Silent Witnesses, Loud Inferences: The Law On Adverse Inference
In the realm of legal proceedings, understanding the nuances of evidentiary rules and their implications is paramount. One such concept is that of adverse inference. This article delves into the intricacies of adverse inference within the context of Singapore's legal landscape, examining its significance, application, and ramifications in commercial litigation. Adverse inference is a legal principle wherein a court draws a negative inference from the absence or withholding of evidence by a party.
Temporal Variations of Earthquake Magnitude‐Frequency Relation in the Source Area of M ≥ 6.0 Earthquakes: A Systematic Survey in Taiwan
1 Introduction Earthquake magnitude-frequency relation in global seismogenic crust typically follows the Gutenberg-Richter Law: log10 N = a – bM (Gutenberg & Richter, 1944), where the b-value represents the frequency of small to large earthquakes empirically shown as 1.0 (e.g., Petruccelli et al., 2019; Schorlemmer et al., 2005).

Shear Strain-Induced Two-Dimensional Slip Avalanches in Rhombohedral MoS2
Slip avalanches are ubiquitous phenomena occurring in three-dimensional materials under shear strain, and their study contributes immensely to our understanding of plastic deformation, fragmentation, and earthquakes. So far, little is known about the role of shear strain in two-dimensional (2D) materials. Here we show some evidence of 2D slip avalanches in exfoliated rhombohedral MoS2, triggered by shear strain near the threshold level.

An abnormal normal
The idea of returning to normal has never felt so abnormal. Delta. Comirnaty. Tridemic. Bivalent. Masking. These were just some of the words featured in my daily word search throughout the day. Constant Spotify ads, fading street billboards, flickering TTC next arrival screens, peer chatter and my daily news feed, I’m sure I’ll find them all. When prompted to share my learning experiences around COVID-19, a variety of topics came to mind. We’ll start with routine.
Do Chinese Worship Songs Sound Too Much Like Pop Hits?
When Chinese Christians around the world worship God through music, chances are they’re singing a translated Western hymn or a hit by established worship music creators Stream of Praise (赞美之泉), Heavenly Melody (天韵合唱团), or Clay Music (泥土音乐). One group of collaborators is interested in adding something that better reflects the tastes of young people.
Passing seasons - Healthy Debate
“Welcome to Winona Drive Senior Public School.” New teachers, new friends and a new chapter. After all, it was middle school. So much to learn and see, just where do I start? But it came at a cost, I felt lost. What if I don’t fit in? Where is the closest unlocked washroom? Did I bring my pencil case? The daunting once-distant thought became a reality. Rows and rows of rusty lockers awaiting a new tenant.

Things I’ve lost at Stanford
I used to mourn my chronic failure to keep track of my possessions, and then I realized the comic relief I could conjure by itemizing these lost (and sometimes later found) belongings in article format. After all, why write if you aren’t going to sprinkle some self-deprecation and semi-cohesive morals into the mix?
On the floor: A ‘Second Act’ event with JLo
Jennifer Lopez — yup, as in “JLo” — was on campus on Jan. 11. One of the doyennes of singer-actresses in modern-day Hollywood, Lopez is famous for her role in movies like “Selena” and “Maid in Manhattan” and such hit songs as “On the Floor” that had us all going wild at middle school dances. During the first week of classes, Lopez graced us with her presence in none other than Memorial Auditorium.
Swastika found on piano lid in Bing Concert Hall
The Stanford Department of Public Safety (SUDPS) is conducting a hate crimes investigation regarding a swastika etched into the lid of a piano in Bing Concert Hall. The dinner plate-sized etching – inaccurately drawn, but closely resembling a swastika and accompanied by the misspelled word “Natzis” – was discovered on Tuesday by a Bing staff member when taking the piano out of a locked storage area and uncovering it for an upcoming concert. Officials believe the swastika was drawn after a Nov.

Composers capture the spirit of ‘Gaieties 2018’
When you see “Gaieties” posters strewn about the campus or see zealous cast members crash dorm house meetings in animal onesies, you may not realize that Stanford students write all the music for the show. But for Ayoade Balogun (‘21), composer, and Lexi Kupperman (‘21), lyricist, “Gaieties 2018: Jane Stanford and the Chamber of Secrets” is an opportunity to share their joint passions for music, theater and comedy with the Stanford community.
Meade, Segerman, and Mitton marvel at the magical mind
At “A Celebration of Mind: Mathematics, Art and Magic” on October 20, artist Alexa Meade, mathematician Henry Segerman and magician Mark Mitton came together to discuss the magic behind unrestrained fun and play. Meade has a “Funhouse House” full of rainbow stairs, mirrored walls, hanging neon spandex and doors hidden behind cabinets. Meade takes silliness seriously — in her bathroom, you can find a sales tax license that permits her to buy and sell items from a medicine cabinet.
On being mixed
It’s Lunar New Year, and the sun has just set over the terracotta roofs on the horizon. With dusk comes a cool, cleansing breeze into the sprawling neighborhoods of Santa Clara and through the screen door of my grandparents’ home. Here, in the city of my birth, the immigration site of my ancestors, my family celebrates the New Year with bright red envelopes and good-natured gambling, handing out lì xì and playing Bầu Cua Tôm Cá. The scent of freshly made phở wafts through the home.

On Friday, Siwon Choi — a member of Korean boy band Super Junior — and SM Entertainment USA director and music producer Dominique Rodriguez spoke about the global reach of Korean pop music (K-pop) in a panel exploring the modern role of K-pop stars and the K-pop industry.
Underestimating my need for help and the help I’d receive
I have always thought that asking for help was not a positive thing to do. Surely, I didn’t think it was a negative thing to do — it is good to request support when you need it — but it wasn’t a positive thing, either. As an individual with a physical disability, I require help with nearly all physical activities of daily living. Perhaps because of this, I viewed asking for help as putting a slight burden on someone else, as a sign of my lack of independence.
Von Sternberg creates a land of light and shadow in ‘Shanghai Express’
“Shanghai Express” was initially released in 1932, and in its opening credits, it shows its age. The title is displayed as a man hits a large gong. Other credits are superimposed on images of lotus blossoms. The text itself resembles the font used on Chinese restaurant menus. Then, the film proper begins. A train is about to depart from Peking, bound for Shanghai. A plethora of peculiar passengers arrives. All are deceitful in some sense.
Conflicting reports call allegations against SLS Professor John Donohue into question
Following The Fountain Hopper’s publication of unverified claims that Stanford Law Professor John Donohue used racial slurs during an altercation with a recreational basketball player at the Arrillaga Outdoor Education and Recreation Center (AOERC), statements by Donohue and three witnesses — two of whom are Donohue’s sons — cast doubt on some of the allegations.

Acute Psychosis Following the Use of Topical Ciprofloxacin
Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride is a fluoroquinolone antimicrobial frequently used in both ophthalmic and general medical practice. Whereas adverse effects of this drug are not uncommon following its systemic use, they are uncommon following its topical use. We present the case of a young woman who developed an acute psychotic reaction following the use of ciprofloxacin eyedrops. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of such a complication following topical ciprofloxacin use.
