This incident happened in Guangzhou, China. When a man was threatening to commit suicide by jumping from a bridge was pushed by passer-by! Lai Jiansheng, 66, said he was fed up with the desperate man's "selfish activity" which caused huge traffic jams, so he pushed the guy over the edge. Chen Fuchao fell 26ft (8m) on to an air cushion and is recovering in hospital, the official Xinhua news agency said. Xinhua said Mr Lai was "taken away by police", but gave no further details.
I put the video of this incident earlier... at this post here!!
Difference between the number and the base is called the deviation. For example, if the number is 15, the deviation is (15 – 10) = +5 or simply 5. For the number 6 the deviation is (6 – 10) = -4.
Lets take a very simple multiplication ( 7 x 8 ) = 56.
Step 1: Write the numbers and their deviations from the base 10 which is the nearest base for both,
7 -3
8 -2 _____
Step 2: Now add any number with the deviation of the other. In this case you can add 7 with -2 which will give 5 or, add 8 with -3 to get 5. Note that in both case there should be the same result.
Write the result like this,
7 -3
8 -2 _____ 5/
Step 3: Now multiply the two deviations which are -3 and -2 in this case. The product is +6 Write the product as,
7 -3
8 -2 _____ 5 /6
Hence the result is 5/6 or simply 56.
Now Lets work on a slightly more complicated problem. ( 94 x 108 )
Take the base 100.
94 -6
108 8 _______
Now the Left hand side will be ( 94 + 8 ) or (108 – 6) which is 102
So,
94 -6
108 8 _______ 102/
Now the product of the deviation in this case is ( -6 x 8 ) = -48 which is negative. Remember that we have chosen the base as 100.
94 -6
108 8 ________ 102/-48
Multiply the right hand side result with the base and subtract 48 to get the result.
102 X 100 = 10200 10200 – 48 =10152
Hence the result is 10152. (We have actually done the same thing in the first example which is, 5 x 10 + 6 = 56)
Now take another example (16 x 13) = 208. Here we take 10 as the base.
16 6
13 3 ______ 19/18
Here if you add 18 with the right hand side result, the multiplication will be a mess. Remember we have taken 10 as the base and look at the deviations each of which has one digit. So you must put 8 in the right hand side and carry 1.
16 6
13 3 ______ 19/18
Now add the carry to the right hand side result to get (19 + 1) = 20.
16 6
13 3 ______ 20 /8
Hence the result is 20/8 or simply 208.
Exercise: Verify the results
1. 1003 x 997 (Take 1000 as base) 2. 97 x 89 (Take 100 as base)
Step 1: Take a 2 digit number, say 26 and write it with each digit separated, 2/6. Step 2: Now leave a blank under the number and then draw a horizontal line under like this,
2/6
____ 0/0
Step 2: Put the first digit under the last digit of the number like this,
2/6
0/2 _____
Step 3: Add the two numbers, each digit separately,
2/6
0/2 ____ 2/8
Step 4: The first digit before “/” is your quotient and that comes after”/” is the remainder. Here, 2 is the quotient and 8 is the remainder.
Now for a 3 digit number say, 153 lets proceed in similar way. Step 1: Rewriting the number, last digit separated by a “/” 1/5/6
Step 2: Putting a blank space and drawing a horizontal line under the blank line,
1/5/6
____
Step 3: Add the first two digits which will give you 6. Put that as the last digit in the blank line.
1/5/6
0/0/6 ____
Step 4: Now there is an extra step, again separate the left two digit by a “/”
1/5/6
0/0/6 _____
Step 5: Put the first digit in the next blank space that is, before the “/”
1/5/6
0/1/6 _____
Step 6: Now add the numbers as they are positioned, 1/5/6
0/1/6 _____ 1/6/12
Step 7: Naturally the number that comes last is the remainder. But in this case, the remainder 12 is greater than 9. So repeat the same process for 2 digit numbers. This will give,
1/2
0/1 ___ 1/3 Step 8: Put 3 in the original calculation and carry 1 to the next position that is, to the quotient portion.
1/5/6
0/1/6 _____ 1/7/3
Your answer is quotient = 17 and remainder is 3. Verify the result with the help of traditional method. You will get the same result.
Now let us discuss the same procedure as applied generally to numbers having more than one digit. Take a number 7321 Rewrite it by separating each digit, 7/3/2/1 Now what will come under 1? Obviously the sum of the previous digits. Right? In this case it is 12, again greater than 9 itself. So what we actually consider instead of a 12 is,
1/2
0/1 ___ 1 /3
Thus we put 3 and carry 1 to the next position.
7/3/2/1
0/0/0/3 ______
Again what should we write under 2? The sum of the previous digits brings us, 7 +3 =10, Adding carry 1 , we get, 11. We put 1 and carry 1 to the next position.
7/3/2/1
0/0/1/3 _______
Write 7 + 1 = 8 Under 3 as there is only one “previous digits” left. Then we add the numbers the same way mentioned earlier.
7/3/2/1
0/8/1/3 _______ 8/1/3/4 This gives 813 as the quotient and 4 as the remainder. Verify this too with the traditional process. This gonna be fun.
T-shirt transfer paper allows anyone to create custom t-shirts and other fabric articles, such as aprons, tote bags, book covers, and so forth. T-shirt transfer paper is specially designed to transfer a printed image onto fabric with heat from a household iron. In addition to the T-shirt transfer paper, all that is needed is a printer and a computer with some type of imaging software. Most home printers accept T-shirt transfer paper. The paper is generally sold in packs of anywhere from six to 12 sheets and can be purchased at most office supply stores and retailers.

But during the second stanza, Hill threw a leg kick that Hartt checked with his shin. As Hartt checked the kick, Hill's leg broke in a rather grotesque manner, leaving the crowd in a stunned silence as Hill crumbled to the mat.
The photo was taken during the fight between Dale Hartt and Corey Hill. The caption for the photo reads
