Anyways, I finally made it out to Mamalee's the other day during one of my lunch breaks!! I've been dying to come here since it's so close to UBC!
Mamalee's is run by the same folks who run Cafe D'Lite in Aberdeen!! The last time I tried coming here I was with a friend ~ we were on the 99 bus and we were planning on going to Mamalee's for an early dinner after class, but we canceled our plans after we realized we had to walk 10 mins (in the pouring rain!) from McDonald Street to Mamalee's...we ending up eating at Crystal Mall instead!
I mistakingly thought that ordering half a hainanese chicken (for $14.50) would suffice. Boy was I wrong!! The thing was tiny! So I ended up ordering a second plate hehe. The guy was like "Is that to go?" ...why do I always get asked that?
This had all the makings of a well executed hainanese chicken!! The only thing that caught me off guard was the price. It just didn't seem like it was worth the price. The table beside me had the large order and it didn't look like much for $28.50!
The chicken was soo good though! It was super silky and juicy!! And I loved how it was boneless! The chicken itself tastes pretty light, with only a hint of soy sauce. It comes with green onion/chilli sauce on the side for you to dip your chicken in! I ended up ordering a second plate (below) because the portion size was so tiny!
This was a few dollars cheaper, so if you're eating alone, this is definitely a better deal because you don't have to order rice separately! The portion of rice it came with also looked a lot larger than the rice I ordered separately (for $2!) The way they presented the chicken made it look deceivingly large but there actually wasn't that much.
The chicken rice here is on point!! It's super fragrant, with a strong chicken oil scent/flavour!! The rice is grainy and not too dry!!
You ate an entire rotisserie chicken in one go?!
Dude, when I buy one from Safeway I struggle to finish it before it goes bad!
In my defense, the chicken was smaller than your average bird because it wasn't raised with hormones LOL!!
There is something funny about the colour of the first picture of the chicken. Was it as red-ish as it seems to look like?
Never tried the Whole Foods one.
Agreed!! I really like Costco's rotisserie chicken!! We use to buy it all the time ~ back when we had a Costco membership!
I use powdered water .... far drier and less messy.
WF's roast chicken is good but $$ now. Way back when it was $10 and that was a great deal. I used to buy it once awhile from Meinhardt Fine Foods and it was very good. Haven't bought from neither store for a long time.
Nowadays I'm more likely to get a whole soya chicken or white-cut chicken from Money's BBQ/Meats in Chinatown or on Fraser St.
"Is that to go?" You get asked that because even an adult male food blogger like me cannot finish that much food. Nope, not even with "ancient Chinese secrets"!
Wow.. tiny portions and expensive too!!
For this kinda meal, I still think cocohut in Richmond is good value. Full chicken and 5 bowls of rice for like $22bucks.

Golf School in Majorca/Spain – Golf courses and playing lessons | (Deutsch) Philosphie unserer Golfschule - Wie Sie bei uns auf Mallorca Golf lernen!
A technique, which is more or less consistent, is an ability. To obtain an ability (for instance to hit the ball first and then the ground), we go through a series of steps with our pupils.
With every golfer, the coach always has to find a common way of getting goals accomplished. The interesting thing is that we find players with different characters, different ways of solving things, with more or less time to practice.
So it becomes a teamwork. Our golf professionals are like chameleons.
We are on one side a golf teacher, who teaches. Then we are also a coach. There is a huge difference in this sentence. Let's look into this and see how it works within our instructional courses.
The teacher is the one who explains and shows a golfer how he has to do a certain swing. "Do it this way and then do this and that so that the ball does this." It is about giving only the necessary information to establish a certain technical way so the body can play the shot in a more effective and consistent way.
Now in lessons there are sever all ways of explaining and showing "it".
A very good way of doing this, is to create manipulated excersises. With those excersises, the golfer will have to perform the shot in a good technical manner to achieve the goal. He internally coordinates, so that the ball does what we want it to do. That would be playful learning and is guided/controlled more by internal coordination.
We also work quite often with external focus. That means, not always do we tell you how you have to do something (internal focus). We just tell you, as an example, what the ball has to do. Now you have to figure out how you have to move the body and the club, so that the club impacts in a certain way and the ball does what we want it to do.
That often is so much easier to do, then having to show you in details what you have to do. In this case, you will try and use your internal coordination to exaggerate a movement, which after a few tries will hopefully end in the improved movement part.
If you have too many things at once, your inner control and delivering ability will be flooded and movements won't happen naturally, or how we call it 'internally steered'.
The coach, on the other side, tries to improve what a player already has. He uses excercises to make a player more skilful in doing something. To achieve that, he adds difficulties to get the player to overachieve, which is when the actual learning happens.
A golf teacher tries to eliminate additional stress for internal coordination processes to achieve a certain shot. A golf coach, on the other side, adds stress to create more abilities and accepts the ways a golfer is doing it.
The next step we go through is to polish the technique with variable excersises so the golfer gets control over the different shot types. He will now play a chip, then a putt, then a pitch, then an 7 iron, then a hybrid and a driver. In this phase we play a lot of games, one against one or teacher versus pupils.
That is also when we can start to control more where we hit a ball, rather than how to hit it. Mechanics become less important.
We hope that you are as passionate about improving your game as we are and we would love to have you with us during your most precious time of the year – your holidays.

