# data[].attributes.body
This article is about Joseph schooling failing to qualify for 100m freestyle semi-finals at Olympics.

On 12 August 2016, in Rio de Janeiro, Schooling won a gold medal in the 100 m butterfly with a time of 50.39 seconds, the first Olympic gold medal won by Singapore.

During Tokyo Olympics ,Joseph schooling loss to the American fastest swimmer Caleb dressel by 0.02 seconds. Joseph schooling has been doing a lot of butterfly training the whole year, not really any emphasis on freestyle. But at the same time, that's not an excuse, it's just an opportunity to come here and get up and race and see where he's at.

No matter how hard he had trained there's someone who would overtake him. But he has grit to continue training.

TOKYO: Swimmer Joseph Schooling failed to qualify for the semi-finals of the 100m freestyle at the Tokyo Olympics on Tuesday (Jul 27).

He clocked a time of 49.84 and was sixth in his heat. His time placed him 39th overall out of 70.

Italy's Thomas Ceccon clocked a time of 47.71 to top the field, with the American Caeleb Dressel finishing 0.02 behind him. The 16th position, which is the final qualification spot, went to Great Britain's Jacob Whittle (48.44).

Schooling's national record stands at 48.27, which he achieved at the 2016 Rio Olympics. His record-breaking swim in Brazil sent him to the semi-finals that year. He eventually finished 16th.

At the 2019 SEA Games in the Philippines, Schooling timed 49.64, finishing behind compatriot Darren Chua (49.59).

"EMPHASIS IS THE FLY"
Speaking to reporters after the race, Schooling said it was good to get one race in Tokyo under his belt.

"The time's definitely a tough one but it was a good race to get the hurt out of," he said.

"(I) felt like I gave it my best today. The time didn't reflect where I thought I'd be, but at the same time ... the emphasis is the fly, and that's what I'm looking forward to."

https://www.gamegrin.com/articles/the-story-of-faker-the-greatest-league-of-legends-player-and-his-effect-on-esports/

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
On the 7th of May 1996, in Seoul, South Korea, a legend was born. The greatest LoL player of all time. Lee Sang-hyeok was raised by a single parent - his father who believed that Faker was born to perform in the esports industry. It all began with the MOBA game CHAOS but he moved on to League of Legends in December 2011. He found the game while browsing the web. In an esports online competitive platform, players around the world play different games and compete with each other to determine who is the best. Shortly after that, he became sought after by several Korean teams. The decision to turn 'Pro' was a tough one for Faker since he just entered high-school. However, he decided to drop out and join SKT T1's secondary squad. They quickly became very well-known, acquiring the top position at the Olympus Champions Spring 2013. Faker gained people's attention when he dominated 'Ambition' on the mid lane. At the 2013 summer finals, Faker shocked the world with his insane outplay with Zed vs 'Ryu'. That game win earned SKT a spot in the 2013 World Championship which gave Faker a chance to prove his 'medal' internationally. SKT won against Royal Club with 3-0 at the grand finals and that was their first Worlds title.

The esports fanbase called Faker "The best in the world". Now, betting on an esports player like Faker has very high odds (he is the best, right?). esports betting is a relatively new concept these days with many online bookmakers now happy to take a bet on esports matches around the world. Due to the COVID-19 situation right now, the esports competitive platforms are gaining popularity as online gaming is still running and you can bet for your favorite teams. Players are playing the games remotely from their homes and gaming tournaments are still going ahead completely online with players able to log into tournaments remotely and taking care of social distancing measures. Esports betting works exactly the same way as RL sports betting websites. You can bet for many games such as League of Legends ( LoL), Counter-Strike ( CS:GO), Dota 2, FIFA, F1 and much more.

For online bettors looking to bet online, Faker is the guy to bet upon. You have to be a very unlucky guy to bet on Faker and lose your money. In fact, following some of the teams that play in esports tournaments help you a lot with better and safer betting... I mean, every single person does it for some extra cash right? Have knowledge of what you're betting for! It's not that hard.

Faker and SKT were dominating on the esports stage and got better game-by-game. However, their bad days came too in the Spring and Summer season of 2014. They had one last shot at worlds through the regional qualifiers but they lost vs 'NaJin W Shield' 3-1. It was time for a change. 'Impact' and 'Piglet' left the team. SKT's two squads were merged into one. For the first time, Faker had a competition for his starting role. He and 'Easyhoon' would split the duties throughout the season. Faker was used to the turns for playing mid, but when he didn't play, seeing his team winning and celebrating without him, made him sad. However, SKT got to the MSI 2015.

