Religious Club Closures in Schools Touch Nerve in Malaysia
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, August 11 (CDN) — More closures of non-Muslim religious clubs in Malaysian schools, including Christian fellowships, have surfaced since the first incident was reported on July 12.
Loh Seng Kok, central committee member of the Malaysian Chinese Association, said at a July 23 press conference that the situation was "getting worse" and that the initial incident at Klang High School was not an "isolated issue."
Loh based his assessment on complaints received by various religious society representatives. Present with Loh at the press conference were Vice-President of the Young Buddhist Association of Malaysia Loh Yit Phing, President of the Subang Jaya Buddhist Association Chim Siew Choon and Executive Secretary of the Christian Federation of Malaysia Tan Kong Beng.
The Malaysian Insider online news agency reported that Chin Fook Khiang, a parent, disclosed that the Buddhist Society and Christian Fellowship in SMK SS17 in Subang Jaya, Selangor were ordered to stop activities in January 2009 – and that it was the second time the clubs were ordered to close by education authorities since 2005.
The religious clubs were closed even though they had been in operation since before 2000, excluding them from the need for official approval. According to Circular Bill 20/2000, non-Muslim religious clubs formed after education authorities issued the circular in 2000 must obtain their approval before they are allowed. Clubs that existed before the circular was issued do not require approval.
Malaysiakini news agency on July 23 cited an unnamed retired teacher who described the situation as "very serious," to the extent that some teachers had been transferred because they were active in Christian fellowship activities in their schools.
Loh called for a fairer treatment of non-Muslim associations in the co-curricular activities listed in the co-curriculum management guidelines issued to schools. The guidelines only allow for Islamic religious societies to operate unconditionally without requiring prior approval from the education authorities.
Several political leaders, including veteran opposition leader Lim Kit Siang, have called on authorities to revoke outdated directives and circulars that contravene the Federal Constitution, which guarantees freedom of religion.
Public Outcry
Reports of non-Muslim religious club closures first surfaced when The Sun reported on July 12 that three non-Muslim religious student groups, including the Christian Union at Klang High School, were ordered closed by the Selangor education department last month.
Following the report, the Rev. Dr. Thomas Philips, president of the Malaysian Consultative Council for Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Sikhism and Taoism (MCCBCHST), issued a strongly worded statement seeking "immediate confirmation" and "prompt explanation" from authorities.
"Needless to say," Phillips added, "if indeed there had been such a directive to close non-Muslim religious societies in schools or to not permit the setting up of such societies in schools, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of National Unity should not be in doubt that MCCBCHST shall protest such a policy with the strongest possible vehemence."
Following public outcry over the closure, Alimuddin Dom, director-general of education, reportedly said that the directive was a "misunderstanding" by the Selangor Education Department and ordered a reinstatement of the affected religious clubs.
Malaysia's population is about 60 percent Muslim, 19 percent Buddhist and 9 percent Christian. About 6 percent are Hindu, with 2.6 percent of the population adhering to Confucianism, Taoism and other traditional Chinese religions.
Church Attack Trial
Reports of the religious club closures came amid the trial of three men who have been charged with arson in the attack on Metro Tabernacle church's building earlier this year.
Brothers Raja Muhammad Faizal Raja Ibrahim and Raja Muhammad Idzham Raja Ibrahim, along with their friend Azuwan Shah Ahmad, were charged with committing mischief by torching the church building at 11:50 p.m. on Jan. 7. Since the trial started on July 6, however, the court has acquitted Azuwan due to lack of evidence.
Both brothers deny burning the church building, though they admit to witnessing the incident. They claim they left the scene of the burning to attend a barbeque at a friend's house. Raja Muhammad Faizal claims he sustained burns from starting a fire at the barbeque, while his brother Raja Muhammad Idzham says he was injured in the course of helping his brother take off his flaming shirt on the occasion.
The trial is ongoing.
Metro Tabernacle Church was among several churches that came under attack in January following a controversial court ruling that allowed the Herald, a Catholic weekly, to use the word "Allah" in the multilingual publication. The Herald had challenged the ban imposed by the Home Ministry.
The court decision angered some Muslims in the country who claim the term is exclusive to Islam.
Following the high court decision, the Home Ministry filed an appeal in February and won a stay, preventing the weekly from using the word until the case was addressed in the court of appeal. To date there has been no indication when the case will be heard.
On Aug. 1, Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein was widely reported as saying his predecessor, Syed Hamid Albar, should not have banned the word "Allah" from being used by the Roman Catholic Church, and that the decision will continue to haunt his ministry for a very long time.

