Brushing usually takes place as part of the manufacturing process, the surface of the planks are roller brushed to remove some of the softer growth rings from the grain. Depending on the level of brushing, this gives a textured surface that gently highlights the natural grain structure.
Distressing is typically achieved by hand or by tumbling the planks in large tanks, giving a used and random appearance. Another distressing method includes machines that scrape and punch the planks as they go through a conveyor belt system although this method will usually show a repeating pattern of distresses which may look unnatural.
Ammonia fuming is a traditional process for darkening and enriching the colour of oak by oxidation. The physical change in appearance is subject to the tannin and other natural content held within the structure of the timber and its interaction with the treatment. It forms an envelope around the surface of the board and depth of penetration will vary subject to the timber structure and exposure, however the outward appearance of the edges could suggest the boards are treated to the core.
Band-sawing usually takes place as part of the manufacturing process, the surface of the planks are notched to create a rough and uneven surface, mimicking the traditional hand-saws used in the pre mechanical era. Machining impressions going across the board will be visible in all areas.
Before modern machinery has taken over, floors were hand scraped on-site to make sure they were flat and smooth. In practice although this method removed the rough grain, it left the floor feel somewhat wavy and uneven. Nowadays the hand-scraping effect is created with special machines.
In thermo-treating, the boards are heated to a high temperature which causes the colour to darken. This method of darkening wood is environmentally friendly as there are no chemicals used during this process, simply heat and steam. The process brings out and accentuates the best grain characteristics of the flooring, and unlike a stain, thermo-treatment changes the colour, creating a deep rich hue running through the entire core of the wood.

Here at Rishi we believe that good Indian food is not just a concoction of spices and meat, thrown together without care or thought. That is not how food is prepared at home and that is not how it is prepared here at Rishi.
We work with quality ingredients, sourced locally where possible, which contain no artificial flavouring. We bring meat, vegetables and spices together to create dishes full of flavour and aroma. No step is too small to achieve the quality we aspire to, for example our mince is produced on site to enable us to make sure that only lean meat is used.
Britain has over 12,000 Indian restaurants, many are owned by people who hail from a tiny district in the North East of Bangladesh called Sylhet which sits on the Indian border close to Assam and Tripura. In fact, Sylhet was originally a part of the state of Assam. Amongst other things, Sylhet is well known for its tea gardens and tropical forests. The area combines high mountains to the East with Asia's largest marshland to the West. The marshland, called Hakaluki Haor is a world heritage site and contains a huge range of fish. The area also provides sweet water fish and Satkara (a citrus fruit) from the plains together with meat dishes from the mountains. The dishes on our menu reflect the range and beauty of the landscapes of this area.

Fun fact! I attend a writing group that meets once a month. Monthly deadlines are a useful weapon in combating sloth-like tendencies. It's a rather ragamuffin group of experienced writers and amateurs, men and women, poets and prose writers. An odd mix, perhaps, but I find that mix provides interesting feedback.
I'm currently working on a story (book? novel?) that is proving to be MUCH longer than originally anticipated. Or perhaps more accurately — it's taking me much longer to write than anticipated. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, but it is somewhat maddening when you're in the middle of it, slouching towards Bethlehem.
Overall, I'm pretty shy about my writing — which translates to never letting people read it. Which, you know, doesn't work if you're a writer. Being in a writing group helps me get over that hangup since, you know, the whole point is to have other people read your work.
This means that my group has read my current work-in-progress, section by section, over the past…ugh, almost two years. I'm embarrassed to admit it's been that long. They've been along on the journey, seen the plot develop, the characters come into their own. They're seeing the guts of the beast, as it were.
The idea being that you need to get through the entire first draft — the initial creative process — without any input or adulteration from the outside world.
There's merit there. I'm normally a fan of the "closed door" policy. You can let out the crazy and let that freak flag fly. In fact, this is the first book that I've allowed people to read as it's being written.
And the result of my "open door" policy? Too early to tell. I can see how it would be distracting for some — if your story doesn't have firm footing, having other writers chime in could probably sway your original intent. But it is useful to have someone point out a sticky plot point early on, the various inconsistencies that come with any first draft. I feel like I'm able to correct some things earlier on in the game. I guess the only way I'll know for sure if this "open door" policy has worked out is after the whole damn thing is written.
