            <title>Nowadays coffeeshops are unscrupulous</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4282659</link>
            <description>Many coffeeshop nowadays are selfish and greedy that they will charge you for not buying drinks. Even some shops dont allow you to order sky water or tea. When few people are sitting on a table  , all of them ordered food but only one drink is ordered , they charge a surchage to all people. For example, only one coffee drink is ordered , lets say it costs rm1.50 and the other four people dont want to order, these greedy bastards include a surcharge of rm0.50 to the other four people and the total for the one drink is rm3.50. Some even threaten you for not ordering. These coffeshops are like gangster organisations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have seen some foreigners getting bullied by the coffeshops owners for not ordering. He shouted and hurled derogatory words to them for  refusing to order drinks.  This practice is not used any country around the world. Only in malaysia that we are forced to buy drinks. This is unacceptable and this inappropriate  behavior should be punnished and taken actions by authorities. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is there any legal or government bodies that we can complain to and any actions that we as consumers should do to put these evils practice to end ?</description>

            <title>Chinese are Egyptian&amp;#39;s descendant</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3210313</link>
            <description>&lt;img src='http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd452/llingjie/sumeier.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2003, some 16 isolated symbols carved on tortoise shells had been discovered at Jiahu, an archaeological site within the Henan province of China, some bearing a striking resemblance to certain modern characters. Considering that the Jiahu internet site dates from about 6600 BC, it predates the earliest confirmed Chinese writing by more than 5,000 years. Some scholars have suggested that these symbols had been precursors of Chinese writing, but most preserve that the time gap is too great for a connection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not only pharaoh&amp;#39;s faces like chinese. On chinese history we can find a lot of records that share similarity with Ancient Egyptian&amp;#39;s history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sample one:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its called &amp;quot;YAO, Shun, Yu&amp;quot; for earliest three kings in Chinese frist dynasty &amp;quot;Xia&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iry-Hor or Ro (as read by Petrie) was a Predynastic pharaoh of ancient Egypt&lt;br /&gt;It&amp;#39;s read similar like &amp;quot;yao&amp;quot;. And Iry-Hor hieroglyph writing is two brids. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://img181.poco.cn/mypoco/myphoto/20110515/12/5678072620110515122007079.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ancient chinese writing &amp;quot;yao&amp;quot; is written like two brids.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://img181.poco.cn/mypoco/myphoto/20110515/12/5678072620110515122033050.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;next. Ka (pharaoh), also called as Sekhem Ka or Ka-Sekhen(it&amp;#39;s reading also like chinese &amp;quot;shun&amp;quot;). And we can find same writing for Ka (pharaoh)&amp;#39;s name on the vessel in Ancient chinese word&amp;#33;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd452/llingjie/shun01.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;chinese ancient word &amp;quot;shun&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://img181.poco.cn/mypoco/myphoto/20110515/12/5678072620110515122120080.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At last, King Narmer who was the first peason who unified ancient egypt on 3100 BC. In Narmer&amp;#39;s picture,  there is scorpion on it. And Chinese word &amp;quot;yu&amp;quot;&amp;#39;s ancient wrting is a scorpion too&amp;#33;&amp;#33;&amp;#33;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://img181.poco.cn/mypoco/myphoto/20110515/12/5678072620110515122141098.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also in chinese history, &amp;quot;YU&amp;quot; was the first king who unified china about 5000 years ago(that&amp;#39;s why china is said to have 5000 years history). And his son was his Successor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, Many proofs that points  &amp;quot;Iry-Hor&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Sekhem Ka&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Narmer&amp;quot; are the &amp;quot;YAO, Shun, YU&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://img181.poco.cn/mypoco/myphoto/20110515/12/5678072620110515122539070.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://img181.poco.cn/mypoco/myphoto/20110515/12/5678072620110515122605060.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://historum.com/speculative-history/24669-chinese-ancient-egyptian-s-descendants.html' target='_blank'&gt;http://historum.com/speculative-history/24...escendants.html&lt;/a&gt;</description>

            <title>Mystery of Jinn</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3033933</link>
            <description>&lt;!--QuoteBegin-king of fighter+Sep 11 2013, 12:38 AM--&gt;&lt;div class='quotetop'&gt;QUOTE(king of fighter &amp;#064; Sep 11 2013, 12:38 AM)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class='quotemain'&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEBegin--&gt;kalau dia ada belajar bahasa jepun dia akan tahu jepun bangga kata diaorang adalah &amp;#39;JIN&amp;#39;&lt;br /&gt;[right][snapback]63101273[/snapback][/right]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chinese as the name suggested Chin/ Shin = Jinn / Genie . Does it surprise you ? The jinn or genies, are spiritual creatures mentioned in the Qur&amp;#39;an and other Islamic texts who inhabit an unseen world in dimensions beyond the visible universe of humans. Together, the jinn, humans and angels make up the three sapient creations of God. The Qur&amp;#39;an mentions that the jinn are made of a smokeless and &amp;quot;scorching fire&amp;quot;, but also physical in nature, being able to interact physically with people and objects and likewise be acted upon. Like human beings, the jinn can also be good, evil, or neutrally benevolent and hence have freewill like humans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, they are often being misinterpreted demon / spirit, often appearing in human form, that when summoned by a person carries out the wishes of the summoner. They are actually demigods with superhuman powers depicted in ancient asia history who seemed evil and demonic at appearance but actually an angel at heart who have enlightened and can leave to be god but choose to continue to subsist in this physical lower realm because they are still attached to this world. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their advancement in technology and science have made them to create ancient highly spiritually civilisation such as atlantis, egypt, lemuria and etc but at the same time, many refused to evolve to be god by choice who faced destruction and demise of their civilization at between period of judgment. They were fallen gods who have done mistakes in gods world and had to be sent to this lower world (earth) to do rehabilitation and relive the cycle of human life . Many of them are living in oblivion because their powers are too destructive to be seen for fear their physical existence could cause chaos to the human order. Many of chinese heroes were originated from jinn such as guan yu who was said to have helped humanity and was conferred the honor to be deity and had left this world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/it/thumb/d/d9/Scinn.png/280px-Scinn.png' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;img src='http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120630112821/naruto/images/thumb/4/44/Shin_Released.png/180px-Shin_Released.png' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shin who was a skilled shinobi during his lifetime was contracted with impurities. He was reincarnated by Kabuto to fight in the Fourth Shinobi World War. (Right) Shin is freed from the Impure World Reincarnation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://treasuretroveblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/aladdin-cartoon.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The depiction of jin in aladdin, a servant who appears by magic and fulfils a person&amp;#39;s wishes. Notice that genie has similar haircut with ancient people of chin/ han who had always played the role of invisible guardian of humans such as indigenous tribes and were fierce and brutal like a dragon against evil forces of the nomadic groups.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://www.thefeaturedcreature.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/chinese-dragon-red.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The dragon race / rahab &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Jewish folklore, Rahab is the name of a sea-demon, a dragon of the waters, the &amp;quot;ruler of the sea&amp;quot;. Rahab is or was the angel of insolence and pride, responsible for shaking the waters and producing big waves; he is also responsible for the roaring of the sea. According to some sources, he was the guardian angel of Egypt, a position often designated to other angels such as Belial, Mastema, Samael and Uzza. Jin / Chin which is said to be originated from the dragon race which coincidentally shares similar mythology with rahab , the dragon is often mysteriously characterized as prideful and arrogant but it is an angel of destruction and chaos which guard against evil and dark forces on earth in times of need.</description>

            <title>The rapture is imminent &amp;#33;</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2961914</link>
            <description>&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Signs of the heaven&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://beforeitsnews.com/contributor/upload/226802/images/bmt2.png' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The two previous string of 4 blood red moons on Holy Days happened at very significant times: the rebirth of Israel, and the retaking of the Temple Mount in the 6 day war in 1967.  This next string of 4 blood red moons on Holy Days in 2014-2015, no doubt has similar highly significant prophetic importance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rev 6:12 says the blood red moons and darkening of the sun happens before the Day of the Lord. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During this century, tetrads occur at least six times, but what&amp;#39;s interesting is that the only string of four consecutive blood moons that coincide with God&amp;#39;s holy days of Passover in the spring and the autumn&amp;#39;s Feast of Tabernacles (also called Succoth) occurs between 2014 and 2015 on today&amp;#39;s Gregorian calendar.  The last time that four blood red moons occurred together was in 1967 and 1968 tied to Jerusalem recaptured by Israel.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This first rapture starts the 7 years of Tribulation.When Jesus comes, FEW will be ready, and MOST people, even most Christians, will be LEFT BEHIND&amp;#33; Some prophetic visions, have even showed entire congregations left behind&amp;#33; People will be bewildered when they find themselves left behind. They won&amp;#39;t believe that it has happened to them. There are countless movie that warned us of the event of rapture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;The world&amp;#39;s end&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[youtube]hFo7eJR2cvc[/youtube]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20 years after attempting an epic pub crawl, five childhood friends reunite when one of them becomes hell bent on trying the drinking marathon again. They are convinced to stage an encore by mate Gary King, a 40-year old man trapped at the cigarette end of his teens, who drags his reluctant pals to their home town and once again attempts to reach the fabled pub, The World&amp;#39;s End. As they attempt to reconcile the past and present, they realize the real struggle is for the future, not just theirs but humankind&amp;#39;s. Reaching The World&amp;#39;s End is the least of their worries. Blue colored &amp;#39;aliens&amp;#39; are depicted as people who have been accepted in heaven who tries to help remaining lost soul who are still in lower realms . However, unapologetic humans misunderstand their invitation and go on killing spree until being given final invitation before being left to face the world&amp;#39;s end because they havent let go of their past dealing. The movie specifically foretell of immaturity of human who do not wish to evolve and ascend to higher form being left out to face the destruction of wars and natural disasters of the lighting of