Ariayang Nov 17, 2018, 5:50 AM"'Stone Story' from Crag Some travelers traveled to a village. While they are hungry and tried to ask for food in the village, no one there is willing to part some food to them. The travelers decided to bring in a big pot, lit some fire, put in a stone, and started to boil. A villager got curious, stopped by, and asked about what is boiling in the pot. The travelers explained they are boiling a 'stone soup', which is gonna be really delicious and they are willing to share with the villager. However, the soup still needs a bit of garnish, which they are missing, to improve the flavor. The villager, anticipated to try the soup, and does not mind adding some carrots into the soup. Another villager stopped by and the travelers told him the same story. He added some seasonings. As more villagers got curious and added more ingredients into the soup, eventually, the soup transformed into a delicious one and everyone got their share of the 'stone' soup. By searching wikipedia, it turns out there are many variations of the story mostly in Europe. In Eastern European version, it's an 'axe soup' instead of 'stone soup'. In French, Hungarian and Russian version, it is solders coming home instead of travelers passing by. There is even a Chinese version about three monks making the 'stone soup' (which I don't think I've heard of). "View my Commitment

ndesmedt Nov 16, 2018, 8:29 AM""How To Read Hands at No-Limit Holdem" Lot of time reading this one today. A lot of critique, analysis, and exercises. I have decided the fun way to put this into practice will be to share notes of old hands with a friend every day and we will each try to read the possible hands of the other's opponent. There is also a computer software that works on hand reading that will be more engaging than the pen-and-paper bracket notation format the author encourages in his exercises. "View my Commitment -

Ariayang Nov 15, 2018, 1:46 PM"While the plane was delayed, while waiting for further updates of the flight, I drifted to sleep, woke up, got in some readings of ‘TF’s 4 hour week work’ book, browsed ‘Bloomberg’s Chinese edition’ magazine, and idling. At one point, the flight attendant announced because one person insisted on leaving the plane, we missed the original schedule, and we had to wait additional 40 minutes delay. I felt unbelievable and realized my possibility of catching up with the connection flight just became very slim, I stared blank at the flight attendant while she’s talking with another passenger. The magazine stayed open at one page for quite a few minutes. After I put down the magazine, the young man sitting next to me started talking to me. It’s interested that his conversation attempts started with, ‘I was wondering where you usually live and what you do. I have been watching you for quite a while now. You are different from other people. Not angry, not frustrated. You did not move during all these time. Your breath pattern did not even change a bit for the past hour. You are very different and I seldom see that.’ And our conversation just started from there. As time went, he started to tell me about his work, his confusions, his reflection of life, his struggles. What he said is he think he can look for help from me. He confessed with me about his ‘strange’ habits. He exposed his vulnerability that he said he rarely mentioned to other people. I shared some of my experience, some of the suggestions, and some of the soup I’ve been reading. I am not sure how much he can understand or take away. I am glad if I can help a bit. I ended our conversation about an hour before landing while drifting to sleep again. And I hurried out trying to catch my next flight. So we did not have a chance to properly say good bye. I did say good luck to his future. And I do mean it. Those unexpected encounters during travel, or life, makes life interesting. "View my Commitment

Ariayang Nov 14, 2018, 8:58 AM"There is clearly a management gap between the biggest airline company in China, Air China, and a US airline company, for example, United or American Airline. I am not sure if it’s the management gap, or it’s just because of people’s mindset. Like other things in China, rules can be bended as long as the person has power. Even on an airplane. So, we were on this flight from Hong Kong to Beijing. Many on this flight have connection flights thereafter. For no obvious reason, the flight is delayed. It’s scheduled to leave on 8:15pm. Without a clear notice, the flight almost only started boarding at 8:15pm with an estimated departure at 8:35pm. At 8:35pm, people are still looking for their seats. Obviously, it has to be delayed again. After a while, we were told the scheduled time is 10pm. Great. Now my layover time changed from 2hr 45 minutes to 1hr. I should still be able to make it, I think. About 10 minutes before 10pm, one passenger decided to leave the plane. I am not sure how he convinced the flight attendants. Surprisingly, he managed to get off, with a checked-in luggage which needs to be removed from the flight as well. Great. 10 mins after 10pm, another announcement came in. Because of the passenger leaving plane and getting his checked-in luggage off the plane, we missed the 10pm departure time slot. The new time now is around 10:40pm. How great is that! How unbelievable! The flight’s schedule can just be pushed out by one person’s impulsive decision? With a full flight of people waiting endlessly? Just because of this one person? Now I wonder who he is… And the funny story is, even at 30mins before the newly scheduled time, the flight attendants are still asking if anyone wanted to get off the plane before it’s too late. Like they still have time to manage to get people off and retrieve their luggage off the plane without delaying the schedule again? I cannot believe it. Story continues. Later we knew the plane has a group of people trying to transfer to Milan, and another group to transfer to Munich, The people to Milan has to miss it because there’s no way to catch their flight. But for Munich group, there are 6 of us, and when I got to the point of transfer, I’m still 15mins before departure time. I thought with some running, and since this delayed flight and the Munich flight are both Air China flight, they should be able to wait for us to board. But the transfer assistance lady checked my ticket, and simply told me, you missed your flight. We changed your ticket. ‘What? It’s only 15 mins after boarding time, and still 15 mins ahead of departure time. Can’t you just talk to them?’ ‘No, because of you are late.’ ‘Hey, it’s not my fault that I’m late. It’s your company’s fault and you should be able to do something.’ ‘Sorry. You need to go the counter to change your ticket.’ Great. I really don’t understand their logic. It’s a long haul flight, and they will definitely make up the time. The checked luggage might not be able to make the connection, but the people still can. With just some simple communications, they can save a lot of trouble of re-booking everyone’s ticket. They need to work all these extra hours. The passengers are tired at 2am already and have to wait more than half of the day for the next flight. Who’s the winner of this situation? No one. Such a strange operation. Many of the passengers on the same boat decided to avoid Air China in the future as much as they can. One other passenger mentioned trying to avoid connection in big cities since delay is almost unavoidable. ‘Air control. Weather condition. ‘ are just examples of the many non-explainable excuses they usually use for long unexpected delays. Also, the entertainment system is horrible. Very slow system response. Not much to choose from. Not enjoyable at all. Really bad experience with Air China this time. I have to say, although we all know United service is bad, their operation is a whole lot better than Air China. There’s no comparison. "View my Commitment -

Write 2 articles in English per week. (300 words per article) I love writing and thanks carmen's help. As always, I keep learning. 3. Practice Acentsway 4 hrs per week and finish all 8 modules by November. I promised myself to start over again. Pretty soon, this week will be the kick off date. 4. Read an English book per month. Reading article is my replacement. Not bad, good progress. 5. IELTS practice ( 3 items out of Listening, Reading, Writing or Speaking) per week. I find out a method but I take time to change it.