Fellow writers — and, hey, other creative types, too, as I'm sure this applies — what's your policy? Do you like that door open or shut? Do you think outsiders can derail the creative process, or is it guided by some internal source that can't be swayed?
Next Post Unleash the Introverts!
I'm a closed door during the draft phase. That way you don't get caught up in revising and structure. Just blasting it out and getting it finished. I do throw ideas I'm having out there to other people to see if they have view points concerning my story that I haven't thought of. But in the end, it's whatever works the best for you.
That's a good point about revising–it's very difficult NOT to revise during that first draft, especially when other people are catching typos and whatnot. At this point, I'm trying to collect all feedback that isn't immediately applicable and organize it in a file folder. That way when it DOES come time to revise, it's there and ready. And I don't get caught up in the revising game.
Samesies. I'm shy about my writing. And I revise as I go. Womp womp.

Preview and Prediction: FC Seoul vs. Pohang Steelers
Unknown May 06, 2016 read ( words)
(Is Choi Yong-soo in agony or ecstacy? From The AFC Hub)
In what seems like ages, I finally get to watch an FC Seoul home game. Their opponent, Pohang Steelers, are a traditional powerhouse that have fallen on hard times as of late. This is the team that their manager Choi Yong-soo has struggled against the most, so now is probably the most opportune time for him and Seoul to get a result.
Choi Yong-soo: A Bleak History
Here is Choi Yong-soo's record in knockout competitions against Pohang.
GF (avg.)
GA (avg.)

* In 2014, Seoul and Pohang played two legs in AFC Champions League (ACL). Both games finished 0-0, but Seoul won on penalties.
$ In 2014, Seoul and Pohang played an FA Cup. The game finished 2-2, but Seoul won on penalties.
Even though two of his wins were via PKs, that is a good record in knockout competitions. Lucky, but still pretty damn good. When we look at how he has done in the league against Pohang, that is when things start to turn dark. Here is Choi Yong-soo's record against Pohang in the K-League.
W (%)
D (%)
L (%)
Pts. (avg.)
Jesus, that is awful. It is mesmerizing in its woefulness. Seoul average less than a goal a game and collect just over a point a game. They are as likely to lose as they are to win or draw. I am quite sure that in his sleep Choi sees figures clad in red and black hoops running over him in a victory celebration for the umpteenth time. For whatever reason, Choi has not had much success against Pohang in the league recently.
I remember the last time I saw Seoul beat Pohang in person. It was league game at home on a wonderful autumn day in 2012. Seoul won that game 3-2 as, after going down a goal, they responded with three. My wife came to the game, we took a picture, and it is still on the fridge. Every time I go to get a drink or a condiment, I see the picture and I reminded of how it was a great day out.
I remember the last draw at home as well. It was the season opener in 2013. Dejan scored a header and Seoul conceded right away. Escudero put Seoul up by a goal in the second half but Pohang hit a shot outside the box with less than 10 minutes left to equalize. Still, even though Seoul did not win, I really enjoyed the game. Little did I know that would be the last time I left a Seoul-Pohang contest not feeling unhappy.
Since then, I have seen Seoul lose 1-0 as Kim Seung-dae scored (2014) and 3-1 (2015) at home. Even on the road, Seoul usually struggle to get a result against Pohang. Last year, they lost all three league games to the Steelers. Their record in the league since winning that game in 2012 is two wins, four draws, and seven losses.
However, this year's Pohang team is a different entity. Before listing the changes, let's look at their previous history.
(Back in happy days- league winners in 2013. From Iran Taahmisheh)
Pohang Steelers: A Brief History
In my opinion, they have been the second best team in the last five years. Here is how they have finished in the league from 2011 to 2015.
Pts (avg.)
4th#
# Did not qualify for the AFC Champions League.
In the last five years, they won the K-League once and qualified for the ACL every year but once. That year, in 2014, the team fell apart in their last 12 games, only winning once, drawing five times, and losing six times. If their form had not went to shit so drastically, they probably would have qualified for the ACL that year as well. Nonetheless, I believe that their success is noteworthy for two reasons.