They got out of the group stages. At the finals against 'Edward Gaming', SKT decided to put Faker on the bench and let Easyhoon play on the mid lane against 'Pawn', a player who was a big problem for Faker. However, SKT were losing 1-2. Faker came back for the 4th game taking the victory and forcing a final deciding 5th game. 'EDG' didn't ban 'Leblanc' which was Faker's secret weapon since he had never lost a competitive match with it. However, this was a 'bait' since EDG's mid lane happened to be 'Morgana' which is a counter pick for 'Leblanc'. Faker tried his best, playing well despite the counter pick, but EDG managed to win the game, therefore the MSI title, writing in the history book the first loss of Faker as 'Leblanc'.

After their loss at MSI 2015, SKT bounced back, Faker was returning to his dominant form and that gave him the opportunity to win his second world championship. He said that it takes a lot of effort to stay at the top but after winning his second world championship, he wanted so badly to win the only international event left - the MSI. After the disappointment at MSI 2015, this was Faker's chance to come back at the top.

At the 2016 World Championship Finals, SKT had a very challenging win vs SSG (3-2). Before the finals, SKT was pegged at -450 as favourite to win while SSG was at +300 by Bovada. Such odds can be found on many betting websites that you can try your luck and match your esports knowledge. You can try esports betting at freebets.co.uk where you can find bets for different esport games with the latest competitive matches. The event cast commented that Faker was the MVP, allowing his team to win their 3rd championship. These days due to COVID-19 pandemic, there is a lack of real-life sports at the moment. Many people that used to bet on football, basketball, tennis, etc. are now heading to the esports betting websites and bet there. Many people that didn't even know that esports betting existed, found it very entertaining and interesting to bet for online games. One more good thing is that you can bet 24/7 due to the consistent activity of the esports platform. There are always esport matches that you can bet on. That is because there are different teams from all around the world and they play in different time zones.

If Faker, the greatest League of Legends player, seems like a guy who can make you some money, you can check his match performance and his team performance (SKTs' name is now T1). It's a good thing to mark one, two or three teams and follow them often. That can help you with understanding how the game works and how those teams are performing vs each other and vs other teams. That is one of the pieces of advice that you need for proper betting. I mean it's always good that you know who you are betting for, right? That can prevent you from unnecessarily losing big amounts of money.

However, remember that betting is for fun! Don't try to substitute your job with it! Know your limits, if you don't know them - set them. It's always good to know how much money you can spend monthly on betting. And I'm saying this to prevent you from addiction to betting since it's not 100% sure that you will win. So I'm gonna say it again - play for fun, bet for fun.

There are a lot of betting websites that offer deposit bonuses which allow you to make some bets with their money. Before that, you must read the requirements for using their bonuses. The odds are higher if you bet for a team with a bigger chance to win but who knows... sometimes miracles happen and if you bet for a team that has a big coefficient for winning (and it wins) you're gonna be so happy about it. In fact, be careful and play safe!

This article shows that even though Singapore is a multiracial country , some people feel that their identification has been taken away from them . The article stated that its difficult to tell people who are citizens here that Singaporean should be their “ first and foremost “ identity and that their other identity should always be second said Professor Chan . But most people agree that it is important for them to be able to figure out if they are fully committed to the country while remaining true aspects of the identity they feel most strongly about . The points that stood out to me is that it made me realise that multiple people feel that their main identity has been replaced by another identity that their not really comfortable with . One thing that i really want to know is that why are citizens identification are being taken away and replaced with another identification in order to fit in in the country .

https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/transport/first-public-buses-with-solar-panels-hit-the-road-in-six-month-trial-by-go-ahead

The article is about the first public buses fitted with ultra-thin solar panels started plying the roads on Tuesday (March 30), in a six-month proof-of-concept trial by bus operator Go-Ahead Singapore. The panels were installed on MAN A22 Euro 6 diesel-powered buses on Service 15.

"A lot of the diesel buses in Singapore have still got many years of life left in them... By fitting the solar panels, we can make the diesel buses even more green and efficient."

This means that by adding solar panels to diesel buses not only can it be green and efficient, but it also means that the bus operator can save budget on fuel if buses run on natural power.

It stands out to me as I am a bus enthusiast myself. However, it doesn't affect just me as buses do breakdown sometimes. Having solar panel installed means that buses may have more problem.

Nothing. I'm constantly updated on Singapore's transport affairs.

1. This article is about how Nearly a million vehicles ply Singapore’s roads today, releasing around 6.4 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2)-equivalent each year, over a tenth of the city-state’s total emissions. Less than 0.5 per cent of these are electric vehicles (EVs) and Singapore aims to have driven all vehicles running on fossil fuels through an internal combustion engine (ICEs) off the road.

