GoI: Eight Wings of Mekhane

Description: Like any religion the Church of the Broken God has had several revisions, resurgence, divisions, and unifications between the various churches under the religion. Each one views their god in their own way whether it be based on traditionalism, extremism, or a more modern/ liberal approach. But the Eight Wings of Mekhane is a more unusual approach to the religion. The Eight Wings of Mekhane is an international church started in 19[data expunged]. Years of war with the Sarkites and desperately protecting their beliefs and anomalous items has been hard on the Mekhanites. It was only natural that the Church of the Broken God became divided, and the fragments formed their own churches. However, by unknown means, very few devoted Mekhanites found one another and despite being from different churches united into their own church. Thus, the Eight Wings of Mekhane was born.

The Eight Wings of Mekhane is an international church that exist in secluded areas of the United States, Canada, Germany, Italy, Korea, the United Kingdom, Singapore, China, Russia, Japan, and possibly other areas. The Eight Wings of Mekhane are an extremely particular church in that it doesn't recruit publicly but instead tries to recruit members of other Churches of the Broken God. pertaining to their goals the Eight Wings of Mekhane try to increase their numbers by uniting other churches of the same faith. The only reason or way the Eight Wings of Mekhane recruits outsiders is when a member marries an outsider.

Organization: The Eight Wings of Mekhane is seemingly divided being made up of secluded areas around the world and divided into 8 different sects with different teachings, values, and methods; However, the Eight Wings of Mekhane maintain their unity through various methods of communication. Similar to the Chruch of Maxwellism, the Eight Wings of Mekhane don't have a traditional hierarchy with a single Pope, Archbishop, or High Priest being at the top. Instead, it's a council of representatives of the people within the church or in other words the one of the eight "Wings". each representative stand side by side within a council to represent the entirety of the group. Despite the technological differences, no one member or "wing" is considered higher than the other. A member belonging to a wing simple refers to what kind of augmentations and machinery they use as well as what form of "prayer" they perform. Regardless of what "Wing" they come from; most, if not all members have mechanical wings augmented to their bodies, fully capable of flight.

1st Wing of Clockwork - Mekhanites who have willing Infected themselves with a strain of SCP-217. As such they have been turned into robots with a clockpunk aesthetic. They are the oldest and typically most secluded sect within the Eight Wings of Mekhane. They are also the most numerous and warrior-based of the Wings. They design their clothing and housing structure is based on British colonialist era aesthetic.

2nd Wing of Steam - Mekhanites who rely on steam and wind power for their machines and augmentations. These members infect themselves with a different strain of SCP-217 created by an unknown ritual. As such like the 1st Wing of Clockwork they lack any and all human characteristics and instead become robots with a steampunk aesthetic. Like the 1st Wing of Clockwork, they are an older and more numerous Wing of Eight Wings of Mekhane. Despite their capabilities to create steam powered weapons and machines they are quite reserved and prefer to avoid conflict. They tend to design their housing and fashion, with a Victorian era aesthetic.

3rd Wing of Diesel - Mekhanites who have replaced their blood with Diesel by an unknown ritual. This Wing is the most militaristic with everyone in a 3rd Wing community possessing a gun or is augmented with one. Despite their seemingly fascist lifestyles the members of the 3rd Wing are actually quite friendly even to outsiders. Though of course they rarely interact with outsiders for obvious reasons. They tend to decorate their housing and attire based on an imperial German aesthetic.

4th Wing of Atomic - Mekhanites who have replaced their hearts with a geothermic reactor and bones are made of a stable form of irradiated metals by an unknown ritual. Through their prayers they are able to emit massive amounts of energy form their bodies and use said energy to power their machinery. They are considered the most spiritual of all the Wings but also the most dangerous. They represent the reason why humanity as a whole is not yet ready for Mekhane's glory. They have no ill will towards outsiders, but they rarely leave their communities for obvious reasons. They do have armor that contain the radiation they emit but they only wear them in war times and to wear it for the sake of outsiders is considered an insult to Mekhane. They style their housing and attire based on a style similar to a 1950′s American suburban style.

5th Wing of Metal - Mekanites who's brains and other internal organs are made up of Zinc, Lithium, Magnesium, Potassium, and Graphite by an unknown ritual. Unlike the other Wings, members of the 5th Wing go more for internal augmentations rather than external augmentations. As such their communities are more connected to the outside world and is often quite close to outsiders. Thanks to the close connection and communication between the Wings they act as a sort of spies for the Eight Wings of Mekhane as a whole. They're also the ones to trust when finding other sects of the Church of the Broken God and recruiting them into the Eight Wings of Mekhane. Uncommonly but not rarely, 5th Wings tend to work alongside members of the Church of Maxwellism in technology-based corporations to slowly implement more advanced technology into humanity. They are the only wing with more modern attire and housing, unlike other Wings they do not stick to the aesthetic of a single culture.

6th Wing of Bio - Mekhanites who's are often confused for other Wings despite the clothing and housing difference. 6th Wing communities consist of farmers who have augmented themselves with modern tools to help them cultivate and harvest fruits, vegetables, and meats. Because of their relationship with organic life, they are sometimes mistaken for not being Mekhanites at all. In reality, these Mekhanites use a ritual to turn organic material they consume into fuel for their augmented bodies. They are by far the most mysterious of all the Wings. Because members of the 6th Wing can convert organic material into fuel, they like to hunt down and terrorize Sarkites. They are not well known for their weapons, but they are the best when it comes to taking down clans of the Sarkic Cult. Though they do it more as a source of entertainment rather than a duty, often leading to them being called the most sadistic of the Wings despite their seemingly peaceful lifestyle. They’re attire and housing could be considered modern as it is typical farming attire and housing, depending on the region they live in.

7th Wing of Solar - Mekanites who have artificial skin that act as solar panels. Considered the most aesthetically pleasing to look at given the way their skin and wings shine like crystals in the sunlight. They are considered the most peaceful of all the Wings but also the second rarest. They typically don’t wear clothing and don’t have designated housing. Not much else is known about the 7th Wing, however it has been theorized that they act as living satellites to establish communication between distant communities.

8th Wing of Cyber - Mekhanites that don't even look human but instead resemble cybernetic androids from the future. Possessing the most advanced technology Mekhanites have to offer, the 8th Wing is the most advanced and powerful of all the Wings. However, because of their technology they are also the most hidden. The 8th Wing is very secretive, rarely showing themselves even to the other Wings unless they absolutely have to. They also have no clothing but do have advanced cybernetic housing that exist either in space or underground. Though the Eight Wings of Mekhane as a whole consider themselves the defenders of humanity and technology, the 8th wing considers themselves the defenders of all other Wings.

Feathers - Very rarely do any of the wing's form specialized groups like the SCP Foundation's Mobile Task Force, and the Global Occult Coalition's Strike Team, but when they do their referred to as "Feathers". They are labeled by a serial number with the Wing number being first and the Feather number being second, for example #W/#F. The Feathers were only created to assist the Eight Wings of Mekhane in tasks that is too much to ask of the common member of the church. As such members of a Feather are the bravest but also the most likely to perish for the Eight Wings of Mekhane. On the rare occasion that a Feather is made up of two Wings then the serial number will be #-#W/#F or even #-#-#W/#F. The Feathers are the greatest example of the Eight Wings of Mekhane’s devotion and power.

Priest - Each community of each wing has a priest which stand as a representative and leader. Sometimes referred to as Elders, Village Chief, or Mayor; the Priest's hold the village together and are in charge of the prayers as well as the yearly celebrations where different Wings of a single community join together and meet with other Wings in a sort of Mekhanite festival. It is unknown how, but they are also responsible for giving reports on their respective communities to their respective Saints.

Saints - Not much is actually known about the saints, their existence was only known thanks to the Anomalous Correction and Protection Alliance meetings. They are the one true representatives of their respective Wing, meaning there are only Eight in total. How they could possibly represent every community in the world of their respective Wing is unknown. Theoretically they have been alive for centuries, are the founders of the Eight Wings of Mekhane, possesses unknown but powerful abilities, and [data expunged] but nothing is confirmed.

Communities - despite certain members belonging to different wings, they all stay close and connected as a united people. They do so by establishing areas to live and work they simply call Communities. When a community is established, their size typically spans to the average size of a village or a small town. Though that's just the surface, underground they make even more space available for their members if needed. They prefer to go underground rather than expanding outwards as to minimize exposure to outsiders due to overwhelming size.

The Eight Wings of Mekhane like to section off said communities into 2 to 6 different sections depending on how many wings are present in a community. Due to 7th and 8th Wings being rarities among all other Wings, they are normally not given their own sections and instead freely live and travel in-between sections whenever they please. The purpose of being in a single community but being divided in different sections depending on Wings is to remind them that although they are different, they are still the same children of Mekhane and no differences between one another can change that.

Purpose and Goals: The Goal of the Eight Wings of Mekhane is to unite all the divide Churches of the Broken God. They represent the end goal that humanity must achieve for when the day comes when Mekhane and her children will be whole again. They believe that only when her children are united, Mekhane will be restored and become stronger than ever. In the eyes of the Eight Wings of Mekhane both humans and machines are Mekhane's children and must be preserved by any means necessary. The Eight Wings of Mekhane consider themselves the secret protectors of Mekhane's children.

Unlike most sects of the Church of the Broken God, Eight Wings of Mekhane are actually in favor of secrecy. They believe that humanity is not yet ready for "Mekhane's glory" and thus, work closely to the shadows until the day they believe it's time to break the veil. It was because of this that the Eight Wings of Mekhane became a member organization of the Anomalous Correction and Protection Alliance.

Affiliation with the Foundation: Because of the Anomalous Correction and Protection Alliance; The SCP Foundation, Global Occult Coalition, Horizon Initiative, and the Church of Maxwellism consider them allies. However, the SCP Foundation, Global Occult Coalition, and the Horizon Initiative are weary of the Eight Wings of Mekhane, the same with the Church of Maxwellism. While their goal is to preserve secrecy for as long as possible, the Eight Wings of Mekhane are in favor for the preparation of the veil to break one day. Surprisingly members of the Horizon Initiative and the Eight Wings of Mekhane get along quite well despite the Initiative's rough history with Mekhanites as a whole.

The Eight Wings of Mekhane work surprisingly well with the Chruch of Maxwellism and despite their goals, have respected the wishes of the members of the Chruch of Maxwellism to remain independent. Though of course the Chruch of Maxwellism and Eight Wings of Mekhane see Mekhane in a different light and therefore can occasionally conflict in faith and goals. Thankfully it has never gotten to the point of absolute and violent conflict.

The Eight Wings of Mekhane absolutely despise the Sarkites as all Mekhanites do; However, they consider Children of the Scarlet King, The Church of Fifthism, the Scriptures of Rotten Flesh and Cybernetic Bones, and SAPPHIRE to be greater threats. Unlike most Mekhanites the Eight wings of Mekhane consider the Sarkites more of an annoyance than a proper enemy.

Unlike the Church of Maxwellism the Eight Wings of Mekhane hate Abstergo Industries, Prometheus Labs, and Anderson Robotics as they view them as butchers and enslavers of machines. They are also aware of The Factory and despise their heinous crimes against both biological and synthetic life. Like all other organizations the Eight Wings of Mekhane hunt down and kill any and all surviving or resurrected Daevites.

The Serpents Hand and the Eight Wings of Mekhane see one another as potential allies but with the Eight Wings of Mekhane wanting to preserve the veil of secrecy for now while the Serpents hand wanting to destroy it immediately; their relationship is left complicated.

Description: “NCIS History-Special Agent Vietnam is a comprehensive account of naval counterintelligence and criminal investigations in Vietnam. Doug Hubbard's first-hand experience provides unique insights into this little explored topic of the war, and the addition of a broad spectrum of his photos complements the narrative with a real life appeal. In an era when the term "terrorism" was not yet in vogue, NIS' investigations of insurgent attacks against US troops is a grim reminder of current threats our military faces in Afghanistan and around the globe on a daily basis.” Michael Sulick, Former Director, CIA National Clandestine Service “Although the Viet Nam War gives up its secrets grudgingly, former special agent Douglass Hubbard unveils an intriguing account of U.S. Naval Intelligence operations in the Republic of Vietnam. Drawing on his three years’ service in Vietnam and his subsequent research and interviews, Hubbard weaves a masterful story with 'NCIS History Special Agent Vietnam' that is equally inspiring and frustrating-just as the war itself proved to be.” Colonel Joseph H. Alexander, USMC. (Ret.) author of the Battle History of the U.S. Marines “Doug Hubbard Jr. explores the seamy underside of the Vietnam War from his ‘catbird seat’ as a special agent of the Naval Investigative Service. At the most there were never more than twenty-one of these Naval Intelligence officers serving in-country, and they had to deal with an overload of such unsavory matters as counter espionage, sabotage, black marketing, currency manipulation, simple theft, drug trafficking, subversion, rape, and murder. Sometimes these investigations came to a brilliant resolution that Sherlock Holmes would have applauded. More often they foundered because of command apathy or indifference.” Brigadier General Edwin H. Simmons, USMC, Chief of Staff of the First Marine Division in 1970, former head of the Marine Corps History Branch, and author of Frozen Chosin: US Marines at the Changjin Reservoir “Doug Hubbard’s exposition with NCIS History Special Agent Vietnam defines a period of counterintelligence development in the Vietnam conflict and records its events for the first time. Compiled personal recollections of wartime special agents make this historical narrative a defining work in the legacy left by the group of Naval Intelligence professionals who devised rules for counterintelligence and force protection in the challenging and dangerous arena of Vietnam in the 1960s. Theirs was a monumental contribution to the U.S. government’s efforts to achieve stability in the Republic of Vietnam, particularly in the early days of the mission when much was accomplished by a select few.” Maynard C. Anderson, former Assistant Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Security Policy

Review - It was a decent book with a lot of historical information on the Vietnam War and NIS's members. The main problem with the book was how light it was on actual cases vs pages and pages of commentary of who was assigned when and where. Another major issue were the multiple misspellings (Viet Congo is a common one) and repeated paragraphs. It's not unreadable, but it had issues. But for the historical information, and a few insights into deserters, fraggings, and a few interesting cases, it's worth a read.

Happy 94th Birthday, Professor Wang Gungwu! This photo was taken during my archival and field research at the East Asian Institute, National University of Singapore (2005). Professor Wang received his B.A. (Hons) and M.A. degrees from the University of Malaya in Singapore and his Ph.D. at the University of London (1957).

His teaching career took him from the University of Malaya (Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, 1957-1968, Professor of History 1963-68) to The Australian National University, where he was Professor and Head of the Division of Pacific and Asian History (1968-1986) and Director, Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies (1975-1980).

From 1986 to 1995, he was Vice-Chancellor (Head) of the University of Hong Kong. He was the Director of the East Asian Institute of the NUS from 1997 to 2007 and founding Chair of the NUS Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy in 2004.

He is a Commander of the British Empire (CBE, 1991), Fellow and former President of the Australian Academy of the Humanities, Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Science, Member of Academia Sinica, Honorary Member of the Chinese Academy of Social Science. For his distinguished achievements as an expert on the history of China and Southeast Asia, he was conferred the Fukuoka Asian Cultural Prize (1991), the Tang Prize (2007), and Singapore's Meritorious Medal (2013) and Distinguished Service Order (2020).

He became the 3rd person to be named a University Professor by the NUS (2007). He received honorary doctorates from the University of Melbourne (1997), the University of Hong Kong (2002), the University of Cambridge (2009), and the NUS (2022).

During his vice-chancellorship at the University of Hong Kong, higher education in Hong Kong expanded enormously, and the University accepted its highest-ever intake of students. A firm believer in the benefits of globalization, Professor Wang strongly encouraged international activities and exchanges with overseas institutions. Under his support, the University established the University of Hong Kong Foundation for Educational Development and Research, the first of its kind at the local tertiary education level, to foster stronger links with the community and enhance the University's capacity for teaching and research.

In 2005, through Dr. Wang’s recommendation, I became a visiting scholar at the NUS Asia Research Institute (ARI). While working on my book Migrations and Meditations (2016), I discovered that Dr. Wang authored Pulse (1950), the very first published collection of poetry in English in Malaysia and Singapore—long before he became an eminent scholar. He recalls visiting UP Diliman in 1950 to attend a creative writing workshop conducted by Philippine National Artist for Literature N.V.M. Gonzalez. Dr. Wang remembers his contemporaries, notably the iconic Filipino poet and dramatist Virginia Reyes Moreno. He also recalls that with funding and support from American companies and institutions, many Filipino writers were fortunate to gain access to creative writing and literature programs in American universities.

Dr. Wang turned 94 on 9 October 2024. To honor his legacy, NUS Press released a new and more affordable paperback edition of Home is Not Here (2018), his memoir: https://buff.ly/4bST3ZC

“Singapore with a singaBORE main” UFC Fight Night: Askren vs Maia preview

Joey

October 20th, 2019

When the UFC signed up to do a multi million dollar stretch of shows in Singapore, I have to imagine this wasn't QUITE on the menu. This show isn't awful but compared to what's coming down the pike with the MSG card, the Vegas PPV, a really solid card in South Korea and such, this card is only worth discussing due to its early start time. Still there's good stuff to discuss here! It's a nifty 11 fight card starting early in the morning with some good HW fights on it and an "intriguing" main event. Let's see what happens.

Fights: 11

Debuts: Loma Lookboonmee, Don'tale Mayes

Fight Changes/Injury Cancellations: 4 (Karol Rosa vs Julia Avila CANCELLED/Jarjis Danho vs Greg Hardy CANCELLED/Yan Xionan OUT, Randa Markos IN vs Ashley Yoder/Brad Tavares vs Ian Heinisch CANCELLED)

Headliners (fighters who have either main evented or co-main evented shows in the UFC): 6 (Demian Maia, Stevie Ray, Michael Johnson, Beneil Dariush, Sergey Pavlovich, Randa Markos)

Fighters On Losing Streaks in the UFC:

Fighters On Winning Streaks in the UFC: 7 (Demian Maia, Muslim Salikhov, Laureano Staropoli, Beneil Dariush, Maurice Green, Ashley Yoder, Sergey Pavlovich)

Ben Askren- 1-1 Demian Maia- 3-3 Michael Johnson- 2-3 Stevie Ray- 2-3 Muslim Salikhov- 2-1 Laureano Staropoli- 2-0 Beneil Dariush- 2-2-1 Frank Camacho- 2-3 Cyril Gane- 1-0 Don'Tale Mayes- 0-0

2019 Number Tracker

Debuting Fighters (37-58-1)- Loma Lookboonmee, Don'tale Mayes

Short Notice Fighters (28-36)- Randa Markos

Second Fight (52-35)- Movsar Evloev, Raphael Pessoa, Ciryl Gane, Rafael Fiziev

Cage Corrosion (Fighters who have not fought within a year of the date of the fight) (22-38-1)-

Undefeated Fighters (38-37-2)- Ciryl Gane, Movsar Evloev

Fighters with at least four fights in the UFC with 0 wins over competition still in the organization (11-8)- Frank Camacho, Stevie Ray

Weight Class Jumpers (Fighters competing outside of the weight class of their last fight even if they’re returning BACK to their “normal weight class”) (29-22)- Michael Johnson

Twelve Precarious Ponderings

1- I've seen some folks who take the Askren vs Maia booking as some sort of punishment for Askren because it's an early morning show overseas BUT let's be 100% fair and point out that Askren spent the better part of the last 4-5 years fighting in Asia and SHOULD have some semblance of name recognition. In this case he probably serves more good as the main eventer on a random Asian show than he does as the 3rd or 4th fight in MSG or what have you. I mean if he doesn't then why did you even sign him?

2- Who is this main event appealing to? I can understand SOME genuine appeal in this fight for the grappling purists out there I suppose but even that feels limited. I just think if you took 100 MMA fans and brought them into a room and said "Would you like five rounds of Askren vs Maia?", the slimmest of slim percentage of them would say "Oh man, love it. Bring me all of that." It's a fine main event pitting name value vs name value and I guess style vs style but the appeal feels so limited. I really hope this isn't what that group in Singapore expected to be paying for when they made this multi-million dollar deal with the UFC for the next five years or so.

3- Even with a win, is Askren officially "done" in terms of flirtations as a #1 contender? Usually a win over Demian Maia takes you right to #1 contender status. In this instance, it feels like Askren is sort of kind of in the Vitor range where anything short of a string of stoppages will keep him firmly from the title picture.

4- Is Michael Johnson vs Stevie Ray the most random co-main of 2019? I can't imagine it's got a lot of competition for the spot.

5- Laureano Staropoli vs Muslim Salikhov is a really interesting fight for a variety of reasons. For starters, Staropoli has real potential to become yet another solid Argentinian fighter in the UFC's fold. He's 2-0 and coming off a decision win over Thiago Alves in Brazil. He's a balanced striker who seems to excel in those back and forth firefights where he can outlast his opposition. Thats going to be a problem against Muslim Salikhov who is beginning to find his groove in the UFC. Every second this fight stays standing and at a pace befitting of Muslim is a second closer to losing in a most brutal fashion. Can Staropoli wrestle more than we've seen him do so far?

6- If I had a fighter like Frank Camacho, I'm not sure that I'd put him up against a guy who is primarily coming to wrestle with Beneil Dariush. Dariush is going to try to Drew Dobert it except he can't strike as good as Dober so we're setting up for a lot of wall and stall. Thumbs down.

