Recently, the Singapore Haze is getting quite bad, crossing the 200 PSI Mark on several occasions. Do consider purchasing a Air Purifier, or some N95 Masks, as the haze problem is probably staying for at least a month. Personally, I use Nasal Irrigation (Neilmed Sinus Rinse), which has tremendously helped my nose during this haze period. It can help clear out dust and mucus trapped in the nose.

Haze strikes Singapore again, this time it is quite serious as the PSI is often above 300. For those seeking an affordable air purifier, do consider this air purifier which is one of the few that costs below $100. It is definitely reusable next year as the haze problem is not going to be solved in the near future.

Let G be a group of order 56. Show that G is not simple.
Proof:
We will use Sylow’s Theorem to show that either the 2-Sylow subgroup or 7-Sylow subgroup is normal.
$latex |G|=2^3cdot 7$
By Sylow’s Theorem $latex n_2mid 7, n_2equiv 1pmod 2$. Thus $latex n_2=1,7$.
Also, $latex n_7mid 8, n_7equiv 1pmod 7$. Therefore $latex n_7=1, 8$.
If $latex n_2=1$ or $latex n_7=1$, we are done…

Recently, Singapore is plagued by the haze, arising from forest fires in Indonesia. This is a common occurrence that happens yearly.
Simultaneously, I noticed a drop in Wifi speed both at home and at work.
Is this a coincidence? Or could the haze particles be actually blocking/absorbing Wifi signals so that the Wifi is slowed down?
What do you think? Probably the same effect occurs for smog or fog.
It is well-known and established that rain affects Wifi. Hence, perhaps it is not too far-fetched to postulate that the haze affects Wifi too?
Suppose you have an Excel file with dates in the format DD/MM/YYYY.
So you have entries like 02/03/1999 (2 March 1999). Suppose you want to change it to 2/3/1999, i.e. remove leading zeroes from one digit days and months.
It sounds easy, but it is actually quite tricky to do it in Excel without knowledge of the correct method. The normal methods of date formatting will simply not work.
After some searching, I found and tested that the following method is probably the fastest and easiest way to do it:
Select the date column and then click Data > Text to Columns Next, Next, then select Date ‘MDY’
then you should be able to do this using a number format of
m/dd/yyyyorm/d/yyyyif you don’t want a leading zero in the days as wellSource: StackOverflow
Mathematics is a high scoring subject in class 11 among all the subjects. Mathematics plays an essential role for all the students to get admission in the best engineering colleges. Even though the students have prepared the problem many times, sometimes they are not confident enough while writing the examinations. Here, the list of topics and concepts in class 11 mathematics such as finding the sides of a triangle using Pythagoras theorem in trigonometry, limits and derivatives, probability and so on are provided.
Sets – Students are suggested to practice as many questions as possible. Learn the definitions properly and draw the Venn diagram if required to score good marks.
Relations and Functions – Domain and range are the essential concepts in this chapter. Learn all the graphs of the functions given in the section “some functions and their graphs.”
Trigonometric Functions – Learn all the trigonometry formulas. This chapter contributes to prominent importance among all the sections. Also, learn the trigonometric ratios of standard angles, and trigonometric identities with its proof.
Principle of Mathematical Induction – Most of the students find this chapter exciting; you need to analyse the question from the section. One problem will come from this chapter.
Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations – This chapter is one of the easiest chapters in class 11 mathematics as it requires only less time to prepare for the exam. Inevitably the questions are asked from the concepts such as polar representation and quadratic equations with complex roots.
Binomial Theorem – Go through the questions from “General and Middle Term of a Binomial Expansions”. The calculation errors are likely to happen in this chapter.
Permutation and Combination – Learn the definition of permutation concepts when all the objects are distinct or not distinct, and determine the combination of the given problem.
Linear Inequalities – This part needs more practice to work with the system of linear inequalities in one variable and two variables.
Sequences and Series – Since all the topics in this chapter are almost related to each other. You cannot skip any exercise. Master all the formulas in this chapter to score more.
Straight Lines – Read all the straight lines formulas. Use proper labelling, figures in the problem that should be clean and neat.
Conic Sections – Practice all the concept in this chapter. Go through the concepts such as a parabola, hyperbola, circles, and an ellipse.
Introduction to Three-Dimensional Geometry – Determine how to find the distance between two points in the 3D space and also study the section formula.
Limits and Derivatives – The essential concepts in this chapter are product rule and quotient rule. Find the derivative of a function and determine how to apply the limits of a polynomial, trigonometric and rational functions. Use trigonometry table to find the corresponding value for the trigonometric derivative function.
Mathematical Reasoning – This chapter does not require computations. Get the description of the statement and examine its validity.
Statistics – Read the formulas like mean, variance, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation of a continuous frequency distribution.
Probability – Go through all the topics in this chapter. Understand the contrast between “with replacement” and “without replacement.”

Bishop’s opening is an excellent opening for White, that is not very well known. It has some dangerous traps like the video below.
R has the package “psych” which allows one to calculate the Cronbach’s alpha very easily just by one line:
psych::alpha(your_data, column_list)
For Python, the situation is more tricky since there does not seem to exist any package for calculating Cronbach’s alpha. Fortunately, the formula is not very complicated and it can be calculated in a few lines.
An existing code can be found on StackOverflow, but it has some small “bugs”. The corrected version is:
def CronbachAlpha(itemscores):
itemscores = np.asarray(itemscores)
itemvars = itemscores.var(axis=0, ddof=1)
tscores = itemscores.sum(axis=1)
nitems = itemscores.shape[1]
return (nitems / (nitems-1)) * (1 - (itemvars.sum() / tscores.var(ddof=1)))
The input “itemscores” can be your Pandas DataFrame or any numpy array. (Note that this method requires you to “import numpy as np”).
The R programming language has an excellent package “psych” that Python has no real equivalent of.
For example, R can do the following code using the principal() function:
principal(r=dat, nfactors=num_pcs, rotate="varimax")
to return the “rotation matrix” in principal component analysis based on the data “dat” and the number of principal components “num_pcs”, using the “varimax” method.
The closest equivalent in Python is to first use the factor_analyzer package:
from factor_analyzer import FactorAnalyzer
Then, we use the following code to get the “rotation matrix”:
fa = FactorAnalyzer(n_factors=3, method='principal', rotation="varimax") fa.fit(dat) print(fa.loadings_.round(2))
The recommended dosage seems to be:
1/8 flat teaspoon (around 0.5 ml) per 5 US gallon within aquarium (long term)
1 flat tablespoon (around 15 ml) per gallon for 10 minute bath (short term)
Epsom salts can be used to cure dropsy, bloating and internal parasites in fish.

