Hi all,
Based on the articles you have read from Tuesday's newspapers, comment on two of the following topics.
1) What do you think of the punishment meted out to the NSF who went around with the rifle? Is it fair or too light a sentence?
2) What do you think of the sale of organ? If sale of organ is made legal, what do you think are the possible outcomes?
3) The articles have mentioned about maximising resources and the dwindling resources in Australia. How do you think these have impact on us?
Please post about 150words for each topic. By Sunday, 2359. Please also remember to indentify yourself. :)

1) After reading the article on the ns men who went around with the rifle, I myself believe that the punishment that is meted out to the ns men is simply too light! Even though some may think that he is just some person that shouldn't be punish but instead, be forgive as he has been suffering from depression due to his childhood, but you can't expect to forgive a criminal if he is suffering from mental sickness! Imagine the consequences if he had used the gun and shot someone to death, it would be dire! It is due to the fact that he was found in a public place that is full of people, if he wasn't caught on time; he may just go around the Cathay Orchard Cineleisure and starts to shot the innocent shoppers down! But in the end he was only jail for only 9 years+ and 18 strokes of cane. Therefore I feel that his punishment should be increased to a much more serious and hard punishment. This can be used as a warning to all the rest of the NS men so as to convince them not to do such a thing or else the consequence will be very harsh.
2)The sale of organ case is the first to happen in our country and even the authorities do not know how to deal with such a case! But i feel that doing such thing is small matter, it is only selling of organs! Since both party have agreed to doing such transplant and the seller gets to receive a sum of money. I feel that it is the same as selling your own property to others. So if the sale of organs if to made legal, I feel that it will not affect much as even with the sale of organs being illegal, there are already cases of such things. So by making it legal, not only will there be more of such cases, but also the amount of people dying from organ illness will decrease.Hence I feel that by meking organ transplant legal or illegal, it does not affect much.

1. I felt that the punishment for Teo is simply too light.I think that it is just an excuse saying that he has mental illness. If he is really suffering fromm mental illness, why would he tell so many people different reasons for stealing the rifle? Why do i say the punishment is too light? As we all know, he is a NS men, thus he should know the rules and the consequences for making such a mistake! We cannot just forgive him because he was young or because he suffered from depression. If we do, when other people commit similar crimes next time, this will be an excuse for them and everything will be alright then. Just because he suffered from depression does not mean that he can steal the rifle and go around killing his girlfriend or go around robbing(according to the reasons he gave his friends). What if he shot down innocent people? The consequence will be worse. In conclusion, i think that he is given a too light sentence.
2. I don't quite like the idea of organ transplant from people that you don't know. It's like having another person's organ in your own body. Till now, i only know that most people, if they want organ transplant, they would take the organ of their own family members or from a dead person whose organs are still functioning. If sale of organ is made legal, i think that more and more people will not take care of their own body(because they think that there'e still a spare one). The other reason is that a person may sacrifice his/her organ and take it out for sale when he/she is in debt. That's why i think that sale of organ shouldn't be made legal.

Dave Teo Ming, 20, took a rifle and five rounds of ammunition he had been issued with and while performing guard duty at the Mandai Hill Camp on September 2 last year. He was sentenced to be locked 9 years and 2 months in jail and 18 strokes of the cane. According to the newspaper, “He could have been jailed for up to 14 years and 10 years for the unlawful possession of the rifle and bullets respectively”.
I do not think this sentence is too light or even fair. Rather, I think that this sentence is far too heavy for such a young man like him. I feel as though his supposed-to-be period when he can make some achievements while he is young will be spent locked up in jail.
At the first glance at the title of the newspaper, “judge tells soldier who took rifle out of camp” , I thought he was irresponsible and “tarnished the reputation of the armed forces, and instead of doing his duty as a soldier to protect the community, he became a threat.” like what’s been written in the newspaper.
But as I read on and understand another side of his story, I changed my point of view.
He did not have the care and concern of his parents, unlike normal children. His father was often in jail. That means that he seldom see his father. His father, most likely, do not care about the family or he’ll try his best not to commit any crimes for the sake of the family. His mother, an inveterate gambler, hurled chairs at him and caned him for no apparent reason. He is being physically and mentally abused, with nobody to shelter him from all the torture except for his grandmother, who I suppose was quite frail then and unable to be of much help. Moreover, his mother left home with his younger sister before he was nine, abandoned him with only his younger brother and grandmother at home then. He did not have parental guidance like others do. Most importantly, he came from a broken home --- with little hope, little love, and lots of pain.
