--牌九--

牌九是古代中國傳統骨牌遊戲的一種，玩法是依據兩扇骨牌點數的不同組合，來比較大小，以決勝負。據說牌九始於宋代。舊時主要以牌九來賭博，因此中華人民共和國建立後政府將其取締。

牌九，即排出九的數目之意。牌九最大的對牌「至尊寶」，兩牌點數相加就是九點。近代有人將牌九這遊戲演化，以撲克牌來玩，玩法與骨牌牌九類似。

--The Mafia Italian [Cosa Nostra & Camorra] --

The Mafia (also known as Cosa Nostra) is a criminal syndicate that emerged in the mid 19th century in Sicily. It is a loose association of criminal groups that share a common organizational structure and code of conduct. Each group, known as a "family", "clan", or "cosca", claims sovereignty over a territory in which it operates its rackets – usually a town or village or a neighbourhood (borgata) of a larger city. Their primary activity is protection racketeering, but they are also involved in drug trafficking, loan sharking, and liquor and cigarette smuggling.
~
Offshoots of the Mafia emerged in the United States, during the late 19th century, following waves of Italian emigration (see American Mafia) but also in Canada and Australia. The term "Mafia" is also employed to name Mafia-type organizations operating under a similar structure, whether Sicilian or not; such as the Camorra, the 'Ndrangheta, the Stidda or the Sacra Corona Unita, as well as foreign organized crime groups.
~
However, Giovanni Falcone, the Antimafia judge who was killed by the Mafia, objected to the inflation of the use of "Mafia" to organized crime in general: "While there was a time when people were reluctant to pronounce the word 'Mafia,' … nowadays people have gone so far in the opposite direction that it has become an overused term … I am no longer willing to accept the habit of speaking of the Mafia in descriptive and all-inclusive terms that make it possible to stack up phenomena that are indeed related to the field of organized crime but that have little or nothing in common with the Mafia."

--Boxing Day 2010--

Boxing Day is a bank or public holiday that occurs on 26 December, or 27 December, and is observed in Australia, Austria, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and in some Commonwealth nations that have a mainly Christian population. In South Africa, the public holiday 26 December is called Day of Goodwill, in Ireland St Stephen's Day or Lá an Dreoilín, and in continental European countries the "Second Christmas Day."

Though not an official holiday in the United States, some Americans use the term "Boxing Day," particularly those who live near the Canada – United States border. In Canada, Boxing Day is listed in the Canada Labour Code as an optional holiday. Only the province of Ontario has made it a statutory holiday where all workers receive time off with pay.

--冬至 2010--

冬至，又稱「冬節」、「賀冬」，二十四節氣之一，每年12月22日前後，太陽到達黃經270°時開始。

《月令七十二侯集解》：「十一月中，終藏之氣，至此而極也。」《通緯·孝經援神契》：「大雪後十五日，斗指子，為冬至，十一月中(夏曆)。陰極而陽始至，日南至，漸長至也。」

此日太陽幾乎直射南回歸線，北半球白晝最短，北極圈呈永夜狀態，南極圈呈白夜狀態，其後陽光直射位置向北移動，白晝漸長。由於太陽輻射到地面的能量仍比地面向空中發散的少，所以在短時間內氣溫繼續降低。天文學上規定冬至為北半球冬季的開始。

--Total Lunar Eclipse 2010--

Both lunar and solar eclipses can only occur when the Earth, Sun and Moon are directly aligned… and that alignment is about to happen just four days before Christmas! While the winter treat of totality will lend itself to North America, many other parts of the world will be able to enjoy a partial eclipse as well. Just remember your time zones and I’ll post specific times and locations just a little closer to the date. Right now, let’s learn more!

What is a partial eclipse or totality? When the Earth‘s shadow engulfs the Moon, it is a lunar eclipse which occurs in two phases. The outer shadow cone is called the penumbra and the dark, inner shadow is called the umbra. A round body, such as a planet, casts a shadow “cone” through space. When it’s at Earth, the cone is widest at 13,000 kilometers in diameter, yet by the time it reaches the Moon it has narrowed to only 9,200 kilometers. Considering the distance to the Moon is 384,401 kilometers, that’s hitting a very narrow corridor in astronomical terms!

