[Singapore Angle] Clarifying the Liberal Arts Education in Singapore | Singapore Angle: I can vouch that many Singaporeans who tasted the 'best' of Singapore's pre-tertiary education nevertheless discovered (to their surprise) how much they'd missed after going through a liberal arts education. Science students in particular are likely to have a very narrow (and often dim) view of the humanities until they actually do real, interesting work in the humanities (please don't talk to me about JC humanities/social sciences requirements --- most science stream students opt to take H2 economics, which is simply not at all a reasonable portrayal of what the humanities and social sciences are like;

[PEP Talk] Chuck Guenther's story of leaving the military-industrial-complex ...: degree, I began working as an engineer at McDonnell Aircraft Company. Most of this career was spent designing measurement systems for flight testing military aircraft. My first project involved gunfire vibration measurements and bomb drop tests with the F-4E aircraft at Edwards Air Force Base, California. In the early 1970s, I designed the electronics for system that measured the air temperature outside the F-15 aircraft within a quarter of a degree Celsius. During the mid-1970s, I worked on automatic test equipment used for avionics maintenance, and designed software to evaluate aircraft stability. My last major project was a U.S. Air Force contracted research and development study, designing a system for airborne acquisition and ground processing of in-flight vibration and acoustic noise data from 144 simultaneous measurement locations (Detmer, et al, 1981).

[The Freeman | Ideas On Liberty] Is Capitalism Something Good? | The Freeman | Ideas On Liberty: and in any case they are certainly compatible with capitalism since the economic order of a free society can have a wide diversity. In my view there is little doubt that there will always be a dominant and significant role for corporations, firms, employment, mass production, the specialization and division of labor, international trade, and so on–though there well may also be more opportunities for self-sufficiency, localism, communalist experimentation, and so on.

[FICTIONARY: Blog Tours, Book Reviews, and Author Interviews] HER MOTHER'S HOPE by FRANCINE RIVERS of REDEEMING LOVE: I want to see Christian fiction speak to the hard and real issues that tear peoples lives apart. We need writers who are willing to ask the hard questions and go through the soul-searching and agonizing to find answers - and present these stories with skill that surpasses the general market. Some of the greatest works or art and literature were rendered by Christians. I believe God is at work in these areas now. I would also love to see more Christian stories make it to the big screen and into the world of television, and to have the Christian worldview presented fairly. Much of what comes out of “Hollywood” appeals to the basest side of mankind and crushes the spirit. Right now, with war and a failing economy, people are hungry for stories that inspire them, lift them and give them hope. People need to know there are solutions and we can have peace and an abundant life —
