How to calculate day and date using your fingers?

How to calculate day using your fingers?

31 oct 2016

The date must be minus by 7 or 14 or 21 or 28 if it is smaller than 7.

Therefore, 31 - 28 = 3

There is no need to minus if the date is smaller than 7.

For 2016, we need to add 5 to the number 3 = 8.  If this year is a leap year (29 feb exists), then we need to add 1 after feb, so it will be 6+3 = 9 and 5+3=8 for Jan & Feb.

For every additional year in the future (without leap year), we just increase the number by 1.  For e.g., 2017 is to add 6, 2018 is to add 7.  Once the number reaches 7, it will be reset to zero again and this cycle starts all over again.

Looking at the diagram, October is the first section of the index finger.  As we need to add 5 to 3 = 8, we just count the first section (october) as 1 and move downward 8 times which will end at the first section of index finger (Monday).

Thus, 31 october 2016 falls on Monday.

How to calculate date using your fingers?

What date is last Sunday of October 2016

October is 1st section of index finger.

Since 2016 is to add 5, we will just count the first section (october) as 1 and move downward 5 times which will end at the 2nd section of the middle finger (Friday).  Thus, the next day will always be the 1st date or day of the month (1st oct).  Since we are trying to find the last Sunday, the first Sunday falls on the 2nd date which is 2nd October 2016.

Just do a simple calculation to get the date for last sunday.

1st sunday, 2 October 2016 (add 7 to get the next sunday)

2nd sunday, 9 October 2016 (add 7 to get the next sunday)

3rd sunday, 16 October 2016 (add 7 to get the next sunday)

4th sunday, 23 October 2016 (add 7 to get the next sunday), Continue to add 7 if less than 31

5th sunday, 30 October 2016

Therefore, the answer is 30 October 2016.

Please take note of leap year as you will need to apply the same logic above.

China is having leapfrog technology advancement.

J20 will no doubt beef up China's air force but the real revolutionary change will be China advancement in quantum physics.

No country has a profound understanding of quantum physics compared to China because China has developed working quantum satellite and radar.  Therefore, it is likely that China will be the first nation to produce a quantum computer and that will really change the whole world because of its computing power.

Solution to the maths puzzle.

The puzzle is a 3x3 matrix.  The fastest way to solve this is to divide 15 by 3 = 5.  Since 5 is a common number, we can do a permutation of 15 below.

1 - 5 - 9

2 - 5 - 8

3 - 5 - 7

4 - 5 - 6

5 which is a common number will be placed in the centre box so that other numbers can be connected to it.

We'll start with 1-5-9 in the middle row.  You can put this in the middle column or diagonal row.  Then we will move on with 2-5-8 and place the 2nd smallest number 2 beside 9.  The trick is to place a small number beside a large number.  Thereafter, you can easily fill up the matrix.

Maths puzzle

In this matrix, there are 9 boxes which contain a unique number from 1 to 9 and no repetitive number in each box.  If you add each row and each column, you will get 15 from each row and column.  If you add diagonally, you will also get 15.  Please solve this puzzle.

Baltic dry index - 834

Today, Friday, October 28 2016, the Baltic Dry Index climbed by 36 points, reaching 834 points.

Baltic Dry Index is compiled by the London-based Baltic Exchange and covers prices for transported cargo such as coal, grain and iron ore. The index is based on a daily survey of agents all over the world. Baltic Dry hit a temporary peak on May 20, 2008, when the index hit 11,793. The lowest level ever reached was on Wednesday the 10th of February 2016, when the index dropped to 290 points.

US rig count - 557

HOUSTON (AP) — The number of rigs exploring for oil and natural gas in the U.S. increased by 4 this week to 557.

A year ago, 775 rigs were active. Depressed energy prices have sharply curtailed oil and gas exploration.

Houston oilfield services company Baker Hughes Inc. said Friday that 441 rigs sought oil and 114 explored for natural gas this week. Two were listed as miscellaneous.

Among major oil- and gas-producing states, North Dakota gained five rigs, Pennsylvania and Texas each was up two and Wyoming added one.