As a rule of thumb, remember that the Moon moves about its own diameter each hour, so the very beginning of a penumbral eclipse will be difficult to notice. Slowly and steadily, the coloration will begin to change and even inexperienced eclipse watchers will notice that something is different. The Moon will never completely disappear as it passes through the Earth’s umbral shadow cone, either. Thanks to our atmosphere bending the sunlight around us, it scatters the light and refracts the signature red and copper coloration we associate with lunar eclipse. Why? Just the small particles in our air – dust and clouds – the shorter wavelengths of light from the Sun are more likely to be scattered (in this case, red) and that’s what we see. Exactly the same reason sunset and sunrise appears to be red! If you’d like to dedicate a portion of your mind to science, then try judging the eclipse coloration on the Danjon scale. It was was devised by Andre Danjon for rating the overall darkness of lunar eclipses:

--UEFA Champions League 2010-2011~ Round of 16 draw--

Published: Friday 17 December 2010, 12.24CET
Holders FC Internazionale Milano will continue their UEFA Champions League title defence against FC Bayern München in a repeat of last season's final after the round of 16 draw was made in Nyon, Switzerland.

Rafael Benítez's side finished second in Group A and their reward is a tie against Group E winners Bayern, the team they beat 2-0 in Madrid to claim their third European crown seven months ago, thanks to two goals from Diego Milito.

There will also be a rematch of the 2006 showpiece as FC Barcelona were again paired with Arsenal FC, whom they eliminated in the quarter-finals last time around – Lionel Messi scoring all four Blaugrana goals in the second leg. Real Madrid CF, who have lost in the last 16 for six successive seasons, take on the club that knocked them out in 2009/10, Olympique Lyonnais – the French outfit having reached the semi-finals for the first time last term.

Seven-time European champions AC Milan will face debutants Tottenham Hotspur FC while French title holders Olympique de Marseille were pitted with Manchester United FC, winners in 2008 and finalists the following year. Valencia CF, runners-up in 2000 and 2001, tackle FC Schalke 04 while Chelsea FC will encounter FC København, the first Danish team to progress from the group stage. FC Shakhtar Donetsk, also making their maiden appearance in the round of 16, play AS Roma.

The first legs will take place on 15/16 and 22/23 February, with the returns on 8/9 and 15/16 March.

--2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar--

The 2022 FIFA World Cup will be the 22nd FIFA World Cup, an international football tournament that is scheduled to take place in 2022 in Qatar. The competition will take place in June and July, and involve 32 national teams, including that of the host nation. This is the first time a country in the Middle East will host the World Cup.

--2018 FIFA World Cup Russian Federation--

The 2018 FIFA World Cup will be the 21st FIFA World Cup, an international football tournament that is scheduled to take place in 2018. It will be held in the Russian Federation for the first time, as well as being the first World Cup in Eastern Europe. It may also become the first World Cup held in more than one continent, namely Europe and Asia, according to the bid.
~
The bidding procedure to host the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups began in January 2009, and national associations had until 2 February 2009 to register their interest. Initially, nine countries placed bids for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, but Mexico later withdrew from proceedings, and Indonesia's bid was rejected by FIFA in February 2010 after the Indonesian government failed to submit a letter to support the bid. During the bidding process, the three remaining non-UEFA nations (Australia, Japan and the United States) gradually withdrew from the 2018 bids, and the UEFA nations were thus ruled out of the 2022 bid. As such, there were eventually four bids for the 2018 FIFA World Cup: England, Russia, Netherlands/Belgium and Spain/Portugal.
~
The twenty-two member FIFA Executive Committee convened in Zürich on 2 December 2010 to vote to select the hosts of both tournaments. Russia won the right to be the 2018 host in the second round of voting, while the Spain/Portugal bid came second and that from Belgium/Netherlands third. England's bid to host its second tournament fell in the first round.

