Bukit Timah

**Bukit Timah** is an area in Singapore and a hill in that area. Bukit Timah Hill stands at an altitude of  and is the highest point in the city-state of Singapore. Bukit Timah is near the centre of Singapore island. Bukit Timah is 10 kilometres (6 miles) from Singapore's business district.

## Etymology and history of Bukit Timah Hill
***Bukit Timah***, which means "tin-bearing hill" in Malay, was on the 1828 map by Frankin and Philip Jackson as *Bukit Timah*. The hill was on the map as the eastern source of the Kranji River.

In December 1843, a road was built up to the hill. The hill was an "excellent sanatorium", as the air was "*cooler and fresher than the plain, producing an agreeable exhilaration of spirits*".

For some, it is synonymous with the Singapore Turf Club, where members and paying visitors flock on race days. This course is closed to the public, unlike the former course (now Farrer Park) where the general public enjoyed watching the king's sport for free.

.]]
The 25-km long Bukit Timah Road, the longest road in Singapore, running north and south of the island, takes its name from this hill. The road to Kranji was completed in 1845. Apparently, the area was so infested with tigers that it constituted a serious threat to human life. In 1860, nearly 200 people were reported to have been killed by tigers in and about the gambier and pepper plantations. The first ride on horseback across the island was along Bukit Timah Road in 1840; it took four days and was made by Mr Thomson and Dr Little.

Bukit Timah Road is known as *tek kha kang a kinn* in Hokkien, which means "the side of the stream in the *tek kha* (or Selegie Road) district". This only refers to the lower end of the Bukit Timah Road. The Wayang Satu and Bukit Timah village parts are differently called. The Hokkiens also refer to Bukit Timah as *be chia lo bue*, meaning "end of the horse carriage road".

During World War II, the British Army lost Bukit Timah to the Japanese on February 11th, they knew they had little chance of winning the war as most of their food and supplies were stored there. On 15 February 1942,

The Bukit Timah Race Course, a Thoroughbred horse racing facility, was opened in 1933 and operated until 1999.

The nearby area houses many bungalows, traditionally expensive in land-scarce Singapore, as well as high rise condominiums. Many expatriates and well heeled Singaporeans tend to stay in this region.  The rise in land prices has led to development of new condominiums.  For example, the Copthorne Orchid Hotel in Dunearn Road is being redeveloped into condominiums for sale.

This region was later extended and Upper Bukit Timah (District 21) was formed. The Keretapi Tanah Melayu from Malaysia has a passing loop station here along its rail network from Johor Bahru to Tanjong Pagar.

BookCrossing

**BookCrossing** (also: **BC**, **BCing** or **BXing**) is defined as "the practice of leaving a book in a public place to be picked up and read by others, who then do likewise." The term comes from bookcrossing.com, a free online book club which began in order to further the practice, with the goal to "make the whole world a library."

The 'crossing' or exchanging of books may take many different forms, including wild releasing books in public, direct swaps with other members of the website, or "book rings" in which books travel in a set order to people who want to read that book. The community aspect of BookCrossing.com has grown in ways that were not expected at the start, in the form of blog or forum discussions, mailing lists and yearly conventions all over the world.

## History 
Ron Hornbaker came up the idea for what is now known as BookCrossing in March 2001. About four weeks later, on April 17, he started the website, which has grown all over the world. By April 2003 the website had over 113,000 members, and in 2004 the *Concise Oxford Dictionary* included the word "bookcrossing". In the same year, BookCrossing was featured as a part of a storyline in the Australian soap opera *Neighbours*. As of 30 September 2009, Bookcrossing.com had over 814,000 members, with over 5,800,000 registered books.

In July 2007 Singapore became the first official BookCrossing country in the world. 2,000 locations within the country were designated as 'hotspots', similar to Official BookCrossing Zones. In 2008, BookCrossing was introduced to Abu Dhabi as part of a joint venture with the Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage.