2.Given the 10-year certificates of entitlement, this means from 2030, all new cars will have to run on cleaner energy. They will have to be either electric, hybrid or hydrogen fuel cell ones. And diesel cars and taxis — which emit the, even more, pollutive PM2.5 — will not be sold from 2025.

https://medium.com/@troysk/tiktok-and-the-globalisation-of-china-model-2c0229d88c0a

1. What is the title about?

The article that I had just read shows how the Globalisation of Tiktok has negative outweighing positive effects. The writer of this article stated that Tiktok is efficient in terms of its perks. From the 'no account needed ' to view the app's contents to the 'super easy skip'  and overall having 'a good time'.  However, these perks have the same effects as a cocaine addict. From its 'endless autoplaying videos' to its 'Ai' that tracks your phone to create the page filled with videos based on your liking to make you stay hooked to the app.

2. Key ideas brought up by the author
"TikTok’s vision is shallow and focussed only on increasing engagement" This statement was an eye-opener for me. Tiktok does not allow a user to explore out of their already known and comfortable space, it wants you to stay in a place where you are unable to learn something new. Explore to find new interests. Teach valuable lessons to impressionable kids since the age requirement is only, 12 years old. Based on my experience, Tiktok will also show you a video that is trending amongst who you follow and what country that you are most interested in in my case, it is, America. It will usually show me the current argument between two different Tiktok users and based on whichever video I liked first, it will only show videos that supports that side of the argument. This allowed me to be close-minded and be such a bad listener. Why? I am supporting one side without hearing out from both arguments, not a good lesson to be implementing in my daily life.

''TikTok grows and a number of copycats emerge'' What this statement is trying to say is Tiktok is a globally known trendsetter app. Based on my experience, when I spend a decent amount of time using Tiktok exposing myself to different people, it subconsciously made me pick up their habits. The way they talk, move and even dress had been picked up by me and many people around me. When I go on other social media platforms I noticed that in terms of fashion, many of my mutuals I have seen are wearing the same outfits. This supports the author's statement of the risings of, 'copycats'.

''TikTok shuts that human emotion of aspiration and forces us to submit to our addictions and watch what the master thinks is correct.'' This is trying to tell us that instead of allowing us to branch out, it wants us to stay in our shells. The 'master' refers to the AI that has been created by the owner of Tiktok. How this harms the current society is how much it is affecting us but having barely anybody noticing, an example can be given. Spending hours on Tiktok? Normalized. Although there is a positive outcome to this such as having awareness on hard-to-grasp topics such as sexual harassment and assault, politics, and even sexualities. However. spending so much time on an app does not allow you to learn real-life problems and situations. you only know how to live and express it online, but, when it comes to being in the real world many blank out. Tiktok wants you to stay by subliminally allowing us to get addicted to their short-lived videos. scientific research can support that.

3. Why do these points stand out?
These points stood out to me as it is a problem that the current society has yet to notice. Everything everything is normalized bad or good alike. a reading of this article will be beneficial from strangers to family, basically everyone.

4. What more I'd like to know about this topic?
I would like to know the most extreme case of a Tiktok addict

https://www.sciencenews.org/article/electric-vehicles-cars-climate-change-challenges-2021

1. This article shows how electric has a huge positive impact on the environment as global warming is real and is getting dangerous and electric cars having to help with the problem as it reduces greenhouse gas emissions and one solution is by shifting renewable energy sources. But the path to that cleaner future is daunting, clogged with political and societal roadblocks, as well as scientific obstacles. Perhaps that’s one reason why the electric vehicle already on the road, already navigating many of these roadblocks swerved so dramatically into the climate solutions spotlight in 2021

2. Globally, EV sales surged in the first half of 2021, increasing by 160 percent compared with the previous year. Even in 2020 when most car sales were down due to the COVID-19 pandemic EV sales were up 46 percent relative to 2019. Meanwhile automakers of all sorts have been switching to or making electric vehicles, for examples car companies like Ford have been switching to electric like the famous mustang which have been switched to an electric suv and F-150 pickup truck

https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/parenting-education/whats-behind-the-decision-to-close-yale-nus-college

1. This article if about a shocking announcement of Yale NUS closure. Yale NUS is known for the Asia's leading liberal arts and sciences. Upon its withdraw in 2025, many students, alumni and faculty members have expressed anger and unhappiness at the decision. NUS said with the closure of Yale NUS, would then form the basis of a yet-to-be-named new college, which will open next year. Calling the move a “merger”.