--陳水扁--

陳水扁（1950年10月12日－），前台灣律師、政治人物，出生於台灣台南縣官田鄉西庄村，曾任中華民國總統（2000年 - 2008年）、民主進步黨黨主席、台北市議員、立法院立法委員、台北市市長等職位。
~
由於「阿」字後面加尾名是台語人名簡稱的習慣用法，多用於親友間對平輩和晚輩的叫法，故自稱「阿扁」以表現親民作風，台灣媒體習慣稱呼陳水扁的家庭亦稱「扁家」，對其所領導的中華民國政府為「扁政府」。
~
陳水扁競選2000年中華民國總統選舉時獲得諾貝爾獎得主李遠哲博士支持推薦，後當選為第一位政黨輪替的民選總統，2004年3月19日總統大選遭遇槍擊，之後以0.228%差距險勝對手。
~
陳水扁是中華民國第二位民選總統，也是首位非中國國民黨黨籍的總統，任內積極推動台灣的正名制憲運動以及台灣入聯運動，在經貿方面則採用「南向政策」及「積極管理，有效開放」的兩岸經貿架構。
~
夫人為吳淑珍（1952年7月11日－），育有一子陳致中、一女陳幸妤，認養家扶中心義子吳岳庭。
~
總統任內後期因自身與民進黨相關人士接連弊案，以及中央執政團隊爭議不斷，使民眾普遍對民進黨政府觀感不佳，以致於後來的直轄市、縣市長、立法委員、縣市議員...等選舉，敗於對立的中國國民黨；其中2008年立法委員選舉，令民主進步黨從原來國會最多席次的政黨，掉到剩27席，而國民黨卻有81席，足有三倍之多；縣市首長選舉2001年國民黨與民主進步均為9席，但2005年選舉時，卻分別為14席與6席。在長期陳水扁民意低迷情況下，2008年總統大選時，即便國民黨總統候選人馬英九因多項指控而遭致非議，最後仍以總得票約59%擊敗民進黨候選人謝長廷，取回中央執政權。

--2018 FIFA World Cup Belgium and the Netherlands--

Eleven bids were submitted in March 2009 covering thirteen nations, with two joint bids: Belgium-Netherlands and Portugal-Spain. Mexico also submitted a bid, but withdrew theirs on 28 September 2009, while Indonesia had their bid rejected for lack of government support on 19 March 2010. Five of the remaining nine bids, South Korea, Qatar, Japan, Australia and United States are only for the 2022 World Cup, while all the others are bidding for both the 2018 and 2022 World Cups. However, since all of the bids for the 2018 World Cup are from European nations, and FIFA's rules dictate that countries belonging to confederations that hosted either of the two preceding tournaments are not eligible to host, all of these bids are now forced to be for 2018 only. Four bids come from the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), four from Europe's UEFA, and one from CONCACAF. It had also been reported on the FIFA website that Egypt was entering a bid, but the president of the Egyptian Football Association denied that any more than an inquiry in principle had been made. The number of bids received meant that the 2018 World Cup is the most contested bid in FIFA's history.

The country is on high alert following Tuesday's artillery battle between North and South Korea that killed two South Korean marines and two civilians on the island Yeonpyeong.

Buddhist monks have gathered in Cambodia's capital Phnom Penh to express condolence to the families of at least 378 people who were killed on Monday evening in a stampede. Cambodia's prime minister, Hun Sen, has called the incident the nation's most tragic event since the end of the Khmer Rouge regime. The government has ordered an investigation but already several different explanations have emerged. Some survivors say police made the situation worse by spraying water over people who had collapsed on a bridge, not realising that they had suffered electric shocks.

--九皇大帝圣诞千秋 2010--

Legend of the Nine Emperor Gods

The Nine Emperor Gods (called “Jiu Wang Ye 九王爷” in Singapore and Malaysia) actually refer to the “Jiu Huang Da Di 九皇大帝” (The Nine Great Emperors) in the Taoist deities system (Taoist Patheon).

The birth of the Nine Emperors happened to be on the 9th of September in the Chinese Lunar Calendar, and this day was often celebrated as the festival of “Jiu Huang 九皇” by the Taoist in Singapore and Malaysia.

