; Earthquake in Haiti
A massive 7.0-magnitude earthquake has struck the Caribbean nation of Haiti.
The extent of the devastation is still unclear but there are fears thousands of people may have died.
Haiti's worst quake in two centuries hit south of the capital Port-au-Prince on Tuesday, wrecking the presidential palace, UN HQ and other buildings.
A "large number" of UN personnel were reported missing by the organisation. Many people have spent the night outside amid fears of more aftershocks.
The Red Cross says up to three million people have been affected.
Describing the earthquake as a "catastrophe", Haiti's envoy to the US said the cost of the damage could run into billions.
A number of nations, including the US, UK and Venezuela, are gearing up to send aid.
The quake, which struck about 15km (10 miles) south-west of Port-au-Prince, was quickly followed by two strong aftershocks of 5.9 and 5.5 magnitude.
The tremor hit at 1653 (2153 GMT) on Tuesday, the US Geological Survey said. Phone lines to the country failed shortly afterwards.
There is still no official word on casualties and the extent of the devastation is only now becoming clearer with dawn breaking.
China has already indicated in reports in state media that eight of its peacekeepers are buried and feared dead, with another 10 unaccounted for.

Thursday, January 14, 2010 ; What do ducks eat?
For those who want to know what ducks eat, please venture into the url below:What does a duck eat?There are some who think that ducks eat snails. Some of the websites did mention that.Duck eats snailHowever, given the structure of the beak of the duck (round beak), it is unlikely that it will eat snails. It's more for birds with sharper and more pointed beaks.I could be wrong though.RegardsMr Wan

Hi Mr Wan and others,
About the group work for the group's name, I am much frustrated about this matter as Brendon Chin has made me call himfor at least 5 times on Saturday, Jan 09, 2010 about doing the project at either one of our house and he only gave me a reply at the 5th call or so. Yu Rong and Bryana are not able to make it too. And I am the only one doing the project so far. Brendon has gone back to his own ways of not wanting to do his work and I am so frustrated about the matter. Mr Wan, I am telling this to you because I need advice on how to control Brendon and how the rest of the group members can make time for projects as most of them have tuition or other things and they cannot make it. please give me advice on the comments column.