7- If you're not hot on heavyweights, lemme chit chat with you a bit about how some of these HW fights are pretty good:

With the UFC talking about doing a show in France in 2020, Ciryl Gane figures to be an impressive dude to follow. The muay thai stud/Ngannou sparring buddy won his UFC debut without much issue and the French born fighter will be given ample opportunities to show out. Dontale Mayes is the rare THREE time DWCS talent who lost his first fight but won the next two by stoppage. Mayes' upside may be in a role like this as a hard hitting prospect tester. One thing which stood out was how much weight he lost between all three Contenders Series fights.

Sergey Pavlovich vs Maurice Greene is a REALLY interesting fight. Mo Greene was a bit of a gimmick who got the villain edit on TUF but he's fought three times while the winner of the show has pretty much disappeared. Greene hits really hard, attacks from awkward angles, doesn't have good wrestling but has some wacky BJJ off of his back and so far his cardio hasn't been awfl. On the other hand, Sergey Pavlovich has gone from Russian prospect du jour to "maybe he's good?" UFC fighter. Pavlovich's first win was against Junior Albini and Mo Greene's best win as of right now is Junior Albini so here we are. Good evenly matched fight on paper.

Raphael Pessoa vs Jeff Hughes kicks off the show and Huges was considered to be one of the top HW prospects prior to getting into the UFC. To this point he was upset by Maurice Greene (who he had beaten on the regional circuit) and looked to be potentially en route to getting slop stopped by Todd Duffee prior to an eye poke no contest. This is like the bottom of the barrel in terms of opposition and if Hughes loses this one, his career is in deep doo doo.

8- Speaking of Maurice Greene, can we just pretend that he won the TUF season if he wins this fight vs Pavlovich?

9- Enrique Barzola vs Mosvar Evloev is an interesting fight because it pits arguably the most exciting Russian prospect in the UFC under 155 lbs against a really solid featherweight who can do some stuff to challenge Evloev. Barzola's a superb wrestler who has endless pressure and cardio while Evloev has excelled thus far in the UFC as a slower paced grappling machine despite showing more on Russia's regional circuit. We haven't seen Barzola do much counter wrestling and Evloev figures to test that in spades IF he fights like he did in his debut.

10- Randa Markos is still relevant at 115 lbs which feels like a credit to her but also a knock on the speed (or lack thereof) by which this division is advancing.

11- Who has the cardio advantage between Maia and Askreen going into the championship rounds? Gotta be Ben, right?

12- Is this the most irrelevant card of the year?

2016 in a nutshell

It's time to make bawi! I tried to go back to 2016, and I realized it was then when I was slowly becoming busier by the day, and posts weren't as often as it used to.

So, here's a post to wrap up 2016!

(I based my 2016 on my tweets since I used to be more active in Twitter)

2016 was probably the start of the hardcore college days. I was already in my 3rd year, and if I'm not mistaken, it was the year where the majors are at its highest number of units, so I was overload. Plus, we had SAD 2 (Software Engineering class) in the first semester so we had to implement our SAD 1 proposal, and we had Thesis 1 in the second semester.

Aside from that, I was a part of the dance crew of our division when I was in college, so I often competed in a lot of dance competitions especially in school events. I had to juggle dance practices and acads from June to August.

But ya girl was awarded as one of the five most outstanding 2nd year students in the university! (Although I was in 3rd year, the evaluation was based on my performance when I was in 2nd year.

By December, we went to Manila for a programming competition at Ateneo de Manila University and although it was so hard, we got into the top 10 Philippine Teams!

Celebrated my Christmas and New Year with my family and relatives in Singapore! It was actually my first time to travel outside the Philippines for a vacation. Definitely one for the books!

That pretty much sums up my 2016. I just realized it's 3 years ago.

Evaluate Insurance, Credit score Card Or Mortgage In Malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR - Insurance coverage has developed from being product-centric to customer-centric, according to Nice Japanese Life Assurance (M) Bhd director and chief executive officer Datuk Koh Yaw Hui. Nice Eastern affords Islam-compliant insurance services to cater 60.4% of Malaysia's inhabitants of 28.3mln. Deluxe plans are essentially the most comprehensive, and include a Concierge, collision and harm insurance coverage, in addition to very excessive medical and baggage protection. Your dying profit options might differ in response to the annuity contract or life insurance coverage policy.

As an AIA Vitality members, you can get pleasure from free additional protection or an upfront discount off your first yr premium once you buy selected AIA insurance coverage policies. The Small, Medium Enterprise Banking division offers providers to small and medium enterprises in Malaysia. Nevertheless, previous to cancellation, you should notify Nice Jap Life Assurance (Malaysia) Berhad by way of a written discover.

I think you might be confusing your self with the aim of life insurance coverage and medical insurance. Interteach affords access to 23 medical centres and 26 medical factors at remote areas, dispatching providers around the clock, over 300 extra clinics, fifty three ambulances, 156 ambulance crews, 2 specialized X-ray mobile cars, more than 70 extra dental clinics, experience in group of medical evacuation and repatriation services.

Aided by the various policy accessible, AIG is able to providing a top quality plan to customers from varied industries, which incorporates firms in the hospitality & leisure, import & export, vitality, retail, communications, along with media & expertise sector. I am over 65 years of age and have Medicare medical insurance, which does not cover something exterior the U.S. That is one principal cause I bought the trip insurance coverage.

You should buy multiple health insurance insurance policies from different providers. Our schegen travel insurance coverage covers these international locations. Premium is the fee that you simply as the insured has to pay for an insurance plan. In line with Bank Negara Malaysia's (BNM) mid-12 months efficiency report, the insurance and takaful sector grew by +630 base points and the post-stress Capital Adequacy Ratio (AUTOMOTIVE) stood above the 130% mark.

To add more strength to their current health insurance policies, the company has added features like lifelong renewability and portability. Funds totalling RM16.8 million in life insurance claims have been settled to the next-of-kin of passengers and crew members of the Malaysia Airlines flight MH370. Singapore-based mostly insurer Nice Japanese Holdings (GEH) has stated that it has not but given closing approval to a proposed MYR2 billion (SG$660 million) contribution to satisfy foreign ownership requirements in Malaysia.

Allianz Malaysia Berhad is a Malaysia-based investment holding firm. Our core insurance coverage businesses, excluding Validus and Legacy, skilled net losses attributable to 3rd quarter occasions of $748 million in Japan, emanating from 5 occasions and $439 million in North America, emanating from eight events, with the vast majority of the remaining losses arising from prior quarter catastrophes.

The insurance policies had been sold on Allianz's web site since December 2015 and, though the agency's solicitors raised concerns in regards to the advertising claims at the moment, had been only removed earlier this yr. In instances of medical emergencies, you'd need your medical safety to have the ability to provide you with added peace of mind, enabling you to have entry to correct medical care.

She was appointed to go AIA, a leading life insurer in Malaysia with total property value RM51 billion (as at 30 November 2017) and one among AIA Group's prime five markets, in June 2015. For instance, with a toddler life insurance plan, you may plan for your kids's upbringing, their education and even their marriages, proper from the day they're born.

With large-ranging plans that cowl your home and its valuables, Maybank house insurance coverage claims to ensure you and your loved ones receive the required help in your hour of need. The AIA Vitality membership 12 months can start on any day of the calendar yr. At this time, Prudential annuities are just one of many many services supplied by the corporate.

With a low penetration rate of insurance, for instance 54% for life insurance, and a healthy financial growth coupled with a relatively younger population, the prospect for the insurance coverage trade seems to be promising. Tencent established Hetai Life Insurance Co Ltd in July, 2015, which started business officially final year after receiving regulatory approval.

I also suspect the person questioning this seems like insurance coverage agent from company where the corporate does not carry standalone medical products, and their medical card rider is comparatively costly compared to others. The phrases and conditions or guidelines of the AIA Vitality Program (including for any exercise or benefit). Earn AIA Vitality Points for endeavor a variety of health assessments.

As a part of the transaction, Maybank's investors are expected to receive shares within the insurance coverage company in proportion to their existing holding in the financial institution, the sources mentioned - adding that no new cash is expected to be raised within the itemizing. ALIM affords a comprehensive vary of life and medical health insurance and funding-linked products and for the monetary 12 months 2010, ALIM recorded a gross written premium (GWP”) of RM 1.03 billion and is without doubt one of the fastest rising life insurers in Malaysia.

If you happen to apply for or register to grow to be a member of the AIA Vitality Program or activate your AIA Vitality Membership, you may be bound by these phrases. Allianz World Assistance does not charge for this service. A-Plus Med is a complete medical plan that has an growing annual restrict so that you may be certain of all the time having sufficient medical safety for yourself and your family members.

However, one of the appealing features of travel insurance coverage is the fact that touring companions and members of the family (spouses, home companions, youngsters, grandparents, grandchildren, daughters- or sons-in-law, nieces and nephews, and so forth.) depend in the case of lined causes for canceling your cruise. Some insurers are hopeful that BNM (Financial institution Negara Malaysia) might prolong the deadline but they realise that they nonetheless need to have a tentative deal in place ahead of the deadline,” said one particular person aware of the talks.

Jayaraj, that is the way standalone medical card works regardless of any insurance corporations. Any Prudential life insurance policyholder (assured) can register as a PRUaccess plus person. We might at our sole and absolute discretion waive the annual membership price, the requirement to be insured underneath an eligible AIA Bhd. Allianz Malaysia's enterprise insurance contains hearth, engineering, and legal responsibility insurance.

CF Lieu can also be listed under Featured CFP Professionals in his professional affiliation web site - FPAM (Financial Planning Affiliation of Malaysia). Traders in Singapore who're all in favour of insurance firms - our local stock market has insurers akin to Great Japanese Holding Restricted (SGX: G07) and United Abroad Insurance Restricted (SGX: U13) - could need to be taught more about Allianz Malaysia too.

Al Wehdah FC - Singapore’s Band of Brothers (Original Form)

About

Photo Credit: Al Wehdah FC

Al Wehdah FC is a completely All-Arabian social soccer team that comprises of Singapore’s very own Arab community all of whom are mainly Hadrami from Hadramawt-Yemen descendants. The Hadramawt-Yemen descendants are made up of Baalwies (Syed’s) and Masyaikhs (Sheikhs).

Their name - Al Wehdah, derived from a local community organization called The Arab Association Singapore, which is also known as Al-Wehdah Al-Arabiah bi Singhafura or Al-Wehdah for short.

Photo Credit: Bicentennial

Formed on the 11th of November in 1946, this community organization has been actively participating in numerous Donation Drives, Bursary Award Ceremonies and even Campaigns like Eidul Adha’s “Gift of Love”, to name a few.