zeus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;The crood&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://www.nilsyrapalo.com/pics/El%20miedo%20y%20la%20pel%C3%83%C2%ADcula%20The%20Croods.JPG' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wellness and beyond&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When their cave is destroyed, the Crood family is forced to embark on an epic adventure into a pre-historic world in search of a new home. With the help of a brash, know-it-all nomad named Guy, the Croods learn to conquer their fears and discover what it takes to survive and finally choose light over darkness. Their decision led them to a new world where peace, paradise and abundance are the characteristics of the new heaven which is only attainable through love, forgiveness and belief of existent of god. Before they took a leap of faith , sound of trumpets were blown to signal the time of the crood family to leave to meet and become part of god&amp;#39;s new creation. In spiritual term, it is salvation of rapture. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are other numerous movies such as this is the end,  RIPD, Now you see mee which talked about the four horsemen in upcoming events and etc. which the media are warning us through the network repeatedly so that receptive and conscious people are guided to the right path to salvation. So are you ready for the rapture ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

            <title>Han forms majority of japanese population today</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2954977</link>
            <description>&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Yamato made up 98% of japanese&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Japan is a famously homogeneous nation, with the vast majority (around 98%) identifying themselves as Japanese. However, what is it to be Japanese? &lt;b&gt;Throughout much of Japan&amp;#39;s history, the Yamato ethnic group (making up the majority of Japanese people) has dominated Japan culturally&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.stpaulslifestyle.com/articles/2013/02/07/an-almost-forgotten-song-the-ainu/' target='_blank'&gt;http://www.stpaulslifestyle.com/articles/2...-song-the-ainu/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Yamato people is a name for the dominant native ethnic group of Japan&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;b&gt;It is a term that came to be used around the late 19th century to distinguish the residents of mainland Japan from other minority ethnic groups &lt;/b&gt;who have resided in the peripheral areas of Japan, such as the Ainu, Ryukyuans, Nivkh, Oroks, as well as Koreans, Taiwanese, and Taiwanese aborigines who were incorporated into the Empire of Japan in the early 20th century. The name was applied to the Imperial House of Japan or &amp;quot;Yamato Court&amp;quot; that existed in Japan in the 4th century, and was originally the name of the region where the Yamato people first settled in Yamato Province &lt;b&gt;(modern-day Nara Prefecture)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamato_people' target='_blank'&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamato_people&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://ichi-tourguide.com/about%20kyoto/kyoto_image/Heian%20shrine%20front.JPG' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;heian shrine nara&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://images.travelpod.com/tw_slides/ta00/afa/6ec/nara-temple-nara.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[&lt;!--emo&amp;B]--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='cool.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Descendants of han dynasty&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Yamato no Aya clan (東漢氏) - descended from Prince Achi no Omi, a great-grandchild of Emperor Ling of Han of the Chinese Han Dynasty.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Yamato no Fumi clan (東文氏) - a branch of the Yamato no Aya clan.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ōkura clan (大蔵氏) - a branch of the Yamato no Aya clan&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_clans' target='_blank'&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_clans&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Achi no Omi, who settled in Japan in the time of Emperor Ôjin (third century), who said to have been the great grandson of Emperor Ling (A.D. 168-188) of the Later Han dynasty of China. &lt;b&gt;Since he came to Japan at a time when the ruler of the Korean Kingdom of Paekche (baekja) was on close terms with Emperor Ôjin, it has been suggested that he was brought by Japanese generals on their return from the Korean peninsula. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;On the fall of Han dynasty in 221, Prince Achi fled to Corea and subsequently to japan and created the yamato clan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://wiki.samurai-archives.com/index.php?title=Achi_no_Omi' target='_blank'&gt;http://wiki.samurai-archives.com/index.php?title=Achi_no_Omi&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Goguryeo yamato war&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;In this period, Baekje received military support from Japan. According to the Samguk Sagi, King Asin of Baekje sent his son Jeonji to Japan in 397[4] and King Silseong of Silla sent his son Misaheun to Japan in 402 in order to solicit military aid from Yamato to stop Gurgoyeo from attacking their land.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 404, Yamato unexpectedly invaded the southern border at former Daifang territory. The king led troops from Pyongyang to prevail. The Yamato troops lost the battle against Goguryeo in the vicinity of Pyongyang.  After this war, Goguryeo made both Silla and Baekje its subjects, bringing about a loose unification of Korean Peninsula that lasted about 50 years.&lt;/b&gt;[1]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goguryeo%E2%80%93Yamato_War' target='_blank'&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goguryeo%E2%80%93Yamato_War&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The great cities of kyoto and tokyo were established by the hokkien&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shinto 神道 (Shen dao) - god road / destiny&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kyo to 桥道 (qiao dao) - bridge road&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the early days of chinese, the noun is written first and the verb/ adjective the latter. However , it is changed to standardise and syncronise to English where verb and adjective precedes the noun in later period.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so instead of kyoto , it is inverted to tokyo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;to kyo 道桥 (dao qiao) - road bridge (bridge from china)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The hokkien people of japan who established kyoto and tokyo are still evidenced in the name of the cities. haha majority of japanese are han and people of wa who allied to fight against goguryeo during the kofun period.  &lt;!--emo&amp;:clap:--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/rclxms.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='rclxms.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt; .&lt;/b&gt;</description>