Death Toll of Christians 48 in Jos, Nigeria Clash
Outbreak of violence in Plateau state results in burning of 10 church buildings.
LAGOS, Nigeria, January 27 (CDN) — Two pastors and 46 other Christians have been confirmed killed in the outbreak of violence 10 days ago in Jos, Plateau state in Nigeria, according to the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).
In the religious clash, triggered when Muslim youths on Jan. 17 attacked a Catholic church, 10 church buildings were burned and 27 Christians are still missing, CAN officials said at a press conference in Jos today. Police estimate over 300 lives were lost in the clash.
The Plateau state CAN chairman, the Most Rev. Ignatius Kaigama, said the CAN Directorate of Research has carefully investigated the clash "without any sentiment and come out with a factual account."
Kaigama said flashpoint areas where clashes have repeatedly occurred should be identified and security personnel deployed.
Police said violence was triggered by an unprovoked attack by Muslim youths on worshippers at the St. Michael's Catholic Church in Nasarawa Gwong, in the Jos North Local Government Area. Burned buildings included the Christ Apostolic Church, Assemblies of God Church, three branches of the Church of Christ in Nigeria and two buildings of the Evangelical Church of West Africa (ECWA), Christian leaders said.
The ECWA on Saturday (Jan. 23) reported that some of its members were missing and appealed to security agencies to help locate their whereabouts.
"Many of our members whose houses were burnt have to date not be found, despite all efforts by the church and their relatives to find their bodies or know their whereabouts," said the Rev. Anthony Farinto, national president of the ECWA. "ECWA suspects strongly that many of the dead bodies hurriedly buried in mass graves by the Muslims included some of its members who were murdered within the Muslim neighborhoods."
The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) accused the state General Officer Commanding (GOC), Major-Gen. Salleh Maina, and some soldiers of taking sides in the clash.
"Soldiers were seen in some parts of Jos watching Muslim youths shooting Christians and burning places without any efforts to stop them," read a PFN a press statement.
The process of selecting GOCs nationwide should be open and brought under the supervision of the National Assembly, as the choice of GOC by one man does "not augur well for the peaceful co-existence of the nation," according to the PFN.
The PFN urged the state government to form an Anti-Religious Riot Vigilante Group "whose officials should be well trained in surveillance, intelligence, security and brute self-defense as the first response group to any uprising before the arrival of the police to quell any uprising and save senseless killings."
The Rev. Chuwang Avou, secretary of the state chapter of CAN, said the crisis broke out when Muslim youths pursued a woman into a church during worship on Sunday, wreaking havoc on the service. A Muslim group in the area, however, dismissed claims that Muslim youths ignited the tensions. They accused Christian youths of stopping a Muslim from rebuilding his house.
State Commissioner of Police Greg Anyating stated that Muslim youths were to blame for setting off the violence.
The violence comes at a time of a leadership vacuum in Nigeria, with illness requiring Muslim President Umaru Yar'Adua to leave the country on Nov. 23 to seek treatment in Saudi Arabia.
The same area suffered on Nov. 28-29, 2008, when murderous rioting sparked by Muslim attacks on Christians and their property left six pastors dead, at least 500 other people killed and 40 churches destroyed, according to church leaders. More than 25,000 persons were displaced in the two days of violence.
What began as outrage over suspected vote fraud in local elections quickly hit the religious fault line as angry Muslims took aim at Christian sites rather than at political targets. Police and troops reportedly killed about 400 rampaging Muslims in an effort to quell the unrest, and Islamists shot, slashed or stabbed to death more than 100 Christians.
Sectarian violence in Jos, a volatile mid-point where the predominantly Muslim north meets the mainly Christian south, left more than 1,000 people dead in 2001. Another 700 people were killed in sectarian outbreaks of violence in 2004. Located in Nigeria's central region between the Muslim-majority north and the largely Christian south, Plateau state is home to various Christian ethnic groups co-existing uneasily with Muslim Hausa settlers.

Christians in Jos, Nigeria Fear Further Attacks
Churches burned following assault on Catholic church in volatile Plateau state.
LAGOS, Nigeria, January 19 (CDN) — Gunshots and smoke continued to alarm residents of Jos in central Nigeria today, with the Christian community fearing further violence from Muslim youths who on Sunday (Jan. 17) attacked a Catholic church and burned down several other church buildings.
A 24-hour curfew imposed yesterday in Jos and the suburb of Bukuru by the Plateau state government was extended through Wednesday. Police said continuing violence was initially triggered by Sunday's unprovoked attack by Muslim youths on worshippers at the St. Michael's Catholic Church in Nasarawa Gwong, in the Jos North Local Government Area.
Also burned were buildings of the Christ Apostolic Church, Assemblies of God Church, three branches of the Church of Christ in Nigeria and two buildings of the Evangelical Church of West Africa, Christian leaders said.
The number of casualties continued to grow, reportedly reaching more than 100 as security forces tried to rein in rioters, with both Christian and Muslim groups still counting their losses. Hundreds have reportedly been wounded.
"We have been witnessing sporadic shootings in the last two days," said the Rev. Chuwang Avou, secretary of the state chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria. "We see some residents shooting sporadically into the air. We have also seen individuals with machine guns on parade in the state."
Avou said many of those who are shooting are civilians, not policemen, and that they have been mounting road blocks and causing chaos in the area. At least 35 people have been arrested.
"What we have witnessed only goes to show that the problem in the state is far from over," he said. "Many families have been displaced. There are a number who are receiving treatment in the hospital. The dusk-to-dawn curfew imposed in the state has not solved any problem, as there is still tension in the land."
Avou said the crisis broke out when Muslim youths pursued a woman into a church during worship on Sunday, wreaking havoc on the service.
"Some Muslim youths invaded some churches and started burning and destroying properties," he said. "We were told that the youths pursued a lady to the church. Nobody knew what the lady did. What we just discovered was that the entire atmosphere was ignited and houses were being burned."
A Muslim group in the area, however, dismissed claims that Muslim youths ignited the tensions. They accused Christian youths of stopping a Muslim from rebuilding his house.
As violence continued today, there was a mass movement of Christians and Muslims from areas where rampaging youths were unleashing mayhem on the city despite heavy security. The Nigerian army was reportedly summoned to try to restore order.
The Rev. Ignatius Kaigama, co-chairman of the state Inter-Religious Council and Catholic Archbishop of Jos, condemned the recurring civil disturbances in the state and called on all to "sheath their swords and be their brothers' keepers."
The secretary of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, Pastor Wale Adefarasin, said attacks on Christians are a manifestation of terrorism in the country.
"What we should realize is that the government is not helping situations," he said. "It is an illusion that Nigeria is safe."
He added that terrorism affects both Christians and Muslims negatively, and that it is the duty of elected officials to ensure that terrorists are detected early and deterred.
"The Muslim fundamentalists want to take over Jos by all means," Pastor Adefarasin said. "They claim that Jos is a Muslim state, which is not true."
Violence hit the same area on Nov. 28-29, 2008, when murderous rioting sparked by Muslim attacks on Christians and their property left six pastors dead, at least 500 other people killed and 40 churches destroyed, according to church leaders. More than 25,000 persons were displaced in the two days of violence.