His brother two years younger died in a traffic accident when Teo was 14. His brother seemed to be a very important figure in his heart as he became depressed and isolated himself after his death. It was the year he first met his ex-girlfriend, Miss Liew. Miss Liew must have mean a lot to him to have made him touched at his lowest point of his life.
In year 2007, his Miss Liew broke up with him. Knowing that the person he loved dearly wad going to be ‘lost’, he must have been desperate, not knowing how to deal wit h the situation and knowing nobody he could seek advice from ( His closest kin, his grandmother, must be very sick from the cancer by then. Thus, she couldn’t help Dave Teo Ming much). He lost weight and became withdrawn because due to the breakup. I believe that he took the rifle out to the camp because he was too desperate to patch up with Miss Liew upon knowing that she have a new love.
Although I know that taking the rifle out of camp is a very serious offence and the sentence is greatly lightened, I still firmly believe that the sentence is too heavy for him. In my opinion, he committed the crime under a moment of rashness. Moreover, he suffer from depression and have nobody to guide him along in life since he was a child. Nine years in jail is just too much. Imagine when he is released out of prison at the age of 24 with a prison record, a mere PSLE certificate and with no financial backing. How is he going the be able to cope in this society? It’ll just make him feel hopeless and even more depressed. I f he is release earlier, he’ll still have some time to start everything afresh again, maybe get a certificate in a specialized field or something like that and slowly, pick up the courage to face this world again.
In conclusion, I believe that a moment of rashness resulting in nine years of no freedom life in jail is certainly not fair.
i'll put my second answer later. sorry if what i wrote was all crap? hahas. --KaYin--
2) I think that the sale of organ is inhumane.
The sale of organ/s needs a person to sacrifice his or her organ to sell it to another person just for monetary purposes. The donor might not want to part with his or her organ/s but he might be forced to do so for the sake of money. To make things worse, many of the donors got paltry sums for selling their organ/s.
I bet the doctors there did not tell them the consequences of losing one of their organ/s.
Firstly, they need time to recuperate. This means that they cannot work for quite some time. They crops might die. They might lose their job as laborers. There are always people out there eager to replace them.
Next, their body will be much weaker than before. The donors are mostly laborers or farmers. How can they withstand such tedious work with such a frail body?
The sale of organ/s will greatly increase if the sale of organ is being made legal globally. Many people’s life will be affected. In the poorer parts of some countries, there may be untrained doctors doing surgery to extract organ/s from the donors. Many donors will die from infection due to incorrect method/s of disinfection of surgery tools, but yet many people suffering from organ/s ailments will be saved.
This will also give people a wrong idea that the donors’ lives are cheap and useless. In order to make a living, donors can sacrifice their lives. To the patients suffering from liver or kidney ailments, the donors may be just storage of spare organs “where they buy the organs from them cheaply”. Human rights will be violated and many people will be displeased. Furthermore, discrimination towards the donors will get more serious. Some people might even think that it’s the donors job to sell their organs.
Lastly, the prices of the organ/s will fall greatly, which contribute further to discrimination. More donors will die ‘cheaply’.
To conclude, I strongly disapprove the sale of organs.
( the previous answer i posted was for question number 1. SORRY I FORGOT TO PUT THE NUMBER DOWN!! T_T )
-------kayin--------
1)
I personally feel that the punishment is fair.
First of all, we have to consider him as a child from a broken home. His father was often in jail, while his mother was a gambler. Under these circumstances, the child will most likely have the tendency of becoming a 'hooligan'. Though Dave Teo Ming had committed a serious crime for stealing rifle and had tarnished the reputation of the armed forces, but his family background has to be taken into consideration. Under the parent's influence, even "guai-kia" (good students) can turned bad as the days pass by. However, I am quite frustrated with his reckless behaviour for stealing a rifle just to murder his ex-girlfriend. Moreover, as a 20-year-old man, he should be matured enough to interpret what is right and wrong. His irresponsible action has led to serious consequences. My brother is currently a NS man attending to Mandai Hill Camp also. Since this incident, all the NS man from the same company have to take turns to return to the camp for guard duty even on weekends, how unfair! From Mas Selemat escape to the stealing of rifle, these have completely ruined the reputation of the Singapore reputation in the global stage.