While the myths are not considered historically accurate, it is a commonly accepted fact that emperors have reigned over Japan for more than 1500 years, and that they have all descended from the same imperial family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Emperor Jimmu was the first Emperor of Japan according to the traditional order of succession and he was called was Jinmu tenno 神武天皇 in kanji. Kanji was in hokkien so it is natural that his original name would in hokkien too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jinmu tenno 神武天皇 - Shin bu thee ong (hokkien)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;in mandarin 神 - shen&lt;br /&gt;in cantonese - shan&lt;br /&gt;in hokkien - shin&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not surprising too that sky king 天皇 in his royal name was pronounced phonetically after hokkien too. To clear out any confusion, there was no differentiation between emperor and king in ancient time .Wang was earlier pronunciation of huang.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In mandarin, 天皇 - tian wang&lt;br /&gt;in cantonese and hakka - tin wong&lt;br /&gt;in hokkien - thee o ng(a negligible slang)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only japanese pronuciation of o is similar to the prnunciation of hokkien of ong. In hokkien the pronuciation of ong/hang/ ang is voiced as a big o followed dimly by slang of ng. Whether the latter articulation of ng is pronounced does not matter as it is just a slang. Clearly the pronuciation of jinmu tenno was in hokkien as other dialects are slightly different in intonation.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Xu fu (hok / blessed) was the the first emperor jimmu&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://history.cultural-china.com/chinaWH/upload/upfiles/2013-07/01/why_did_xu_fu_go_to_japanf88e8d2697d3964d08ab.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Emperor Qin Shihuang sent out Xu Fu. After traveling for a while on the sea, Xu Fu came back and told Emperor Qinshihuang there was a flood dragon in the water that kept him from the mountain. The emperor set out to sea by himself. When his ship came to a small island, he came across a big fish. Emperor Qinshihuang killed it and believed there would be no more obstacles on the way to the mountain. But, Xu Fu still did not bring back the immortal grass and didn&amp;#39;t dare see the emperor again. Instead, &lt;b&gt;he decided to bring the 3,000 boys and girls and the craftsmen to Japan. In the end, Xu Fu died at the foot of the Fuji Mountain.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are many stories and historical records about Xu Fu in Japan. Some scholars speculate that&lt;b&gt; Xu Fu was the legendary Jimmu Tenno. Japanese people worship him as an ancestor and there are even sites of Xu Fu&amp;#39;s tomb, Xu Fu&amp;#39;s palace and Xu Fu&amp;#39;s cliff. In 1991, a park named after Xu Fu was opened in a Japanese city. People worship him every autumn and hold a grand ceremony every 50 years.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Relationship between him and qin( 秦朝) and the aryan demigods.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to Shinto belief, Jimmu is regarded as a direct descendant of the sun goddess, Amaterasu.Amaterasu had a son called Ame no Oshihomimi no Mikoto and through him a grandson named Ninigi-no-Mikoto. She sent her grandson to the Japanese islands where he eventually married Konohana-Sakuya-hime. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Similar legends was told in the history of qin where the son of qin shi huang defected to island of penglai which is japan today and both regarded themselves as &amp;#39;came from god&amp;#39; (shin/ jin) .  The han ji  of Qin is 秦 which basically is qin dynasty but the original form of qin before the liquidation of traditional character and introduction of simplified chinese was qin -  shin 神 in hokkien. That means that both qin and jin/ shin in japanese were originally meant to relate to demigod race which bring its relation to the aryan that they once were before migration to the far east.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The name &amp;#39;Qin&amp;#39; (pronounced as &amp;#39;Chin&amp;#39;) is believed to be the etymological ancestor of the modern-day European name of the country, China. The word probably made its way into the Indo-Aryan languages first as &amp;#39;Cina&amp;#39; or &amp;#39;Sina&amp;#39; and then into Greek and Latin as &amp;#39;Sinai&amp;#39; or &amp;#39;Thinai.It was then transliterated into English and French as &amp;#39;China&amp;#39; and &amp;#39;Chine&amp;#39;. This etymology is dismissed by some scholars, who suggest that &amp;#39;Sina&amp;#39; in Sanskrit evolved much earlier before the Qin dynasty. &amp;#39;Jin&amp;#39; (pronounced as &amp;#39;Zhin&amp;#39;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qin_Dynasty' target='_blank'&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qin_Dynasty&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cina - Sina - shin ah 神啊&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The hokkien pronunciation of cina is sin ah which means god ah corresponds to Japanese mythology of legends that the origin of the first emperor of japan was from sun god amaterasu in which the sun god derived its existence from the aryan race of demigods as told like in bible where the demigods who were son of gods who had relations with daughters of men was punished to an earthly life &amp;#33;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sinai - shin lai  神来 (came from god)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The biblical Mount Sinai (cina) was one of the most important sacred places in the Abrahamic religions where it was the moutain where God gave laws to the Israelites&lt;/b&gt;</description>