Colorado declined by three rigs and New Mexico lost two.

Alaska, Arkansas, California, Kansas, Louisiana, Ohio, Oklahoma, Utah and West Virginia were unchanged.

The U.S. rig count peaked at 4,530 in 1981. It bottomed out in May at 404.

What does 2016 3rd quarter annualized GDP growth of -4.1% for Singapore mean?

Singapore had released its 3rd quarter annualized GDP growth in 2016 for Singapore which was at -4.1%.  What does this mean?  It means that Singapore GDP has been contracting at an effective rate of  0.9896% per quarter (0.9896^4 = 0.959, 0.959-1 = -4.1%) which is about 1% contraction per quarter on a compounding basis.

If we have a 1% expansion per quarter, it will mean an annualized rate of 4.1% (1.01*1.01*1.01*1.01 = 4.1% or 1.01^4 = 4.1%) on a quarterly compounding basis.  Therefore, annualized rate has a compounding element.  I hope this will clarify your understanding on annualized rate.

Singapore was no match for China in Pakistan.

China and SG crossed swords in Pakistan and lost the port contract to China in the end.  SG had no real intention to manage Pakistan port as it would diminish SG port handling capacity since the port was located strategically in the Gulf.

Malaysia to impose 20ringgit road charge for SG cars on 1 Nov 2016.

This is not a simple road charge but a punitive imposition by Malaysia.  There's more to it than just a simple road charge.

Malaysia will not be accommodative to Singapore anymore as it has China support to skin Singapore alive.  There will be harsher treatments from Malaysia in the future as it gets cozy with China.  Malaysia is happy to make Singapore collapse as it has been jealous of Singapore success for too long.

Malaysia PM and businessmen will be visiting China to meet Premier Li from 31 October to 7 November to get China investments to displace and replace the incomes earned from Singapore.  Who knows what else will be discussed on and under the table?

Why is 9 so important to the Chinese?

The Chinese emperor is associated with 9 and the forbidden city has 9999 rooms in total.  If a person lives in every room since birth, he will be 27 (9999/365).

Therefore, the forbidden city has a secret number 9 which is an amazing connection.

Why is 7 an important number in Egypt? Why are there 7 days in a week?

7 is an important and significant number in Egypt because 7 is found everywhere in the pyramid.

1/7 = 0.142857
Look at the digits 142857

1 * 142857 = 142857
2 * 142857 = 285714 ===> the same numbers are rotated
3 * 142857 = 428571 ===> the same numbers are rotated
4 * 142857 = 571428 ===> the same numbers are rotated
5 * 142857 = 714285 ===> the same numbers are rotated
6 * 142857 = 857142 ===> the same numbers are rotated
7 * 142857 = 999999 ===> the rotation stops at 7 and the numbers 999999 appears.

How is 142857 related to 9?

1+4+2+8+5+7 = 27, 2+7 = 9

Let's break up 142857
14+28+27 = 99, 9+9 = 18, 1+8 = 9
142+857 = 999, 9+9+9=27, 2+7=9

Do you see the amazing connection now?

142857 stops or ends the rotation on 7 which also means that 7 is the end of everything for ancient Egypt.

Death knell is bellowing for Singapore! Future is febrile for Singapore.

Synopsis of our success

The success of Singapore is due to our trading hub status which is derived from our entrepot trades and our financial hub status is ensued from our international trading.  As we trade internationally, we require more banking and financial services like loans, insurances, forex exchanges, payment cum receipt systems and so forth to support our trading activities.  Conversely, no country can be a financial hub without gargantuan trading activities.  Therefore, being a trading hub is vital to the success of Singapore and it guarantees our survival.  The prerequisite to be a trading hub is to have many FTAs so that we can achieve the efficacy of international trading better than other solitary countries.  This is the primal reason for Singapore to support RCEP(Spearheaded by China) and TPP(Spearheaded by USA).

As TPP is highly unlikely to be approved by USA since both USA presidential candidates object to the TPP proposed by Obama, Singapore can only rely on RCEP.  However, our strategic alliance with USA and anti-thesis attitude towards China do not bode well for Singapore. 