Religious freedom survey in Belarus: persecution continues
Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko's repressive religious policies remain unchanged, Forum 18 News Service finds in its survey analysis of freedom of religion or belief.
"Legal" restrictions include: requiring all religious activity by groups to have state permission, and be limited to one geographical area; barring meetings for worship or other religious activity in private homes that are either regular or large scale; requiring all places of worship to be state-approved; and routinely expelling both Catholic and Protestant foreign religious workers.
As one Belarusian Protestant notes, "They have created conditions so you can't live by the law. We would need to close half our churches in order to operate technically in accordance with the law." By reducing religious communities' aspirations, they are being contained within an invisible ghetto of regulation.
The authorities have crushed independent political, business and social organisations inside the country, and fear the potential of the largest remaining internal group of independent organisations – churches. This fear is reinforced by the fact that a number of key figures in the opposition are also committed Christians.

EXTREMISTS PLACE UNREASONABLE DEMANDS ON INDIAN CHRISTIANS
Last year, anti-Christian violence affected nearly half of India's districts and targeted believers in 310 villages, according to the All India Christian Council, reports MNN.
The World Bible Translation Center reports that Hindu radicals have recently placed unreasonable demands on Orissa's believers. Extremists are requiring Christians to reconvert to Hinduism, and in light of next month's elections, vote for the Hindu fundamentalist party. Believers also must withdraw any reports of violence that were submitted to the government.
Last year's anti-Christian violence was one of the reasons for the split between India's ruling Biju Janata Dal (BJD) and the Hindu extremist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP); BJD was one of its oldest allies. According to the All India Christian Council (AICC), the 2008 anti-Christian violence killed nearly 60 people, including 2 pastors. Christians in over 300 villages were targeted; 4,400 houses were burned, and 50,000 people were left homeless. Nearly 20,000 individuals were injured in attacks, and two women were gang-raped; one of them was a nun. Hindu extremists now are forcing Christians in Orissa to vote for the fundamentalist party in elections beginning April 16.
Anti-Christian violence in India has continued, and Voice of the Martyrs Canada received several reports in recent weeks. On March 9, Hindu militants armed with rods and hockey sticks forced entrance to a pastor's home in New Delhi where they beat him, his wife and son. The militants also stole 15,000 rupees ($370 CAD) and threatened to return and murder his family if he didn't leave within a week.
On March 11, another pastor was attacked by Hindu extremists after a prayer meeting. Radicals beat the pastor and told him to stop conducting prayer meetings. He suffered fractures to his back and ribs. Pray for healing for these believers, and ask God to give wisdom to church leaders in India.

North Kitsap High School 2018 graduate is making a sizable impact with the Bulldogs.
The pride of Poulsbo has proved himself to be a dominating force on the hardwood for the Bellevue College Bulldogs men's basketball team throughout the 2018-19 season thus far.
North Kitsap High School 2018 alumnus Kai Warren, who is averaging 17 points per game through the first 13 games of the 2018-19 season, is adept at creating opportunities for not only himself, but for his teammates. Warren exudes selflessness in every way on the hardwood.
The Bulldogs currently possess an overall record of 9-4 and are determined to reach the pinnacle during the 2018-19 season.
"We want to win our league and hopefully win the NWAC (Northwest Athletic Conference tournament)," Warren said.
Warren knew immediately after he visited Bellevue College last year that he would be a Bulldog.
Recently the Bellevue Reporter had an opportunity to ask Warren a few questions about his life outside of the basketball world.
Kai Warren: It is definitely Chick-fil-A. Everything is good. You can't go wrong with Chick-fil-A.
KW: I have three. Michael Jordan, Lebron James and my mom are my idols.
KW: I don't really text like that but I probably send over a 100 SnapChat messages a day.
KW: Hopefully playing professionally (basketball) somewhere.
KW: I like "Rick and Morty" (television show).
KW: It would be either the Bahamas or Dubai.