            <title>Chinese communist (CCP) was a disguise of</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2514279</link>
            <description>&lt;b&gt;Northeast Anti-Japanese United &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army was the main anti-Japanese guerrilla army in the Northeast part (Manchuria) of China after the occupation of Manchuria by Japan in 1931. It was organized by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast_Anti-Japanese_United_Army' target='_blank'&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast_Ant...ese_United_Army&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Han fought against Manchurian and Japanese came to help han . CCP sided with Manchurian and was behind these anti japanese war.  Clearly CCP is a disguise of remnants of machurian/ qing. CCP won the war and used cultural revolution agenda to secretly cleanse and massacre 60 to 80 millions han people and untold numbers in vietnam, cambodia and tibet. Kuomintang led by Sun Yat Sen knew about Communist agenda to obliterate Han, signed agreement with Japan and quickly transferred people to Taiwan and Malaysia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;History&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After Japanese occupation of Manchuria in 1931, the Chinese Communist Party organized anti-Japanese guerrilla units, and formed the Northeastern People&amp;#39;s Revolutionary Army. Despite party disapproval, some party members joined or rendered assistance to various Anti-Japanese Volunteer Armies fighting the Japanese and the forces of Manchukuo (puppet state of japan).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1934, after the defeat of the Volunteer Armies, all these Communist Party units were reorganized into the single Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army. This force continued the struggle against the Japanese pacification of Manchukuo. In 1935, the party officially changed policy, and began creating a united front, absorbing most of the remaining anti-Japanese forces in Manchuria and Korean resistance fighters including Kim Il-sung. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite years of fighting, the army was gradually worn down by the pacification campaign of the Japanese. . After World War II, most of its army was combined into the People&amp;#39;s Liberation Army of China for the subsequent civil war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast_Anti-Japanese_United_Army' target='_blank'&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast_Ant...ese_United_Army&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clearly, japanese went to manchuria to save han from being massacred by Manchurian and later CCP. Instead of being grateful , han chinese were influenced by CCP to make them believed that Japanese wanted to kill han and dominate Asia. After departed for so long, japanese came back to rescue them but were greeted with betrayal and disappointment. Japanese were the guinea pigs for all the blame in the power struggle. No doubt korean contributed to CCP success too. Japanese paid tribute to their war heroes because they were brave to fight for justice and the right of their ancestors who shared similar relation with han.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Anti japanese protest in china is caused by Manchurian children. See video.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[youtube]OUqN640mBRI[/youtube]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anti-Japan protests in at least 35 Chinese cities are planned for Tuesday, the 81st anniversary of an incident that led to Japan&amp;#39;s invasion of Manchuria in China. Manchurian children assimilated into chinese han to cause trouble inside and they are behind the protest lol.. Conspiracies that communist china is disguise of Manchurian agenda is true.</description>

            <title>y is Cantonese,Hakka, Taishanese spoken in</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2419959</link>
            <description>I will tell you the reason why most people speak taishanese (tai tribe, tai surname),hakka and cantonese overseas. &lt;b&gt;They were sold as slaves through guandong ports to America to build the railroads because they were tricked into believing they were sent there to dig for the gold rush of California.&lt;/b&gt; Eventually these taishanese,hakka and cantonese speakers worked on us railroads day and night. There are stories that they send in the chinese into caves and bomb it without telling them. Also it was during this period chop suey was invented. Eventually most settle in Cali, Chicago, and New York.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Chinese coolie/kuli emigration began after slavery had been abolished throughout the British possessions. Facing a desperate shortage of manpower, European merchants were looking to replace African slaves with indentured labourers from China and India.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the 19th century, the age of colonialism was at its height and the great Chinese Diaspora began. Many colonies lacked a large pool of laborers. Meanwhile, in the provinces of Fujian and Guangdong in China, there was a surge in emigration as a result of the poverty and ruin caused by the Taiping rebellion. &lt;b&gt;The Qing Empire was forced by foreign powers to allow its subjects to work overseas under colonial powers.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the 19th century, Guangdong was also the major port of exit for labourers to Southeast Asia and the West, i.e. United States and Canada. As a result, many overseas Chinese communities have their origins in Guangdong. &lt;b&gt;After the exodus remnants of Han Ming dynasty to Taiwan which eventually became part of japan during the Sino war and all thanks to the weak Qing empire that led to the era of Chinese slavery to the west.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/75/Chinese_American_Fishermen_b.jpg/230px-Chinese_American_Fishermen_b.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chinese fishermen in Monterey, California&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5f/Elderly_Chinese_American_Man_with_Queue_b.jpg/220px-Elderly_Chinese_American_Man_with_Queue_b.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until the Xinhai Revolution in 1911 Chinese living abroad were forced to wear a queue (a braid of hair worn hanging down behind) , as an expression of their loyalty to the Manchu Qing emperor.

            <title>Top ten world’s rudest cities</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2329788</link>
            <description>&lt;b&gt;Mumbai (Bombay), India&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&amp;#39;s a city that hosts every aspect of humanity. Some of the world&amp;#39;s most impoverished women and children live in slums and shantytowns next to the glitziest, richest and most beautiful people in India. Nearly 14 million people live in this city of grit (think Slumdog Millionaire) and glamour (Bollywood is the largest moviemaking industry in the world). No one takes it personally when people push and shove past each other, jostling to get to their end destination. After a Reader&amp;#39;s Digest feature named Mumbai the rudest city in the world in 2006, an editorial in The Times of India acquiesced, chastising the city for boorish behaviour, sticking gum on vacant seats and spitting at pedestrians from running buses. But in a city where the streets have no name, where survival is the name of the game every day, it&amp;#39;s completely forgivable that civilities fall by the wayside.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Milan, Italy&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There&amp;#39;s a certain amount of sartorial snobbery in Milan that make most tourists stand out instantly. It&amp;#39;s where Italian designers like Versace, Prada, Dolce &amp;amp; Gabbana and Gucci come to show off their wares, and where you&amp;#39;ll find a disturbing number of unnaturally tall, rail-thin models who make the rest of us feel like midget dwarfs in lumberjack shirts. Many tourists may feel one of either two things: a) a condescending once-over that in no uncertain terms makes you feel like the GAP shorts you got on sale are sooo last season, or b) a total, annihilating sense of insignificance. We suggest you go in the comforting knowledge that for the price of one of their fancy schmancy hand bags, you could buy 300 pairs of generic, mainstream shorts. Who&amp;#39;s the sucka now?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Moscow, Russia&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They&amp;#39;re not exactly known for being warm and fuzzy. But if Russians are reserved, aloof and expressionless in public, it&amp;#39;s because they lived under the thumb of Stalinist, communist rule for so long. It&amp;#39;s only natural that suffering would trickle down through to subsequent generations in the form of stoicism. At the same time, for some Russians that half-baked, Western culture of smiling at complete strangers is the stuff of half-witted, flaky fools. As with every other foreign travel destination, don&amp;#39;t expect Western-style hospitality to be at your beck and call.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rio de Janeiro, Brazil&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of South America&amp;#39;s most beautiful cities is also famously one of the most dangerous. Tourists are particularly vulnerable to predatory pick pockets during the city&amp;#39;s annual Carnaval, and at night. Cariocas, residents of Rio, have been described as pushy, but that&amp;#39;s also to be expected when living in one of the most densely populated areas of the planet, and especially if you&amp;#39;re an impoverished local living in one of the many shanty towns which exist alongside the most posh parts of Rio. The city&amp;#39;s crime rate can be intimidating to naive travellers, but nothing a bit of common sense can&amp;#39;t allay. Dress like a local with a pair of flip flops and a Bermuda hat. Leave the expensive jewelry at home and don&amp;#39;t travel with a lot of cash. After all, what more do you really need than a beach towel and some sunscreen?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hong Kong&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As one of the most densely populated places in the world, squeezing 53,110 persons per square kilometre in its most crowded district, you can understand why competition is fierce. Everyone has to fight for scarce, coveted resources, including a seat on the subway. Same goes for being heard - with seven million residents living in a city that had nowhere else to build but up, voices here tend to rise in a cacophony of sound that becomes white noise. Pedestrians navigate narrow alleyways, where exotic sights and smells will greet you. It can be daunting for travellers, especially Canucks who come from a country as vast and expansive as ours. But a trip to Hong Kong will also show you how a teeming, dynamic metropolis can coexist with green space. About three-quarters of Hong Kong&amp;#39;s total area is countryside, 40 per cent of which is designated as country parks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seoul, Korea&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There&amp;#39;s a dichotomy that exists in Korea that foreigners may find confusing. On the one hand, customer service is absolutely stellar. Every morning, the first customers to walk through shopping centres and retail shops are greeted by rows of sales associates who bow to you as you enter. Business cards are handed over with two hands, in a show of respect and deference. On the other hand, drivers here have no mercy, running red lights, plowing down pedestrians at marked stops and screeching through the city with a lead foot. Nor do Koreans have qualms about asking strangers personal questions - a cultural norm that can often be mistaken for being rude and nosey. Subtlety is not a Korean forte, as foreigners may also find themselves being gawked at. Like the cuisine, garlicky and fiery hot, the Korean temperament can come on a bit strong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Paris, France&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parisians are typecast for being the surliest, rudest and most smug of Europeans. And let&amp;#39;s face it, why shouldn&amp;#39;t they be? They live in perhaps one of the most beautiful, poetic cities on the planet, so they&amp;#39;re entitled to a little bit of attitude. It&amp;#39;s when their smug sense of superiority turns malicious - by mocking anything that&amp;#39;s not oh-la-la French - that things can get hairy. Here are a few simple tips to minimize merciless, backroom mockery from a condescending Parisian: never order your steak well done -- the French like their meat bloody and moo-ing. And never ask for ketchup. It&amp;#39;s, how zey say, very gauche. And please, remember always to use your &amp;quot;inside&amp;quot; voice. Take cues from Parisians who are generally soft-spoken. There&amp;#39;s nothing more irksome to the French than a loud-mouthed North American. Quel horreur.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New York City&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If there&amp;#39;s one city where a bit of attitude can actually go a long way, it&amp;#39;s here, the concrete jungle where dreams are made of. It&amp;#39;s where the best of the best come from all over the world, clamouring over each other in a mad dash to get to their respective top - be it acting, writing, finance or worldwide domination. So New Yorkers can be forgiven for being a rough and tumble crowd. At anytime, you&amp;#39;re walking amongst the most competitive, cut throat species in the world, and the most dejected, dispirited failures who&amp;#39;ve been repeatedly told they&amp;#39;re crap. It&amp;#39;s natural selection at its most brutal. As the saying goes - for tourist and actor alike - if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;London, UK&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&amp;#39;s a city of grandiose pomp and circumstance with its Buckingham Palace and historic architecture, from whence the British monarchy ruled a global empire. And where words like &amp;quot;whence&amp;quot; were once used. Londoners operate under a code of civility that&amp;#39;s at once impenetrable and deceiving. Brits are notorious for being unreadable, inscrutable business opponents beneath their veneer of Victorian propriety. Some call it &amp;quot;cold.&amp;quot; But it&amp;#39;s also this air of refinement that makes this bustling city so elegant and sophisticated. You could be told to bugger off and never know it, as it would be muttered through clenched teeth and a forged smile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Toronto&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&amp;#39;s the city every other Canadian city loves to hate. It&amp;#39;s dirty, rude and crime-ridden, decry her most hardened critics. But in the latest StatsCan survey, Toronto actually came out third to last in police-reported crime statistics. Topping the list were prairie towns Regina, Saskatoon and Winnipeg. As for being dirty and rude, we like to call it grit and character. True, Torontonians walk with steady purpose and may mow you down should you dare to amble leisurely down Yonge Street during pedestrian rush hour. But they do, after all, work in the economic engine of the country and have a lot of work to do. And if you live in a mono-coloured city of cookie-cutter houses in the rolling hills of suburbia, then yes, you may be thrown by the traffic, the diversity and the colourful characters you may meet. But remember, you&amp;#39;re not in Kansas anymore. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://travel.uk.msn.com/inspiration/romantic/photos.aspx?cp-documentid=154851758' target='_blank'&gt;http://travel.uk.msn.com/inspiration/roman...entid=154851758&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paris romance city, english gentleman and hong kong city of passion ?  &lt;!--emo&amp;:lol:--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt;</description>

            <title>Russia stunned after japanese plan to</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2317397</link>
            <description>Posted by EU Times on Apr 15th, 2012 // 91 Comments&lt;br /&gt;739&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A new report circulating in the Kremlin today prepared by the Foreign Ministry on the planned re-opening of talks with Japan over the disputed Kuril Islands during the next fortnight states that Russian diplomats were “stunned” after being told by their Japanese counterparts that upwards of 40 million of their peoples were in “extreme danger” of life threatening radiation poisoning and could very well likely be faced with forced evacuations away from their countries eastern most located cities… including the world’s largest one, Tokyo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Kuril Islands are located in Russia’s Sakhalin Oblast region and stretch approximately 1,300 km (810 miles) northeast from Hokkaidō, Japan, to Kamchatka, Russia, separating the Sea of Okhotsk from the North Pacific Ocean. There are 56 islands and many more minor rocks. It consists of Greater Kuril Ridge and Lesser Kuril Ridge, all of which were captured by Soviet Forces in the closing days of World War II from the Japanese.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://quantumpranx.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/japanuclearscreen1.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The “extreme danger” facing tens of millions of the Japanese peoples is the result of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster that was a series of equipment failures, nuclear meltdowns, and releases of radioactive materials at the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant, following the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami on 11 March 2011.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to this report, Japanese diplomats have signaled to their Russian counterparts that the returning of the Kuril Islands to Japan is “critical” as they have no other place to resettle so many people that would, in essence, become the largest migration of human beings since the 1930’s when Soviet leader Stalin forced tens of millions to resettle Russia’s far eastern regions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Important to note, this report continues, are that Japanese diplomats told their Russian counterparts that they were, also, “seriously considering” an offer by China to relocate tens of millions of their citizens to the Chinese mainland to inhabit what are called the “ghost cities,” built for reasons still unknown and described, in part, by London’s Daily Mail News Service in their 18 December 2010 article titled: “The Ghost Towns Of China: Amazing Satellite Images Show Cities Meant To Be Home To Millions Lying Deserted” that says:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    “These amazing satellite images show sprawling cities built in remote parts of China that have been left completely abandoned, sometimes years after their construction. Elaborate public buildings and open spaces are completely unused, with the exception of a few government vehicles near communist authority offices. Some estimates put the number of empty homes at as many as 64 million, with up to 20 new cities being built every year in the country’s vast swathes of free land.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Foreign Ministry experts in this report note that should Japan accept China’s offer, the combined power of these two Asian peoples would make them the largest super-power in human history with an economy larger than that of the United States and European Union combined and able to field a combined military force of over 200 million.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To how dire the situation is in Japan was recently articulated by Japanese diplomat Akio Matsumura who warned that the disaster at the Fukushima nuclear plant may ultimately turn into an event capable of extinguishing all life on Earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the Prison Planet News Service:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    “Matsumura posted [this] startling entry on his blog following a statement made by Japan’s former ambassador to Switzerland, Mitsuhei Murata, on the situation at Fukushima.