Secondly, a 20-year-old NS man has a bright future ahead. If the court executes a heavy punishment, what will happen to the young lad? There is a saying: “every cloud has a silver lining”, but is there for Dave Teo Ming?
2)
According to the Straits Times article from the 11th July, Tang Wee Sung (not Tang Shing Hei please!), head of the Tangs retail empire, became the first person to be charged with trying to buy an organ In Singapore. I personally feel that it is alright to legalize organ sale under certain situations, for example sale of kidney, but stiff actions have to be taken against illegal organ sale. Most patients, who need an organ to stay alive, usually find it extremely difficult to find a suitable donor to donate his/her organ in Singapore. Legalizing organ sale will solve the crisis of most patients who have been waiting for a right donor for decades, and this will in return decrease the death rate in Singapore.
However, illegal organ sale may lead to unforeseen consequences which may include:
•Third world country people may donate organ to sustain their family income and organs like heart may cause instant death to them, resulting in a trend to donate organ to earn some extra cash.
1)I thought that the punishment given to Teo was fair, after considering that he was threatening the lives of many people while he had possession of the rifle. However, I think that we should feel for him as he had an unhappy past. He was always beaten up by his mother and she left home with his younger sister before he was even nine. He lost his brother when he was only fourteen and his grandmother, whom he was closest to, passed away last December. These, combined with the breaking up of his girlfriend last march, were the main factors that made him depressed. If it was me, I would have jumped down the building and commit suicide.
I think the main reason for his actions was that he was depressed. He did not know what he was doing and told three different people different things. However, one has to face the consequences of his or her actions. He tarnished the reputation of the armed forces and left a bad impression on Singapore and foreigners now wonder if Singapore was even a safe place anymore. He had a motive to kill and therefore, I think that the punishment was fair, given that his emotions were unstable back then. Everybody should have a chance to amend their mistakes and I think Teo should be given a chance too.
2)I think that the sale of organs is perfectly fine as it may be used to save a life of someone. Although the law states that no human body or parts should be bought and sold, more than 300 Singaporeans did that. Yes, they just broke the law but as long as the person survives, who cares? Both parties benefit with the buying and selling of organs. One may find themselves rich, as in financially, while the other would also feel rich, as in being healthy. (Provided that they are not caught.) I think that the government should legalise organ sales as there is an increase in demand for certain body parts like kidney. One should consider this: Is saving a life more important than anything else?
The sale of organs would allow patients who are in need of certain body parts to be able to be able to find a suitable one quickly and it might just reduce the death rate in Singapore. However, the sale of organs might encourage people who are in debts to sell their body parts for money and people might rely on this to settle their debts. Also, donors are also put at risk when they are donating their organs. Something might just go wrong during surgery and the donor may just die for being a kind soul. Is it worth it to put someone at risk to save another person? This might be the reason why countries are still reluctant to legalise organ sales. Until this problem is solved, more and more people would be losing their lives due to lack of suitable organs.

1)After reading the article on the ns men who went around with the rifle, i believe that what they did was wrong as the rifles they carrying along would scare people out of their wits and cause disturbance to the neighbourhood. It is fortunate that he has not done foolish things by shooting people. Judge feels sorry for him as he is going to be imprisoned for 9 years...and receiving 18 strokes of cane which i thought he will have a harsh lesson taught for bringing rifle out of camp. I do not think that the punishment should be that harsh as he had not shot anyone down and he wouldhave lose his future when he stepped into the prsion.But i sincerely hope that he could learn a lesson out of it and it is a warning to the soldiers that it is unwise and foolish to bring rifle out of the camp.
2)I believe the government in India have made the right decision by implementing laws to restrict foreigners from coming to india for cheap organ transplants from the poor people in India. I strongly agree that sales of organs are made illegal as it is our responsibilty to take care of ourselves to avoid ourselves to contract dieases that needs organs transplant. Yet,i saw people made use of the poors for them to sell their organs as a living. When i read this article,i was upset and shocked about people's selfishness to achieve what they want by making use of people's difficulties..only 10000 to 20000 rupees(S$315-S$630)for the poor farmers' kidneys...Foreigners also bribe doctors for the organs transplants. Imagine if all foreigners went to india for organ transplant treatments, wouldn't many poor indians would lose their organs,or perhaps lose their lives?.. I do not think that the indians had sacrifice themselves worthly for their families.Thereby, sales of organs are to be made illegal or else people would get the advantage of it and make use it to con the poors...