VHS freshmen closing in on a championship
Published 8:00 am Thursday, January 23, 2020
Vicksburg High freshman basketball player Layla Carter (12) brings the ball up the floor during a drill in practice on Wednesday. The ninth-grade Missy Gators are undefeated this season and two wins away from claiming the Little Six Conference tournament championship. (Ernest Bowker/The Vicksburg Post)
The purpose of junior high basketball, Vicksburg coach Deatra Robinson-Cable says, is to develop players capable of winning championships when they're juniors and seniors and not freshmen.
A moment later, however, she smiles and admits that the goals can change when a team gets as close as hers is to a title.
The ninth-grade Missy Gators are undefeated and two wins away from claiming their first Little Six Conference tournament championship in recent memory. They'll play either Brandon or Clinton in the semifinals Thursday afternoon at 4 p.m. at Rosa Scott High School in Madison.
The championship game is Saturday at 1:30 p.m. at Germantown High School.
"This is just a talented group of kids," Robinson-Cable said. "They've been playing together for a long time. Their parents started them as young kids and let them play together. The secret is with them. We're just reaping the benefits."
The Missy Gators beat Pearl 59-38 in the quarterfinals on Tuesday behind the kind of balanced effort that has powered them all season. Nine of the 10 players on the roster scored a point, and four finished with six points or more.
Robinson-Cable said all of her starters are capable of carrying the team, but one of the keys to their success is the role each one fills. Just as importantly, she added, all of them are willing to do what's needed for the greater good.
"Tiara Sims has developed so much as a point guard, and Janiah Caples is a team leader. Her basketball I.Q. has come a long way this year. JaNa Colenburg can shoot the lights out, and she's a consistent shooter. Layla Carter is our superstar. She can take over a game if you need her to do that," Robinson-Cable said. "Even our bench players are strong and coachable. That's one thing I love about this group. It's hard to find five girls that you can put on the floor at any time and it doesn't matter where they play, they're going to be coachable and do what you ask."
Several of the freshmen are likely to be moved up to the varsity roster next week to help that version of the Missy Gators with their stretch run. The varsity team is currently tied for first place in Region 4-5A, and Robinson-Cable said some of her players can help add depth and fill some needs in the rotation.
First, though, there is the unfinished business of the Little Six Tournament.
This same group of players lost in the semifinals of the eighth-grade tournament in 2019, and Caples said that experience has provided some fuel for this season.
"We want to win because we were so close last year," said Caples, who scored 10 points Tuesday against Pearl. "We're trying harder this year. We're more focused."
Even if they win a championship this week, they're confident it won't be the last. Caples said she and her teammates are well aware that they're working toward something bigger and better than just a ninth-grade championship.
"We want to go to the varsity and be the first girls to win a state championship in the history of Vicksburg High School," Caples said. "We want to get better so we can get on the varsity. We don't want to just win the Little Six. We want to win a gold ball."
• Vicksburg vs. Brandon or Clinton
• Thursday, 4 p.m., at Rosa Scott High School (Madison)
• Little Six Conference tournament semifinals

A certain family member jokes about moving back to China. Only half jokes.
I really hope the day never comes, because their smoking policies are horrendous and their internet filtering too. And to think Windows Vista is hell enough.
I wish there was some way to counter his ranting about the subject. He's a smoker.
He goes on and on about "the oldest civilization in the world". He dislikes (although this is subtle) that I'm taking Japanese courses.
He doesn't get that I know about the pollution problem they have over there, or that I am a blogger, or that I don't necessarily have to find a job in only one country. I don't want to talk about it with him because he's always so hurtful.
I seriously hope he's only joking, or that we will be unable to obtain Visas.
Or that I get a job before he gets the opportunity.
I want my grandparents to move here, not the other way around, so he can't push me around.
Oh, and just for the record...he probably won't even consider until I'm out of college. Which means I should be looking for university very, very far away. And in a liberal urban centre (but not so that I have a likely chance of getting mugged). Any suggestions? My current goal is either Boston or Oxford.
Discuss: Dealing with annoying housemates and gitty parents. Ways to thwart a nationalistic smoker who leaves cigarette ashes everywhere.
Sounds like there's nothing you can do. Maybe write to your grandparents, encouraging them to move to the States?
Ah, my mom would be able to do that. I think it has more to do with obtaining Visas than if they want to (which they probably do, because they asked for Costco Vitamins). Maybe I could flee to Canada as soon I possible (but who knows how I'd get a job there).
Good god I'd never be able to show my face to my parents again if that happened. Right now it's pretty unlikely.
Maybe I could call up a friend in California to live in the middle of nowhere. Real liberal atmosphere, yep.
Actually, my sister wanted to be adopted by the neighbours in our last neighbourhood, and that didn't work.
Or move in with the house down the street with Japanese memorobilia.
China... Weren't they saying that cigarettes were good for you, so that they could sell more, because cigarettes are like a huge industry over there? I'm fairly sure someone emailed me an article to that effect, and stated I should move there.
Guiyang, China — Here's some exciting medical news from the Chinese government: Smoking is great for your health.
Cigarettes, according to China's tobacco authorities, are an excellent way to prevent ulcers.
They also reduce the risk of Parkinson's disease, relieve schizophrenia, boost your brain cells, speed up your thinking, improve your reactions and increase your working efficiency.
Pay no attention to those lung cancer warnings - they're nonsense. You're more likely to get cancer from cooking smoke! Those are the words of wisdom from China's state-owned tobacco monopoly, the world's most successful cigarette-marketing agency. With annual sales of 1.8 trillion cigarettes, the Chinese are responsible for nearly 1/3 of all cigarettes smoked on the whole planet.
The official website of the tobacco monopoly claims cigarettes are a kind of miracle drug: solving your health problems, helping your lifestyle, strengthening the equality of women, and even eliminating loneliness and depression. "Smoking removes your troubles and worries," says a 37-year-old female magazine editor, quoted approvingly on the website. "Holding a cigarette is like having a walking stick in your hand, giving you support. "Quitting smoking would bring you misery, shortening your life." Such statements are widely believed in China.
2/3 of Chinese men are smokers, and surveys show that approx. 90% believe their habit has little effect on their health, or is good for them. Even in China's medical community, 60% of male doctors are smokers. No wonder Western tobacco companies are drooling over the Chinese market of 360 million smokers.
This week, a group of Canadian experts went to China in an effort to convince Chinese smokers of more realistic effects of smoking. They distributed anti-smoking posters, visited cancer patients, showed the graphic warnings on Canadian cigarette packs, and lectured on how the anti-smoking campaign has reduced Canada's lung-cancer rate. They face a struggle in China, a country where the tobacco industry provides 60 million jobs and 10% of national tax revenue.
"In China today, the economy comes first and everything else is secondary, including health care," Dr. Jean Couture, a Quebec surgeon, said. "You wonder if anyone in the government is conscious of how great the smoking problem is. There's no public education program. The Chinese anti-smoking association is very weak and has almost no money. Within 20 years, China could have the majority of all smoking deaths in the world." Couture leads anti-smoking campaigns in 4 Chinese provinces, and has been involved with China's smoking problem since 1990.
As Canadians distributed posters at a hospital, they saw a number of people smoking in the hospital. A hospital shop was openly selling cigarettes. While smoking rates have fallen sharply in Canada in the past two decades, the rate in China is still rising. The number of Chinese smokers is growing by 3 million a year, despite an estimated 1.3 million tobacco-related deaths annually.
Chinese cigarettes are cheap — as little as 30 cents a pack — and the health warnings are hidden in small print on the sides of the packages. Though cigarette advertising is technically illegal, tobacco companies are allowed to promote their corporate names. Children can easily buy cigarettes at Chinese shops, despite an official ban on sales to those under 18. Money, money, money.
As for avoiding moving back... Well, I haven't the faintest. I'm still getting kicked around by my parents, and I don't even live there anymore.
Then when I think of it, the high smoking rate among men is meant to curb the the gender gap caused by too many people wanting sons, seeing as the smoking rate amongst the women is so low.
If it was mandatory, the lottery would work. But the media outside China would be horrified.
They wouldn't be able to print tix fast enough.
Super lucky banzai good six vs. Mega shame dishonor bad six.
I can see this being government sponsored so the farmers can take part. This thread has been derailed, hasn't it? Anyone got suggestions for universities according to city/affordability/biology major?