First, they have never had a bulk scorer. In the last five years, the player who has scored the most goals for them in a season is Motta in 2011 with 13 goals. In 2013 (Cho Chan-ho) and 2015 (Son Joon-ho), the team's leading scorer only had 9 goals and in 2014 Kim Seung-dae finished with 10. Generally, for a team to win they need to have a player in the top three for goals scored, but Pohang have not had that. That is why I would say their title win in 2013 stands out.
Second, money spent usually equates success in the K-League. Jeonbuk, Suwon, and Seoul typically tend to be big spenders and in turn, have been successful. Yet, from what I have read, their sponsor POSCO are not doing as well financially and Pohang have not been top spenders. Still, they have excelled and even overachieved. Here is a look at their spending last in 2015.
The Money League
League Table (Pre-split) Money League
Wages (approx.)
(KRW in billions)
Seongnam
Jeju Utd.
Table from Jae Hyeok-lee's article Money, Money, Money! (Update 2.0)
Pohang were in 3rd before the split last year and finished in 3rd at the end of the year, but fifth in spending. As I have said before, money usually equates success and Jeonbuk demonstrate this by outspending the competition by far more and winning the league. Pohang on the other hand, were the fifth biggest spenders, but overachieved and finished in 3rd. Jeju United and Jeonnam had similar budgets as well, and either finished where they were expected to or underachieved.
(Coach Hwang Sun-hong when he played for Korea, from youtube.com)
Pohang Steelers: 2016
Last year's winter was not kind to Pohang. Their long time coach and legend Hwang Sun-hong stepped down at the end of the season to presumably walk the earth like Kane in Kung-fu. When it came to match-ups against teams in the top of the table, Hwang had the best record. Hwang has been replaced by Choi Jin-cheul, who previously coached Korea's U-17 national team. A drop-off was expected, but it has not been all Choi's fault. Much of the blame can also be placed at what happened in a brutal transfer window.
The 49 goals that the Pohang scored last year were a true team effort. Fourteen individuals scored at least one goal in the league for Pohang, but there were only seven players who scored 3 or more goals. Of those seven, five have departed and their leading scorer suffered a horrific injury and is out for the season. Here is a listing of the players, their goals last year, and their status:
Son Joon-ho scored 9 goals, but tore his ACL in mid-April and will not return this season.
Kim Seung-dae scored 8 goals and transferred to Yanbian Funde FC, a team in the Chinese Super League.
Ko Mu-yeol scored 6 goals and moved to Jeonbuk.
Tiago scored 4 goals and transferred to Seongnam. He is tied with Adriano for the league lead in goals scored, helping Seongnam to sit in 3rd place right now.
Shin Jin-ho scored 3 goals and, along with Cho Chan-ho, transferred to FC Seoul. He has since departed to Sangju Sangmu to serve out his military commitment.
Park Sung-ho scored 3 goals and transferred to Ulsan.
Those five players were responsible for 49% of the team's output last year. Add in the loss of Son Joon-ho and that figure increases to 67%. In other words, the team lost 2/3 of their players who were responsible for last year's third place finish, which is a crippling blow that few could recover from.
Replacing them were Yang Dong-hyun (Ulsan) and Cho Su-chul (Incheon). Yang has probably been one of their better players for them this year, scoring 3 or their 8 league goals. Cho Su-chul, on the other hand, has yet to feature for the team outside of playing 9 minutes against Hanoi T&T (is he injured?).
Their season started with a bit of promise. Opening on the road against ACL champions Guangzhou Evergrande, Pohang earned a credible draw and beat the Urawa Reds at home. They drew at home against Gwanju and loss to Sydney, but beat Incheon the next week. Since then, Pohang have drawn two games and lost five and I think this explains why the team sits in 9th place in the league, but dead last in the Power Rankings, currently. They are out of the ACL and not likely to finish in the top six, let alone challenge for an ACL spot or the championship.

(With this PK, Adriano has 10 goals in the ACL. He is 3 away from tying Muriqi for the most goals in a tournament. Hopefully playing a full 90 in a meaningless game won't come back to bite Seoul in the ass. From The AFC HUB.)
