Hiya brudders, In anticipation of the upcoming movie 2012, here's an interesting article about the year 2012. A bit long winded but worth the read, so carry on . . . . 2012 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The 2012 phenomenon is a range of beliefs and proposals positing that cataclysmic or transformative events will occur in the year 2012. The forecast is based primarily on what is claimed to be the end-date of the Mayan Long Count calendar, which is presented as lasting 5,125 years and as terminating on December 21 or 23, 2012. Arguments supporting this dating are drawn from a mixture of amateur archaeoastronomy, alternative interpretations of mythology, numerological constructions, and alleged prophecies from extraterrestrial beings. A New Age interpretation of this transition posits that, during this time, the planet and its inhabitants may undergo a positive physical or spiritual transformation, and that 2012 may mark the beginning of a new era. Conversely, some believe that the 2012 date marks the beginning of an apocalypse. Both ideas have been disseminated in numerous books and TV documentaries, and have spread around the world through websites and discussion groups. Mayanist scholars argue that the idea that the Long Count calendar "ends" in 2012 misrepresents Maya history. To the modern Maya, 2012 is largely irrelevant, and classic Maya sources on the subject are scarce and contradictory, suggesting that there was little if any universal agreement among them about what, if anything, the date might mean. The claims put forward by those predicting the end of the world in 2012 (alignment with a black hole, collision with a rogue planet, polar shifts) have been rejected as pseudoscience by the scientific community. Many of these claims violate the laws of physics, or are contradicted by simple observations. A film called 2012, directed by Roland Emmerich, has employed a viral marketing campaign drawing on fears of an apocalypse in that year. This campaign, which masquerades as a public awareness video from the fictitious "Institute for Human Continuity", has been roundly criticised for contributing to popular anxiety on the topic. Mesoamerican Long Count calendar December 2012 marks the ending of the current baktun cycle of the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, which was used in what is now Central America prior to the arrival of Europeans. Though the Long Count was most likely invented by the Olmec, it has become closely associated with the Maya civilization, whose classic period lasted from 250 to 900 AD. The classic Maya were literate and their writing system has been substantially deciphered, meaning that a corpus of their written and inscribed material has survived from before the European conquest. The Long Count set its "year zero" at a point in the past marking the end of the previous world and the beginning of the current one, which corresponds to either 11 or 13 August 3114 BC in the Proleptic Gregorian calendar, depending on the formula used. Unlike the 52-year calendar round still used today among the Maya, the Long Count was linear, rather than cyclical, and kept time roughly in units of 20, so 20 days made a uinal, 18 uinals, or 360 days, made a tun, 20 tuns made a katun, and 20 katuns, or 144,000 days, made up a baktun. So, for example, the Mayan date of 8.3.2.10.15 represents 8 baktuns, 3 katuns, 2 tuns, 10 uinals and 15 days since creation. Many Mayan inscriptions have the count shifting to a higher order after 13 baktuns. Today, the most widely accepted correlations of the end of the thirteenth baktun, or Mayan date 13.0.0.0.0, with the Western calendar are either December 21 or December 23, 2012. In 1957, the early Mayanist and astronomer Maud Worcester Makemson wrote that "[t]he completion of a Great Period of 13 baktuns would have been of the utmost significance to the Maya". The anthropologist Munro S. Edmonson added that "there appears to be a strong likelihood that the eral calendar, like the year calendar, was motivated by a long-range astronomical prediction, one that made a correct solsticial forecast 2,367 years into the future in 355 B.C. [sic]". In 1966, Michael D. Coe more ambitiously claimed in The Maya that "[t]here is a suggestion [...] that Armageddon would overtake the degenerate peoples of the world and all creation on the final day of the thirteenth [baktun]. Thus [...] our present universe [... would] be annihilated on December 24, AD 2011, [later revised to December 23, 2012] when the Great Cycle of the Long Count reaches completion." Coe's apocalyptic connotations were accepted by other scholars through the early 1990s. But more recent academic scholars have said that, while the end of the 13th baktun would perhaps be a cause for celebration, it did not mark the end of the calendar. In their seminal work of 1990, the Maya scholars Linda Schele and David Freidel, who reference Edmonson, argue that the Maya "did not conceive this to be the end of creation, as many have suggested," citing Mayan predictions of events to occur after the end of the 13th baktun. Schele and Freidel note that creation date was inscribed at Coba as 13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.0.0.0.0, with twenty units above the katun. According to Schele and Friedel, these 13s should be treated as 0s, so the Coba number would be read as if it were 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0, with the units of each column beyond the second (counting from right to left) equal to 20 times those of the previous one (The Maya, due to their cyclical concept of time, also wrote the date of creation, their zero date, as 13.0.0.0.0). This number represented "the starting point of a huge odometer of time". Schele and Freidel calculate that the date at which this odometer would run out lies some 4.134105

need the long type. any wordings on it also ok. let me know condition and price thanks.

Many have asked, but few have answered. This is my field report for the benefit of those who wants to replace their defaced OPC car number plate. Mine was plastic numbering and has turned yellow in less than a year. 1. Download form R08 from onemotoring.com.sg > LTA information & guidelines > forms download > WEC & Off Peak car scheme >R08 2. Find a car number plate maker and get ur number plate done. (duration for new number plate to be done = 30min - 1hr) ($60 - $80) 3. Have form R08 chop and signed by ur car number plate maker at Appendix 1 of the form. Fill in his particulars on the front page too. Choose option 3. other reason from the option y u wanna change ur number plate. State reason as "replace defaced number plate" 4. Send ur car to inspection center for seal inspection ($10.70). 5. Bring along owner photostat IC (if owner, then own IC), inspection slip and filled form R08 to LTA Sin Ming. (duration = <1hr) 6. Bring to workshop with the LTA approval letter to remove the seal and change the number plate. ($70- $100 depends how complicated it is, some seal need welding to remove and re-attach) 7. Send back to inspection center to apply the seal. ($16.05) 8. DONE! I just got it done yesterday all in all took me only 3hrs from inspection, LTA approval, remove seal, re-apply seal. Total damaged $156.75 + $20 OPC coupon. Hope this helps our fellow OPC driver!

Need help urgently on this. Have to figure out my IU number to apply for season parking for my new job. And I have no way of knowing what is the number. The only time I catch a glimpse of the number is when I pass through a EPS Carpark gantry, and the numbers just flash across the carpark display for a moment. Is there a foolproof way to figure this out?

While I am glad LTA only levies an application fee of 100 dollars on retaining an old license number on a new car, I do not understand the rational of charging a princely sum of 1,300 dollars for transferring a memorable number to another car owned by the same person. The car with the original license number is usually sold or scrapped. Furthermore, the car whose number was transferred from must apply for a new number plate, costing at least 321 dollars. So in total, the cost for keeping the number is at least 1,621 dollars. Of course, there is the swapping of license numbers. It costs a whopping 2,600 dollars just to swap the licenses between the cars you own. What happens when you decide to stop driving regularly, and start to enjoy our efficient public transport, but still like to retain your keepsake number to remember your very first vehicle, or your "pat tor" mobile that nabbed you your then girlfriend, now wife? A logical solution is to keep the number within the family, either by passing the number to your kids, or your wife. The price of this transfer would be a shocking 1,621 dollars, plus a significant transfer fee of the original car to the name of your relation in question of at least a few hundreds, to thousands of dollars, depending on the Open Market Value(OMV). In addition, the original vehicle log card would have its ownership count increased by 1, critically affecting its resale value. In an age where Singaporeans struggle to find their roots, where our schools no longer stand on where it was, replaced by a cold, new building, possibly with another name, or the familiar name now hangs on another campus totally foreign to us, our associative vehicle license number is a good way to reminisence the old times. I understand there are complications involved in eradicating the costs of number retention. Firstly, jokers around will swap their plates as and when they like, creating confusion amongst some. Secondly, people may profit out of reselling old numbers on an larger scale. Thirdly, having a large quantity of retained numbers could mean the new numbers advance more slowly, and bidders for their favourite number have to wait longer for them. However, these are simple problems which could be hemmed in by setting certain criterias, and timeframes for number swaps to take effect, but allowing appeals on case by case basis if the conditions are not met. Moreover, with a 100 dollar charge to retain number from an old vehicle to the new one currently, it is unlikely the rate of new numbers generated is impeded. Furthermore, once the number swapping novelty wears off and becomes a norm, it is unlikely the abuses will continue. What do you think?

Except me my colleagues almost gave up to surf MCF liao, because always same topics repeated and repeated MCF some threads already received tons of replies even up to few thousands how many peoples realy got time to read through all the posts? let's say if the particular thread received 500 replies, lock the thread, if someone still want to say something on this topic,create new thread