2. Firstly, the writer brought up that the closure of NUS is to form a new and larger liberal arts college. This would lead to a plan to merge the two programmes under the New College. Secondly, the writer wrote that the aim of newly ongoing opening college next year is to deliver flexible, interdisciplinary education more accessibly, and on a greater scale. Thirdly, the writer enhance that with the petitions challenging the merger, there would be more engagement of  their staff, faculty, students and alumni to address their concerns and questions.

3. This information stand out to me as there would be chance that my peers may be affecting in not getting a opportunity to get into the University by that programme.

4. I would like to know more about the newly opening of the merger of the college.

1) This article is about office workers who does not want to do office chores and pass them to mostly female executive admin staff.

2) First key idea, reasons why admin staff put up with office chores. Office chores are sometimes very tiring and stressful so we would think admin staff would not be able to handle it but they put up with it.

Second key idea, the ways to help those who has been given office chores often. This helps the admin staff who was given the office chores to relax a little and not stress themselves out with too many.

Third key idea, the ways to prevent such office chores to be given to the same admin staff multiple times. This would help the admin staff to not receive too many of them.

3) These points stand out to me because it helps the community to be able to work in their own time, relax a little and not stress out too much when doing office chores.

This article tells us that Loh Kean Yew is a badminton world championship. He is honored to deliver this first gold for Singapore. He was 9-3 down in the opening but roared back and at 12-12 he flung himself to the ground to retrieve a smash and bounced right up for the kill and he never looked back. The second game was similar, and he was down 16-18 but he was resilient in his journey to become world champion, and he did so by winning his third match point.

This article is about a tennis star named Novak Djokovic. Judges rejected a challenge launched by the unvaccinated tennis star after the government cancelled his visa on "health and good order" grounds.

Djokovic said he was "extremely disappointed" but accepted the ruling. He left on a flight to Dubai on Sunday.

It marks the end of a 10-day saga, in which Djokovic fought to stay to defend his title in the Australian Open. Although Djokovic is not vaccinated against Covid-19, he has not actively promoted anti-vax disinformation. However, Australian anti-vaxxers have been using the hashtag #IStandWithDjokovic on social media.
I think these points stand out to me because it is shocking that the number one tennis player would be banned from the competition because of this mistake.

Mala is known to to provide its consumers with the numbing and spicy affect it creates thus to its name “Ma” for numbness and “la” for the spiciness.

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/1/16/tonga-volcano-eruption-caused-significant-damage-says-ardern

Title : Tonga Volcano Eruption

On Saturday, A  volcano by the name “ Hunga-Tonga-Hunga-Ha’apai “had erupted on the island of Tonga,New Zealand.The volcano generated a  1.2 metre tsunami and an ash cloud that has struck the Tongan capital,Nuku’alofa causing major damage.The natural disaster triggered Tsunami alerts across the Pacific as it is vulnerable from the volcano’s after effects.New Zealand and other countries’s Rescue efforts were delayed as the destruction of the volcano had cut off communications from the Tongan island.The problem had led Rescue efforts waiting for the disaster to subside and there were no reported casualties in the island.This volcano had previously erupted multiple times.However,in this case,the volcano’s blast was extremely loud that it was heard 800km away in Fiji.

Main points with opinion :
1.) the destructive impact/aftermath of the disaster in Tonga
Opinion : I am fortunate that i live in Singapore where the geographical nature does not threaten our country.But if there was a major natural occurrence that can cause significant damage.I might feel horrified as it is unexpected even if Singapore is prepared for any challenges that would yet to come.But a major disaster like this takes time and money to be  fixed and healed.In a situation like this might most people become homeless and our crops.The quality may deteriorate because of lack of sun and we may have to depend on food rations.

2.)Rescue efforts were faced with challenges in helping the inhabitants in Tonga
Opinions : Rescue efforts are human.They are not superheroes.Of course they will face challenges in trying to assist the needy.But it would be problematic as victims are really in urgency to want assistance.Dont delay the time too much or else if something horrible were to happen to the victims,the rescue efforts will be given a  bad title.

3.)The after effects of the volcano around the world
Opinion : I really know that earth’s geographical nature can take a toll on humanity.Id really hate if its after effects reached Singapore.Imagine the sky.Itwould turn dull and if it turns dull,there would be less growth of plantations and the air quality would drop quickly than the daily carbon emissions of vehicles.In a Pandemic,i may have to switch an alternative mask specialised in filtering air that is polluted while facing the risk of getting the coronavirus.