Điều nổi tiếng là một số trang web thiết yếu bị chặn ở Trung Quốc:
Như bạn có thể thấy, Great Firewall của Trung Quốc chặn nhiều dịch vụ thiết yếu sẽ gây bất tiện cho hầu hết mọi người, cho dù bạn là một doanh nhân, sinh viên hay chỉ là một khách du lịch bình thường. Nó đã trở nên tồi tệ hơn trong những năm gần đây (2019 trở đi) khi Tường lửa đã mạnh hơn rất nhiều và nhiều VPN không hoạt động tốt như chúng đã làm.
Trong hướng dẫn toàn diện này, chúng tôi sẽ đề cập đến nhiều tùy chọn (VPN và hơn thế nữa) sẽ giúp bạn vượt qua Bức tường lửa vĩ đại của Trung Quốc và kết nối với Google, YouTube, Facebook, et cetera. Chúng tôi bao gồm các dịch vụ miễn phí cũng như trả phí, cũng như các giải pháp không phải VPN.
*** Rất quan trọng: Tất cả các VPN là miễn phí hoặc trả phí phải được tải xuống và thiết lập trước khi bạn vào Trung Quốc. Khi bạn vào Trung Quốc, bạn không thể tải xuống hoặc thiết lập tài khoản trên VPN.
Hầu hết các trang web không cho bạn biết về VPN miễn phí vì chúng không nhận được lợi ích (hoa hồng) từ việc này. Chúng tôi sẽ chỉ đề xuất các VPN miễn phí đáng tin cậy, đáng tin cậy ở đây. Xin lưu ý rằng có tồn tại một số VPN VPN miễn phí mờ ám có khả năng đánh cắp hoặc rò rỉ dữ liệu của bạn. Các VPN miễn phí dưới đây không yêu cầu bất kỳ dữ liệu thẻ tín dụng nào.
*** Quan trọng: Nếu bạn chỉ dựa vào VPN miễn phí, bạn nên tải xuống và thiết lập 2 hoặc 3 lựa chọn thay thế. Điều này là do VPN miễn phí thường kém ổn định hơn và dễ bị chặn hơn vì có ít vị trí máy chủ hơn.
Một VPN miễn phí rất tốt từ một công ty chuyên nghiệp thực sự. Bạn nhận được khoảng 10 GB băng thông dữ liệu miễn phí đặt lại mỗi tháng, có khả năng nhận được nhiều hơn bằng cách tweet hoặc giới thiệu với bạn bè của bạn.

Cá nhân tôi đã dùng thử phiên bản miễn phí của Windscribe ở các thành phố khác nhau ở Trung Quốc và nó hoạt động (hầu hết thời gian). Đừng mong đợi kết nối hoàn hảo mặc dù. Nếu bạn quyết định sử dụng Free Windscribe, hãy đăng ký tại đây tại trang web chính thức của Windscribe.
TunnelBear cũng cung cấp gói miễn phí (500 MB hàng tháng) không yêu cầu bất kỳ thông tin thẻ tín dụng nào từ bạn. Dựa trên kinh nghiệm của tôi, Windscribe Free tốt hơn so với TunnelBear miễn phí (dựa trên cơ hội kết nối và số lượng vị trí máy chủ). Tuy nhiên, điều đó đang được nói, rất có thể xảy ra rằng tại bất kỳ thời điểm nào, TunnelBear có thể kết nối trong khi Windscribe không thể. Do đó, khuyến nghị là nhận cả Free Windscribe và TunnelBear.
Lantern VPN là duy nhất theo nghĩa nó không phải là VPN, mà là một công cụ chia sẻ mạng ngang hàng trên mạng. Vì nó hoạt động khác với VPN, nên có thể nó không bị chặn trong khi các VPN khác. Lantern có tùy chọn Miễn phí (URL: https://getlantern.org/) cho phép bạn duyệt các trang web bị hạn chế khi ở Trung Quốc.
Nếu bạn quyết định nâng cấp lên phiên bản trả phí (Lantern Pro), bạn sẽ nhận được nhiều dữ liệu hơn và tốc độ nhanh hơn. Sử dụng mã YJVD2WT của tôi và nhận 3 tháng miễn phí khi bạn đăng ký!
Không thể nhấn mạnh rằng bạn cần nhiều hơn 1 sự lựa chọn nếu bạn đang đi tuyến đường VPN miễn phí. Chúng tôi khuyên bạn nên tải xuống và thiết lập tất cả 3 VPN miễn phí ở trên trước khi bước chân vào Trung Quốc.
VPN trả phí (trong tiếng Trung) đề cập đến những VPN yêu cầu phí đăng ký hàng tháng (hoặc hàng năm). Điều mà nhiều trang web không thể nói với bạn là ngay cả VPN trả phí cũng không hoạt động 100%. Thông thường, các VPN đang trong một cuộc chạy đua vũ trang với Great Firewall. Khi Tường lửa thực hiện cập nhật thuật toán để chặn VPN, VPN sẽ tham gia vào một cuộc tranh giành thời gian để bỏ chặn chính nó. Trong thời gian đó, VPN sẽ không thể truy cập công khai. Điều đó đang được nói, VPN trả phí có nhiều tùy chọn máy chủ hơn nên nhiều khả năng nó có thể kết nối thành công với một trong những máy chủ đó, so với VPN miễn phí thường chỉ có một vài vị trí máy chủ.
PureVPN là lựa chọn hàng đầu của chúng tôi cho VPN trả phí do khả năng chi trả và hồ sơ theo dõi của nó.
PureVPN có một bộ máy chủ đặc biệt được Tối ưu hóa cho Trung Quốc, cho phép người dùng bỏ qua Great Firewall của Trung Quốc một cách hiệu quả và tự động. Trong trường hợp Tường lửa bị chặn mạnh, chỉ cần liên hệ với bộ phận hỗ trợ PureVPN rất nhạy. Sau đó, họ sẽ hướng dẫn bạn thực hiện các bước thủ công để kết nối với máy chủ, trong khi họ sửa ứng dụng chính của họ. (Tôi đã thử điều này trước đây.)
Đăng ký PureVPN bằng liên kết PureVPN chính thức này.
Khuyến mãi: Sử dụng mã phiếu giảm giá: discount10 để được giảm thêm 10% khi đăng ký PureVPN.
NordVPN luôn được xếp hạng hàng đầu trong số tất cả các VPN trực tuyến. NordVPN có trụ sở tại Panama, nơi không có luật lưu giữ dữ liệu bắt buộc nên họ hoàn toàn không lưu trữ nhật ký.
NordVPN cũng có chức năng các máy chủ bị che khuất trong các ứng dụng khác.
Đăng ký NordVPN bằng liên kết NordVPN chính thức này.
Nhiều trang web không cho bạn biết điều này, nhưng vào năm 2019, ngay cả VPN trả phí cũng không hoạt động 100% tại Trung Quốc. Ngoài ra, nó phụ thuộc vào thành phố, đôi khi nó hoạt động ở Bắc Kinh nhưng không phải Thượng Hải và ngược lại. Các VPN tốt như trên hoạt động liên tục để cập nhật thuật toán của họ để giảm thiểu thời gian chết. Bạn chắc chắn vẫn muốn bổ sung VPN trả phí của mình với 1 hoặc 2 VPN miễn phí để phục vụ như một bản sao lưu.
Phương pháp hoàn hảo để vượt qua Bức tường lửa vĩ đại của Trung Quốc là sử dụng thẻ SIM Hồng Kông-Ma Cao. Điều này là do mặc dù Hồng Kông và Ma Cao là một phần của Trung Quốc, nhưng không có Tường lửa ở đó theo luật của One One, Two Systems. Tóm lại, bạn chắc chắn sẽ có thể truy cập Facebook, WhatsApp, Google bằng thẻ SIM này.
Đây là một tùy chọn tuyệt vời nếu bạn là người dùng internet nhẹ đến trung bình (thẻ SIM có giới hạn dữ liệu nhanh là 6 GB, sau đó bạn vẫn có dữ liệu nhưng tốc độ giảm xuống còn 128kb / giây).
Mẹo: Bạn nên mua thẻ SIM từ China Unicom vì đây là một trong những công ty viễn thông lớn nhất và đáng tin cậy nhất ở Trung Quốc.