### Awards 
In May 2005 BookCrossing.com won two People's Voice awards in the Webby Awards for best community website and best social/networking website. BookCrossing was also featured in a BBC Radio project broadcast as 84 Book Crossing Road , which involved releasing 84 copies of Helene Hanff's book *84 Charing Cross Road* around the world.  The show was produced by Tim Heffer and Alan Hall of Falling Tree Productions, and was nominated for a Sony Radio Academy Award in 2006.

## About 
Anyone who wishes to "release" books, whether leaving it in a public place or passing it on to a friend, must register on the BookCrossing.com website, although there is the option to remain hidden when "catching" the find of a book. BookCrossing.com users can 'go hunting', where a member will go to the website to view a list of books that have just been "released", then go to the place it was left to "catch" it. Books may also be left at Official BookCrossing Zones" (OBCZs), which are located in certain coffee shops, cafes, restaurants and other public places. The purpose of these places is to get members in the area to leave books to share with the public. This also promotes BookCrossing and creates more members.

Piracy

**Piracy** can mean different things; it can be a crime that is committed. A human on a ship at sea who steals from other ships is called a **pirate**. Pirates usually have small, fast boats. Pirates use such boats to attack other ships, which are usually large cargo ships. ]]
For as long as ships have sailed the sea, there have been pirates. Ancient Egypt and the Romans, Medieval kings, and the British Empire dealt with pirates. Fighting pirates has sometimes been one of the most important roles of a navy.

Piracy still happens in the modern world. The Gulf of Aden (which is off the coast of Somalia) has especially high rates of pirate attacks, mostly by Somali pirates. 

## Modern 
Usually, modern pirates climb onto ships to get money. In the process, they may kill the crew or hold it for ransom. In a very few cases, they may also take over the ship and sell its cargo.

The cargo ships that travel the oceans are huge, but they usually have very few crew members working on them. Their size often makes the ships carry a lot of money in the safe. The money is used to pay the crew, to pay for the taxes to stay at a port, or to pass through a channel.

Live Free or Die

"**Live Free or Die**" is the official motto  of the U.S. state of New Hampshire, adopted by the state in 1945.

The phrase comes from a toast written by General John Stark on July 31, 1809. Stark was New Hampshire's most famous soldier of the American Revolutionary War.  His poor health forced him to decline an invitation to a reunion of the Battle of Bennington.  He sent his toast by letter: 
:*Live free or die: Death is not the worst of evils.*

The motto was enacted at the same time as the state emblem, on which it appears.

Palm reading

**Palm reading** or **chiromancy** is when a fortune teller tells you your future by looking at lines on your palm. Those who practice chiromancy are generally called *palmists*, hand readers. 

## History 
**Ancient Origins:** Likely originated in ancient India (part of the broader tradition of Samudrika Shastra), palmistry later spread through Persia, China, Tibet, Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Greece, where figures like Aristotle referenced it

**Jewish and Arabic Traditions:** Medieval Merkabah mystics and medieval Arabic‑Jewish scholars linked chiromancy to astrology and mystical tradition, often using scriptural interpretations to legitimize its practice.

**Renaissance and Modern Revival:** Palmistry flourished in Medieval and Renaissance Europe. Printed manuals and diagrams from the 1500s standardized its practice. In the 19th‑early 20th centuries, figures like Cheiro (William John Warner) and Adolphe Desbarrolles formalized chiromancy into a more public, “systematic” art

**Elizabeth Helen Blackburn** is an Australian-American molecular biologist who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2009.

## Work 
Blackburn won the Nobel Prize with Americans Jack Szostak and Carol Greider for their work on chromosomes. They researched the way that telomeres protect the chromosomes in cells. Chromosomes are the part of the cell that carries genetic information. Telomeres are the ends of chromosomes. Blackburn outlined the DNA sequence of an organism called Tetrahymena. Blackburn discovered that telomeres can help prevent cancer and other diseases. Blackburn is the first Australian woman to win a Nobel Prize. She also received the Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research Award in 2006.

## Life 
Blackburn was born in Hobart, Tasmania on November 26, 1948. She was the daughter of Harold and Marcia Blackburn. She went to Broadford girls school in Launceston, and later Melbourne University High School. She studied biochemistry at the University of Melbourne, completed her PhD at the University of Cambridge, Darwin College, and did postdoctoral work at Yale University.