After eight games, Seoul sit atop the table in first place. They have scored the most, conceded the fewest, and have been the most consistent team in the K-League this year. Some might argue that they have been the beneficiary of easy scheduling and luck, which has a bit of truth, but I would still argue that they have been the best team in the league so far. Seoul have also dominated their group in the ACL and until Wednesday night, had not lost a game and are deserving of their status as one of the top teams in that competition.
Unfortunately, this last week has not been too kind to Seoul. They drew against Suwon Bluewings on the road, which is not a bad result all things considered, but it came about in rather contentious circumstances. From my perspective (the Seoul perspective), referee Kim Sang-woo favored Suwon in most calls and I do not think either fan base was particularly pleased at how he called the game.
Both teams came away disappointed from the game, feeling as though they should have won it. I know that I think Seoul, based on the number of chances, many of quality, should have. Even though Suwon defended well, the Seoul players rushed many of their shots, sending them over the bar or straight at the keeper and had to be bailed out by the brilliance of Adriano.
(Yoo Hyun is unable to prevent Yoo Hyuntastrophy. From THE AFC HUB.)
On Wednesday, Seoul traveled to Japan to play a meaningless game against Sanfrecce Hiroshima. Seoul lost 2-1 as Hiroshima scored twice in the first half before Seoul almost stole a point at the end. Hiroshima's first goal was another Yoo Hyuntastrophy as Seoul's keeper was beaten at the near post when Takuma Asano redirected Kohei Shimizu's free-kick. Whoever was doing the marking was probably at fault as well, but the comical nature of the goal and the fact that he got a hand on it makes it look as though it is another Yoo clanger.
After his debacle against Ulsan two weeks ago, when he was pulled at the end of the first half, this latest contest could not do much to restore his confidence. Signed in the off season and expected to be Seoul's number one keeper, I cannot see him dislodging Yu Sang-hun any time soon. I feel bad for him because I am sure he has the pallor and demeanor of a dead man walking.
The second goal was not Yoo's fault as Yusuke Minagawa got on the end of another Shimizu cross to score a bullet header into the top of the net. From watching the highlights, it looked as though Hiroshima could have scored a couple of more goal as Seoul's second string defense was cut to ribbons. After this display, Kim Dong-woo, Kim Won-sik, and Osmar will have no worries that their spots are in danger. However, it is unfair to criticize Seoul's back line in this game too much since they have not featured nor played that formation at all this year.
Seoul got a goal back at the end of the game as Yun Ju-tae was fouled and Adriano duly dispatched the PK. From there, it seemed like Seoul secured an unlikely draw as they equalized, but the goal was disallowed because the linesman deemed a Seoul player offside. From watching the replay, Seoul got screwed by the referees again since whomever equalized was onside and Adriano had his shirt tugged as he went to knock in the rebound. Oh well, the group is over and I wish Hiroshima well in their J1 League campaign.
Some questions persist though. Why did Adriano play the full 90 minutes? From what Miroslav Tramita said, it was because he is chasing the goal scoring record. Fair enough, but hopefully this does not come back to bite Seoul in the ass later on. Choi should have sat him or pulled him after the first 45/60 minutes.
Also, what has Yun Ju-tae done to get in Choi's dog house? Did he miss curfew, have inappropriate contact with one of Choi's loved ones, not pour a drink with two hands? Why can't Yun see the pitch this year, especially in a meaningless game?
Formation and Lineup Prediction
Guessing the formation is easy, since Choi Yong-soo almost never deviates from beloved 3-5-2/5-3-2 formation. Predicting who will play on the other hand, will be a bit trickier. Everyone, with the exception of record chasing Adriano and Park Yong-woo (2nd half sub), stayed in Seoul and should feature. Here is who I think will start.
Of course, Dejan might not start. He came off after the first 45 minutes in the Super Match, so he might have picked up a knock, but I have not seen anything on Twitter indicating it was serious, so I expect to see him on the field on Sunday. It would not surprise me at all if Adriano started, but I think Choi will bring him on if he needs speed to unlock Pohang's back three/five. Finally, Lee Seok-hyun, who I prefer to Park Yong-woo, ran a full 90 on Wednesday night so I expect him to sit and Park Yong-woo to fill the DM spot that he has manned for Seoul's last two league games.
