new ones she had opened and drained those too. Unfortunately, the banks and police could do nothing to salvage the situation.
Using her identity, the thief dipped into her accounts like they were her own. The thief had used Karen’s house phone to order the debit card. It seems that, the thief had stolen two debit cards envelopes and two that provided the debit cards PINs envelopes from Karen’s mailbox. Within a few days, her bank account had been emptied and her life was reeling out of control. With no money, she could not pay her bills, rent and even her daily necessities.
Hopefully, the bank called and told her that they have the surveillance video of the thief. There was a big dark hair woman in a suede coat and a designer sunglass at an ATM in that video.
Meanwhile, the thief took her identity card for granted. The thief used her Social Security number and other information to obtain a counterfeit driver’s licence with the thief’s picture and Karen’s licence number. With that and her Social Security number, the thief is able to reopened accounts that Karen had closed. Karen placed fraud alerts with the credit reporting agencies, but to no avail. The thief continued to open more accounts in Karen’s name. The whole cycle was never-ending and she was at wit’s end.
Strangely, Karen’s bank informed her that she had left her driver’s licence at a branch on Market and Church streets, which she had never been there before and that her real driver’s licence is in wallet.
The next day, Karen waited at Starbucks for the bank on Market Street to open. While waiting, she saw a large woman in jeans and Gucci glasses, carrying a brown suede coat and a Prada purse at Starbucks, who look likes the woman in the surveillance video taken at an ATM. Karen decided to call the police and continue watching her. She thought that that woman must have came to retrieve back the licence.
The large woman sitting at a corner kept stealing glances at Karen and is looking nervous. She got up and out of the café. Karen decided to follow her with the hope of ending her bad dreams. The chases began.
While the woman turned a corner, Karen phone rang. She believed that the woman called and wanted to check if Karen was on her tail. Karen called the police again while chasing the woman. The woman was turning back every now and then to look at Karen. At 158 centimetres, Karen Lodrick was small compared to the nearly 180-centimetre woman who stole her identity. The thief threw away her wallet and flagged down a taxi. Yet, Karen managed to stop her. She also managed to prevent the thief from getting up a bus. With determination, Karen Lodrick pursued the woman for half an hour. After losing her, Karen lost hope and stop chasing.
To everyone’s surprise, the woman was smoking between a car and a building. Maria Nelson, the identity thief’s real name, had at least 60 prior arrests and was indeed on probation. Although the thief was caught, Karen was still receiving phone service and items she did not purchase. She feared that her ID might have been sold on the black market.
After reading this article, I realise the importance of safekeeping my things. When it is misplaced the person who got hold of it, may misuse it. For example, Karen lost her identity card and Nelson went to empty her accounts and make many transactions using her credit cards. A leopard will never change its spots, how true this is as after getting at least sixty prior arrests, she still did not learn her lessons and went on to steal Karen’s identity. I think that she was wasting everyone’s time to track down the criminals. Although she managed to steal many identities, I think that she was a failure as each time she steals; she was caught in the end. She too, give way too much clues as when she went to retrieved back the forged identity card from the bank at Market Street, she was wearing almost the same clothes as when she went to withdraw the money the last time, causing Karen to recognised her. Since she is already rich by stealing Karen’s money, I think that she should wear a different clothing, to be less suspicious.
Even though the Starbucks café was big, Karen is observant enough and manages to spot Nelson at the café. I think that it is too coincidence that Karen is able to spot her identity thief after a few months her identity is lost. I sympathise with Karen for what she had gone through those few months, as she could not even afford to buy basic necessities, such as groceries, when her bank is being drained. I hope that people may learn a little lesson and not be a spendthrift as, when there is an emergency, there is at least some money saves aside to resolve the problem. I feel that Karen have a lot of courage as she is wanted to chase after the thief who stole her identity. At the same time, I think that she should not take the matter into her own hands as it can be quite dangerous if the thief carry any weapons by her side.
I thought that the banks and the police service were quite a disappointment as they took quite sometime to act quickly in response to the request made by Karen. Although the information provided by the passer-by is true, I think that Karen is right in not believing him, as he might be her accomplice. I think the purpose for throwing Nelson’s wallet into the trolley is to make Karen distracted and lost her, however, Karen did not stop and continue chasing her.
I think that Nelson take things for granted as after draining Karen’s account, she made a driver’s licence with her licence number. I hope that she would turn over a new leaf and earn money with her own hands. I think that the ending is ironic and that Nelson is silly as she could hide in one corner and smoke calmly when she knew that Karen is still finding her. As what Karen has says, she should have kept running. I hope that people should think carefully before doing things that might hurt people, such as putting themselves into their shoes, so that both parties will not be hurt.

What do you do when the mother you love is no longer of sound mind?
No one will know what happen after we make a decision. The outcome of it may not be what you want to see so we could not decide on whether this decision is a good decision or a bad decision. To determine whether this decision is a good decision or it is bad, we have to think of what happen after this decision and look at the outcome from different point of view. I think what Josephine did really help her family a lot. Her father can do what he wants and does not need to take care of his wife while his wife can live inside a palliative care with people taking care of her. If they really did not send her to palliative care, her father really could not take it any more. Her father was not young; he is already 78 years old! It is hard for an old man like him to take care of her wife that has Alzheimer’s disease. Even Josephine could not take care of her, how could her able to take care of her for his rest of his life. As time passes, her father will become weaker and weaker. At that point of time no one could take care of Josephine’s mother again. Sending there, Josephine’s father could have more free time, he can do what he wants to do and enjoy his rest of his life. Although it is difficult for them to part, Josephine’s father really could not take care or his wife so he has no choice but to bear the pain and send her there. This decision could be the best for everyone. If we look at this matter from the other point of view, if her mother was to get separated with her family, her health may worsen. If this happens, I think the decision that Josephine made maybe a wrong decision. From this article Josephine’s mother tend to settle quite well in her new home, so I think the decision that she made did benefits her mother and her father. Although her mother could not see her family for the whole, she is still able to see her husband frequently, this may make her feel better after moving into her new home so her condition may not deteriorates. I hope that with special care from the people at palliative care can prevent her illness from deteriorates too quickly and with the love her family gave her, I hope she will be happy staying there.
