A news from China. Woman who suffers for mentally illness was locked up in small, rocky room for 13 years. She have been naked for all these year and never step out of her room as she act violently towards people around.
据村民讲被关者名叫董可妮，今年36岁，已婚，患有精神病，有一女一男两个孩子。女孩16岁，男孩13岁，今年都上初一。丈夫因其患病离家出走，很少回来。父亲今年73岁，得了脑梗塞，半身不遂。母亲66岁，患有慢性支气管哮喘、高血压。因为她发病时，对他人造成很大伤害，父母才把她关在里面，这么一关就关了13年。夏天她一丝不挂，冬天给她一个麻袋裹身。吃喝拉撒都在这间土坯房里。吃饭时给她用塑料袋送进去。说到这些，她的母亲流了泪。

I had watched this movie clip quite long time ago, but no matter how many times I watch, it still makes me sad. Do appreciate who you have around you and the precious moments you share with them.
As a science post-graduate student, I totally disagree Japanese keep killing whales to fulfill their own appetite with the excuse of carry out research. 
More than half of about 500 whales killed by Japan in Antarctic waters during the last southern summer were pregnant, the Humane Society International (HSI) charged Tuesday. Japan has used a research loophole to circumvent an international moratorium on commercial whaling but makes no secret of the fact that the meat eventually winds up on Japanese dinner plates.

As a Malaysian, it means a lot for us in this 50 years since 'Merdeka', are our country well-developing? I guess no one will agree about this.. Are our society acknowledged as a clean, polite, courtesy in this region? I pretty sure is not. But I am proud of what we have now although it is not satisfying but we will work it out. Although there are imbalance in our society ethnic but we will sure find the way out. This is how we survive, how we tolerate and blend in the country with various of cultural heritage. Although our neighbour country critics about us from time to time but who cares. Because of you, Malaysia, we are here, hopefully there will be more prosperous, stable and harmony after each passing day. Biar kita bekerjasama mencapai kemajuan and kesejahteraan!

1、准备好材料
2、配制碱性溶液
另外加一句 :有必要包着头吗? 有这么强腐蚀性吗?
3、将厚纸板泡入碱性溶液中
4、放置一段时间后，滤去上液。
5、剁碎……,
6、看看像不像猪肉
7、将真正的猪肉剁成肉末
8、将素菜、猪肉和纸板末按照一定比例配合
9、加入各种调料并搅拌
10, Oh Yeah
11、开始制作包子～
12. 和北京的一样的吧
13、强火加热12分钟……
14、大功告成！
看看是不是内馅和猪肉差不多的？
15、食用之前先喝一瓶醋，第一为了帮助消化，第二为了中和碱液～
16. 一个字 吃!!!!
17.口感竟然和真的包子差不多，除了一些纤维夹在牙缝比较难受～口感还是有点不如纯猪肉的……
可能是碱液的浸泡时间不够长，也许是浓度不够～
看来还有待进一步改善……
不过从外观上来看，你看得出哪个是纯猪肉的？那个是伪猪肉的包子吗？

日本人做的还不地道：
面粉要用增白剂超标的，
纸板要用从废品收购站买回来的，
泡纸板的NAOH要用重金属超标的工业原料，
肉要用死猪肉,或者瘟猪肉,或者双氧水漂白的死猫死狗肉，
配料：头发做的酱油，勾兑醋，地沟油，工业盐。
