Invest in an indexed fund
When you invest for the long term, invest in an index fund (such as an ETF that is based on a market index) and stop trying to pick the stocks to beat the market. There are a few other good tips in this article.

Medicare in USA
The problem with Medicare in USA (i.e. the health care paid by the Government for retirees) is that it becomes very costly to give the best to the older people and the Government is bearing the cost. In Singapore, the Government wants the people to bear the cost - and they cannot afford it either. The solution? Educate people on what is necessary and what is wasteful and help them to find the right treatment at a cost that they can afford.

Top 10 Social Bookmarking Sites
Amplify’d from webdesigndublin.org
Social bookmarking sites are websites that allow you to save your favourite sites, articles, videos or other resources that you find on the internet in one place.
Social bookmarking sites should be distinguished from social networking sites like Facebook, Google +1 and others.
Other people will also be bookmarking their favourite sites and stories which leads to people sharing and voting on popular and topical stories. This allows you to browse other peoples bookmarks to read good, relevant content about topics that interest you.
(Check out social media marketing and how to improve your LinkedIn profile also)
And you do so with the benefit of other users rating or voting for stories which means there is a certain amount of “curation” of the content happening before you read it if you stick to the most popular stories.

Torrential rainstorm floods Rome (AP)
ROME ? A torrential rainstorm battered Rome during the morning rush hour Thursday, causing flash floods that killed one man, felled trees and blocked thousands of commuters from reaching their workplaces.
Firemen reported finding the body of a man who drowned in his basement apartment. Police rescued dozens of others from low-lying buildings.
Italian authorities said they received more than 5,000 calls for help during the storm. Trees were felled, subways were flooded and some roads crumbled.
Private schools in Rome urged parents to keep their children home for the day, saying classrooms were flooded and roads near schools impassable.
Hours after the rain stopped, cars remained trapped in massive traffic jams on the outskirts of the city.

Small child who was street smart
A 2 year old girl, Yue Yue, was run over twice in Guangzhou, China. Many people passing by did not help her. Where were her parents?
I recall a horrifying experience some 20 years ago, also in Guangzhou. I stopped at a small town for dinner. After dinner, I was returning to the bus. I saw a small boy, also about 2 years old, on the opposite side trying to cross a busy road with many fast passing vehicles. There was no adults around to take care of the child. I was horrified that he could be hit by a passing vehicle, but there was nothing that I could do, as I was on the other side of a busy road.
After a while, the little boy saw a gap among the vehicles and run across the road safely to her parents who were nearby. I then realised that this boy, although very small, was street smart. He must have crossed the road many times safely. His parents knew that he could take care of himself.
This is so different from the over-protected children in Singapore!
