[H] The Teacher who Killed 200 Japanese in WWII!
When we talk about a teacher, what comes into mind is a sweet, loving but strict person that will shape our future. They are also considered as our second parents. In our second home which is the school.
But are you aware that sometime during World War II, a teacher took justice on her hands and killed hundreds if Japanese soldiers to protect his students and her beloved country? Her name was Nieves Fernandez. A strong and independent woman who made history for herself.
Our hero, Nieves Fernandez was a school teacher in Tacloban. When the Japanese invaded the Philippines in 1941 everyone's life was changed. Her students call her “Miss Fernandez,” and she was very protective of them. Her fierce motherly instincts reared to the fore when the Japanese threatened to kill her students. She shifted from being a motherly school teacher to a stealthy lone assassin, and responsible for killing over 200 Japanese soldiers in war II.
At the point when the Japanese invaded the Philippines in 1941, they removed all the assets of Filipinos. Nobody was permitted to possess any organizations, and nobody was permitted to teach anything aside from those endorsed by Imperial Japan.
In her old neighborhood of Tacloban, the Japanese constrained entrepreneurs into accommodation by dousing them in burning water.
Fernandez told a correspondent from the Lewiston Daily Sun in November 1944. "They took all that they needed."
Fernandez chose to assume control over issues after the Japanese took away her assets and private venture and took steps to take away her students too.
Fernandez got known as "The Silent Killer." Alone and wearing all-dark clothing, she would set up ambushes in the wilderness outfitted uniquely with a makeshift shotgun, which she made out of a gas line, and her bolo.
For over two years, Fernandez did ambushes all alone. She would head into the wilderness shoeless, taking out many adversary troops alone.
The Japanese became so pissed of Fernandez that they chose to put a P10,000 ($30,944 in today's money) bounty on her head in the desperation that her kindred Filipinos would double-cross her. But despite the huge amount of money, nobody took the job.
All through the war, Fernandez and her 110-in number organization would free detainees of war, harm Japanese supplies, and direct many assaults on the Japanese Imperial Army in the Philippines.
Around the end of World War II and when the Americans showed up on Leyte in 1944, Fernandez and her guerrilla powers had just freed numerous towns from the Japanese and liberated many solace ladies.
[Q] Why Chewing Gum is Illegal in Singapore?
Chewing gum has been banned in Singapore since January 1992.
But why would you do such tasty and chewy gum for our mouth be banned after all?
**Trivia**: Studies have shown that chewing sugar-free gum after meals and snacks can help rinse off and neutralize the acids released by the bacteria in plaque, which are harmful to tooth enamel.
**The reason behind the ban**
Before the ban, there had been so many cases of vandalism on public transport using bubble gum. This includes putting gums on the sensors to the door of some trains which causes the door to not open and close properly and to some chairs and tables which is very hard to remove once it sticks on your clothing.
The first prime minister of Singapore was behind the idea of making Singapore a clean and orderly country. His goal was making the city-state a "first-world oasis in a third-world region". And he finds chewing gum, in particular, a problem when it comes to vandalism. Even before the ban took into effect, the Singapore Broadcasting Corporation (now known as MediaCorp) was prohibited from broadcasting chewing gum commercials on their national televisions.
**Rules**
A maximum of two packs per person are allowed for tourists that visit Singapore any more than that is considered as "gum smuggling" and has a penalty of 1 year in jail and a $5,500 fine.
Back in 2004, as a result of the US-Singapore Free Trade Agreement - pharmacists and dentists have been allowed to sell "therapeutic" gum, to customers with a medical prescription.
**The Penalty**
On the first conviction, a fine not exceeding $100,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 2 years or to both;
On the second or subsequent conviction, to a fine not exceeding $200,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 3 years or to both.
Naturally, the public reaction on this particular ban was split before the Singaporean citizens. The people who are working on cinemas and cleaners agreed to this ban while the critics of the ban felt that it was too sudden and harsh. Although, despite the criticism the Singapore Government pushed and made it as a law.
[Q] Do blind people dream in their sleep?
**It had me wondering if blind people actually dream about something.**
Turn's out they do. But there are variations about that since there are some people who were born blind while there are some who eventually went blind as they grow up either by some medical condition or accident.
People born blind don't see in their dreams as they have no idea which is which. Instead, they experience a dream through taste, smell, sound, and touch. On the other hand, people who went blind later in their life experience their dream through touch, based on research.
**What do they dream about?**
Blind people often dream about their guide dogs and eating food.
**Nightmares**
Experts believe that blind people experience more nightmares than normal people do. This is because they face more threatening experiences that normal people do.
Read.Cash in Dark Mode
The first time that I saw this website one thing immediately came in my mind. This website is pretty bright and plain white. It may pose a problem when opening that site at night. So, without doing anything else. I tried looking for an option like most websites to switch into "Dark Mode" but it is non-existent. I know there are mobile browsers that already have that feature that forcibly implements a dark mode version of some websites. But I mainly use my laptop at work in accessing this site. I hope that Read.Cash developers make something like that.
**With that being said in my mind. I did a quick edit in Photoshop on what it may look like when it is in dark mode.**
What do you think? Do you think it looks good on dark mode?
Is this an actual Alien?
In an expedition to uncover the secrets of Antarctica, an international team discovered some strange looking creatures that are quite the mutation from other species. Perhaps this was their evolution to adapt to the extreme condition of the Antarctic.
Look at that bad boy right there. I don't even know what this thing is.
The sea is that largest part of the world as it make up 70% of the Earth. There are lot of things that we don't know about but one thing is for sure. There are more creepy and interesting creatures out there. Waiting to be discovered.
