Jack The Ripper?



...

Hi to all my readers (as if there any readers to greet. lol). This entry will be about Jack The Ripper (JTR). As we are all aware, the murder cases of JTR was about century ago, give or take a couple decades, but yet the mystery remains unsolved. For different theorists, comes a theory which involves different suspects. I did a study on this case and had to present it in class. I was convinced by the theory which explains that Dr Thomas Neil Cream was the the most likely suspect to be JTR.



Dr Thomas Neil Cream
...

First of all, as we all know is that all of JTR's victims were killed and their organs are been removed neatly as if it was a work of a professional or in other words, by someone who has the knowledge and skills of a surgeon. Dr Thomas Neil Cream was a doctor who specialized in abortion and he had a degree in surgery. This background information covers the claim where the killer might be a doctor.

Next, JTR was said to be psychopath who has mental illness or at least is someone with a very complex and corrupted personality. This is another fact that I find proportional to my suspect. Dr Thomas Neil Cream has the compassion to kill his patients for satisfactory. This personality shows that there is something wrong with his mental and the way he thinks. This covers the claim that the suspect is a psychopath.


Letter From HELL
...

Furthermore, the suspect's hand writings are exactly the same as the writings on the 'letter from hell' that was sent to the police which is claimed to be sent by JTR. Although we don't actually know whether the letter is really from the real killer or not, it has been a clue or more likely to say an important case evidence throughout the whole investigation. This fact has brought this case one step closer on discovering the true killer.

Other than that, the hardest part to explain or prove that Dr Thomas Neil Cream is the killer is the opportunity of him to kill the victims. Most of the murders happened when he was imprisoned. According to some theories that I have read, Dr Thomas Neil Cream was a very wealthy man. He inherited 16000 USD before moving to England. It is believed that he swap places with another person to replace him in prison by paying the person in a large amount of money. But sadly this theory was never been taken seriously because it had to be investigate across countries.

The motive of the murder was only for satisfactory or rather to say fetish. The compassion to kill is very strong to resist. 
The mystery of JTR was never solved and will never be solved.

Julius Caesar and Brutus


Gaius Julius Caesar
... 

Gaius Julius Caesar was a Roman general and statesman and a distinguished writer of Latin prose. He played a critical role in the gradual transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire. In 60 BC, Caesar, Crassus and Pompey formed a political alliance that was to dominate Roman politics for several years. Their attempts to amass power through populist tactics were opposed by the conservative elite within the Roman Senate, among them Cato the Younger with the frequent support of Cicero. Caesar's conquest of Gaul, completed by 51 BC, extended Rome's territory to the English Channel and the Rhine. Caesar became the first Roman general to cross both when he built a bridge across the Rhine and conducted the first invasion of Britain.

Marcus Junius Brutus the Younger
...

Julius Caesar had an adopted son, Marcus Junius Brutus the Younger or also known as Quintus Servilius Caepio Brutus. Brutus is best known in modern times for taking a leading role in the assassination of Julius Caesar. Brutus claims that the death of Julius Caesar was for the greater good for Julius Caesar was a cruel dictator and his actions needs to be stopped. In his speech he claims that his love to Caesar was no less than Caesar's love towards him but it was just that his love towards Rome is greater. 
In Brutus' speech, he says:




"Romans, countrymen, and lovers! hear me for my


cause, and be silent, that you may hear: believe me
for mine honour, and have respect to mine honour, that
you may believe: censure me in your wisdom, and 
awake your senses, that you may the better judge. 
If there be any in this assembly, any dear friend of 
Caesar's, to him I say, that Brutus' love to Caesar 
was no less than his. If then that friend demand 
why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer:– 
Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved 
Rome more. Had you rather Caesar were living and 
die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live 
all free men? As Caesar loved me, I weep for him; 
as he was fortunate, I rejoice at it; as he was 
valiant, I honour him: but, as he was ambitious, I 
slew him. There is tears for his love; joy for his 
fortune; honour for his valour; and death for his 
ambition. Who is here so base that would be a 
bondman? If any, speak; for him have I offended. 
Who is here so rude that would not be a Roman? If 
any, speak; for him have I offended. Who is here so 
vile that will not love his country? If any, speak; 
for him have I offended. I pause for a reply."


...
Julius Caesar was hated by the people of Rome, thus Brutus' action was not labeled as a bad thing to do. In my class, we've discussed this issue and our lecturer had all of us come up with a syllogism of our own about Julius Caesar and Marcus Junius Brutus and we had to present our syllogism in class dressed in a toga. so this is what i came up with:

A traitor would be most hated by the public,
Brutus was not hated by the public,
Therefore Brutus is not a traitor,

I personally think that Brutus is not a traitor because Brutus did the right thing for his country. He freed the whole empire from a cruel dictator. Its better to die as a free man rather than living as a slave.

Its no longer a safe world



I believe that everyone knows the latest case of Nurul Nadirah Abdullah, 5, who was found killed at an oil palm plantation, near her house after days of missing. Her mother was blamed for the incident because she was the one who asked little Nadirah to go to the shop alone to get a pack of Maggie noodles. But is this really fair? She just lost her child. She is grieving for god sake. From my opinion, I dont think that the mother should be blamed for what happened. If she knew that this would happen, I believe that she would never let her daughter go alone.


"The atmosphere was one of deep grief at the family's home at the Seri Delima Flats in Bandar Seri Alam near here which was full of relatives, neighbours and members of the media."

If we were to find someone to blame, we could blame everyone including the police, securiy guards, the Prime Minister and the list goes on and on. We could blame ourselves. Just ask yourself, despite of all the blaming and the finger pointing, what have you done to make this world a better and safer place to live in? Can you make sure that this kind of incidents never happens again?

Despite of all the good values we see around us everyday and how beutiful they are, there is still bad people hiding in the dark waiting for the right time to strike. Its no longer a safe world to let our sons and daughters live in.

Perhaps this is our wake up call. Perhaps this is where e stop being ignorant and start caring. Perhaps this is a new beginning for us to start a new lifestyle where everybody looks after each other. No more bad guys, no more crime. But it will always be just a dream if we dont take the first step.

Propaganda Spread Through The Internet

...

Hello to everyone. Its been a while since I've made an entry. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience.In this entry I'm going to discuss about the power to spread news, lies, information and facts through the internet specifically social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. As we can see, a lot of things has been passed and shared around on Facebook and Twitter and this is very useful to use. These social networks also acts as a medium to share news. The power of spreading and influencing is very high.

The latest and biggest 'thing' on almost every social networking sites is about the KONY 2012. If there's someone that doesn't know about the KONY 2012 thing, man you must be from outer space! LOL. Nevermind, here's a video of the KONY 2012 program in case you haven't watched it.
...

...

Now after seeing the video that I've attached, what are your reactions? sad, pity, and the urge to help those kids? Yes, I felt the same way because this video plays with your emotion. It has very high emotional values. I mean, Who would not be sad seeing kids being tortured ? Now imagine if you share this video to your friends. As we know how this video affects our emotions, they too will share the video. There is 700 million people on facebook. Thats 700 million people talking about the issue. NOT knowing whether its true or not.

When you first saw the video, you didnt even asked yourself whether its true or not. You just believed everything you see. Now this is the power that the Internet holds. Spread things without people questioning it. Now set your mind clear, and watch these video. Then try to digest everything you've watched from this entry before coming with a conclusion.

So, can we believe everything we see?

Steve Jobs

Things that people dont really bother to know about Steve Jobs.

...

Jobs started Apple with a high school friend in a Silicon Valley garage in 1976, was forced out a decade later and returned in 1997 to rescue the company. During his second stint, it grew into the most valuable technology company in the world.

Jobs enrolled in Reed College in Portland, Ore., in 1972 but dropped out after six months. "All of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it," he said at a Stanford University commencement address in 2005. "I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out."Yes, he was a drop out. Yet my mom says "open up your eyes son, theres no way you can survive in this world if you drop out of college.." but Jobs did. He proved my mom wrong.

...
As we all know, The Mac Os is just an improvement from Microsoft Windows Os. The idea of operating the computer is still the same but the presentation and features is according to Jobs creativity.
"We have always been shameless about stealing great ideas," Jobs said in an interview for the 1996 PBS series "Triumph of the Nerds."

Male Plastic Surgery

Plastic surgery is now known to be use all around the world for cosmetic usage. Male plastic surgery is not something new to the world but it maybe new to us (Malaysians). As a Malaysian, it is a bit hard for us to adapt to this situation whereby we live in a different environment and society. Our actions are more likely to be influenced by our religion, thus reflecting male plastic surgery in the world of cosmetic as a taboo.


Even though this matter usually refers to a taboo in our community, people tend to show an open mind towards the issue in order to blend in with the rest of the world. People would likely to give their opinions based on human rights and the need of plastic surgery for men in terms of self satisfaction and so on.

From my point of view, I don't think that plastic surgery is needed for the male species in cause for cosmetic intentions. If it is needed to cover a big scar than it would be okay. Nevertheless, I am not trying to denying the human rights to be free to make any decisions that they like.

Eureka!



"Eureka"  is an interjection used to celebrate a discovery. This exclamation is most famously attributed to the ancient Greek scholar Archimedes. What I have learned from the "Eureka moment" session in class is that when your perception towards something is changed after a brief explanation or from an incident, it is considered as a "Eureka moment". I believe that all of us have experience this Eureka moment throughout our lives. An example of a eureka moment is, when you really thought that Myanmar people are called Myanmarians or Myanmarese, then you discovered later that they were actually called Burmese. That is an example of a eureka moment.

In class, our lecturer had us to come with a eureka moment story of ourselves. The story can be from experience or just a creative made up story. Everybody shared their story and a lot of them were very funny. So I shared my story also. It was from my personal experience.

"When I was in standard 6, me and my friends, we like to play a game at school where we pull down people's pants down. We usually did it to our close friends and laugh about it. One day, I decided to pull down this nerdy kid's pants down. He wasn't a member of our play group but I insist of doing so because I think that it would be funny. When I pulled down his pants, that's where  my eureka moment struck me. I discovered that in life, not everyone wheres underwear to school."

So that is my version of eureka moment. Though everybody called me a sick pervert for plying such games, I didn't really care because my objective was to share my eureka moment. It was a really bad image by the way. :D