The Nine Emperor Gods are very often known as “Bei Dou Jiu Xing 北斗九星” (9 North Star Plough Gods), since they are Gods of the stars or planets. Their mother, “Dou Mu Yuan Jun 斗母元君” (Mother North Star), is also the Mother of Stars.

The Nine Emperor Gods consist of the following:

1. “Gou Chen Tian Huang Da Di 勾陈天皇大帝” (Vega Star)

2. “Bei Ji Zhi Wei Da Di 北极紫微大帝” (Polaris Star)

3. The 7 Northern Constellation Stars (called “Bei Dou Qi Xing 北斗七星”):
a. “Tan Lang 贪狼”
b. “Ju Meng 巨门”
c. “Lu Chun 禄存”
d. “Wen Qu 文曲”
e. “Lian Zhen 廉贞”
f. “Wu Qu 武曲”
g. “Po Jun 破军”

--Oktoberfest Germany 2010--

Oktoberfest is a 16- to 18-day festival held each year in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, running from late September to the first weekend in October. It is one of the most famous events in Germany and the world's largest fair, with some six million people attending every year. The Oktoberfest is an important part of Bavarian culture. Other cities across the world also hold Oktoberfest celebrations, modelled after the Munich event.
~
The Munich Oktoberfest, traditionally, takes place during the sixteen days up to and including the first Sunday in October. In 1994, the schedule was modified in response to German reunification so that if the first Sunday in October falls on the 1st or 2nd, then the festival will go on until October 3 (German Unity Day). Thus, the festival is now 17 days when the first Sunday is October 2 and 18 days when it is October 1. In 2010, the festival lasts exceptionally until the first October Monday, to mark the 200 year jubilee of the event. The festival is held on an area named the Theresienwiese (field, or meadow, of Therese), often called Wiesn for short, which is located near Munich's centre South East of the main train station.
~
Visitors eat huge amounts of traditional hearty fare such as Hendl (chicken), Schweinsbraten (roast pork), Schweinshaxe (ham hock), Steckerlfisch (grilled fish on a stick), Würstl (sausages) along with Brezn (Pretzel), Knödel (potato or bread dumplings), Kasspatzn (cheese noodles), Reiberdatschi (potato pancakes), Sauerkraut or Blaukraut (red cabbage) along with such Bavarian delicacies as Obatzda (a spiced cheese-butter spread) and Weisswurst (a white sausage).

--China Independence Day 2010--

Independence Day of China
Independence Day or National Days are perhaps the most important day for a nation to honor as a national holiday. For many nations the date of Independence Day may be of a battle fought to gain freedom or the birth of a national hero who helped the country in its struggle for independence. The Chinese celebrate their Independence Day on the 1st of October every year, marking the foundation of the People's Republic of China. The Central People's Government passed the Resolution on the National Day of the People's Republic of China on December 2, 1949 and declared October 1 as the National Day or Independence Day of China.

The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival or Zhongqiu Festival (traditional Chinese: 中秋節; simplified Chinese: 中秋节; pinyin: Zhōngqiūjié; Vietnamese: Tết Trung Thu), is a popular harvest festival celebrated by Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese people, dating back over 3,000 years to moon worship in China's Shang Dynasty. It was first called Zhongqiu Jie (literally "Mid-Autumn Festival") in the Zhou Dynasty. In Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines, it is also sometimes referred to as the Lantern Festival or Mooncake Festival. It is also related to the important Korean holiday of Chuseok.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is held on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese calendar, which is usually around late September or early October in the Gregorian calendar. It is a date that parallels the autumnal equinox of the solar calendar, when the moon is supposedly at its fullest and roundest. The traditional food of this festival is the mooncake, of which there are many different varieties.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the few most important holidays in the Chinese calendar, the others being Chinese New Year and Winter Solstice, and is a legal holiday in several countries. Farmers celebrate the end of the summer harvesting season on this date. Traditionally on this day, Chinese family members and friends will gather to admire the bright mid-autumn harvest moon, and eat moon cakes and pomelos under the moon together. Accompanying the celebration, there are additional cultural or regional customs, such as:
