Err...closures and continations? =)

But seriously, continations can be useful in some situations;
although, most of the time you can get away without them. Take for
instance generators. You can create them using continuations, but
they can also be implemented using closures and, if I'm not mistaken,
threads as well.

I believe the standard generator library is implemented using
continations if anyone is looking for an example in ruby. There is
also plenty of good stuff if you look on any site on scheme.

We have 3 main-charity shows in a year - NKF Charity, Thye Hua Kwan
Charity, and the last one, - the upcoming President Charity.

Everyone that acted in the previous show are also acting in the next
charity. The public is also getting sick and tired with the
rudimentiment of the yearly shows that spreaded equally in 3 months
each.

I think instead of spending so much repeat of the shows that also
costs a few million to organsie and conduct them, there should perhpas
be a casino gambling show that an be held in the 2 casinos in which
tycoon gamblers are invited to gamble with 10 milllion in step to 100
to 200 milllion, etc.

By this way the donation from charity shows will be more and much
faster.

The truth is these tycoon have probably donated hundred thousands of dollars
to NKF Charity, Thye Hua Kwan
Charity, and President Charity at behest of their wives and children but
they often do feel shiok about it.

However, in the casino, it is quite different. It shows these tycoons don't
mind losing millions, as long as they are happy doing it and do not leave
the casino with a bad taste in their mouth.

They probably think it is better to lose money to the casino and benefit
thousands of poor Singaporean than buying a new car for themselves.