'We are ecstatic': Monroe girl, 2, safe after night alone in northern Mich. woods
Mark Hicks James David Dickson Francis X. Donnelly
Dozens of searchers didn't find her. Neither did the police, tracking dogs or a helicopter.
In the end, 2-year-old Gabriella Roselynn Vitale found herself.
The barefoot Newport girl, who had been missing in the northern Michigan woods for 27 hours, walked up to the home of a woman who then called police.
And, just like that, the tumult and trepidation was over.
"Great news!!!" the Michigan State Police said in a tweet.
Gabriella's mother, Alyssa Bijarro, thanked the multiple law enforcement agencies who had scoured the Oscoda County woods for her baby.
"We would like to express our thanks to God for keeping our sweet Gabriella safe," she said in a statement.
Gabriella was in good spirits and didn't seem to suffer any effects from spending the night in the woods, said police. As a precaution, she was taken to a hospital for observation.
The toddler had wandered away from a woodland campsite just northeast of Mio on Monday morning, said police.
The family had been packing up from their camping trip when they noticed the girl was missing.
She remained missing through the night and evening as the woods were searched by the state police, several sheriff's offices, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Forestry Office.
They found her pink coat several hundred yards away from the campsite.
But she would eventually travel much farther, arriving at the resident's home half a mile from where she disappeared, police said.
"She covered quite a bit of ground," said Lt. Travis House, a spokesman for the state police in northern Michigan.
She approached the resident's home at 11:30 a.m., said police.
According to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, "the group of people that found Gabriella was a retreat group who had let law enforcement agents search their cabin's property for the missing girl Monday night."
They found Gabriella on the porch the next morning, "wearing half her T-shirt and ... missing her pants and shoes," and alerted authorities.
Lt. Brandon Kieft, a conservation officer at the DNR, was the first law enforcement officer to arrive.
"I asked her if she wanted to go see mommy and she lit up – she came right to me and gave me a big hug," Kieft said in the DNR statement.
The group knew the girl had been missing because of news reports that had stretched across the country.
Law enforcement officials had just resumed their search Tuesday when they learned the toddler had been found.
Gabriella was taking the whole thing in stride, said police.
"(She) seems relatively unfazed for a 2-year-old who's been in the woods overnight," said House.
It wasn't the most accommodating terrain for a toddler, he said. The woods included swamps and wetlands, he said.
She caught a break with the weather, which was warmer than usual for northern Michigan. Temperatures reached a low of 72 overnight, compared to the usual 56 for this time of year, said the National Weather Service.
Because of the girl's age, police will likely never know how she was able to navigate the wild.
"She's only 2 and not overly verbal, so exactly what she experienced might be a mystery," said House.
The woman's home was on the outskirts of the grid where law enforcement officials had been searching, said House.
The area where the woman lived was going to be the next place they looked, he said.
"We are ecstatic she's been found," said House. "She certainly helped by finding a residence."
Bijarro said she was relieved the nightmare was over.
"Please continue to keep our family in your prayers as we hold Gabriella in our arms," she said.

While jogging, she discovered a baby buried alive. Twenty years later, they reunite
Azita Milanian is reunited with Matthew Whitaker, the newborn baby she found abandoned on the side of a trail in Altadena 20 years ago. (Myung J. Chun / Los Angeles Times)
London, May 19, 2018 (AltAfrika)-Its an emotional and incredible story . In 1998, a jogger found a newborn baby buried alive in the foothills of Altadena, his umbilical cord still attached. The baby, not more than a few hours old, hovered near death.
For decades, Azita Milanian would wonder what happened to the boy after he recovered at a Pasadena hospital and was put up for adoption. This week, 20 years to the date of when she found him, the two were reunited.
"I was waiting for you for 20 years," a tearful Milanian said as she hugged Matthew Whitaker.

It was a reunion that came about in an unlikely way. The mother of one of Whitaker's friends wrote into the KIIS FM radio station explaining Whitaker's story and asking for a 23andMe DNA kit so he could learn more about his ancestry.
Whitaker agreed to take the test and have the results revealed during the "On Air with Ryan Seacrest" program. When one of the show's producers, Patty Rodriguez, read a 1998 Los Angeles Times story of Milanian finding him, she decided to try to reunite them.
Ahead of the program's taping Wednesday morning, Milanian waited anxiously in a nearby room, with a bag filled with clothes that she had brought for Whitaker. In the bag was a card, with an envelope reading, "Happy Birthday! Baby Christian Mountain Angel Mathew."
When Milanian walked into the studio and saw Whitaker, she began to cry, sobbing into his shirt as he hugged her and called her an angel.
"Finally, all my dreams came true," Milanian said. Many in the studio cried.
On the program, Milanian shared the story of how she found Whitaker on a Saturday night when she had been invited to go dancing, but decided instead to go running.

One of her dogs, Tango, had stopped to smell and scratch at the dirt on the trail. Milanian went to investigate and saw two feet coming out of the ground. At first she thought it was an animal, but then she heard the infant cry.
When she started digging, she found a baby wrapped in a blue towel. She lifted him onto her arm and began digging the dirt from his nose and mouth.
"Please don't die," she said to the baby. "I will never leave you. I love you."
After she found him, Milanian called 911 but was disconnected several times before she finally flagged down a motorist, who contacted the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
While she waited, Milanian said, she tried to comfort him.
"He grabbed my wrist and stopped crying," Milanian said in a 1998 interview. "It was very emotional. What kind of sick human would do something like that? He still had his umbilical cord hanging from his stomach."
When two sheriff's deputies, Darren Harris and Joel Nebel, arrived, they found Milanian on her knees holding the boy. They checked the baby's vital signs and immediately requested paramedics.
"They took the infant from me. They didn't wait," Harris said.
Whitaker's body temperature had fallen to 80 degrees, and when he arrived at the hospital, he was immediately treated for severe hypothermia. Doctors think the baby's size — he weighed 7 pounds, 12 ounces — enabled him to survive.
The baby made a remarkable recovery, and at the time, the neonatal medical director at Huntington Memorial Hospital called it "really almost a miracle." Hospital nurses named him "Baby Christian" and people from around the state, and as far as Florida, sent in toys, gifts, clothes and monetary donations.
A few days later, Milanian went to see the baby, gazing with tears in her eyes as the infant lay sleeping on his belly in an incubator. She did not adopt him herself because she had been on the news and worried someone could easily find him.
Still, Milanian had hoped to maintain contact, and after her visit said she repeatedly reached out to child services to see Whitaker. Finally, after a year of attempts, she was told he had been adopted and she would not be able to see him.
"It was the most frustrating experience," said Milanian, an Iranian-born American citizen.
After finding Whitaker, she was inspired to start Children of One Planet, a nonprofit organization that helps orphan children around the world. And as the years passed, she waited.
"I was hoping that he would find me, the same way we found each other that day," Milanian said.
Authorities tried in vain to find the boy's mother, combing the area with scent dogs and knocking on doors around the neighborhood looking for witnesses, according to a 1998 report from the Sheriff's Department.
"We believe the mother may be a scared teenager or young adult that simply did not know what to do," the Altadena Station stated in a flier requesting information on the mother's identity.
Later that month, detectives received a call from a woman claiming to be the mother. She asked about the charges she might be facing before hanging up. Shortly after, the same woman called the hospital asking about the baby's welfare, according to the report.
The L.A. County Board of Supervisors put forth a motion to offer a $5,000 reward for anyone who could identify the person who buried the baby.
"Fortunately, there is a happy ending to such a tragic beginning," the board said in the motion. "A couple has committed to adopting Baby Christian and will care for him and love him as every child deserves to be loved."
Whitaker grew up in the South Bay, never knowing the story of how he had been found. The only commemoration of that time lay in his middle name: Christian.
His father, who died a few years ago, was in the military and later worked in law enforcement. Whitaker's mother worked in education and law and has always been fiercely protective of her son.
At volleyball games, the sport Whitaker has played most of his life, his mother was his greatest cheerleader.
Azita Milanian and Matthew Whitaker were reunited on Whitaker's birthday — and 20 years from the day he was found: May 16, 1998. (Myung J. Chun / Los Angeles Times)
It was not until Whitaker was 17 that he learned from a family member that he had been adopted. A year ago, his godmother told the story of how he was found.
Though it surprised him, none of it changed the way he felt about his upbringing.
"I'm here today. I've lived a great life. I was adopted into a great family," Whitaker said. "I couldn't ask my parents for any more."
Whitaker studied at Santa Monica and El Camino colleges and plans to study journalism at the University of Arizona. He dreams of becoming an entertainment lawyer or maybe an actor, and now he hopes to help Milanian with her nonprofit.
He doesn't dwell on the person who left him.
"If this was your best idea, to leave me here, then thanks," he said, "because you weren't mentally fit to raise a child."
The day they reunited, Milanian drove Whitaker to the hiking trail where she found him. As she walked with him, she called him by the name she knows best: Christian.
Whitaker stared through a chain-link fence at the spot. He grew quiet, serious — a change from the jokester he had been all day.
Back in the car, Milanian asked if he was OK.
"This could have been my grave," Whitaker said.
Milanian sat next to him in the car and said softly, "You were wanted."

Human Rights EPUB
by Freeman Michael Freeman
Part of the Key Concepts series
Download - Immediately Available
Human Rights is an introductory text that is both innovative and challenging. Its unique interdisciplinary approach invites students to think imaginatively and rigorously about one of the most important and influential political concepts of our time.
Tracing the history of the concept, the book shows that there are fundamental tensions between legal, philosophical and social-scientific approaches to human rights. This analysis throws light on some of the most controversial issues in the field: Is the idea of the universality of human rights consistent with respect for cultural difference? Are there collective human rights? What are the underlying causes of human-rights violations? And why do some countries have much worse human-rights records than others?
The third edition has been substantially revised and updated to take account of recent developments, including the Arab Spring , the civil war in Syria, the refugee crisis, ISIS and international terrorism, and climate change politics. Widely admired and assigned for its clarity and comprehensiveness, this book remains a go-to text for students in the social sciences, as well as students of human-rights law who want an introduction to the non-legal aspects of their subject.

Christian Walton: 7.5 - Keeper made an absolutely crucial stop just after the break, turning Amond's low shot on to the post as a second could have seen Town staring at defeat. Hugely unlucky with opener too, with his fine reaction stop counting for little as the rebound was converted.
James Justin: 8 - Getting more impressive with every passing minute he tightened up his defensive duties with some excellent interventions. Always had the legs to get forward too, with Luton searching for a leveller.
Dan Potts: 7 - His confidence continues to rise with a proper run in the team now and delivered another assured display as part of Town's incredibly young back-line.
Akin Famewo: 8 - Some full debut from the 17-year-old, who looked cool, calm and collected for the entire evening. Comfortable in possession too and appeared nerveless throughout, which was some feat considering it was his first start in the Football League.
Alan Sheehan (STAR MAN): 8.5 - Not many centre halves could have stepped up to curl such a magnificent free kick into the top corner. Looked back to something like his best too, bringing the ball out of defence to get the visitors going when Pools were down to 10 men.
Olly Lee: 6.5 - Needlessly gave the ball away in dangerous position as Hartlepool took the lead on the stroke of half time. Kept Luton ticking as they enjoyed a monopoly on possession in the second period, and almost won it with a York-like drive from deep.
Jake Gray: 6.5 - Up against his former side and put in plenty of work during the first half in which Hatters could never really get going. Made way just after the hour mark though as Luton bolstered their attacking options.
Alex Gilliead: 6.5 - Deserving of a first start and made some good breaks at times in a first half where not a great deal happened. Trickery was more evident in the second period with Luton on top and minutes will have done him a world of good.
Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu: 8 - Surprised a few by starting in a striking berth alongside Marriott, but was involved in Luton's best moments early on. Dropped deeper after the break and was a constant threat, hitting the outside of the post.
Jack Marriott: 7 - Missed a glorious chance at the death which would have undoubtedly sealed victory for Hatters. Denied by a number of last-ditch blocks once more as although finishing is slightly off, continues to take up good positions.
Isaac Vassell (SUB): 6.5 - Helped Luton stretch the home defence once more as the visitors left with a deserved point.
Jordan Cook (SUB): 6.5 - Almost won it with a lovely curling effort that drew a fine flying stop from Carson.

Balanced offensive effort leads Vikes to OT win
A balanced offensive effort lifted the Huntington North High School boys' varsity basketball team to a 70-66 win over visiting North Side in double overtime on Wednesday, Jan. 8.
Four players scored in double figures for the Vikings, 4-7. Senior Deven Newcomb led the quartet with 18 points. Senior Jordan Hollowell and sophomore Zach Hubartt each added 15 points while junior Sam Thompson chipped in 12.
Hollowell also corralled 10 rebounds to notch a double-double. His efforts helped the Vikes win the battle of the boards, 46-36.
Huntington North led 16-14 after the first quarter, but fell behind by halftime, 25-23, and trailed 40-34 after three frames. The hosts battled back in the fourth, though, outscoring North Side, 17-11, to deadlock the contest at 51-51. The teams remained tied after the first overtime period, 59-59, but Coach Craig Teagle's squad pulled away in the second, tallying 11 points while holding the Legends to seven to take the game.
The Vikings shot 23 of 62 from the field for 37 percent and 17 of 27 at the free-throw line for 63 percent.
North Side, 1-8, was paced by Isaiah Moore, who tallied 19 points. Rodney Wilson and Jacob Lambert added 12 and 10 points, respectively.
The Legends hit 22 of 56 field goal attempts for 39.2 percent and 14 of 19 freebie tries for 73.7 percent.
Huntington North also won the junior varsity contest, 54-38.
The Vikings were led by Dillon Trout and Austin Oswalt, who scored 10 points apiece.