China defensive plan

China has come up with its grandeur one belt one road economic development plan for the world to counteract USA.  In a nutshell, China is linking up the world with its road and sea links.  As USA proclaimed Singapore to be its anchor in Asia, China had to obliterate Singapore economically for it to control Asean.   Sadly to say, Singapore will be the first economic casualty in this tactical gambit between the two titans.  USA is using Singapore to gain an advantage while China is skinning Singapore to gain its advantage.  The antiquated USA tactic of controlling the strait of Malacca from Singapore won’t be able to contain China anymore.

China will make Laos the land transshipment hub as the railway routes can transport goods from Europe to Asean and vice versa.  This will greatly reduce the demand for sea freights and diminish Singapore strategic port location.  Furthermore, China is helping many countries to build and manage ports that will cut down shipments to Singapore or even bypass Singapore.

China has built ports and oil cum gas pipelines in Myanmar and Pakistan so that its crude oil from Middle East can bypass strait of Malacca during war times.  Moreover, other goods can be offloaded from these ports and be transported to China via the railway.  China is also using Malaysia to reduce the economic growth of Singapore by investing in Johor and building the Malacca port.  Besides all these developments, there is also a revival discussion on the Krai canal sea lane in Thailand which will make Thailand the Panama of Asean.

Forming strategic alliance with USA has served Singapore well but time has changed.  China is doing all these to counteract USA for its own survival and the main culprit is USA that is the aggressor.  USA has shown to be a selfish nation which adopts neighbor-thy-beggar economic policy and is proven to be an unreliable and incredible ally.  History has shown that USA will sacrifice its allies for its own interest and Singapore is just a pawn to USA.  The latest examples are Saudi Arab and Taiwan.  These 2 countries have suffered economically because of USA in recent times.

-->

Anti-Singapore sentiment had begun to brew in China after Singapore allowed USA P8A spy plane to station in Singapore.  Therefore, we cannot be lured into the deception that relationship is still cozy with China as there are joint industrial and provincial projects in China.  If Singapore still persists in pursuing in USA interest, the day of reckoning will hit us harshly once the one road one belt developments become operational.

What's wrong with this article?

http://news.asiaone.com/news/asian-opinions/chinas-perception-singapore-4-areas-misunderstanding

Asset and liability
China has realized its mistake to regard Singapore as a Chinese nation and the Chinese caucus has been advising the communist party not to do that recently due to anti-China remarks.  I wonder this is good or bad for SG as China will regard SG as just another sovereign without preferential treatment and SG will lose its facilitator role.

Singapore's commitment to Asean
Majority of Asean support China stance in South China Sea.  Only SG and Vietnam support USA stance in South China Sea.  How can there be unity in Asean with 2 Asean countries go against China among its 10 members?  One cannot just keep preaching unity without practising it.

Relations with major powers
If SG didn't side with USA, China diplomat won't demand SG to stay out of South China Sea in August 2016.  This is the first time that China used such harsh attitude towards SG.  Relationship with China has definitely gone south recently.

Different world views
Everyone wants a rule-based world but this rule-based standard must be applied universally.  In other words, no country can impose its will on others by might which is an ideology that we all strive to achieve.  This rule-based standard cannot be selectively applied.  For example, only certain countries can use might to rule this world but others cannot.  Who attacked Iraq without UN mandate with fabricated intelligence that Iraq possessed WMD? Who went around setting military bases in the world?  How come USA can meddle in South China Sea when it is a non-claimant? The reason is simple: USA has the might to do it!

We support all states to follow UN convention on the law of the sea but this convention can only be interpreted and served by a true and legal court.  ICJ is the only true and legal international court but not PCA.  One cannot enforce PCA ruling on one country but oppose PCA ruling on another country.  Therefore, we cannot ask China to adhere to PCA ruling but allow Australia to reject PCA ruling.  Philippines filed the case in PCA but not ICJ under the instruction of USA.  Why PCA but not ICJ?  This is because ICJ will throw out this case as it contravenes the ICJ jurisdiction.

Secondly, Philippines has accepted that the South China Sea islands belong to China unknowingly by requesting China to let Philippines fishermen to fish near the islands.  If the islands don't belong to China, you won't request permissions from China.  This is a simple logic.  How come Philippines doesn't request permission to fish in South China Sea from USA?

Philippines has finally realized who is foe and who is friend.

http://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/us-philippines-to-end-military-exercise-a-day-early

Philippines terminated its joint military exercise early with USA because Duterte had realized that the exercise was not beneficial to Philippines.  The joint military exercise was performed with all USA weapons and technologies and USA would take back all its equipment after the exercise leaving Philippines operational readiness ineffective without USA equipment.

Therefore, if China and Philippines were to wage a war against each other, Philippines would be wiped out fast and furious without USA equipment.  USA would not supply all the equipment that Philippines needed to win the war at the expense of USA.  How did Duterte come to this conclusion? He took the leaf out of Crimea to form this conclusion because USA did nothing to help Crimea when Russia annexed it.

Philippines also realized that South China Sea became an issue after USA decided to get involved iand USA was the real troublemaker wherever it went.  Therefore, Duterte decided to turn the situation around by getting cosy with China for the greater good.

This is what will happen when anti-taiwan & anti-hong kong sentiments take root in China people.  SG cannot offend China and hurt the feelings of the Chinese or else they will shun SG.  Therefore, our government should stop making anti-china remarks like supporting Japan to stop apologizing for WW2 atrocities and so forth.

Russia and Turkey signed gas pipeline accord.

This is an important milestone for Russia as this pipeline will allow Russia to connect to Europe for its gas sale and also bypass Ukraine which is the other alternative.  Ukraine will suffer economically as it is being alienated by Russia when Russia stops supplying cheap gas.

US rig count - 524

HOUSTON (AP) — The number of rigs exploring for oil and natural gas in the U.S. increased by two this week to 524.

A year ago, 795 rigs were active. Depressed energy prices have sharply curtailed oil and gas exploration.

Houston oilfield services company Baker Hughes Inc. said Friday that 428 rigs sought oil and 94 explored for natural gas this week. Two were listed as miscellaneous.

Among major oil- and gas-producing states, Oklahoma and Texas gained two rigs each while Alaska, Louisiana and Pennsylvania were up one apiece.

Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and West Virginia each declined by one.

Arkansas, California, Kansas, North Dakota, Ohio and Wyoming were unchanged.

The U.S. rig count peaked at 4,530 in 1981. It bottomed out in May at 404.

Poor turnout at Shanghai Disneyland for the golden week holiday in China.

Shanghai Disneyland is the first retail victim of the golden week holiday in China.  The visitorship has dropped so much that it takes only an average of about 5-10mins to queue for every activity in Disneyland.

Why is this phenomenon happening so fast when Shanghai Disneyland had just opened a few months ago?

Is the pricing too high? It is a known fact that the price is about 20% cheaper than HK.

Is anti-American sentiment brewing in China that Chinese are avoiding the theme park?

Golden week holiday in China will show how China perceives SG.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-09-29/singapore-s-golden-week-courts-china-tourists-as-retail-falls

SG has started to prepare for the Golden Week holiday in China and is courting China tourists to come to SG.  The SG retail result will be an indication how China perceives SG after our PM's anti-china remarks in USA and Japan.  If there is a drop in retail sales from China tourists, it will likely indicate that anti-Singapore sentiment has taken root in China, just like what happened in Taiwan.

http://news.asiaone.com/news/singapore/singapore-envoy-refutes-china-report-south-china-sea
This article could be the harbinger for the anti-Singapore sentiment in China.

Recently, China caucus has been advising China communist party not to regard SG as Chinese and should treat SG as a normal sovereign without a Chinese root because SG has been making anti-China remarks.  Once this anti-Singapore sentiment starts brewing in China, we cannot turn back the tide and our economy will suffer.

Nonetheless, let's hope for the best and monitor the retail sales figures.