Andrew Robertson's delight as he gets his hands on the 'big cup'
Andrew Robertson becomes the first Scot since 2008 to lift the Champions League trophy. Picture: Michael Regan/Getty Images
Massimo Marzocchi
For Andrew Robertson, the thrill of getting his hands on "the big cup" was all the more satisfying after twice missing out on the major prizes in the last 12 months.
Liverpool were pipped by a point for the Premier League title by Manchester City this season and lost last year's Champions League final to Real Madrid in Kiev.
On Saturday, Robertson became the first Scot to get his hands on a winner's medal in Europe's most prestigious club competition since Darren Fletcher 11 years ago.
But while Fletcher was an unused substitute when Manchester United
beat Chelsea on penalties in the 2008 Champions League final, Robertson played the full 90 minutes as Liverpool defeated Tottenham 2-0 in Madrid's Wanda Metropolitano in another all-English affair.
"In a strange way we probably played better against Madrid last season and ended up on the losing side," Robertson reflected.
Mo Salah's early penalty should have settled Liverpool but the Scotland captain admitted the Anfield side's first-half performance was below par, although they stepped things up in the second period, and substitute Divock Origi sealed the win with a late second goal.
"I think when we scored early we were comfortable that we were going to control it," Robertson said. "I don't think Tottenham had many massive chances but we believe we can keep clean sheets, so when we got the lead I think we all believed.
"Milly [James Milner] said it during the week. We had a meeting and he said the one thing we've not done as a team is been in the lead in a final. So we knew it was new, and when we took the lead, for the rest of the first half we were hopeless, to be honest. But we got it together in the second half and the big cup is all that matters."
Robertson, who joined Liverpool from Hull for £8 million in 2017, paid tribute to Jurgen Klopp for the way the Anfield manager has reestablished the club as a European superpower.
"It's incredible what's he's created in the last three-and-a-half to four years," said the former Queen's Park and Dundee United left-back. "He's changed this club completely and we quite easily could have got a very special double this season [of Premier League and Champions League].
"To come out empty handed would have been hard to take but we knew we had this final and now all the hard work of this season has paid off.
"He's been incredible and, in my opinion, has turned this club around. We can compete for the Premier League and the Champions League, but when he came in, we were looking to make top four. So he's made a massive difference."
In the short term Robertson will now turn his thoughts to international duty and Scotland's crucial Euro 2020 qualifying double header against Cyprus and Belgium. But, going forward, he is confident Saturday night's victory will help Liverpool "kick on" and win more trophies.
"We're a young squad and we now have that confidence and know-how of how to win a trophy," added the full-back. "It's our first trophy under this manager. I think only Jordan Henderson was involved in the League Cup win in 2012, so now we want to kick on and hopefully we can get our hands on another trophy next season."
It was perhaps inevitable that this final failed to live up to the high drama of the semi-finals, when Barcelona and Ajax were on the wrong ends of a couple of memorable comebacks. The stifling heat and the fact both Liverpool and Spurs had been idle for three weeks contributed to a rather scrappy affair.
Spurs faced an uphill battle after just 22 seconds when referee Damir Skomina pointed to the spot having adjudged Moussa Sissoko to have handled Sadio Mane's clipped cross in the box. The video assistant referee's review brought a substantial wait but no reversal in decision and Salah kept his nerve to blast the spot-kick past Hugo Lloris.
It was an error-ridden match thereafter, with Spurs chasing an equaliser but lacking the quality to find it. Danny Rose, Son Heung-Min, Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen all lined up to be frustrated by the Reds' impressive Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson, while Dele Alli had a night to forget and snatched at some half-chances. Origi then settled the outcome in Liverpool's favour when he shot low and powerfully past Lloris with three minutes remaining.
Robertson said that before kick-off Liverpool felt much more relaxed and focussed than they had 12 months previously against Real Madrid in Kiev. And what about after the full-time whistle? "I didn't know what to do with myself," added the Scot. "There was a thousand things going through my head. To have that moment in front of the fans was just incredible and it's something we'll cherish.
"The trophy is heavier than I imagined. To get my hands on that cup was an incredibly special feeling. It's one I would hope to have again, but there's no guarantee of that."

