However, when he cast his net into the water for the third time, one fish is all that he landed. But this was no common fish, but a golden fish, now a golden fish began to employ him and say to him:

Thank you Von, you are listening to the World Tonight with Ritula Shah.
The Libyan capital Tripoli has appeared to be settling to an un-easy calm. But beyond the city there are different stories, both [place name] and [place name] lie just outside Tripoli and both has seen fighting between pro and anti government forces. Tonight has concerned mouth about the civilian [people name] has fight on. The U.S and Europe is still discussing the possiblity of implementing a no-fly zone over Libya.
[08:05]
A short time ago, I spoke to an Italian doctor, who wants to remain anonomous, she just returned from Tripoli and she described what's it like there:
" I think there are time in night time where there was a lot of concern about people has been disappeared and they has been kidnapped overnight, the weather has contributed to the kind of over-vulnable atmosphere fear 'cause it's quite windy and it everytime in the windows checking during the night and people kind of jump in the place thinking this is us now, we are protesting, certainly I has experienced that in my last few night in Tripoli.
They were sleepless night, hearing the noises, all shooting and air blades, after all, it was terrible, very bad.
And what's about the day time, what's like then: "The, the I witness over there was horrible to describe, nothing off from shooting with civilian passing by, it was so aggressive and barbaric in a way that even passing by car and pedestrian on the street cause the quite ... Randomly shooting, oh, all untargeting using sort of type of mechine gun and the .. I just heard from a neightboor who has gone to funeral of the lady who step down to the bacony because she feel it was so unsafe for her kids to stay outside and she got hit by a bullet in the head and die and instantly passing by car and the whole family get injuries. It's so bad, and the story kind of pu-gress over the time while I was there. The people who has shot in the street and was carried back to their houses and all the rule while the shooting has had happened, people was opening their door to let the injuried civilian just to stepping in the house and just at least get be a little bit safe with the shotting, where should they be treated.
[10:25]
People was very frighten but do you think they still have the determination to carry on protesting. Well, to be honest, in my point of view, frighten is not the word to be described the emotion and what's going on, it was just such a horrible feeling. I drive around the city to say goodbye to my friend and my relativ before I left and all I can see is desert street, shut shop, school with no kids, nobody is turning up. Only a very, very small minorities of people is going to work. It is really really sad, I don't think I have words to describe what is going on in Libya.
It was very difficult to get any sences of how many people may have been heard during the protesting is becoming more quiter now but we may understand it. But you get any sences of how many people killed?
It was very difficult because I don't think is there anybody who kind of enable (exactly) to, very difficult to qualitify.
It is relatively quite in Tripoli now, what do you think may happen next, is this possible to tell?
I think people would been urge not to go out more because simply the bound and you just facing machine gun. It is just no safety, no protection, no what so ever. And it is just so frighten, so fighting
Who is this is doing the shooting?
[12:00]
It is very difficult to identify the nationality because there are a lot of question being raise about them being outsider.
Were it often people being in uniform or people in civilian cloth?
You see all sort, you are driving by people who often see armed people, some of them often build gray against and often the army some of time wear normal cloth, it was very difficult, just mix.
Is, is this a price worth-paying for freedom?
Yes, definitely. Yes, Because I think people go to the point and this is certainly talking from the protesting talking to the one I know very well saying we are dieing anyway, what is life meaning to you while you can't speak off. Either we change it or we just die. That's is.
I am not sure whether you can answer this but do you think you can return or you will return?
It depends on what is happening in Libya, I am quite optimistic, thing would be better, thing would be different, but ... very difficult.
Libyan doctor who just return from Tripoli.
Libyan border with Tunisia aid officier has warning of un-folding crisis of a mass of humanity trying to flee the chaos. According to the U.N, during the day about two thousand people acrossing from Libya toTunisia every hour. Once in Tunisia, they have no where to go. It is believed after the twenty thousand are wating to cross from Libya side.
[People name] is from the U.N. high commision for refugee who is speaking outside the Tunisia border and he described the situation.
[14:00]
It has been a humanatinian crisis, there has been more than seventy five thousand people cross the border to Tunisia side, there are report right now that other ten of thousand on other side are still waiting to pass in an extremely conjusted condition here.
And who is this that is crossing - the vast majority of people are Egyptian where working inside Libya, the first couple of aid we have seen mainly Tusinia coming back, there are other nationality such as Vietnamese, Chinese, people from Bangladesh and from other countries.
Mr. [Person name], the head of the U.N. SCA has been quoting to say he think the international excavation is needed, in this case, where would these people be taken?