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Speaking at a public hearing of the Budgetary Committee of the House of Councilors on 22 March 2012, Murata warned that “if the crippled building of reactor unit 4 – with 1,535 fuel rods in the spent fuel pool 100 feet (30 meters) above the ground – collapses, not only will it cause a shutdown of all six reactors but will also affect the common spent fuel pool containing 6,375 fuel rods, located some 50 meters from reactor 4,” writes Matsumura.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    In both cases the radioactive rods are not protected by a containment vessel; dangerously, they are open to the air. This would certainly cause a global catastrophe like we have never before experienced. He stressed that the responsibility of Japan to the rest of the world is immeasurable. Such a catastrophe would affect us all for centuries. Ambassador Murata informed us that the total numbers of the spent fuel rods at the Fukushima Daiichi site excluding the rods in the pressure vessel is 11,421.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Disturbingly, the desperate situation facing Japan is, also, facing the United States as Russian military observers overflying the US this week as part of the Open Skies Treaty are reporting “unprecedented” amounts of radiation in the Western regions of that country, a finding that was further confirmed by scientists with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute who have confirmed that a wave of highly radioactive waste is headed directly for the US west coast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Important to note is that this new wave of Fukushima radiation headed towards the US is in addition to earlier radiation events that American scientists are now blaming for radioactive particles from Japan being detected in California kelp.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though the news of this ongoing global catastrophe is still being heavily censored in the US, the same cannot be said about Japan, and as recently reported by the leading Japanese newspaper The Mainichi Daily News that reports:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    “One of the biggest issues that we face is the possibility that the spent nuclear fuel pool of the No. 4 reactor at the stricken Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant will collapse. This is something that experts from both within and outside Japan have pointed out since the massive quake struck. TEPCO, meanwhile, says that the situation is under control. However, not only independent experts, but also sources within the government say that it’s a grave concern.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    The storage pool in the No. 4 reactor building has a total of 1,535 fuel rods, or 460 tons of nuclear fuel, in it. The 7-story building itself has suffered great damage, with the storage pool barely intact on the building’s third and fourth floors. The roof has been blown away. If the storage pool breaks and runs dry, the nuclear fuel inside will overheat and explode, causing a massive amount of radioactive substances to spread over a wide area. Both the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and French nuclear energy company Areva have warned about this risk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    A report released in February by the Independent Investigation Commission on the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Accident stated that the storage pool of the plant’s No. 4 reactor has clearly been shown to be “the weakest link” in the parallel, chain-reaction crises of the nuclear disaster. The worse-case scenario drawn up by the government includes not only the collapse of the No. 4 reactor pool, but the disintegration of spent fuel rods from all the plant’s other reactors. If this were to happen, residents in the Tokyo metropolitan area would be forced to evacuate.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even though this crisis in Japan has been described as “a nuclear war without a war” and the US Military is being reported is now stocking up on massive amounts of anti-radiation pills in preparation for nuclear fallout, there remains no evidence at all the ordinary peoples are being warned about this danger in any way whatsoever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.eutimes.net/2012/04/russia-stunned-after-japanese-plan-to-evacuate-40-million-revealed/' target='_blank'&gt;http://www.eutimes.net/2012/04/russia-stun...llion-revealed/&lt;/a&gt;</description>

            <title>Cantonese and vietnamese same origin</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2267190</link>
            <description>Vietnamese and Cantonese were highly disputed to be related in ancient times because Viet means Yue and Canto also means Yue as well. In Chinese, Yue Nan means Vietnam&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://g.imagehost.org/0730/img0026tn_1.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Han Chinese wasn&amp;#39;t originated from Guangdong/Guangxi area of China, they originated from Yellow river, which means central China.Just as Yue wasn&amp;#39;t Han Chinese, they were forced to join Han Chinese, and slowly assimilated into Han population. Mandarin was invented by Han Chinese under Manchu order, that&amp;#39;s why they sound different from Cantonese.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cantonese orginated from massive immigration of han populations all across china, and absorbed the yue while going into guangdong, yet yue concentration is still very low. No cantonese i&amp;#39;ve spoken too consider themselves Viet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cantonese and mandarin and other chinese dialects are a continium of Old Chinese, its like latin spread out across southern europe with french,spanish,italian,romanian branching off, although speakers can&amp;#39;t understand each other&amp;#39;s language, their languages are very close with latin. Cantonese does not have viet words, any similarites is because cantonese was the closest chinese dialect and influenced vietnamese. Mandarin actually evolved in around 1000-1500AD Search up Zhongyuan Yinyun&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;quot;Btw, there isn&amp;#39;t enough evidence to support Cantonese people are Han Chinese. Just from their physical appearance they are actually more closely related to Vietnamese than Han Chinese.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;European Journal of Human Genetics advance online publication 23 January 2008; doi: 10.1038/sj.ejhg.5201998</description>