中国ではいくつかの重要なWebサイトがブロックされていることはよく知られています。
トファイアウォールは、ビジネスマン、学生、または単なる観光客であるかどうかにかかわらず、ほとんどの人にとって不便な多くの重要なサービスをブロックしています。 ファイアウォールがより強力になり、多くのVPNが以前ほどうまく機能しないため、近年(2019年以降)悪化しています。
この包括的なガイドでは、中国のグレートファイアウォールをバイパスし、Google、YouTube、Facebookなどに接続するのに役立つさまざまなオプション(VPNなど)について説明します。 無料サービスと有料サービス、および非VPNソリューションが含まれます。
***非常に重要:無料または有料のすべてのVPNは、中国に入る前にダウンロードして設定する必要があります。 中国に入国すると、VPNでアカウントをダウンロードまたは設定できない場合があります。
ほとんどのWebサイトでは、無料VPNについては何のメリット(手数料)も得られないため、無料VPNについては説明していません。 ここでは、信頼できる信頼できる無料のVPNのみをお勧めします。 データを盗んだり漏洩したりする可能性のある日陰の「無料の」VPNが存在することに注意してください。 以下の無料VPNでは、クレジットカードデータは必要ありません。
***重要:無料のVPNのみに依存している場合は、2つまたは3つの選択肢をダウンロードして設定することをお勧めします。 これは、通常、無料のVPNは安定性が低く、サーバーの場所が少ないためにブロックされる傾向があるためです。
実際の専門会社からの非常にまともな無料VPN。 毎月リセットされる約10 GBの無料のデータ帯域幅が得られ、友達にツイートしたり紹介したりすることでさらにデータを取得できる可能性があります。

私は個人的に中国のさまざまな都市でWindscribeの無料版を試してみましたが、それは(ほとんどの場合)動作します。 ただし、完全な接続を期待しないでください。 無料のWindscribeを使用する場合は、Windscribeの公式Webサイトでサインアップしてください。
TunnelBearは、クレジットカード情報を必要としない無料プラン(毎月500 MB)も提供しています。 私の経験では、Windscribe FreeはTunnelBear freeよりも優れています(接続の可能性とサーバーの場所の数に基づきます)。 ただし、そうは言っても、Windscribeが接続できないのに、TunnelBearはいつでも接続できることが非常によく起こります。 したがって、Free WindscribeとTunnelBearの両方を入手することをお勧めします。
Lantern VPNは、VPNではなく、「ピアネットワーク共有」ツールという意味でユニークです。 VPNとは動作が異なるため、他のVPNがブロックされている間はブロックされない場合があります。 Lanternには無料オプション(URL:https://getlantern.org/)があり、中国にいる間に制限付きウェブサイトを閲覧できます。
有料版(Lantern Pro)にアップグレードすることにした場合、より多くのデータとより高速な速度が得られます。 私のコードYJVD2WTを使用して、サインアップすると3か月間無料で利用できます!
Free VPNルートを利用する場合は、複数の選択肢が必要であることを強調することはできません。 中国に足を踏み入れる前に、上記の3つの無料VPNをすべてダウンロードしてセットアップすることを強くお勧めします。
有料VPN(中国語の翻訳)は、月間(または年単位)のサブスクリプション料金が必要なVPNを指します。多くのサイトがあなたに言っていないのは、有料VPNでさえ100%動作しないということです。通常、VPNはGreat Firewallとの軍拡競争にあります。ファイアウォールがVPNをブロックするためにアルゴリズムの更新を行うと、VPNはそれ自体のブロックを解除するためのタイムスクランブルを行います。その間、VPNは公開されません。そうは言っても、有料のVPNにはより多くのサーバーオプションがあるため、通常はサーバーの数が少ない無料のVPNと比較して、それらのサーバーの1つに正常に接続できる可能性が高くなります。
PureVPNは、手頃な価格と実績により、有料VPNの最高の選択肢です。
PureVPNには、特別な「中国向けに最適化された」サーバーセットがあり、ユーザーは中国のグレートファイアウォールを効果的かつ自動的にバイパスできます。ファイアウォールによる激しいブロッキングが発生した場合は、PureVPNサポートにお問い合わせください。次に、メインアプリを修正しながら、サーバーに接続するためのアドホックな手動手順を指示します。 (私は以前これを試しました。)
この公式PureVPNリンクを使用してPureVPNにサインアップしてください。
プロモーション:クーポンコード:discount10を使用して、PureVPNサブスクリプションをさらに10%割引します。
NordVPNは、すべてのオンラインVPNの中で常にトップにランクされています。 NordVPNはパナマに本拠を置いていますが、パナマには必須のデータ保持法がないため、ログは絶対に保存されません。
NordVPNには、ユーザーのトラフィックを偽装してファイアウォールで検出されないようにする「難読化サーバー」機能もあります。
この公式のNordVPNリンクを使用してNordVPNにサインアップしてください。
多くのサイトはこれを教えてくれませんが、2019年には中国では有料VPNでさえ100%動作しません。 また、都市にもよりますが、時には北京では機能しますが上海では機能せず、その逆もあります。 上記のような優れたVPNは、ダウンタイムを最小限に抑えるためにアルゴリズムを常に更新しています。 バックアップとして機能する無料のVPNを1つまたは2つ追加して、有料VPNを確実に補完する必要があります。
中国のグレートファイアウォールをバイパスする簡単な方法は、香港とマカオのSIMカードを使用することです。 これは、香港とマカオが中国の一部であるにもかかわらず、「1つの国、2つのシステム」法の下にファイアウォールが存在しないためです。 要約すると、このSIMカードを使用して、Facebook、WhatsApp、Googleに確実にアクセスできます。
軽度から中程度のインターネットユーザーの場合、これは優れたオプションです(SIMカードには6 GBの高速データ制限があり、その後はデータはありますが、速度は128kbpsに低下します)。
ヒント:SIMカードはChina Unicomから購入する必要があります。これは、中国で最大かつ最も信頼性の高い通信会社の1つです。

중국에서는 몇 가지 필수 웹 사이트가 차단되어 있습니다.
보시다시피, Great Firewall of China는 사업가, 학생 또는 단순한 관광객이든 대부분의 사람들에게 불편을 줄 수있는 많은 필수 서비스를 차단합니다. 방화벽이 훨씬 강력 해지고 많은 VPN이 제대로 작동하지 않아 최근 몇 년간 (2019 년 이후) 악화되었습니다.
이 포괄적 인 가이드에서는 중국의 방화벽을 우회하고 Google, YouTube, Facebook 등에 연결하는 데 도움이되는 다양한 옵션 (VPN 등)을 다룹니다. 무료 및 유료 서비스는 물론 비 VPN 솔루션도 포함됩니다.
*** 매우 중요 : 중국에 입국하기 전에 무료 또는 유료 VPN을 모두 다운로드하여 설정해야합니다. 중국에 입국하면 VPN에서 계정을 다운로드하거나 설정하지 못할 수 있습니다.
대부분의 웹 사이트는 무료 VPN에 대해 알려주지 않으므로 무료 VPN에 대해 알려주지 않습니다. 여기서는 신뢰할 수 있고 안정적인 무료 VPN 만 권장합니다. 데이터를 훔치거나 유출 할 가능성이있는 그늘진“무료”VPN이 있습니다. 아래의 무료 VPN에는 신용 카드 데이터가 필요하지 않습니다.
*** 중요 : 무료 VPN에만 의존하는 경우 2 개 또는 3 개의 대안을 다운로드하고 설정하는 것이 좋습니다. 서버 위치가 적을수록 무료 VPN은 일반적으로 안정성이 떨어지고 차단되기 쉽습니다.
실제 전문 회사에서 제공하는 매우 괜찮은 무료 VPN입니다. 매달 재설정되는 약 10GB의 무료 데이터 대역폭이 제공되며 친구를 트윗하거나 추천하여 더 많은 것을 얻을 수 있습니다.