1) I think the punishment meted out to the NS man who went around with the rifle is fair. His life does not go smoothly. I think, there have been too many aspects adding up that he could not control himself. He came from a broken home, with his Dad often in jail due mostly to drug offences. He was beaten by his mum for no apparent reasons and her mum left home with his younger sister, he would definitely feel desolate, he was only 9 years old then and her mother left him. His brother was died in a traffic accident when he was 14. He has experienced so many unhappy incidents since he was young. Furthermore, his parents neglect him, who else is there to care for him?
His grandmother? He was very close to him, probably his closest kin, but her grandmother died due to cancer last year.
Besides, he broke-up with his girl friend, breaking up with someone he loves so much and he have not done anything wrong to his girlfriend, but her girlfriend initiated the break-up. This makes him very down.
These all added up to make him depressed and so he took the riffle out. If he had look for someone wise enough to guide him, I think this all would not happen. Since, he did not use the rifle and commit any crime; he is not hopeless yet so we should forgive him and gives him a chance to continue his journey.
He is just only 20. 9 years and two months’ jail plus 18 strokes of cane is enough or maybe it is actually too heavy for him.
2) I think it is all not wrong to buy organs or sell organ, since it is a win-win situation, the donor gets the money, which he/she want and the patient gets the organ. Isn’t this fair for both? The donor not only gets the money but also save the patient who is going to die soon (if no donor is found). However, I think that organ such as heart should not be bought or sold, since heart is a vital organ in our body. Since, humans can live with only one kidney, then kidney could be sold, selling of organ is a very easy way to get quick cash and also to save one’s live.
By legalising the sale of organs, more patients who need the organs would get save. Besides, some donors are conned by evil middle-man and doctors, who took the money away without giving the donors money. If the sale of organs is legalised, government hospitals can provide the operation and the chances of donors being scammed would greatly reduced.

1)
Personally, I think that the punishment meted out was fair as his intention, initially was to kill his ex-girlfriend and 5 people he hates but in the end, he didn’t. If he had, he should be receiving a greater punishment. The punishment could serve as warning for him and those who intend to do similar actions again.
Looking back at his family background, I think that it would be better to have his number of strokes reduced? If not, when he had finished his jail term, I don’t think he will be able to withstand the pain of 18 strokes and the memories of his father abusing him. Maybe, the judge can reduce 3 strokes? The other 15 strokes can use as a reminder for him in the future.
On the other hand, during the jail term, he should receive counseling from physiatrist. The effect of only having physical punishment and no mental help, would serve no purpose of having him in jail. Instead, it would probably increase his loneliness and he may lose hope towards the society.
2)
I think that the sale of organ should be not legalized as the consequences could be dire.
It would be better if people learn to take care of their own body organs as such they do not need to look for donors and donors need not risk their lives in return even though the mortality rate is low but anything could happen. Let’s say a person selling his kidney and he still has another kidney. In any case of mishap, the seller would be probably died due to the rupture of his kidney, failure of kidney etc. In order to save his life, he would then look for another donor and the cycle would probably be repeated. One should learn how to cherish their own organs so that you will not give any burden to your family. How about liver, lungs, stomach? Do they cut a part of it and donate it to those who need it? Instead, I think that the donation of organs should be made compulsory after a person had died as he has no use for it anymore.
If the sale of organ is legalized, I think the mortality rates in Singapore would probably be higher. As a person would get weaker if his organ is donated, he would have to live uncomfortably, not leisurely. Even though if it is legalized, people would still go through the black market to find donors. It is impossible to stop the black market in the world.
Secondly, the poor would be exploited and the idea of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poor would stand. The amount of money gotten wouldn’t last long. For example, a Pilipino man got money for trading his organ due to his impoverished conditions. After receiving his reimbursement, he spent them unwisely and went back to his poverty days. This shows that it doesn’t help to improve the conditions of poor at all and from here I can infer that donors are mostly people who couldn’t afford luxury. It shows that those people would probably hold on to a lot of jobs and thus would need a healthy body with all organs within. With a missing organ, he would probably die of exhaustion of his organs. Terrible.