Its namesake albeit one that focuses solely around soccer and nothing more, Al Wehdah FC, was formed a couple years after the organization kick started.

Although the exact year remains a mystery to many including their current players, there’s a black and white photograph extracted from Singapore’s Berita Harian showcased an All-Arabian line-up clad in a somewhat vintage football gear coupled with the words “Pasukan Bolasepak Al-Wehdah Al-Arabiah bersama dengan jurulatih mereka” which translates to “The team Al-Wehdah Al-Arabiah with their coach”.

Photo Credit: Al Wehdah FC

The origins of this picture was shrouded in mystery. It surfaced across one of their social media platforms after a user chanced upon it. Nonetheless, it’s able to serve as a pivotal evidence over how this team had existed decades back, long before color photography entered the picture.

Despite existing for years, it may come as a surprise to some over how this team had actually been inactive for a certain period of time.

Just like their aforementioned history, the reasons that brought upon this period of inactivity is a conundrum. Rumors has it that it may be due to work commitments or other personal engagements.

Regardless, this particular period has long been shelved aside to make way for a reincarnated Al Wehdah FC team comprising of both old and new players.

A team that makes one question if their previous state of inactivity was merely a tale of fiction judging by how consistently active they’ve been in the social soccer scene these days.

The Players, Uniform & Logo

Their team now has a potpourri of both old and young players alike making their age range stretch from as young as 17 to 40.

Their determination to make this team a promising one is first seen via their uniform and logo revamps.

In 2017, they had a new set of jerseys with a completely blue ensemble. Today, Al Wehdah FC can be seen donning either their all red or white/red kits.

Photo Credit: Social Football Sg

Each jersey featured the community organizations symbol, a miniature Singapore flag at the upper left hand corner along with their brand new logo.

This logo was a tricky one for they had to think of what reflects them as players and how they fare on the field.

The outcome?

A lion.

Photo Credit: Al Wehdah FC

And not just an ordinary lion. It’s a lion equipped with a mane that features the crescent and five stars from Singapore’s flag thus making this logo self-explanatory as to what it represents.

The Matches

Al Wehdah FC is currently actively participating in two tournaments - Social Football League (SFL) and the all new Noah League Cup. The latter only started three weeks ago on the 3rd of January, 2019 featuring other teams like El Retador pitting against another called Smileys FC. More information on when Al Wehdah FC will compete in this Noah League Cup and against which team will be revealed soon.

Photo Credit: Al Wehdah FC

On the other hand, they’re currently placed forth on Division 3’s SFL scoreboard.

Apart from official tournaments like the aforementioned ones, Al Wehdah FC also organizes and participates in friendlies on a regular basis.

The most recent friendly match of theirs was done on 2018’s Christmas Eve and was called the International Friendly Xmas Special. It involved a team of Algerian players from Maghribe FC and just like their other tournaments, it was free for all.

Photo Credit: Al Wehdah FC

That match kicked off around 9.30pm and went all the way to extra time and penalties. It finally ended with a satisfying draw of 4-4.

An active veteran albeit not too ancient player who also happens to be one of Al Wehdah FC’s goal scorers in the International Friendly Xmas Special - Syed Mohamed Alkaff, was keen on providing more information about his teams activities.

Photo Credit: Syed Mohamed Alkaff

“Most of the tournaments are based in Singapore, basically for this team, it is just us Arab boys getting together for the love of football and togetherness.”, he explained.

When asked if Al Wehdah FC’s matches are, like the friendlies and aforementioned tournaments, strictly Singapore-based, he said, “We’ve had overseas tournaments in Malacca which happens yearly. 2017 and 2018. The Arab Association of Malacca, “Al-Wafaa”, were the main organizers for 2 years running and gets together all the Arab boys from different parts of Malaysia to represent their states. We were invited too.”, he elaborated.

He was referring to the annual Arab Futsal Cup. Their participation for this particular cup in 2018 appeared fruitful for they emerged seven hundred dollars richer after securing third spot which was no mean feat what with the strife competition around them.

Arab Futsal Cup 2018 also shared a special place in the hearts of Al Wehdah FCs players for one of them, Wafy Bentaleb, for whom they touted as “our one and only Mo Salah”, became the top scorer of this tournament and was awarded a Golden Boot Plaque thanks to his eight goals.

Syed Mohamed Alkaff

Syed Mohamed Alkaff has always been interested in sports. He was known as the boy who is adapt with his feet.

Now, at the age of 28, he is a Recruitment Consultant who knows no such thing as ‘being tired’, especially when football is involved. Juggling with work, personal life and of course, Al Wehdah FC league games and friendly matches, it’s a wonder how he manages to handle all that without either jeopardizing one of them or being drained one bit.

Photo Credit: Syed Mohamed Alkaff

He first joined Al Wehdah FC when he was merely 16 years old.

“It was around the period of time when the team got “revived” after years of inactivity.”, he quipped.

Fast forward to 2019 sees him as a loyal veteran player who has been steadily featured as one of Al Wehdah FC’s key players and even has a hand in managing the teams affairs.

Adel Alkaff

Al Wehdah FC is also known to be forward thinking. They already have a list of players that are slated to join their team in the near future. One of them is none other than Syed Mohamed Alkaff’s very own cousin, Adel Alkaff.

Photo Credit: Adel Alkaff

This 29 years old man has had experiences of playing with Al Wehdah FC as a goalkeeper but he did so on a rather inconsistent basis due to work and other personal commitments.