나는 중국의 다른 도시에서 개인적으로 무료 버전의 Windscribe를 사용해 보았으며 (대부분) 작동합니다. 완벽한 연결을 기대하지 마십시오. Free Windscribe를 사용하기로 결정한 경우 공식 Windscribe 웹 사이트에서 가입하십시오.
TunnelBear는 또한 신용 카드 정보가 필요없는 무료 요금제 (매월 500MB)를 제공합니다. 내 경험에 따르면 Windscribe Free는 TunnelBear free (연결 기회 및 서버 위치 수 기준)보다 낫습니다. 그러나 Windscribe가 할 수없는 동안 언제라도 TunnelBear를 연결할 수 있다는 것은 매우 잘 알려진 사실입니다. 따라서 Free Windscribe와 TunnelBear를 모두 사용하는 것이 좋습니다.
랜턴 VPN은 VPN이 아니라 “피어 네트워크 공유”도구라는 점에서 독특합니다. VPN과 다르게 작동하기 때문에 다른 VPN이 차단 된 동안에는 차단되지 않을 수 있습니다. Lantern에는 중국에있는 동안 제한된 웹 사이트를 탐색 할 수있는 무료 옵션 (URL : https://getlantern.org/)이 있습니다.
유료 버전 (Lantern Pro)으로 업그레이드하기로 결정하면 더 많은 데이터와 더 빠른 속도를 얻을 수 있습니다. 내 코드 YJVD2WT를 사용하고 가입하면 3 개월 무료로 이용할 수 있습니다!
무료 VPN 경로를 사용하는 경우 하나 이상의 선택이 필요하다는 것은 아무리 강조해도 지나치지 않습니다. 중국에 들어가기 전에 위의 3 가지 무료 VPN을 모두 다운로드하여 설정하는 것이 좋습니다.
유료 VPN (중국어)은 월간 (또는 연간) 가입비가 필요한 VPN을 나타냅니다. 많은 사이트에서 사용자에게 알리지 않는 것은 유료 VPN도 100 % 작동하지 않는다는 것입니다. 일반적으로 VPN은 Great Firewall과 경쟁이 치열합니다. 방화벽이 VPN을 차단하기 위해 알고리즘을 업데이트하면 VPN은 자체적으로 차단을 해제하기 위해 시간이 걸리게됩니다. 이 기간 동안 대중은 VPN에 액세스 할 수 없습니다. 즉, 유료 VPN에는 더 많은 서버 옵션이 있으므로 일반적으로 몇 개의 서버 위치 만있는 무료 VPN에 비해 해당 서버 중 하나에 성공적으로 연결할 수 있습니다.
PureVPN은 합리적인 가격과 실적으로 인해 유료 VPN을위한 최고의 선택입니다.
PureVPN에는 특별한 “중국에 최적화 된”서버 세트가 있으며,이를 통해 사용자는 중국의 방화벽을 효과적으로 자동으로 우회 할 수 있습니다. 방화벽에 의한 강력한 차단의 경우, 매우 반응이 빠른 PureVPN 지원에 문의하십시오. 그런 다음 메인 앱을 수정하는 동안 서버에 연결하기 위해 수동 단계를 임시로 안내합니다. (나는 전에 이것을 시도했다.)
이 공식 PureVPN 링크를 사용하여 PureVPN에 가입하십시오.
프로모션 : 쿠폰 코드 : discount10을 사용하여 PureVPN 구독시 추가 10 % 할인을 받으십시오.
NordVPN은 온라인에서 모든 VPN 중에서 지속적으로 최고 순위를 차지합니다. NordVPN은 필수 데이터 보존법이 없으므로 파나마를 기반으로하므로 로그를 절대 저장하지 않습니다.
NordVPN에는 방화벽에 의해 탐지되는 것을 피하기 위해 사용자의 트래픽을 위장하는 “”난독 화 된 서버 “기능도 있습니다.
이 공식 NordVPN 링크를 사용하여 NordVPN에 가입하십시오.
많은 사이트에서이를 알려주지 않지만 2019 년에는 유료 VPN도 중국에서 100 % 작동하지 않습니다. 또한 도시에 따라 다르며 때로는 베이징에서 작동하지만 상하이에서는 작동하지 않으며 그 반대도 마찬가지입니다. 위와 같은 우수한 VPN은 다운 타임을 최소화하기 위해 알고리즘을 지속적으로 업데이트합니다. 여전히 유료 VPN을 1 개 또는 2 개의 무료 VPN으로 보완하여 백업으로 사용할 수 있습니다.
중국의 방화벽을 우회하는 가장 확실한 방법은 홍콩-마카오 SIM 카드를 사용하는 것입니다. 홍콩과 마카오는 중국의 일부이지만“일 국가, 두 시스템”법에 따라 방화벽이 없기 때문입니다. 요약하면이 SIM 카드를 사용하여 Facebook, WhatsApp, Google에 확실히 액세스 할 수 있습니다.
이 방법은 인터넷 사용자가 보통이거나 중간 정도 인 사용자 (SIM 카드의 데이터 제한이 6GB로 빠른 후에도 데이터는 있지만 속도는 128kbps로 감소) 인 경우 탁월한 옵션입니다.
팁 : China Unicom은 중국에서 가장 크고 가장 안정적인 통신 회사 중 하나이므로 SIM 카드를 구입해야합니다.

Hupan Garden, Jack Ma’s Hangzhou apartment in 1999, is where it all began for Alibaba. On the eve of the company’s 20th birthday, we took Ma back to Hupan to reflect on those early days and what it took to build Alibaba into what it is today.
Es bien sabido que varios sitios web esenciales están bloqueados en China:
Como puede ver, el Gran Cortafuegos de China bloquea muchos servicios esenciales que molestarán a la mayoría de las personas, ya sea usted un hombre de negocios, un estudiante o simplemente un turista casual. Ha empeorado en los últimos años (2019 en adelante) ya que el Firewall se ha vuelto mucho más fuerte y muchas VPN no funcionan tan bien como lo hicieron.
En esta guía completa, cubriremos una variedad de opciones (VPN y más) que lo ayudarán a evitar el Gran Cortafuegos de China y conectarse a Google, YouTube, Facebook, etc. Incluimos servicios gratuitos y de pago, así como soluciones que no son de VPN.
*** Muy importante: todas las VPN, ya sean gratuitas o de pago, deben descargarse y configurarse antes de ingresar a China. Una vez que ingrese a China, es posible que no pueda descargar o configurar una cuenta en la VPN.
La mayoría de los sitios web no le informan sobre las VPN gratuitas, ya que no obtienen ningún beneficio (comisión) al hacerlo. Aquí solo recomendaremos VPN gratuitas confiables y confiables. Tenga en cuenta que existen algunas VPN “gratuitas” con sombra que tienen el potencial de robar o filtrar sus datos. Las siguientes VPN gratuitas no requieren ningún dato de tarjeta de crédito.
*** Importante: si solo confía en VPN gratuitas, se recomienda descargar y configurar 2 o 3 alternativas. Esto se debe a que las VPN gratuitas suelen ser menos estables y más propensas a bloquearse, ya que hay menos ubicaciones de servidor.
Una VPN gratuita muy decente que es de una compañía profesional real. Obtiene alrededor de 10 GB de ancho de banda de datos gratis que se restablece cada mes, con el potencial de obtener más tuiteando o refiriéndose a sus amigos.