Q: If debugable is set to false or true it changes nothing I have Android debuggable set to false, yet the condition true. What is wrong here?
Application:
//debugable false or true, nothing changes
 if ((applicationFlags & ApplicationInfo.FLAG_DEBUGGABLE) != 0) {

     Log.d(TAG, "debugable");
 }

Manifest:
<application android:debuggable="false" ...

A: The answer to this very question is already given on SO.
See Android 'debuggable' default value.

A: .
Declaring your application as "debuggable" in your Android Manifest enables you  to debug your Android applications on an Android-powered device , just as you would on the emulator
When using Eclipse, running your app directly from the Eclipse IDE automatically enables debugging.
If you manually enable debugging in the manifest file, be sure to disable it before you build for release (your published application should usually not be debuggable).

A: The debuggable flag in the manifest gets changed automatically, you can remove it completely, which is also recommended by Google.
If you debug your application, the flag is true. If you export the applicaton, the flag is false.

The first version of my poem "Re-apparition" was comprised of three long stanzas. The idea of it was conceived when I woke up one morning to the sound of a fluttering sparrow. Its delicate wing vibrating against the glass window of my room created a sound so pleasant it resonated an unfamiliar feeling in me—a lightness, perhaps. For me, the term 'addiction' is a simplification of a rather complex system of circumstances and choices. Its origins can be unknown to a person, hence, an apparition. The poem is a story of the way I dealt with my personal addictions. I put them in a box, study them, "cage" them. But most importantly, I first try hard to live with them… until they reappear as something else.

Q: Solve the triple integral $\int_{0}^{c}\int_{0}^{b}\int_{0}^{a}e^{-x-y-z}dxdydz$ I need to solve the following...
$$\int_{0}^{c}\int_{0}^{b}\int_{0}^{a}e^{-x-y-z}dxdydz$$
I understand how to solve triple integrals but this exponent is stressing me out. How does one go about finding the integral of this? Is integration by parts needed?
I do not necessarily need a solution for all three integrals, but if someone could at least explain how to solve the first one that would put me on the right track.

A: Hint:
$$
\int_0^c \int_0^b \int_0^a e^{-x-y-z}\,dx\,dy\,dz
= \int_0^c \int_0^b \int_0^a e^{-z}e^{-y}e^{-x}\,dx\,dy\,dz
= \int_0^c \Big(e^{-z} \int_0^b \Big(e^{-y} \int_0^a e^{-x}\,dx\Big)dy\Big)dz
$$

Shell Nature Watch- Butterfly Explorer has been co-organised by Shell HK Limited and Green Power since 2004 to increase public awareness of and concern of butterflies, aiming to protect local butterfly diversity.
Hong Kong is home to more than 260 butterfly species, which is one-tenth the total for China. Hong Kong is therefore known as a "butterfly paradise". Since 2004, Shell partnered with Green Power to organised "Shell Nature Watch - Butterfly Explorer". It was the first large-scale butterfly-themed educational program in Hong Kong, with over a million times of participation so far.
Through school education, community promotion, and ecological surveys, the programme aimed to increase public awareness and concern of butterflies. Shell Hong Kong was pleased to have fully support the programme to encourage public participation in conservation of local butterfly diversity.
The last "Shell Nature Watch - Butterfly Explorer" programme was held successfully in 2019. Shell is committed to continue its support to promote environmental conservation in Hong Kong.

'Pushing Daisies' revival in the works
By Tariq Kyle
By Tariq Kyle | 5:18 pm EST, February 16, 2014
If you were a fan of the 2007 ABC series Pushing Daisies, then it's time to rejoice! Even after its unfair cancelation by ABC, it looks like the series is coming back in another form.
Pushing Daisies show creator Bryan Fuller has announced that he's hoping to bring the cast back for a project or two.
Fuller states in the interview, "I've had conversations very recently with Barry Sonnenfeld about financing a film, and with Kristin Chenoweth and Warner Brothers about developing a stage musical."
Additionally, Fuller said that some sort of revival is also on its way: "We're working on something that is definitely a Pushing Daisies revival, and the idea would be to have as many cast as we can to participate in it."
We're hoping that they'll be able to get the full cast to return, which includes Lee Pace, Kristen Chenoweth, Anna Friel, Ellen Greene, Chi McBride, Swoosie Kurtz, and maybe even Jim Dale as the narrator.
Pushing Daisies only lasted two seasons before it was canceled by ABC, having been affected by the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike. The first season only completed nine episodes because of the strike, the last of which Fuller had changed to serve as a season cliffhanger.
In its run on television, Pushing Daisies was nominated for 17 Emmy Awards, of which they won seven, including Chenoweth's Outstanding Supporting Actress in a comedy series win.