(Sun Joon-ho: Pohang have struggled even more since his injury. From kleagueunited.com)
Very rarely do I get these right, so before guessing the result, I will try and explain why I think the game will go the way that it will. As I have mention above, Pohang used to be a K-League powerhouse that played attractive football. They had one of the better midfields in the league and always killed Seoul. Last year, they also had the best defense.
This year, circumstances have not been so kind to Pohang. They lost the bulk of their team from last year's third place finish and their best player is out for the season. Their defense seems much more shaky as well and if it was not for the heroics of keeper Shin Hwa-yong, Pohang would probably have conceded more than nine goals so far.
However, looking at the results of the season via soccerway.com and kleague.com, it seems to be that Pohang have an ability to grind out results against good teams. They have drawn against Guangzhou Evergrande, Urawa Reds, and the Suwon Bluewings on the road. They have gotten a draw at home against Jeonbuk and beat Jeju United at home. Nonetheless, I have watched some of the highlights on YouTube of their games and I can say that in sum, Pohang are not a very good team.
They seem to struggle to create chances to shoot and the defense is shaky as well. Much of this is probably down to the loss of Son Joon-ho, but even before he went down, Pohang had the stink of a poor team. The manager has tried to do something about this by switching formations.
Against Sangju, the team played in their traditional 4-2-3-1 formation (kleague.com) that Hwang Sun-hong liked to use. In that game, they had 57% of the ball and had 10 shots on goal, but only 2 were on target. Sangju ripped them apart on the counter, creating 16 shots with 9 on target, and if their keeper Shin had not saved a penalty, the score would have been worse than 2-0. In their next game, they lined up in a 4-4-2 formation (soccerway.com) against Guangzhou Evergrande and switched to a 4-1-4-1 (kleague.com) versus Jeonnam two weeks ago. Here were the results.
Shots/On goal
In both of those games, Pohang had less of the ball and were out shot by their opponent. They were especially poor against an awful Jeonnam side as defender Kim Dong-hyun received a red card and Orsic scored a wonder goal. Since none of those formations with a back four created a lot of opportunities or results, and with losses in all three games, Choi has switched to a 3-4-3/5-4-1 (kleague.com/soccerway.com) formation to stop the rot. Again, here were the results.
Statistically, it is about the same. They had a less possession, but created a few more attempts than the two games prior. Based on the results, this has worked as Pohang beat Jeju last weekend and got an unexpected draw on the road against the Urawa Reds. However, I think much of this was down to luck and on another day they would have lost.
Jeju United, like most K-League teams, are neither good nor terrible. They get up and down the field, shoot a lot, but nothing much seems to come of it. In their game against Pohang, Jeju outshot the Steelers, but Shin Hwa-yong was not required to make any wonder saves. Still, they dominated the game and it seems cruel for Jeju to lose.
I really expected the Urawa Reds to kick the shit out of Pohang. For Urawa, it was a chance to win their group and avoid playing FC Seoul. Instead, they drew to a second tier Steelers side who fielded their B team. Watching the highlights, I am not sure why Pohang won a PK though. It appears as though Pohang defender Kim Won-il has Daisuke Nasu in a headlock and is going to knee him to the face Double Dragon style. Instead, he kicks his own player Park Jun-hee in the face. What was the ref calling? I would really like to know.
So, after a rather lengthy explanation of how dire, lucky, and unlucky Pohang have been, it is time to make a prediction. Before doing so, here are the averages of Pohang and their last four opponents.
Shots (avg.)/On Goal (avg.)
Based on this, I cannot see Seoul losing this game. Even with Pohang's propensity to grind out results against good clubs, Seoul have too much talent and they are playing at home. Seoul have been nothing short of dominant at Sangnam Stadium this year and this trend should continue. This game will not the be cakewalks that Sangju, Incheon, and Suwon FC were, but I think Seoul will win by at least two goals, especially if they score early.