There are people who is willing to go back home, just want to be back home. The Egyptian Government has been trying it best so far in order to response to this situation but let not forget that Egypt is also a must from revolution. It is now even has to deal with a bigger crisis in the border also with the Libyan and Egyption border, so it is so difficult for one country and one government to deal with it. That is why, it is extremely important for the international community to step in, and provide massive effort in order to bring these people back home.
So what is this that you need then?
In the mean time, we are trying to set up a shelter, it is raining right now, the weather has becoming really cold and all of this people don't have to find a place to sleep, so far it has been the local community that has been providing support, but this local community can not cope with this number anymore. They has been extremely geneous to keep this border open but right now they are just having not be able to deal with it. That's why we are trying to set up now urgent a camp that can take up to about twenty thousand people in order to provide shelter until the operation excavation take places.
For forty years, Tony Buzan has been telling people about "mind maps", he was outside the board in Hong Kong on the weekend to encourage student to use this multi-coloured diagram to organize their thought better.
The mind map does another way compare with the traditional note taking, something that held him back in his student day.
The mind map is a list of photographs of your thoughts.
A linear note is a mis-translation of your thought. So I suddenly realize that my standard notes was ninety percent totally irrelevant to my memory. 'cause my memory didn't work with sentences and no one's memory work with sentences, work with key idea, that's how we remember.
And not only that but they were all in one color, now one color, is the mono-tone of color. And mono and tone equal mono-tone, and a mono-tone is a monotonic - monostonous. And that's what the word means monotonous and if something is monotonous - what words should we use to describe it: BORING.
To help us illustrate the idea to a reporter Sarah when he started to construct the mind map to represent the inverview who is giving.
Studies done on people who take notes in one color, on-line - within three months of graduating - they've had forgotten eighty percent of what they learnt for the degree.
Four years - to forget it all in three months - waste of time, to educate the design in the sixteen hundred, seventeen hundred's especially eighteen and nineteen hundreds for just recording the information and doing without thinking.
And people who learn in the outdated way - your industrial-military way will not be at a function in the twenty-first century.
As impressing as it may seem, Tony Buzan is definitely an optimum, for him, there are no such thing as a nature and nurture arguement - everyone brain has the capacity of a genius.
A lot of people are nurture in the wrong way, their brains are managed in the wrong way, you can actually see on the slides of babies brains. If they have not been nurtured, a perfectly healthy baby, but if they are not nurtured well, the slide are a desert. Little dot, which are the senses of the brain cell - the nucleus - neo-cational-little-trans connecting.
If they have been nurtured , they are like jungles - you know the brain grows and make connections and that's the nurture.
Tony Buzan is the world leading author and top lecturer on the brain and learning, he was written over eighty four book achieve huge success in more than one hundred countries and thiry languages.
Tony Buzan, the inventor of "mind maps" - the thinking tool is described as the Swist Amry knife of the brain.
"Mind maps" is the thinking tool that reflect the externally what go on inside your head.
I found my mind-mapping is really useful because I can get all the bit of information I need in one page.
Mind mapping is really useful because everyone can see that their point of view are recored over and it is listenning to and being recored, and so they have their input and they can see that they had their input.
Because I read it I use a lot of picture in my mind maps.
If I say to you "Apple" - what happens, bump - a picture of apple and association - a mind map is exactly like that - It allows you to see the entire picture - it allows you to see the details - the wood and the tree at the same time.
It is ... a map of your thought.
Computer-based mind mapping it's become a popular way over the last few years - unfortunately, many products of playing to allow you to mind mapping on a computer - none have managed to fully duplicate Tony processes which has been prove so successfully for million of people.
Since I invented mind map, I dream of the day when computer are able to catch up on the human brain, because up to now, they couldn't.
It was too restrict, it was too rigid, it was too dull, it was too colourless, and fundamentally, it couldn't mind maps.
Until now that is, Tony Buzan and the Buzan organization has laughed iMindMap - a software tool that allow you to mind map on the computer - just as you would on paper.
With iMindMap - you can free hand, branches and hand-write text, you can even work without toolbar, icon or menu, it is simple and intuitive to use. Complete freedom of movement of Mind Mapping shows maximum benefit to unleash the full potential of your brain.
What it has done is to allow you, whoever you are, allow you to transfer your thought via the computer onto the screen on to pages, whatever you want.
And the mind map is created by you. It is far more powerful, putent, that is a mind map that was created for you, because when you create it with this program allows you to do, all the processing is done in your head - and the computer now allows that process to be exteralize via a computer - totally revolutionary and I am really happy, really happy.
Once you experience how liberating a feeling it is to create a mind map with I mind map, you will discover there were no limit how it can help you in work, school and at home.