"Absorbed in God's Word" (Psalm 119:9-16)
Absorbed in God's Word Absorbed in God's Word Brad Mills / General Bible; Meditate; Purity / Psalm 119:9–16 One of my traditions has been to use the last Sunday of the year to prepare us for the new year. We have considered several psalms which help us to look back with gratitude. But I want to return to Psalm 119 and spend time picking up at vv.9-16. This is the quintessential chapter on God's word. Almost every verse refers…
"Wisdom or Rebellion" (Psalm 2)
Vern Poythress
"Make a Joyful Noise to the Lord" (Psalm 98)
Make a Joyful Noise to the Lord (Psalm 98) If we want to worship God in the way he intends us to worship him, we must come before him with reverence and joy. We rightly recognize God's holiness as we gather for corporate worship. But how important is joy? How often do you stir up the joy of worship as you prepare your heart? That's the primary emphasis in this psalm. It teaches us to sing with excitement. This psalm…
"Worship the King" (Psalm 96)
Worship the King (Psalm 96) The best classic novels often draw us in with a thread of unfulfilled longing. We keep reading with an insatiable desire to close the loose end. We feel ourselves longing alongside the characters. More often than not, authors wrap up their stories with satisfying conclusions. The mission is accomplished. The quest is completed. The boy gets the girl. The girl marries the boy and lives happily ever after. The end of the fictional story gives…
"The Steadfast Love of the Lord (Psalm 89:1-2, 19-26)
The Steadfast Love of the Lord (Psalm 89:1-4, 19-26) In 1789, Benjamin Franklin wrote "Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency; but in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." Despite the limited number of certainties Franklin possessed, we ought to strive for more confidence. If we take our cues from Scripture, we find that we can be confident in who God is and what He says. Last…
"Shouts of Joy" (Psalm 126)
Shouts of Joy (Psalm 126) In 2014, hundreds of undergrad students were ushered into a plain room at the University of Virginia. They were asked to put away their cellphones, books, and pens in order to engage in "thinking periods" lasting between six and fifteen minutes. Some were given prompts while others were told to think about whatever came to mind. It was intended to be a pleasant experience, but 50% of the participants didn't think so. They tried "thinking…
"Revive Us Again" (Psalms 85)
Revive Us Again (Psalm 85) Illustration: Twilight Zone "A Nice Place to Visit." After being gunned down during a burglary, Mr. Valentine, is ushered into eternity. To his surprise he experiences all the things he had been craving in this life (luxurious penthouse, fancy suits, all the alcohol he could want, an endless supply of money and women). But as the episode nears the end, he finds that his eternity is empty. It doesn't leave him satisfied. He tells his…
"Restore Us, O God" (Psalm 80)
Restore Us, O God (Psalm 80) How do you approach God when you need restoration? Advent is about waiting/anticipating God's restoration. In Psalm 80, Asaph longs for the covenant blessings to be returned to Israel. He pictures God as an angry Shepherd who left his flock, in the midst of their enemies, to feed upon their tears. He longs for the Lord's restoration and favor. The Psalms teach us how to communicate with God. We learn to express our emotions…
"Wholehearted Thanksgiving" (Psalm 9)
Wholehearted Thanksgiving (Psalm 9) We've heard a lot about recounting in the news over the past few weeks. Once again, Florida was in the middle of the controversy. At least we have our act together over here in California… Hopefully, recounting the wonderful deeds of the Lord isn't so complicated. Psalm 10 has no title supporting the theory that 9-10 were originally one (mostly acrostic) psalm. However, due to a significant shift in the mood, we will only focus on…
Number Our Days – Pt. 2 (Psalm 90)
Introduction Never resolved: "I hope to spend less time in prayer…" Hengstenberg There are scarcely ten in ten thousand moved by these things as they ought to be. Read Psalm 90 Our Shelter (1-2) God's eternal affection despite our fickleness. The "dwelling place" all generations.

"The Harlot and the Beast" (Revelation 17)


On Tuesday, BBC2 broadcast a must-view documentary about the Islamophobic Dutch politician Geert Wilders who has infamously called for the Qur'an to be banned (amongst many other bigoted anti-Muslim recommendations). The BBC2 documentary is essential viewing not least because it explicitly reveals that the inspiration of much of Wilders' anti-Muslim bigotry is – wait for it – the apartheid state of Israel. Israel's cheerleaders in the UK media, not least Melanie Phillips, have gone into a frenzy in response. You can imagine their reaction would have been slightly different if a politician had openly called for the Jewish scriptures to be banned.
You can watch the BBC2 documentary 'Geert Wilders: Europe's Most Dangerous Man?' here for the next few days.

Recent attacks on churches are not a sign of an impending religious war in Malaysia. There is no doubting that in a plural society like ours those incendiary incidents could easily explode out of control. That notwithstanding, these recent ugly acts are merely sub-plots of a much larger and more dangerous drama that is now unfolding, one that is far more consequential and destructive. These are the early skirmishes of an explosive, protracted and very ugly civil war among Malays.
There is a definite pattern between these recent events and earlier ones involving only Malays, specifically the whipping of a young mother for consuming beer and the call for apostasy to be a capital offence. Connect the dots and you have a Malay community in deep conflict.
What struck me most with the recent spate of church arsons were the relatively muted responses from the victims. This reflected not merely a charitable "turning the other cheek" reaction, rather an intuitive realization by non-Muslims that they were not the target but merely innocent victims of a much larger conflict raging under the surface: a vicious Malay civil war. Those poor Christians were caught in a cross-fire in a conflict they did not realize was going on around them.
Contrast the reactions of non-Muslims to those of Malays. No, the Malay vitriol was not directed at non-Muslims rather to fellow Malays. On one side were those who view those attacks as debasing our great faith, and the other, those who consider them as the purest jihad. When commentators use epithets like "idiots," "racists" and "pengkhianat" (traitors), we know this is a serious matter, beyond the reach of sensible dialogues.
The issue of the use of the word "Allah" is merely a symptom. Today it is over that, yesterday over Ketuanan Melayu versus Ketuanan Rakyat, while much earlier it was the use of English to teach science and mathematics. Tomorrow, God (or Allah) knows what else. Already some of the sultans are weighing in on this Allah issue. Expect another battle soon over the sanctity of the sultan's titah (command) versus a court decision.
I do not mean to belittle the seriousness of those arson attacks on churches. Indeed it was hard to describe the sinking feeling in the pit of the my stomach as I watched CNN News, and the ticker tape kept blipping the latest newsbreak, "Fourth Church Attacked!" and then, "Fifth Church Arson Attack," and now the eleventh, and realizing that those were happening not in war-torn Lebanon or strife-ridden Sudan but in our own "Truly Asia" Malaysia.
A more sickening feeling was seeing Home Minister Hishammuddin (left) smugly 'reassuring' us that everything was 'under control.' That was after the third or fourth arson attack. He could hardly refrain from patting himself on the back for (presumably) a job well done. His "government's commitment to maintain peace" had averted a major religious catastrophe, he asserted. Obviously to him, the damage wrecked was only the burnt buildings and scorched church doors.
Somebody ought to tell Hishammuddin to wipe the grin off his face, and make him realize that the enormous damage wrecked upon the nation went well beyond the physical defacements of those churches. Those can be readily fixed, with or without government grants. With simple technologies like surveillance cameras, those attacks could also be prevented.
Bluntly put, what we are witnessing today are the external manifestations of a deeply divided and conflicted Malay society. This divide is already irreversible and unbridgeable; meaning, expect continuing turmoil with increasingly ugly and brutal skirmishes.
Civil wars are always much more brutal and difficult to resolve. Look at Indonesia. The Aceh insurrection, pitting essentially ethnic Malays against fellow ethnic Malays who are also Muslims, was more protracted, more vicious, and more difficult to resolve then the Irian Jaya conflict of the 1960s and 70s, or the anti-Chinese pogroms of the 1950s. The scars of those later conflicts, which began way after the Aceh rebellion, have all healed, but the wounds of Aceh are still raw, ready to flare up at any moment.
I do not anticipate Malaysia having another May 1969 race riot. Malaysians have come a long away since those dark days. Non-Malays in particular realized that the constraints of the NEP notwithstanding, they could still thrive in Malaysia. There are enough examples of successes to discredit those who would assert otherwise.
For Malays, gone too were the days when we would meekly and almost as a reflex follow our leaders or their dictates. When they tell us that the Christians have nefarious motive in using the word "Allah," we scoffed at our leaders. Our leaders – hereditary, political, religious, and others – face unprecedented cynicism and scrutiny, and rightly so especially after they have failed us all these years.
What Malaysia faces today is an entirely new and novel challenge: conflict among Malays. We have never experienced that. We are used to considering 'outsiders' as enemies, beginning with the colonialists and later the 'pendatangs' (newcomers). We therefore cannot fathom much less anticipate this new 'internal' danger; it has yet to enter our collective consciousness. This lapse is most noticeable among our leaders; hence their continuing to egg on their followers, oblivious of the dangers.
Malay leaders have also failed to prepare us for the modern age. Instead of acknowledging and learning from their mistakes, these leaders resort to the oldest tricks, of creating phantom external enemies. Today the new enemies are those who would infringe upon our faith, or so our leaders would like us to believe.
There are still sufficient numbers of Malays who believe in rallying around their leaders especially during times of crisis, real or manufactured, the old circling-of-the-wagons instinct. These leaders, specifically in UMNO, are bankrupt of ideas on how to improve our lot. These manufactured enemies help divert our anger away from these leaders, so they hope. Their frequent and misplaced calls for Malay 'unity' are also part of this strategy.
As a society we have not learned to disagree agreeably. Again this is the deficiency of our leaders for they too have not demonstrated the ability to disagree among themselves civilly. The Mahathir-Anwar disagreement for example, nearly ripped our society apart, and we have yet to recover from that.
Our leaders lack the intellectual capacity or leadership qualities needed to solve the myriad problems facing our people, from the lack of jobs to rampant crimes, from our failing schools to corrupt institutions. About the only activity they are capable of is to engage in such puerile activities as worrying how the Christians address God.
There is not much that we can do about these leaders; they will continue their ineffective and destructive strategies until they are relieved of their leadership positions. In a democracy, that power resides only with the people. Thus the more we can let our people see through the hollowness of these leaders, and the hoax they are attempting to perpetrate upon us, the faster will these leaders reach their day of reckoning.
In these days of Internet, twitters, blogs and cell phones, the avenues for reaching and educating our people on the emptiness of our leaders are limitless. Thus it behooves us to enlighten our people, and we do this one person at a time. We need not convert everyone, only a sufficient critical mass. Once we reach that, the momentum will carry us through.
Only by getting rid of these incompetent and useless leaders could we ever hope of finding more enlightened ones who could diligently work through our many problems. This is the only route. The alternative would lead us to a civil war and a path of continued destruction.
So there is someone who sees the breaking of this nation as a growing possibility. I can envision a scene where the Federation of Malaysia secedes into individual political block states. The mass exodus of people from north to south, the abandoning of Sabah and Sarawak to its own destiny, the barb wire fence that separates what is UMNO/BN and what is NOT.
I pray this vision never comes to pass each night. Because Malaysia would be HELL ON EARTH. The bloodshed that would ensue would be a nightmare in a country born of a beautiful dream.
Keep praying for sanity to prevail. And for whatever deity that protects this land to make this wish so.
Whatever name someone chooses for the Divine Lord, this this prayer come true.
Gerald its already happened. Drop your outdated, overly romantic nationalism. We are human beings living together, not citizens of any arbitrary lines or divisions drawn on bits of paper, following archaic and outdated customs and forms of selfidentification.
Ha ha you often make the post more interesting whenever this picture of Hishammudin is added to it or the one where he waved his keris.

In number theory, the  Chevalley–Warning theorem implies that certain polynomial equations in sufficiently many variables over a finite field have solutions. It was proved by  and a slightly weaker form of the theorem, known as Chevalley's theorem, was proved by . Chevalley's theorem implied Artin's and Dickson's conjecture that finite fields are quasi-algebraically closed fields .

Statement of the theorems

Let  be a finite field and  be a set of polynomials such that the number of variables satisfies

where  is the total degree of . The theorems are statements about the solutions of the following system of polynomial equations

 The Chevalley–Warning theorem states that the number of common solutions  is divisible by the characteristic  of . Or in other words, the cardinality of the vanishing set of  is  modulo .
 The Chevalley theorem states that if the system has the trivial solution , that is, if the polynomials have no constant terms, then the system also has a non-trivial solution .

Chevalley's theorem is an immediate consequence of the Chevalley–Warning theorem since  is at least 2.

Both theorems are best possible in the sense that, given any , the list  has total degree  and only the trivial solution. Alternatively, using just one polynomial, we can take f1 to be the degree n polynomial given by the norm of x1a1 + ... + xnan where the elements a form a basis of the finite field of order pn.

Warning proved another theorem, known as Warning's second theorem, which states that if the system of polynomial equations has the trivial solution, then it has at least  solutions where  is the size of the finite field and . Chevalley's theorem also follows directly from this.

Proof of Warning's theorem
Remark: If  then

so the sum over  of any polynomial in  of degree less than  also vanishes.

The total number of common solutions modulo  of  is equal to

because each term is 1 for a solution and 0 otherwise.
If the sum of the degrees of the polynomials  is less than n then this vanishes by the remark above.

Artin's conjecture

It is a consequence of Chevalley's theorem that finite fields are quasi-algebraically closed. This had been conjectured by Emil Artin in 1935. The motivation behind Artin's conjecture was his observation that quasi-algebraically closed fields have trivial Brauer group, together with the fact that finite fields have trivial Brauer group by Wedderburn's theorem.

The Ax–Katz theorem

The Ax–Katz theorem, named after James Ax and Nicholas Katz, determines more accurately a power  of the cardinality  of  dividing the number of solutions; here, if  is the largest of the , then the exponent  can be taken as the ceiling function of

The Ax–Katz result has an interpretation in étale cohomology as a divisibility result for the (reciprocals of) the zeroes and poles of the local zeta-function. Namely, the same power of  divides each of these algebraic integers.

When companies look to boost their revenue, they often resort to raising prices. Conventional wisdom should lead you to believe that bumping up the price of your products and/or services will yield more revenue. In some cases, this may hold true. Other times, however, it can backfire by discouraging otherwise loyal customers from choosing your business. So, how can you boost revenue without raising prices?
Creating a sense of urgency is essential when selling a product or service in the B2B market. As with most forms of business-to-business (B2B) sales, prospective customers are often busy with other tasks. After making the initial presentation, they may tell you they'll "think about it," or that "now isn't the best time to discuss it." Rather than counting it as a lost sale, however, you can increase your chance of success by creating a sense of urgency.
Looking to generate more commercial relocation leads? Check out the tips listed below.
Up-selling is a great way to boost revenue in B2B sales. Once a client has expressed interest in a particular product or piece of equipment, you can attempt to sell him or her a relevant "add on." For instance, clients who are interested in buying a forklift may also be interested in attachments like a drum handler. If the client intended to use the forklift to move and manipulate large drums, a drum handler will certainly prove useful.
Many companies will continue to use the same outdated industrial equipment for years or even decades, assuming it's not worth the investment to upgrade. In some cases, this may hold true. In other cases, though, upgrading to newer and more advanced machinery and equipment can yield some notable benefits. So if you're an industrial salesperson who's looking to boost sales, you should familiarize yourself with the following benefits of upgrading equipment so that you can help to paint a clear picture for your sales leads.

Q: How to generate unique numbers in a SQL Server database I want to maintain all columns in all tables in a database by unique id and ID should be in increasing order.
When I will add a column in any table of database, the column should uniquely identified by its id in whole database.

A: There is a T-SQL keyword IDENTITY use this to auto-increment a column.
If you define a table it would look like this:
CREATE TABLE MyTabel
(
     ID int IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
     SomeColumn varchar(100) NOT NULL,
     AnotherColumn VARCHAR(100)
)

The first value of IDENTITY defines it's initial value. The second value is the increment. So if you write something like IDENTITY(100, 10) the inital ID (first ID of the first row you add) would be 100. The second 110, third 120,...
+++EDIT+++
CREATE TABLE MyTable
(
    ID uniqueidentifier NEWID() PRIMARY KEY,
    SomeColumn varchar(100) NOT NULL,
    AnotherColumn VARCHAR(100)
)

Q: Remove a leading space from a range I have a column range of about 500 rows. Most of those cells are stored as text. I populate a listbox on a userform with the values from that range. When a user selects one of those values from the listbox an event will find the value on the same row from another column using Index and Match and display it in a label on the userform. I get an error when selecting one of the few cells in the listbox that are not stored as text in the range because there is a leading space. I am assuming that the populated listbox automatically removes leading spaces from any cells in the range. Therefore, when it tries to find value 12345 from the listbox, for example, in the range it can't find it because the range contains (space)12345. I have tried:
Public Sub UserForm_Initialize()

Dim arr() As Variant
Dim rNum As Range

Const sNum As String = "Number"

Me.EnableEvents = False

wsName = "Report"
Set curWb = ActiveWorkbook
Set pReport = curWb.Worksheets(wsName)
Set pTable = pReport.ListObjects("tableName")

With pReport
    If .AutoFilterMode = True Then .ShowAllData
    .Cells.Rows.Hidden = False
    .Cells.Columns.Hidden = False
End With

Set wf = Application.WorksheetFunction

With pTable
    Set rNum = .ListColumns(.ListColumns(sNum).Range.column).DataBodyRange
End With

-- HERE is where I tried all my implementations without success

arr = wf.Transpose(pReport.Range(rNum.address).Value)

Call BubbleSort(arr)

frmIssues.lstIssues1.List = arr

lstIssues1.ListStyle = 1
lstIssues2.ListStyle = 1
lstIssues1.MultiSelect = 2
lstIssues2.MultiSelect = 2
txtFocus.SetFocus

Me.EnableEvents = True

End Sub

Private Sub lstIssues1_Change()

Dim rNum As Range
Dim rTitle As Range
Dim strResult As String
Dim intIndex As Integer
Dim intCount As Integer

Const sNum As String = "Number"
Const sTitle As String = "Title"

If EnableEvents = False Then Exit Sub

With lstIssues1
    For intIndex = 0 To .ListCount - 1
        If .Selected(intIndex) Then intCount = intCount + 1
    Next
End With

If intCount = 1 Then
    Set wf = Application.WorksheetFunction
    wsName = "Report"
    Set curWb = ActiveWorkbook
    Set pReport = curWb.Worksheets(wsName)
    Set pTable = pReport.ListObjects("tableName")

    With pTable
        Set rNum = .ListColumns(.ListColumns(sNum).Range.column).DataBodyRange
        Set rTitle = .ListColumns(.ListColumns(sTitle).Range.column).DataBodyRange
    End With

    With pReport
        strResult = wf.Index(.Range(rTitle.address), wf.Match(lstIssues1.List(lstIssues1.ListIndex), .Range(rNum.address), 0))
    End With

    lblDescription.Caption = wf.Trim(strResult)
    txtFocus.SetFocus
Else
    lblDescription.Caption = ""
    txtFocus.SetFocus
    Exit Sub
End If

Me.EnableEvents = False

For i = 0 To lstIssues2.ListCount - 1
    If lstIssues2.Selected(i) = True Then lstIssues2.Selected(i) = False
Next

Me.EnableEvents = True

End Sub

and numerous variations of it (Clean, CStr, .Text, etc.) and nothing works. Truly, I have no clue how to fix this and any help whatsoever is much appreciated. Thank you!
Clarification
1) This Excel file is generated from the Web.
2) A Macro turns the Worksheet into a table
3) Left(Range("D362"),1) returns 1 (The number, say, is 12345)
4) Before the error occurs Range("D362") returns (space)12345
5) After the error occurs Range("D362") returns (space)12345

A: I have just tested this and it works in removing the space at the begining of a string. Sadly it isnt a single line as I (and likely you) would have prefered
Sub test()

Dim CellValue As String
Dim lngNumberOfCharacters As Long

CellValue = ActiveCell.Value
CellValueCheck = Left(CellValue, 1)

If CellValueCheck = " " Then
lngNumberOfCharacters = Len(CellValue) - 1

CellValue = Right(CellValue, lngNumberOfCharacters)
ActiveCell.Value = CellValue
End If

End Sub

Bank of Canada will likely need to hold rates above 4% in 2023 -IMF
FILE PHOTO: Governor of the Bank of Canada Tiff Macklem walks outside the Bank of Canada building in Ottawa
OTTAWA (Reuters) - The Bank of Canada will likely need to keep interest rates at or above 4% for most of 2023 to cool an overheated economy and tame high inflation, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said in a report.
The central bank's benchmark overnight interest rate currently stands at a nearly 15-year high of 4.25% after a 50 basis point hike announced on Wednesday.
The IMF, in its annual review of Canada's economy released late Thursday, said "the key immediate priority is to bring inflation down without triggering a recession," and that it welcomed the Bank of Canada's "decisive policy tightening."
The bank has raised rates at a record pace of 400 basis points in nine months to fight inflation that is far above its target. Money markets expect the policy rate to peak at 4.36% in June and end 2023 at about 4.10%.
Inflation has been edging down after surging to a four-decade high in June, but is still more than three times the central bank's 2% target.
The IMF said inflation should continue declining and return to the 2% target by end-2024, while economic growth was set to slow to 3.3% in 2022 and 1.5% next year.
Slowing growth should also push unemployment to rise moderately and reach the pre-pandemic level of around 6% by next year, IMF added.
The projections are largely in line with the Bank of Canada's forecast of growth declining to just under 1% in 2023 and inflation returning to 2% in 2024.
"Important risks, however, surround the baseline forecast, and shocks could easily push the economy into a mild recession," the IMF said.

Dan Girardi: The New York Rangers' Unsung Hero

It's hard to imagine that those three words can be associated with a player who was an all-star, a top pair defenseman, and an alternate captain (for half of the season) for one of the NHL's best teams in 2011-12. Yet that is the case for the New York Rangers' Dan Girardi. Because on a...

Click Here for Items Related To - 1889–1890 Flu Pandemic
The 1889–1890 flu pandemic, also known as the "Asiatic flu"[1] or "Russian flu", was a pandemic that killed about 1 million people worldwide,[2][3] out of a population of about 1.5 billion. It was the last great pandemic of the 19th century.[4]
The most reported effects of the pandemic took place from October 1889 to December 1890, with recurrences in March to June 1891, November 1891 to June 1892, winter 1893/1894, and early 1895.
It is not known for certain what agent was responsible for the pandemic. Since the 1950s it has been conjectured to be Influenza A virus subtype H2N2.[5][6][7] A 1999 seroarcheological study found the strain to be Influenza A virus subtype H3N8.[8] A 2005 genomic virological study says that "it is tempting to speculate" that the virus might not have been an influenza virus, but human coronavirus OC43.[6] Danish researchers reached a similar conclusion in 2020, in a study which had not been published in a peer-reviewed academic journal as of November 2020[update]. They described the symptoms as very like those of COVID-19.[9]

They described the symptoms as very like those of COVID-19.[9]
Modern transport infrastructure assisted the spread of the 1889 influenza. The 19 largest European countries, including the Russian Empire, had 202,887 km of railroads, and transatlantic travel by sea took less than six days (not significantly different than current travel time by air, given the timescale of the global spread of a pandemic).[8] It was the first pandemic to spread not just through a region such as Eurasia, but worldwide.[10]
The flu was first reported in the Central Asian city of Bukhara in the Russian Empire, in May 1889.[1][11][10] The Trans-Caspian railway enabled it to spread farther into Samarkand by August, and Tomsk, 3,200 km away, by October.[10] Since the Trans-Siberian Railway had not yet been constructed, spread to the east was slower, but it reached the westernmost station of the Trans-Caspian, Krasnovodsk (now known as Türkmenbaşy), and from there the Volga trade routes which carried it by November to Saint Petersburg (infecting 180,000 of the city's under one million inhabitants) and Moscow.[10][12] By mid-November Kiev was infected, and the next month the Lake Baikal region was as well, followed by the rest of Siberia and Sakhalin by the end of the year.[10]
From St. Petersburg, the infection spread via the Baltic shipping trade to Vaxholm in early November 1889, and then to Stockholm and the rest of Sweden, infecting 60% of the population within eight weeks.[10] First Norway, and then Denmark, followed soon after.[10] The German Empire first received it in Poznań in December, and on 12 November 600 workers were reported sick in Berlin and Spandau, with the cases in the city reaching 150,000 within a few days, and ultimately half of its 1.5 million inhabitants.[10] Vienna was also infected around the same time.[10] Rome was reached b

The first case on American soil was reported on 18 December 1889.[10] It then quickly spread throughout the East Coast and all the way to Chicago and Kansas in days.[10] The first death, Thomas Smith of Canton, Massachusetts, was reported on 25 December.[10] San Francisco and other cities were also reached before the month was over, with the total US death toll at about 13,000.[10] From there it spread south to Mexico and farther down, reaching Buenos Aires by 2 February.[10]
Durban in South Africa was reached in November 1889, while India received it in February 1890, and Singapore and Indonesia did by March.[10] These were followed by Japan, Australia, and New Zealand by April, and then China in May; the infection continued to spread, reaching its original starting point in Central Asia.[10]
In four months it had spread throughout the Northern Hemisphere. Deaths peaked in Saint Petersburg on 1 December 1889, and in the United States during the week of 12 January 1890. The median time between the first reported case and peak mortality was five weeks.[8] In Malta, the Asiatic flu took hold between January 1889 and March 1890, with a fatality rate of 4% (39 deaths), and a resurgence in January to May 1892 with 66 fatalities (3.3% case fatality).[13] When this flu began, whether it was contagious was debated, but its quick action and pervasiveness across all climates and terrains proved that it was.[11]
There was no standard treatment of the flu; quinine and phenazone were used, as well as small doses of strychnine and larger ones of whiskey and brandy, and as cheaper treatments linseed, salt and warm water, and glycerin.[10] Many people also thought that fasting would 'starve' the fever, based on the belief that the body would not produce as much heat with less food; this was in fact poor medical advice.[10] Furthermore, many doctors still believed in the miasma theory of disease rather than infectious spread;[10] for example, notable professors of the University of Vienna, Hermann Nothnagel and Otto Kahler considered that the disease was not contagious.[10]


What's the best way to introduce HTML to a complete beginner — a student, a child, a friend?
There are plenty of choices. You can watch a snappy video on Khan Academy. You can play with an HTML "fiddle" (a site that lets you write and preview bits of markup). Or you can take the classic approach — put some markup in an ordinary text file and load it up in a browser.
You'll probably use all these approaches at some point. But if you're giving a new learner their very first glimpse of HTML, my hands-down favorite teaching tool is Mozilla's X-Ray Goggles.
The idea behind X-Ray Goggles is simple. X-Ray Goggles lets you see the HTML elements behind the curtain — much like the View Source feature in a browser. The difference is that X-Ray Goggles keeps it clean and simple. It lets you study a single element at a time, so you're never forced to scroll through pages of markup.
And here's the magic part: not only can you see the markup, you can change it.
Look for the pink button that says Drag and drop me in your bookmark bar. Click the button, and drag it up onto the bookmark bar.
Now you'll see a new shortcut appear, named X-Ray Goggles.
Once you've added the X-Ray Goggles bookmark, you're ready to learn some HTML (and vandalize some websites). All you'll see, it's easy.
The first step is to go to a page that interests you. Then, click the X-Ray Goggles bookmark in the toolbar. This activates X-Ray Goggles. Now you can explore the page just by moving your mouse around.
Here, the mouse is moving over three different elements on the TIME magazine website: an image at the top, an article title underneath, and a description below that. The top-left corner of the pink box shows the element name for each section: <img>, <a>, and <div>.
You can turn X-Ray Goggles off at any point by pressing the Esc key.
X-Ray Goggles is a fun way to explore pages. If you're teaching a quick-and-dirty HTML lesson, you could describe a common type of element (like an anchor or heading) and then ask students to hunt for it in the wild.
But the real fun happens when you change the content of an element. To do that, hover over the element so it's highlighted in a pink box. Then, click the element. A panel will pop open with the simplified HTML for just that element.
And you can edit what you see. If you're using X-Ray Goggles to show someone HTML for the first time, all they really need to understand is that an element is a container, with a funny looking start tag at the beginning (like <a>), an end tag at the end (</a>) and some content in between. Then they can start experimenting.
You can use X-Ray Goggles to make more dramatic changes. For example, you can add new elements, point links to different addresses, and replace one image with another.
Don't be afraid to hand X-Ray Goggles to someone who knows nothing about HTML. It's a great way to learn through playful hacking. After all, sometimes the best learning happens when you get to tweak, change, and outright break things you don't completely understand. You can break out the HTML editors later.
¹ Mozilla is an not-for-profit foundation that maintains the Firefox browser and promotes open web standards.
² If you're using a different browser, don't worry — the X-Ray Goggles page explains exactly what menu options you need to show the bookmarks bar.

Q: Prove that if $q\in\mathbb{Z}$ then there is $n$ such that $x^2-1$ in $\mathbb{Z}_n[x]$ has $q$ roots at least
Prove that if $q\in\mathbb{Z}$  there is $n$ such that $x^2-1$ in $\mathbb{Z}_n[x]$ has at least $q$ roots.

I've seen a similar theorem: If $p$ is prime and $d|p-1$ then $x^d-1$ has $d$ roots in $\mathbb{Z}_p[x]$, but I couldn't think of a way to apply it to solve this case.
Maybe can I use the Chinese remainder theorem?

A: An element of $\mathbb{Z}_n$ is a root of $x^2 -1$ if the element has order at most $2$ in the multiplicative group $\mathbb{Z}_n^{\times}$.
It seems you know that for odd prime $p$ there are exactly $2$ such elements in $\mathbb{Z}_p^{\times}$.
Now you can, for example using Chinese Remainder Theorem, find $n$ such that $\mathbb{Z}_n^{\times}$ has arbitrarily many elements of order at most $2$.
Recall or show that $\mathbb{Z}_n^{\times}$ is isomorphic to  $\prod_{i=1}^k \mathbb{Z}_{p^{v_i}}^{\times}$ where $n = \prod_{i=1}^k p_i^{v_i}$ with distinct primes $p_i$.