Final Score: FC Seoul 3-1 Pohang Steelers

Just found out that Osmar has 3 yellows, he won't be playing this game. Wrong again.

2021 Changes to the PSLE Scoring & S1 Posting
From 2021 onwards, the PSLE will be scored with wider bands and the scores will reflect the student's individual performance and not his performance relative to his peers. What do the changes mean for you and your child?
WIDER SCORING BANDS TO REDUCE FINE DIFFERENTIATION
The T-score will be replaced by wider scoring bands.
Each subject will be scored using 8 bands known as Achievement Levels (AL), with AL1 being the best score and AL8 being the lowest score. The ALs reflect the student's level of achievement in the subject.
The student's total PSLE Score will be the sum of the four subject scores.
The PSLE Score will range from 4 (best) to 32. There are 29 possible PSLE Scores, compared to around 200 different T-scores today. This will reduce excessively fine differentiation of students at a young age.
SCORES TO REFLECT STUDENT'S OWN PERFORMANCE
Once a student shows a level of achievement that meets the learning objectives of the curriculum expected at a certain AL, he will receive the AL regardless of how his peers perform. The emphasis is on how well the student has learnt, and not how well he has done compared to others.
We want our children to focus on their own learning instead of trying to outdo others.
STREAMING CRITERIA
Students will continue to be assigned to Express, Normal (Academic) and Normal (Technical) courses. This enables us to better customise our teaching to support the needs of the children, so they can learn at a pace comfortable to them and make good progress.
S1 Posting will continue to be based on academic merit first, but choice order of schools will also matter more under the new system. We encourage parents and students to consider factors beyond cut-off points, and make choices based on whether a school's culture, ethos and programmes are a good fit for the child's interests and strengths.
WHAT DOES THE NEW SYSTEM LOOK LIKE?
Posting will continue to be based on academic merit, using the PSLE Score.
Your child will submit a list of 6 schools in order of preference. If two students with the same score are being considered for the last place in a school, the following tie-breakers will be used:
(priority given to Singapore Citizens, then Singapore Permanent Residents, then International Students)
Choice order of schools (NEW)
(priority given to the student who indicates a certain school as a higher choice)
Computerised balloting
CHOICE ORDER OF SCHOOLS TO MATTER MORE
Choice order as a tie-breaker is designed to recognise the different considerations that families have when choosing secondary schools, for example the school's ethos, culture, programmes and CCAs, as well as distance between the school and home.
USE OF HCL FOR ADMISSION INTO SAP SCHOOL
When applying to SAP schools, HCL students will continue to receive an advantage.
Although HCL results do not count towards the PSLE Score, if students with the same PSLE Score are vying for limited places in the same SAP school, those with better HCL grades will be allocated a place ahead of other students. This applies before the tie-breakers for S1 posting.
Let's look at an example. There are 6 students competing for the last 2 places in a SAP school. They have been arranged in descending order of posting priority. The student who has a PSLE Score of 7 will gain admission to the SAP school. Then, out of the students with a PSLE Score of 8, the student with a distinction for HCL will be admitted into the SAP school next, ahead of the other students who also scored 8 but had poorer or no HCL score. The advantage that HCL students will obtain under the new system is similar to that under the current system.
HOW SHOULD YOU CHOOSE A SECONDARY SCHOOL?
We encourage parents to discuss with their children when choosing secondary schools. When selecting schools, students and parents should look at the child's fit with the school.
Some areas that parents may want to consider include:
Suitability of the school's learning environment to the child's learning need and interests
Programmes and CCAs that will develop the child's unique strengths and interests
School culture and ethos
Distance between school and home
More information on secondary schools can be found on the School Information Service, the respective school websites and in the Secondary One Posting booklet given to students in Primary 6.
Secondary schools also hold open houses where students and parents can learn more about the school's programmes, and speak with teachers and students.
To help parents choose schools of the appropriate academic profile in the first year under the new system, MOE will be providing simulated ranges of cut-off points of secondary schools. However, the actual cut-off points may differ, depending on how students and parents actually exercise their choices that year.
However, we encourage parents to look beyond cut-off points and to also consider a school's unique programmes that will enable your children to build on the strengths and interests.