One of the biggest thing is of giving us presentation - the mind mapping really help to take that fear away to make it easier.
I use it for my, my personal goal setting, my bussiness skills, for my strategy, coming up with new idea, working with my team, incredibly powerful tool.
Sometimes doing University works is not always fun and it is hard work, but doing mind mapping, I enjoy doing it.
The human brain, does not think in tool bar, and menu list, it think organicly, all nature form, like the circulation system, like the brances of the tree, like the nervous system - like the vain in the leaf of the tree, that is how the brain thinks, and to think well, it needs a tool that reflect that organic natural nature and that is what the project has been focusing on - and that - is what this project has been achieved.
When I first meet Lee Kuan Yew in nineteen ninety four I was absolutely struck by him, Richard Nixon once compare him to legendary stateman like Disreali, Bismarck and Churchill but Nixon said he occupies a small stage - That stage doesn't looks small anymore.
Lee Yuan Yew took a small split of land in Southest Asia which became independant in nineteen sixty four after great struggle and anguish with no resources and a polyglot population of Chinese, Malaysia and Indian Workers, and turned it into one of the economics centers of the World.
To do this, Lee Kuan Yew have to have smart economic policies but alos a shrewd foreign policty that allied with America, kept China happy, kept Russian and Japan at base. This week I sat down with Lee Kuan Yew in Singapore, his son now serves as prime minister. But Lee Kuan Yew is called "minister mentor" and he is still indisputably "the father of Singapore".
I was struck by the depth of his understanding of the world - China, Russia, the United State - all at age eighty five - listen to this.
[1:11]
Ah, you have achieved remarkable success for Singapore in your lifetime you seem to go from a tiny poor backward third world country to one of the richest countries in the world, but lots of peoples feel that you have been , you have exercise to tigher control but you should have open things up more that that it has been to dominating and coercive state - what do you say to that?
I say: ask my people that would be given the vote, the secret, nobody has ever led any scenery, no bribery, no coercion and no nothing. We have never won less than sixty two-thirds of the pool
- but it is difficult for opposition party to from
It is not the bussiness of the goverment to enable the opposition party to overturn us, right? You expect the Republicans to help the Democrats to overturn them?
No, but but leave aside the even just issue of of political competition, I'd just mean you have laws for example that allow random testing of people for drugs, you have, you know, the famous ban against chewing which is to exercise people's imagination - you you feel you have to let up a little bit?
No, not at all, because of that, we are now a safe, secure, fun city. The nineteen has been transformed in the last ten, fifteen years - any number of nightclubs, the night life, al fresco dining by the riverside and people can even chew gum now, you need to have a ... certificate to buy gum haha for the people who want to give up smoking and got to chew some nicotin.
What is this I am trying to do, I'm trying to create in a third world situtation a first world oasis. I am not following any prescription given mean by any theoritian - democracy or whatever. I work from the first principles what will get me there.
Social peace and stability within the country, no fight between races, between religion whatever - fair share for everybody is a whole moner.
I want investments, out of nothing except skilled manpower infrastructure, I'd built up the infrastructure, I educate the people, we have the best educated work force anywhere in Asia, and I would say within another ten years anywhere in the world. They are all educated in English, which is our working language and they keep their mother tongue with us - Chinese, Malay, Taiwan or India whatever.
Must I follow your prescription to success?
Do I want to be like America?
Yes, in his inventiveness, in his creativeness, but do I want to be with America, like Amercia with its in-ability to control the drug problem - No. The gun problem, no.
These are my choices.
I go by what is a good governance, what are the things that I aim to do: healthy, society, that gives everybody a chance to achieve his maximum.
What do you think of the American Campaign watching it from Singapore?
Ha, what can I see is fascinating, suddenly, Mrcain produces the governor from Alaska and is leading in the polls, she she's a hit. The first flush she was a disaster.
What do you want from the next president?
Engagement with the world, keep trade going, don't backtrack, don't put your self at adavangtage and put the world at a disadvantage and you make conflict more likely, try to maintain a balance so that peace and stability is assured without more conflict.
One thing you have been critical of the United States off in the past has been it's efforts to spread democracy around the world, you were critical of it even Bill Clinton's America leave alone the freedom agenda of George Bush, what do you object to in that push?
No, I don't think it's do-able, I am a social Darwinist, survival of the fittest?
No, the survival requires you to change, if you don't change then you're marginalizing and you will become extinct.
But do you look at the way which the United State has been trying to push Democracy around the world and you said ...
Where have you succeed it? You went to Halti initition building, and I've just, well I was just listening to the BBC on Halti recently, I mean, it's just un-doable