It is a garish, cosmic nightclub, the figures on the floor drug-addled, lobotomized, throwing each other over, punching each other up, selling each other out.
Elvis Costello has played a lot of clubs these last few years; after an angry, violent American tour, morsels of America sizzled in his brainpan, and in Get Happy!! Elvis thrust his middle finger up her dumb whore B-Movie hole, the music as hyper-energized, as fractious and scrappy as the country itself. It was a smashing, reverberating disc that some of us thought would go through the roof critically and commercially.
He got his rocks off that time, the fury dribbled out, and Trust is his depressing post-coital meditation — no longer an active participant. Elvis watches us all from the stage.
Trust, his most objective album, is also his least taut: it breathes, and sometimes it hyperventilates. The songs are more spacious, giving Elvis more chances to pose, to mince a bit, and some of his vocals have a slurred, lolling quality, made creepy by strangely dissonant, disconnected back-up vocals.
See him there, leaning against the piano, "trying to look Italian to the musical Valium," all hope gone. He's always been cynical, but his anger signaled hope; Trust is faith in nothing.
The Attractions have to fill a lot of gaps here, which they do stunningly. Steve Nieve puts some jolly tinkling all over the album, but I can't help feeling that he's a bit of a middlebrow even as he's sending up middlebrow music.
So punch-drunk they don't understand at all.
Or "New Lace Sleeves," about thinking the world is what they say it is in movies or in the paper, and finding out it's all a sordid, ugly sham, the way Elvis did when all those record executives refused to look beyond his slightly spastic exterior — "Good manners and bad breath will get you nowhere." The world sullied Elvis's new lace sleeves a long time ago and he still hasn't gotten over it: the song is like a river of tears, and Elvis's vocal is the most expressive of his career, choked yet fluent, cynical yet deeply innocent. It's a beautiful, intimate, cards-on-the-table number, with Pete Thomas's snare lightly searing your cranium.
Trust contains, however, two clunkers: "Different Finger," another of Elvis's dreary, patronizing, untranscendent country numbers, and "Shot With His Own Gun," a song for your daddy with a tune too feeble to accommodate the tragic sourfulness Elvis pours into it.
"Clubland" is diverting but stupid, with a deadly, unexpansive chorus that endlessly rehashes a bottom-of-the-barrel pattern of notes.
All little sisters like to try on big sister's clothes.
There's no blame here, folks, or anger. People don't really want to hurt each other, they don't know what they're doing or thinking or saying. They just imitate. The nightclub in Trust is a world where no communication is possible, nothing makes sense, nothing is real. Except pain.
And Elvis has chronicled his pain, sometimes flaccidly, sometimes with the near-precision that is art. At 23, amazingly, he has earned his despair.

Vastu is the bridge between man anggtrd nature. Everything is made up of basic five elements – FIRE, WATER, EARTH, SPACE, and AIR. All These elements are found only on earth, and that is why it is the only planet that supports life and nature. If the residential and commercial buildings are constructed without any regards to these elements, then no benefits will be attained. Each of the five basic elements give us a precious gift from the powers of the universe.
All materials in the world, irrespective of their size, shape, colour, physical or chemical compositions have embedded their origins from one of the 'Panchbhootas'. They all enjoy a peculiar vibration level, which evades the intelligence of human beings.
The most important aspect considered while formulating Vastu Shastra is the magnetic field of the Earth, which has significant influence on the human life. The human body itself acts as a magnet with the head, the heaviest as North Pole. If the head is directed towards the North while sleeping, the North Pole of the Earth and that of the human body repel each other affecting the blood circulation, causing disturbed sleep, tension and other problems. Thus, it is said by Vastu Shastris that one should not sleep facing his head towards North. .
Bore wells or ponds should be at North East of the Plot.
The Senior executives/ managers/ directors should occupy South-West direction, (considered the best), West & South Zones.
The accounts staff/ engineering staff/ artist should be placed in the South-East zone.
The bed should not be in the extreme North East corner and head should not be on South or East.
With so many different styles and materials, how do I choose the right product?
There is no such thing as a "right" or "wrong" product, just the product which is best suited for your requirement. Therefore, it's a good idea to identify the requirements of your project first, then you can let yourself wander among the wide range of designs and colours, and select relying on your taste.
What is the most suitable product for outdoor laying?
For outdoor laying it is necessary to use tiles which absorb less than 0.5% water, "fully vitrified" according to international standards. All of the products in Naturgress, Irisgress and Irisstone, with water absorption of 0.04%, are completely frost-resistant and covered by a 50-year warranty, even for outdoor use.
Which collections do you recommend for commercial installations?
All of the collections in Naturgress, Irisstone and Irisgress porcelain tile are covered by a 50 year guarantee against tread-wear, frost and stains, under any conditions of use.
Ceramic is primarily made up of clays, quartziferous sands, glass substances and other minerals.Only natural raw materials are used, mixed with water and fired at high temperatures to create a naturally beautiful product and to achieve hardness and durability.
Made from special clay minerals, porcelain tile (or porcelain stoneware tile) is a highly-resistant ceramic product with a solid structure and a hard surface which doesn't absorb water (classified as impervious), doesn't stain, and isn't affected by wear and tear over time. All of the wall tiles and flooring in Naturgress, Irisstone and Irisgress are covered by a fifty-year guarantee against wear, frost and stains, under any conditions of use. Moreover, glazed porcelain tile requires lower maintenance than natural stone, granite and marble.
Ceramic tiles are made from natural raw materials using the most up-to-date technology for safe-guarding the environment. Iris Ceramica has obtained both ISO 14001 and EMAS registrations which relate to eco-management,and periodically provides a statement of its environmental performance and its improvement programme. In 2004 the company's environmental commitment was awarded with the ANAB-IBO-IBN accreditation mark, reserved for materials approved to be used in sustainable architecture, for its Naturgress porcelain floor tiles.
Do tiles deteriorate over time?
Ceramic is a natural material with a natural composition which becomes resistant when fired at very high temperatures. This process, however, can cause slight differences in the shades of colour and in the actual dimensions of a tile between one batch and the next. Therefore, tiles are grouped before packaging according to their shade and their calibre. These are then indicated on the label of every pack.
Ceramic products are natural, beautiful, versatile, lasting, resistant, hygienic and easy to clean.
What are the advantages of porcelain tile?
The wide range of colours and textures, along with an accurate recreation of the look of natural stones, granites, slates, travertine, limestone, marbles, quartzite, terracotta and even wood and metal, combined with the low maintenance of ceramics and the technical properties of a hard-wearing material which is resistant to all weather conditions, chemical attack, scratches, stains, fading, heavy loads and fire.
The beauty and variety of colours, designs and decor made available by glazed tiles has always been one of the most valued qualities of ceramic products in general. The glaze also makes cleaning easier and hygienically more effective.
Only a minimum of effort is required to keep surfaces in good condition, due to the fact that glazed wall tiles and flooring are resistant to dirt and are not porous. If laid correctly and washed regularly with plain water, ceramic flooring will maintain the appearance and the specifications of the product over time, just like it was when installed. Furthermore, glazed porcelain tiles involve less maintenance than natural stones and marbles.
Can tiled surfaces be protected simply using common methods?
Or is special treatment necessary?After they have been laid, ceramic products do not require special treatment or cleaning with particular detergents. Protection against abrasive dirt in entrance areas and against possible falling objects in the areas close to working surfaces is advisable, by means of floor mats. We also suggest that you pay particular attention to protecting newly-laid flooring until all construction or remodelling work has been completed.