Photo Credit: Adel Alkaff

Nonetheless, his contributions albeit sporadic, must have left an impact for the team since no one was against the idea of him being a permanent member.

That idea will soon become a reality for he’s slated to be an official member come February or March this year.

Coach

Although they have members aplenty be it at this moment and in the future, one thing seems missing in the Al Wehdah FC’s soccer equation - the coach.

They’re a team with no coach but they do have three passionate volunteers - Syed Mohamed Alsree, Hussain Harharah and of course Syed Mohamed Alkaff himself, all of whom manages the administrative side of the team – both on and off the pitch.

“We don’t have an official coach. But we do have a contact person. Who oversees the team stuff and all.”, Adel Alkaff explained.

He also added, “Just senior players and stuff. But sometimes, we have Malek Awab coming down to support and all.”

Malek Awab

Malek Awab is a former Midfielder for Singapore’s National team from the 1980s to 1990s. He also played for Tampines Rovers, Home United and Woodlands Wellington consecutively - all of which are S. League teams.

Photo Credit: Malek Awab Facebook

His stint as a professional Midfielder came to an end in 1999 as to which he proceeded to work at a sports equipment company called Pacific Sports Pte Ltd. whereby he headed all of the football equipment distribution department. He has been working there even till today.

Photo Credit: Four Four Two

His name may ring a tune of familiarity to some, for he, just like Fandi Ahmad, is one of the familiar figures when Singapore’s football scene is in question.

Photo Credit: Boothype

He is, after all, not only a Midfielder but a Vice Captain of the National Team who managed to win the Malaysia Cup not one or two, but four times.

He is also the man behind the record for the most number of international caps for Singapore.

Hence, when Malek Awab comes to observe Al Wehdah FC, he doesn’t just view them like an astronaut fanatic does during a stargazing session. With his vast amount of experience and knowledge about all things football, he imparts pearls of wisdom that no matter the quantity, is equivalent to being coached for Al Wehdah FC.

What to Expect Next

Al Wehdah FC is slated to have their first match for the Noah Leagues Cup on the 29th of January, 2019 at Tampines Hub.

They will be going against a team that goes by the name of Ezu Pelaajat FC.

Photo Credit: Social Football SG

This tournament is free and will occur from 9pm onwards.

If you are feeling financially constrained or have some time to spare, go ahead and witness this tournament for it’ll certainly yank you off from the throes of boredom, all without the need to spend a single penny.

Description: Even as a boy growing up amid the green hills of rural Pennsylvania, Robert W. Black knew he was destined to become a Ranger. With their three-hundred-year history of peerless courage and independence of spirit, Rangers are a uniquely American brand of soldier, one foot in the military, one in the wilderness—and that is what fired Black’s imagination. In this searing, inspiring memoir, Black recounts how he devoted himself, body and soul, to his proud service as an elite U. S. Army Ranger in Korea and Vietnam—and what those years have taught him about himself, his country, and our future.Born at the start of the Great Depression, Black grew up on a farm at a time of great hardship but also tremendous national determination. He was a kid who toughened up fast, who learned the hard way to rely on his strength and his wits, who saw the country go to war with Germany and Japan and wept because he was too young to serve. As soon as the army would take him, Black enlisted. And as soon as he could muscle his way in, he became a Ranger.As a private first class in the 82d Airborne Division headquarters, Black withstood the humiliations of enlisted service in the peacetime brown-shoe army. When the Korean War began, he volunteered and trained to be an Airborne Ranger. In Korea, this young warrior, his mind and body bursting with the lusts of adolescence, grew up fast, literally in the line of fire. In clean, vivid prose, Black describes the hell of giving his all for a country that lacked the political resolve to give its all to a war against the North Koreans and the Chinese.If Korea was frustrating, Vietnam was maddening. The heart of this book is devoted to the years of action that Black saw in Long An Province starting in 1967. Black writes of the perplexity of collaborating with South Vietnamese officers whose culture and motives he never fully understood; he conjures up the sudden shock of the Tet Offensive and the daily horror of seeing fellow soldiers and innocent civilians slaughtered—sometimes by stray bullets, often by carelessness or treachery. Vietnam challenged everything Black had come to believe in and left him totally unprepared for the hostility he would face when he returned to a war-weary America. Written with extraordinary candor and passion, A Ranger Born is the memoir of a man who dedicated the best of his life to everything that is great and enduring about America. At once intimate in its revelations and universal in its themes, it is a book with profound relevance to our own troubled time in history. From the Hardcover edition

With Professor Wang Gungwu at the East Asian Institute, National University of Singapore (2005). Professor Wang received his B.A. (Hons) and M.A. degrees from the University of Malaya in Singapore and his Ph.D. at the University of London (1957).

In 2005, through Dr. Wang’s recommendation, I became a visiting scholar at the NUS Asia Research Institute (ARI). While working on my book Migrations and Meditations (2016), I discovered that Dr. Wang authored Pulse (1950), the very first published collection of poetry in English in Malaysia and Singapore—long before he became an eminent scholar. He recalls visiting Manila in 1950 to attend a creative writing workshop conducted by Philippine National Artist for Literature N.V.M. Gonzalez. Dr. Wang remembers his contemporaries, notably the iconic Filipino poet and dramatist Virginia Reyes Moreno. He also recalls that with funding and support from American companies and institutions, many Filipino writers were fortunate to gain access to creative writing and literature programs in American universities.

Dr. Wang is now 92 years old.