I therefore, agree with the government on banning legalization of organs.

Ms Tang,i lost the "IN" paper, can i post about this qns on Monday?
Lynn
Sorry, I was the one who deleted the previous comment, forget to put my name.
1)It is the court that decides the sentence for this NS man, how could it be fairer for his actions? It is a crime after all. He himself before being caught should be well aware of the consequences, just like smuggling food from the canteen into the classroom during recess so long that a teacher doesn't catch you.I would personally term this person as a 'psycho', even though he is suffering from depression. If he is let off or given a very light punishment, people will think that depression could be an excuse for you to do whatever you want. Depression can be either a reason or a mere excuse for him. There is also medication for this mental illness, so it is correct to punish him like this. Obviously the rights and wrongs are different everywhere, even chewing chewing gum is 'wrong' in Singapore.
2)Organ selling is an issue worldwide, is it ok to sell parts of your body? I think that selling organs is wrong, the organs in each and every of our bodies make us who we are. Our bodies are our machine to live our life, giving away an irreplaceable organ is taking out a screw out that machine. It may be just a screw, but it is still a piece of you. Technology became so advance until it not only affect our lives but allow us to give away 'screws', like a robot. Are we humans or do we slowly evolve into something else like what our ape ancestors did? Many may think that selling organs is to help people, but if it takes away something called 'being human' from us, I think it isn't worth it.
Clement,
btw pls visit COTD.
1)After reading the article,I feel that what Dave Teo did was wrong.He smuggled out from Mandai camp,a rifle and eight rounds of ammunition.What he did,jeopardised the safety of all singaporeans,as he could easily do anything reckless with it.Carrying a loaded weapon and visiting crowded public places would scare people out of their wits,but i heaved a sigh of relieve after knowing that he did not harm any innocent people.After being caught 20 hours later on the third level of Orchard Cineleisure,he was being sentenced to 9 years and 2 months of imprisonment.He was also given 18 strokes of the cane.I felt that the punishment was kind of too harsh for him as he is still young and still have a long way to go in his life.After this incident,he wouuld have a black record against his name and this would definitely affect his future after being released from prison.I hope that he would change for the better and his example will always serve as a warning to the other soldiers to to follow his footsteps.
2)I support the indian government's decision by implementing laws to resttrict foreigners from coming to India for illegal organ transplants.The sale of organs in India is gradually increasing over the years,as more and more poor people turn to it as a last resort to earn quick money.They were duped into selling their kidneys for 10'000 to 20'000 rupees each and that the organs were then sold for 1.5 million to 2 million rupees by their scammers.I feel that these transplants should be made illegal as more and more people are being scammed due to it.Considering the hygiene standards at hospitals in India,many people could contract infectious diseases during transplant and might even die during the operation.These transplant are inhumane as they rob many people of their kidneys,leaving them to suffer after the operation.I was also shocked and upset by one's selfishness to achieve what they want,not caring about other's welfare.What if all the foreigners that need an organ transplant all go to India?I can't imagine what would happen as the resuls will be devastating...

#1 With references to the various articles on the punishment of the NSF who went around with a rifle, I think that the punishment of 9 years and two months jail term and 18 canes of strokes is simply too light.
Firstly, this incident involves the safety of all Singaporeans. If anyone would just get a rifle and start a shooting spree in public, many innocent lives would not be spared. A hefty punishment needs to be meted out in order to serve as a warning to all NSF or any person not to repeat this incident. If the consequences are dire and harsh, this incident could really influences us not to bring out or smuggle dangerous equipment or items like rifles and guns out from the military. As Prosecution lawyers describe him as a “dangerous, armed man which was on a loose with a mission to kill”, we could infer that he was anytime ready and in fact was thinking to kill someone already. This endangers our lives because his mentality at start to kill may cause a carnage unprecedented in Singapore.
Secondly, regarding his mental health problems and the various twists and turning points of his life, he should not let his personal emotions and feelings get involved with the safety of Singaporeans. He should have seen a counsellor before this to stop his reclusive mentality. How could such an irresponsible person who can’t take care of his own emotions be allowed to stay in the military to be responsible to protect our citizens? We cannot forgive him just because he is young or suffers from mental disorder.
Thirdly, as a Singaporean and as a law enforcer (NSF), he should know the dire consequences of holding dangerous weapons in public. Being an NSF, he should have loyalty to Singapore and protect Singaporeans at all times, but his act really reflects on his ability to really protect citizens at critical times when he endangers our safety. This incident also will indirectly tarnish the well reputation of our armed forces.
But, I was disappointed to know that he was the solemn one to be prosecuted. The military should be partially responsible for this incident because they had failed in their duties to make sure that their military equipment is not smuggled out. This incident really makes me wonder about the transparency of our army operations because I can’t believe it as an NSF managed to smuggle out a rifle without raising the suspicion of the military.
#2 I think that the sales of organs should be legalised but must be under critical circumstances where it concerns the survival of the people. Firstly, benefits of the sales of organs could save lives, an example could be that sales of kidney. As our body could function as well with one kidney, sale of a kidney is fine if both parties agree. However, the sale of some vital organs like the heart should not be legalised because it will be far too dangerous for the donor as it may cause him/her to lose their lives. Patients could look out for other alternatives like artificial heart implants made from human muscle tissues instead of using others body organs as implants. However, if the sales of organs is legalised, people make be misled to think that the sale of the organs would be a profitable trade for them and misuse this law causing people to sell the organs in order to make quick profits especially when those people are heavily in debts. It might also result in people getting duped into selling their organs to illegal traders like the situation in India.
JIANDA...=)
1) I personally feel that the punishment for Teo is fair.
Firstly, the reputation of Singapore's Armed Forces had been tarnished by him. Being a NSF recuit, he should know the consequences of taking the rifle out of the camp and yet, he chose to commit the mistake. He had took the Oath of Allegiance to protect Singapore against all the threats yet, he had became a threat to the society.
Secondly, before he took the rifle out of the camp, he had went to three people and told them what he would do with the rifle. All the three tales he had told were not similar but, each tale he said was
to commit or crime. He had told the tales to his buddy, Ong Boon Jun and Lieuteuant Choo. As a Lieuteuant and a friend, they should try persuade him to stop him from doing foolish things.
Lastly, Mas Selemat is still on the loose. What if the rifle landed in Mas Selemat's hand? Will he use it to harm more people? By giving him a punishment of 110 months in jail and 18 strokes of cane, it can be also used as a warning to all NS men to convince them not to do foolish things.

A School is an institution designed to allow and encourage students (or "pupils") to learn, under the supervision of teachers. Most countries have systems of formal education, which is commonly compulsory. In these systems, students progress through a series of schools. The names for these schools vary by country (discussed in the Regional section below), but generally include primary school for young children and secondary school for teenagers who have completed primary education.
In addition to these core schools, students in a given country may also
Schools in the Media
Schools and schoolchildren are frequently portrayed in fiction and the media, ranging from Harry Potter and Grange Hill to Battle Royale. See List of fictional schools
Stress
The neutrality of this section is disputed.
Please see the discussion on the talk page.(December 2007)
Please do not remove this message until the dispute is resolved.
As a profession, teaching has very high levels of Work-Related Stress (WRS)[2] which are listed as amongst the highest of any profession in some countries, such as the United Kingdom. The degree of this problem is becoming increasingly recognised and support systems are being put into place.[3][4] Teacher education is increasingly recognizing the need for new entrants to the profession to be aware of and trained to overcome the challenges that they will face on the 'mental health' front.[citation needed]
Discipline
Schools and their teachers have always been under pressure — for instance, pressure to cover the curriculum, to perform well in comparison to other schools, and to avoid the stigma of being "soft" or "spoiling" toward students. Forms of discipline, such as control over when students will and will not speak, and normalized behaviour, such as raising one's hand to speak, are imposed in the name of greater efficiency. Practitoners of critical pedagogy point out that such disciplinary measures have no positive effect on student learning; indeed, some would argue that disciplinary practices actually detract from learning since they undermine students' individual dignity and sense of self-worth, the latter occupying a more primary role in students' hierarchy of needs.
to me school sometimes is like a jail, and students are the prisoners.in the morning students have to reach school.students are not allowed to leave school without permission. we will be released for home at certain time in the afternoon. the next day ,we have to obediently return back to school.
what i like about going to school is that i can spend my time more meaningfully.