Death Of Trailblazing Black Female Judge Is 'Suspicious,' Police Say
Police are treating the recent death of Justice Sheila Abdus-Salaam, the first African-American woman to serve on the highest court in New York, as "suspicious," officials said this week.
Abdus-Salaam was found dead last week after her husband had reported her missing earlier in the day, according to CBS New York. Police said her body, which they found on the shore of the Hudson River near Harlem, had no obvious signs of trauma.
Police are treating her death as "suspicious" because there was no immediate indication of suicide or homicide, the NYPD said.
"We haven't found any clear indications of criminality, but at this point we can't say for sure. We're hoping if anyone could shed any light into the hours before her disappearance, it would help us establish what happened," NYPD spokesman Stephen Davis told the New York Post.
The NYPD 26th Precinct tweeted a public appeal for assistance on Tuesday, describing what Abdus-Salaam was last seen wearing and encouraging anyone with information to contact authorities.

Police initially treated Abdus-Salaam's death as a suicide, though a spokeswoman for the city's medical examiner said the results of an autopsy conducted last week were inconclusive, The Associated Press reported. The investigation is ongoing.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) appointed Abdus-Salaam, a veteran judge and lawyer, to be an associate judge on the Court of Appeals in 2013. In a statement released last week, Cuomo called his colleague a "trailblazing jurist" who fought for a fair and just New York.
"As the first African-American woman to be appointed to the state's Court of Appeals, she was a pioneer," Cuomo said of the 65-year-old judge. "Through her writings, her wisdom, and her unshakable moral compass, she was a force for good whose legacy will be felt for years to come."

Abdus-Salaam grew up in a poor family of seven children in Washington, D.C., according to the New York State Bar. She went on to graduate from Barnard College in 1974 and received her law degree from Columbia University in 1977.
She started her impressive legal career as a staff attorney at East Brooklyn Legal Services Corporation, before going on to serve as an assistant attorney general in the Civil Rights Bureau of New York State's attorney general's office and, later, as general counsel for the New York City Office of Labor Services.
As an assistant attorney general, Abdus-Salaam won an anti-discrimination lawsuit involving more than 30 female New York City bus drivers who were denied promotions, The New York Times reported.
In 1991, Abdus-Salaam was elected as a Civil Court Judge for New York City and served there until she was elected in 1993 to the Manhattan Supreme Court, where she served for 15 years.
She was appointed by Gov. David Paterson as associate justice of the appellate division in 2009. Cuomo appointed her four years later to serve as one of seven judges on the state's highest court, the Court of Appeals.
"Throughout my legal career, I have sought to uphold the laws of our state and treat all those who appear before me fairly and with respect and dignity," Abdus-Salaam said at the time.
Last August, Abdus-Salaam helped to expand the definition of parenthood and allow LGBTQ parents to seek the same parenting rights as biological parents, according to Lambda Legal, a New York-based nonprofit civil rights organization.
"Judge Abdus-Salaam saw clearly how damaging it was to keep LGBT parents from their children," Lambda Legal wrote in a blog post. "We owe her a tremendous debt of gratitude. She touched the lives of many New Yorkers; her legacy will live on."

Carl Heastie, the first African-American to serve as the speaker of New York State Assembly, said in a statement last week that Abdus-Salaam was "highly respected" and an "inspiration to many."
"Her passing leaves a void that will be difficult to fill," Heastie said. "This is a sad day for all New Yorkers."