He probado personalmente la versión gratuita de Windscribe en diferentes ciudades de China, y funciona (la mayoría de las veces). Sin embargo, no esperes una conexión perfecta. Si decide utilizar Free Windscribe, regístrese aquí en el sitio web oficial de Windscribe.
TunnelBear también proporciona un plan gratuito (500 MB mensuales) que no requiere ninguna información de su tarjeta de crédito. Según mi experiencia, Windscribe Free es mejor que TunnelBear gratis (según la posibilidad de conexión y el número de ubicaciones del servidor). Sin embargo, dicho esto, es muy posible que en cualquier momento dado, TunnelBear se pueda conectar mientras que Windscribe no. Por lo tanto, la recomendación es obtener Free Windscribe y TunnelBear.
Lantern VPN es única en el sentido de que no es una VPN, sino más bien una herramienta de “intercambio de redes entre pares”. Dado que funciona de manera diferente a una VPN, podría darse el caso de que no esté bloqueado mientras que otras VPN sí lo están. Lantern tiene una opción gratuita (URL: https://getlantern.org/) que le permite navegar por sitios web restringidos mientras está en China.
Si decide actualizar a la versión paga (Lantern Pro), obtendrá más datos y una velocidad más rápida. ¡Use mi código YJVD2WT y obtenga 3 meses gratis cuando se registre!
No se puede enfatizar demasiado que necesita más de 1 opción si va a la ruta VPN gratuita. Se recomienda encarecidamente que descargue y configure todas las 3 VPN gratuitas anteriores antes de ingresar a China.
Las VPN de pago (翻墙 软件 en chino) se refieren a aquellas que requieren una tarifa de suscripción mensual (o anual). Lo que muchos sitios no le dicen es que incluso las VPN de pago no funcionan al 100%. Por lo general, las VPN están en una carrera armamentista con el Gran Firewall. Una vez que el firewall realiza una actualización del algoritmo para bloquear la VPN, la VPN se comprometerá en una lucha de tiempo para desbloquearse. Durante ese tiempo, la VPN no será accesible al público. Dicho esto, las VPN de pago tienen más opciones de servidor, por lo que es más probable que pueda conectarse con éxito a uno de esos servidores, en comparación con las VPN gratuitas que generalmente solo tienen unas pocas ubicaciones de servidor.
PureVPN es nuestra mejor opción para VPN de pago debido a su asequibilidad y su historial.
PureVPN tiene un conjunto especial de servidores “Optimizado para China”, que permiten a los usuarios evitar el Gran Firewall de China de manera efectiva y automática. En el caso de un bloqueo intenso por parte del Firewall, solo contacte al soporte de PureVPN que es muy receptivo. Luego lo guiarán a pasos manuales ad hoc para conectarse a un servidor, mientras arreglan su aplicación principal. (He intentado esto antes).

NordVPN se clasifica constantemente como el mejor entre todas las VPN en línea. NordVPN tiene su sede en Panamá, que no tiene una ley de retención de datos obligatoria, por lo que no almacenan registros.
NordVPN también tiene la función de “servidores ofuscados” que disfraza el tráfico de un usuario para evitar que sea detectado por el cortafuegos.
Regístrese en NordVPN utilizando este enlace oficial de NordVPN.
Muchos sitios no te dicen esto, pero en 2019 incluso las VPN pagas no funcionan al 100% en China. También depende de la ciudad, a veces funciona en Beijing pero no en Shanghai y viceversa. Las buenas VPN como las anteriores funcionan constantemente para actualizar su algoritmo y minimizar el tiempo de inactividad. Definitivamente, querrás complementar tu VPN de pago con 1 o 2 VPN gratuitas para que sirvan como respaldo.
El método infalible de evitar el Gran Firewall de China es usar una tarjeta SIM de Hong Kong-Macao. Esto se debe a que aunque Hong Kong y Macao son parte de China, no existe un cortafuegos en virtud de la ley “Un país, dos sistemas”. En resumen, definitivamente podrá acceder a Facebook, WhatsApp, Google usando esta tarjeta SIM.
Esta es una excelente opción si es un usuario de Internet ligero a moderado (la tarjeta SIM tiene un límite de datos rápido de 6 GB, después de lo cual todavía tiene datos, pero la velocidad se reduce a 128 kbps).
Consejo: debe comprar la tarjeta SIM de China Unicom, ya que es una de las compañías de telecomunicaciones más grandes y confiables de China.

众所周知,中国有几个重要网站被封锁:
正如您所看到的,中国的防火墙阻止了许多基本服务,这些服务会给大多数人带来不便,无论您是商人,学生还是休闲旅游者。 近年来(2019年以后)它已经恶化,因为防火墙变得越来越强大,许多VPN不能像以前那样运行良好。
在本综合指南中,我们将介绍各种选项(VPN等),它们将帮助您绕过中国的防火墙,并连接到谷歌,YouTube,Facebook等。 我们包括免费和付费服务,以及非VPN解决方案。
***非常重要:在您进入中国之前,必须下载并设置所有免费或付费的VPN。 进入中国后,您可能无法在VPN上下载或设置帐户。
大多数网站都没有告诉你有关免费VPN的事情,因为他们没有从中获益(佣金)。 我们只会在此推荐值得信赖,可靠的免费VPN。 请注意,存在一些可能会窃取或泄露数据的阴影“免费”VPN。 以下免费VPN不需要任何信用卡数据。
***重要提示:如果您只依赖Free VPN,建议下载并设置2或3个备选方案。 这是因为Free VPN通常不太稳定,并且由于服务器位置较少而更容易被阻止。
一个非常体面的免费VPN,来自一个真正的专业公司。 您可以获得大约10 GB的免费数据带宽,每月可以重置,有可能通过推特或引用您的朋友获得更多。

我亲自在中国的不同城市尝试过Windscribe的免费版本,它的工作原理(大部分时间都是如此)。 不要指望完美连接。 如果您决定使用免费Windscribe,请在Windscribe官方网站上注册。
TunnelBear还提供免费计划(每月500 MB),不需要您提供任何信用卡信息。根据我的经验,Windscribe Free比TunnelBear更好(基于连接的机会和服务器位置的数量)。然而,话虽如此,很可能会发生在任何给定时间,TunnelBear可以连接,而Windscribe不能。因此,建议同时获得Free Windscribe和TunnelBear。
Lantern VPN在某种意义上是独一无二的,它不是VPN,而是“对等网络共享”工具。由于它与VPN的工作方式不同,因此可能会出现其他VPN无法阻止的情况。 Lantern有一个免费选项(URL:https://getlantern.org/),允许您在中国浏览受限制的网站。
如果您决定升级到付费版本(Lantern Pro),您将获得更多数据和更快的速度。使用我的代码YJVD2WT,并在注册时免费获得3个月!
如果你要使用免费VPN路由,那么你肯定需要多于一个选择。强烈建议您在踏入中国之前下载并设置上述所有3个免费VPN。
付费VPN(翻译软件,中文)是指那些需要每月(或每年)订阅费用的人。 许多网站没有告诉你的是,即使付费VPN也无法100%运行。 通常,VPN与Great Firewall进行军备竞赛。 一旦防火墙进行算法更新以阻止VPN,VPN将进行时间加扰以解锁自身。 在此期间,公众无法访问VPN。 话虽如此,付费VPN有更多的服务器选项,因此与通常只有少量服务器位置的免费VPN相比,它更有可能成功连接到其中一台服务器。
PureVPN是付费VPN的首选,因为它具有可承受性和良好的记录。
PureVPN拥有一套特殊的“中国优化”服务器,可以让用户有效,自动地绕过中国的防火墙。 如果防火墙严重阻塞,只需联系PureVPN支持,该支持非常敏感。 然后,他们将指导您进行特定的手动步骤以连接到服务器,同时修复他们的主应用程序。 (我以前试过这个。)

NordVPN一直在所有VPN在线中排名第一。 NordVPN位于巴拿马,没有强制数据保留法,因此绝对不存储日志。
NordVPN还具有“混淆服务器”功能,可以伪装用户的流量,以更好地避免被防火墙检测到。
使用此官方NordVPN链接注册NordVPN。
许多网站都没有告诉你这一点,但在2019年,即使付费VPN在中国也不能100%运作。 它也取决于城市,有时它在北京工作但不在上海工作,反之亦然。 像上面这样的好的VPN不断更新其算法以最大限度地减少停机时间。 您仍然肯定希望用1或2个免费VPN补充您的付费VPN作为备份。
绕过中国防火墙的万无一失的方法是使用港澳SIM卡。 这是因为即使香港和澳门是中国的一部分,根据“一国两制”法,也没有防火墙。 总之,您一定可以使用此SIM卡访问Facebook,WhatsApp,Google。
如果您是轻度到中度的互联网用户(SIM卡具有6 GB的快速数据限制,之后您仍然拥有数据但速度降低到128kbps),这是一个很好的选择。
提示:您应该从中国联通购买SIM卡,因为它是中国最大,最可靠的电信公司之一。

The Greatest China 30-Day Data SIM
English version of this page: Complete Guide to VPN in China
It is well-known that several essential websites are blocked in China:
As you can see, the Great Firewall of China blocks many essential services that will inconvenience most people, whether you are a businessman, student, or just a casual tourist. It has worsened in recent years (2019 onwards) as the Firewall has gotten much stronger and many VPNs do not work as well as they did.
In this comprehensive guide, we will cover a variety of options (VPNs and more) that will help you bypass the Great Firewall of China, and connect to Google, YouTube, Facebook, et cetera. We include Free as well as Paid services, as well as non-VPN solutions.
***Very Important: All the VPNs be it free or paid must be downloaded and set up before you enter China. Once you enter China, you may not be able to download or set up an account on the VPN.
Most websites do not tell you about Free VPNs as they gain no benefit (commission) from doing so. We will only recommend trusted, reliable free VPNs here. Do note that there exists some shady “free” VPNs that have the potential to steal or leak your data. The below Free VPNs do not require any credit card data.
***Important: If you are only relying on Free VPNs, it is recommended to download and set up 2 or 3 alternatives. This is because Free VPNs are usually less stable and more prone to be blocked as there are fewer server locations.
A very decent Free VPN that is from a actual professional company. You get around 10 GB free data bandwidth that resets each month, with potential to get more by tweeting or referring to your friends.
Windscribe 10 GB free with potential to get more just by Tweeting on Twitter.I have personally tried the Free version of Windscribe in different cities in China, and it works (most of the time). Do not expect perfect connection though. If you decide to go with Free Windscribe, sign up here at the official Windscribe website.
TunnelBear also provides a free plan (500 MB monthly) that does not require any credit card info from you. Based on my experience, Windscribe Free is better than TunnelBear free (based on chance of connection, and number of server locations). However, that being said, it can very well occur that at any given time, TunnelBear can connect while Windscribe cannot. Hence, the recommendation is to get both Free Windscribe and TunnelBear.
Lantern VPN is unique in the sense that it is not a VPN, but rather a “peer network sharing” tool. Since it works differently from a VPN, it could be the case that it is not blocked while other VPNs are. Lantern has a Free option (URL: https://getlantern.org/) which allows you to browse restricted websites while in China.
If you decide to upgrade to the paid version (Lantern Pro), you get more data and faster speed. Use my code YJVD2WT and get 3 months free when you sign up!
It cannot be overemphasized that you need more than 1 choice if you are going the Free VPN route. It is highly recommended that you download and setup all of the above 3 Free VPNs before stepping foot into China.
Paid VPNs (翻墙软件 in Chinese) refer to those that require a monthly (or yearly) subscription fee. What many sites don’t tell you is that even Paid VPNs do not work 100%. Typically the VPNs are in an arms race with the Great Firewall. Once the Firewall makes an algorithm update to block the VPN, the VPN will engage in a time scramble to unblock itself. During that time, the VPN will not be accessible to the public. That being said, paid VPNs have more server options so it is more likely that it can successfully connect to one of those servers, compared to free VPNs which typically only have a few server locations.
PureVPN is our top choice for Paid VPNs due to its affordability and its track record.
PureVPN has a special “Optimized for China” set of servers, which allow users to bypass the Great Firewall of China effectively and automatically. In the event of intense blocking by the Firewall, just contact the PureVPN support which is very responsive. They will then direct you to adhoc manual steps to connect to a server, while they fix their main app. (I have tried this before.)

NordVPN is consistently ranked top among all VPNs online. NordVPN is based in Panama which has no mandatory data retention law so they absolutely do not store logs.
NordVPN also has the ““obfuscated servers” function which disguises a user’s traffic to better avoid it being detected by the Firewall.
Sign up for NordVPN using this official NordVPN link.
Many sites don’t tell you this, but in 2019 even Paid VPNs do not work 100% in China. Also it depends on the city, sometimes it works in Beijing but not Shanghai and vice versa. Good VPNs like the above work constantly to update their algorithm to minimize the downtime. You would still definitely want to supplement your Paid VPN with 1 or 2 Free VPNs to serve as backup.
The foolproof method of bypassing the Great Firewall of China is to use a Hong Kong-Macau SIM card. This is because even though Hongkong and Macau are part of China, there is no Firewall there under the “One Country, Two Systems” law. In summary, you will definitely be able to access Facebook, WhatsApp, Google using this SIM card.
This is an excellent option if you are a light to moderate internet user (the SIM card has a fast data limit of 6 GB, after which you still have data but the speed is reduced to 128kbps).
Tip: You should purchase the SIM card from China Unicom as it is one of the largest and most reliable telecommunications company in China.

Today I just found out about the AGGREGATE function in Microsoft Excel, which allows you to find the sum, average, median, product and various other statistical numbers while ignoring NaN values.
The usual Excel function of AVERAGE will produce errors if any of the cells are invalid.
With AGGREGATE, for instance if we want to calculate the average (while ignoring invalid cells), we just type in the Excel formula
=AGGREGATE(1,6, [data])
Recently, World of Warcraft (WoW) classic is immensely popular once again. I previously played WoW classic (and the expansions Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King) up to level 80 for Gnome Mage. I can say that it is the most fun game that I have ever played. If I remember correctly, I played on Oceanic server “Thaurissan” and joined an Australian Guild named “Jetpack Ninjas”. At that time there was no Asia server (only North American and Oceanic servers).
The music theme for Stormwind (city of Humans) is one of my favorites.

It is an “open secret” last time that if you call the Singtel customer service hotline at 1688, they may give you a recontract voucher for you to get a new phone. In previous times it used to be as high as $100, then over the years it slowly reduced to $50. It seems that the voucher is gone now, for low usage customers (e.g. Combo 2 plan). That is, no more recontract voucher. That was my experience in September 2018. That being said, experiences may differ from user to user, you may still want to phone in to try your luck. The only reason I am still using Singtel is that the rest of my family is on the “Singtel Circle” plan.
Important Update: There is a new form of voucher, called the Singtel Referral Voucher, worth $100! Basically you switch to a new Combo Plan and get…

As most people will know by now, Singtel is cutting down the recontract voucher. Nowadays it is hard to get Singtel recontract voucher, or even if you get one the amount is very little compared to last time.
However, now there is a new deal of a whopping $100 voucher for Singtel Combo plans. It is via referral codes and promo codes. Click on the link on the top of this post (or see the bottom of the post for more details).

Step 1 is to create a Bash file (using any editor, even Notepad). Sample code:
#!/usr/bin/env bash python testing.py & python testingb.py &
The above code will run two Python files “testing.py” and “testingb.py” simultaneously. Add more python scripts if needed. The first line is called the “shebang” and signifies the computer to run bash (there are various versions but according to StackOverflow the above one is the best).
The above bash file can be saved to any name and any extension, say “bashfile.txt”.
Step 2 is to login to Terminal (Mac) or Putty (Windows).
Type:
chmod +x bashfile.txt
This will make the “bashfile.txt” executable.
Follow up by typing:
nohup ./bashfile.txt
This will run the “bashfile.txt” and its contents. The output will be put into a file called “nohup.out”. The “nohup” option is preferred for very long scripts since it will keep running even if the Terminal closes (due to broken connection or computer problems).
I was trying to learn how to run Python scripts on a (remote) server. Amazingly, none of the Google first page results were relevant to what I wanted to do.
After much research (and searching around on the web), the steps that made it work are:
That’s all to it!
The best tip to stay cool in the hot weather — Portable Air con (cheap). Recently, temperatures have been soaring consistently above 30 degrees Celsius in Singapore. For students, this is not conducive to studying (the human brain does not work well in such temperatures).
Singapore’s heat and humidity makes it quite unbearable to live without an air-conditioner. Especially for students who study, a hot and humid environment makes it harder to concentrate.
For long term purposes, most families will install a split aircon system like Mitsubishi Starmex.
WWW.QOO10.SG
However, for short term purposes (e.g. rental, or do not want the hassle of installing a permanent air-con), a portable aircon is the solution. A portable aircon will be enough to cool a small room (i.e. most HDB rooms and small Condo rooms).
Whatever you do, DO NOT buy those mist fans, they are close to useless since Singapore’s humidity is already close to 90%. Those mist fans work well in hot and dry desert-like environments, possible like Saudi Arabia or Australia. They work by…

Recently saw an article on SUSS dropout rates:
About 20 per cent of SUSS’ parttime students do not make it to the second year. It currently has about 2,000 students who are at-risk, with a cumulative grade point average of 2.3 and below out of 5.
Students get an academic warning from the university if their cumulative grade point average falls below 2.0 out of 5 for the first time. The second time it happens, they are terminated. About 20 per cent of students in each intake receive an academic warning.
I think it is because of the difficult nature of part-time study; the students are actually adults who are working in the day, and studying in the evening/night. I can imagine that the daily routine can get quite tiring: 9am-5pm work and 6-10pm (?) lectures, not to mention homework and projects. It takes tremendous motivation and discipline to repeat the process for 3 to 4 years.

I have checked all the aquarium shops at the famous aquariums at Clementi Blk 328 (also known as C328 LFS). They do not carry the Python Water Changer or similar products such as the Aqueon Aquarium Water Changer.
Hence, the most probable way of getting the Python No Spill Water Changer is through Amazon:
25 Foot – Python No Spill Clean and Fill Aquarium Maintenance System
I have personally purchased it and it arrived in good condition within a reasonably quick time. Some photos are attached below, with a stack of A4 paper as a size comparison.
There is also a related product by Aqueon that works basically the same way. According to online reviews it is also good, but possibly not as good as Python.
Aqueon Aquarium Water Changer – 25 Feet
The benefits of these water changers is that they can not only fill the tank (a simple hose can already do that), but they can also draw water out of the tank, without using electricity. Basically they use suction from the tap (siphon effect) to draw water out.
Not sure why Singapore aquariums (LFS local fish shops) do not import these products as it seems quite a time saver and reduces the need for carrying buckets.
Note that online stores (such as Qoo10 or Lazada) may appear to carry these items, but at a much higher price than if you purchase from Amazon directly. The reason is that they are from dropshippers — when you order from them, they will act as the middleman and order from Amazon to send it to you.
A video to demonstrate how it works:
I used 4 eggs and 1 small ripe avocado in this recipe. You can adjust it according to your preference, use more eggs, less avocado or less eggs and more avocado.
They are super easy to make and healthy too.
Sending your child to nursery can be a very stressful decision. In fact, it is probably one of the most important decisions you will have to make for your child after he is born.
After all, the learning environment that they are exposed to at such a young age can have a significant impact on their long-term development. As education is so crucial for all children, it is critical that you dedicate the appropriate amount of thought to finding the right nursery for your child.
To help you with the search (it can certainly be an overwhelming one!), here are three essential things to look for when looking for the right nursery for your child.
First and foremost, you want to ensure that you are sending your child to a nursery that provides a safe and stimulating environment. Children who are under age three need to be cared for in a manner that is different to what is required for older children, which is why it is advisable to send your child to a nursery that is safe and offers a stimulating environment where your child can develop and thrive.
Take, for example, a nursery which is one of the top nurseries in Dubai. Here, children are not only in a safe environment but also in one that encourages them to move freely. The facilities ensure that there is the appropriate space for all parts of the curriculum to happen, as well as areas where children can be creative and use their imagination. Interestingly, these areas are designed to link in with “real-life experiences.”
More than just classroom areas, you want your nursery to have outdoor play areas so they can move and explore, as well as an indoor area with equipment for them to develop their physical balance and coordination.
As you may be able to tell, the key to finding a great nursery is to ensure that it has a wide array of facilities and offerings. However, the most crucial offering it must have is a strong curriculum as it is the curriculum that will be the backbone of your child’s experience at the nursery.
If you are living overseas, you may want to look for a British nursery in Dubai (or its equivalent) to ensure that your child is receiving the similar standard of a core curriculum that is based on the UK national curriculum.
When choosing between nurseries, make sure to take into consideration whether or not the staff administers the curriculum to each child’s unique learning needs and if they have a whole array of books and supplies that embrace all aspects of the curriculum. Ideally, the nursery you choose will offer extra-curricular activities and art classes such as music and dance intended to help your child develop their language, movement, and rhythm skills.
Undoubtedly, the best way for young children to learn is through play-based approaches.
More than just helping them gain basic knowledge, creative play promotes children’s social, cognitive, and physical development. Furthermore, activities that encourage children to be creative assist them in developing essential skills needed to interact, work, and cooperate with other human beings — yes, even at their age!
Therefore, when you are looking at potential nurseries, make sure to ask the staff how they utilize play and what they do to encourage the development of creativity. Additionally, you can ask them specifically how they structure the time for individual children’s interests. Last, but not least, pay attention to whether staff talk frequently to the children, even the younger ones, as this is critical to the development of the children’s communication and language skills.
Have you recently started looking at nurseries for your child? If so, what challenges are you facing when trying to identify which is the right one?
Alternatively, if you have already been through the process, what tips do you have to share with other parents who are currently struggling?
Let us start a conversation in the comments below!
Dunman High is a good school that has a very good school culture. It is strong in several CCAs (Co-curricular activities). Its Chinese Orchestra is exceptionally good (and large in terms of numbers), in fact most likely the top in Singapore among Secondary Schools, throughout the history of Singapore.
According to reliable sources in Kiasuparents.com, Dunman High may well conduct the DSA Interview in Chinese, as a surprise, to test how the child reacts. This is also in line with the strong Chinese culture in Dunman High.
Quote 1: Hi All, congrad (sic) to all parents who have already got confirm CO. For those who are still going through the interviews just wanted to give a heads up to DD that are interviewing for SAP schools. My DD went to interview at DHS for sport and was asked to do the interview in Mandarin which caught her off guard. Unfortunately, she was only able to converse 50% of the interview in Mandarin but we were proud that she persisted instead of freezing up ..”
Source: KiasuparentsQuote 2: “Yes, Dino.
Dunman High interview for DSA both Western music and Chinese music section, were conducted in Mandarin. I shared this at DHS website
https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/foru … start=3990
My friend’s child is a Singapore citizen. Luckily, child could converse in Mandarin fluently. On that day for music interview, other candidates were very nervous. One interviewee asked politely, if others can go first, before his (her) turn, because he (she) was so nervous, wasn’t ready. He (she) was still flipping through and reading his (her) interview notes.
Come to think of it, how about the other way round ? Not sure if interviewers at DHS interview candidate in English, ie. the other way round instead, if the DSA applicant (interviewee) happen to be a foreigner, from China, just to test and assess their level of proficiency in English Oral conversation ?
Hence, the conclusion is that the student needs to brush up more on Chinese / Mandarin skills (possibly reading some idioms or poetry) in order to prepare well for the Dunman High DSA Interview.
A favorite DSA Question may be to ask “What is your favorite Chinese book?“. It is good to make sure that your child has read at least one Chinese book and can conduct a decent conversation about it.
Since Dunman High can conduct its DSA Interview in Chinese/Mandarin, it is reasonable to expect that many SAP schools with strong Chinese culture may well do the same. The key idea may be to surprise the child so as to take him/her out of any home-prepared preparation, and make it more natural as opposed to memorizing a pre-determined script written by the parents.
For instance, some of the SAP schools with strong Chinese culture are:
The above schools are all good schools that either already have DSA or may be soon in line to adopt a DSA (Direct School Admission) program.
Hence, for the above schools, it is wise to prepare and practice the DSA Interview in both languages — English and Chinese.
This is another bad news for purely English-speaking kids who are not good in Chinese (Mother Tongue), since they may be disadvantaged in the DSA Interview which is conducted in Chinese/Mandarin.
Under the new PSLE System, we have already analyzed that the most disadvantaged students are the English-Educated Kid and the Math/Science Whiz.
It may not be too late though, to brush up on one’s Chinese. Usually children can pick up languages very fast compared to adults. The preparation may need to start at least several years before the DSA Interview.
Open Meta-Analyst (http://www.cebm.brown.edu/openmeta/#) is a free software developed by professors in Brown University, for Meta Analysis.
Previously we reviewed another free software RevMan5. RevMan5 is very good at doing meta analysis with placebo control groups. What it is not very good at is doing single arm meta analysis, that is, for clinical trials without a control group.
Open Meta Analyst can do single-arm meta-analysis, with the benefit that it seems even easier and more user-friendly than RevMan (which is already quite good with a GUI).
There are some YouTube tutorials on how to use Open Meta Analyst to do analysis on RCTs (Randomized Clinical Trials) and more.
The user manual for Open Meta Analyst can be found at http://www.cebm.brown.edu/openmeta/doc/openMA_help.html. The good thing about Open Meta[Analyst] is that it supports both Windows and Macintosh.
According to many online reviews, an easy way to do Forest Plots (Forrest Plots) is supposedly to use the free RevMan software. RevMan (currently RevMan5) can be downloaded here. RevMan is a software geared towards medical statistical analysis.
RevMan is said to be the easiest method since at least it has a graphical user inferface (GUI). For total beginners, before even doing the Forest Plot, we need to learn how to enter the data into RevMan.
Overall, I think RevMan should be one of the easiest ways to do Forest Plots or meta-analysis. Furtheremore, the software is completely free. However, there is still a significant learning curve.
It’s a Korean style dish. I love almost all the food made from sticky rice.
For the sticky rice cake, I bought from supermarket. It’s vacuum pack. Sticky rice cake is very hard and dry. So first, I need to soak them in water and separate them. To make it easier, I also boil them in water for several mins until they get really big and fat and soft. Soak them in cold water and drain.
Prepare sauce: 2 tbsp Korean chili paste, 1/2 1 tbsp light soy sauce, 1/2 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp syrup. Mix them well.

Banana is one of my husband’s favorite fruit. But sometimes, He forgot to eat them, and banana got ripe very quickly. So I would use them to make smoothie or cake or bread.
This summer when we went back to my hometown, we brought so many walnut back. My mom just cracked them and store the shell-removed walnut in 2 large containers. My husband likes walnut, so he adds some in his yogurt. Yet, we still have a lot. So I tried to bake something with walnut and banana.
Ingredients:
Bananas 2
butter 1/2 cup
white sugar 1 cup
eggs 2
vanilla 1/2 tsp
flour 1 cup
baking soda 1 tsp
salt 1/2 tsp
cinnamon powder 1/2 tsp
chopped & toasted walnut 1 cup

The original spelling is “Forest plot”, the name refers to the forest of lines produced.
In September 1990, Richard Peto joked that the plot was named after a breast cancer researcher called Pat Forrest and as a result the name has sometimes been spelled “forrest plot”. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forest_plot
My husband doesn’t like seaweed. But I think seaweed is really good for health. Yet, he doesn’t say no to seaweed soup. So I made this soup for him.
Also pour in the water after boiling the ribs. Add more water if you want.
I cooked it for 2 hours. And just season with salt.
My husband loved it very much.

Chinese: 84 (AL 3)Total marks: 366 (Approx. 275 T-score)
Total AL: 8
With a “all-rounder”:
Math: 90 (AL 1)
Science: 90 (AL 1)
English: 90 (AL 1)
Chinese: 90 (AL 1)Total marks: 360 (Approx. 270 T-score)
Total AL: 4
The Math/Science whiz (total AL 8) will be getting double the score of the “all-rounder” (total AL 4), effectively eliminating his chance of entering the top schools. The irony is that the total marks of the Math/Science Whiz is a considerable 6 marks more than the “all-rounder”.
Under the old system, both are likely to get around the same T-score (approx. 270+), with the Math/Science whiz having a higher T-score.

SCGS (Singapore Chinese Girls’ School) follows the IP system, with students having the option to continue to Eunoia Junior College, the newest JC.
SCGS IP Mathematics is still split into E Maths (Elementary Mathematics) and A Maths (Additional Mathematics). Content-wise, it is quite similar to O level Mathematics, except that the order of topics taught can be quite arbitrary and up to the school teachers.
On paper, SCGS has few “exams” and has totally eliminated the midyear exams. In actual fact, there are still numerous tests just that they don’t use the word “exam”.
For example, a sample syllabus for SCGS’ A Math Block Test for Secondary 3 students (around July) is:
The syllabus for the E Math Block Test is:
The rule of my husband’s bento: there must be at least 1 meat dish.

Mathematics is all about presence of mind and high standard conceptual knowledge. These days, you have technological tools to perform the critical steps and provide you with 100% correct answers. When you talk about significant figures, students and other users normally make mistakes when they are not aware of the rules. If you don’t know about the regulations of determining significant figures, it would not be possible to come up with the correct answer.
Consider that you have the number 25020. How many significant digits does this number have? If someone does not have complete information about the rules, he would be confused about whether zero would be significant or not. On the other hand, someone who is clear about the rules would not have any trouble in reaching the correct answer.
In accordance with the regulations of significant figures, the zero between 5 and 2 would be significant. This is simply because it is placed between two significant numbers. The zero that is present in the end would not be counted as significant because there is no whole number after that. It is all about being aware of the correct regulations.
It takes a considerable span of time to determine the significant digits in a number. Even if you are well aware of the regulations, it is not an easy task after all. The use of a quality online calculator is an amazing option for users. The following points explain how you can benefit from this tool easily.
Determination of significant figures and rounding off are time consuming steps. If you have less time available, it would not be simple to get the conversion done in due course of time. The use of an online calculator provides a complete assurance that no time would be wasted.
Most users do not prefer technological tools because they do not want to spend money on paid versions. This is actually a dilemma for most people. First of all, it is hard to find a completely free tool. Although a lot of options promise to be free but the user determines the actual condition when he starts using them. This calculator is completely free and no conditions are applied on the users.
Even the thought of solving an assignment on significant figures can prove to be scary. These questions require a lot of concentration because students have to apply logic, implement the rules and perform other important steps to complete the questions. The Sig Fig calculator is a beneficial tool for all the students who want to submit correct assignments in due course of time.
Significant figures in a number are determined after using certain rules. For instance, in the number 23604, zero would be counted as a significant number because it is present between two significant digits. The use of a quality Sig Fig calculator is a good alternative for students because it helps them in saving time and producing accurate calculations.
