How to distinguish Woodstock and his bird friends

How to distinguish Woodstock and his bird friends (Note: Non-official answer. Just my observation.) (註：非官方答案，純粹本人和身邊的雀友觀察)

All birds are having eight "triangles" as their hair.
😀Raymond: Purple. His second "hair" look like the Japanese word "shi" (し). Sometimes in yellow colour with a sunglasses. (1988-10-13)
😀Harriet: has a red ribbon at her head. 有蝴蝶結。Her tail is in the shape of an equilateral triangle. (1980-05-12)
😀Woodstock: His fourth and fifth "hairs" are in V-shape. 第4至5條毛才是V型。(1967-04-04)
😀Olivier: His third and fourth "hairs" are in V-shape. His fifth "hair" is in an inverted U-shape. 第3至4條毛V型，第5條毛倒U型。(1978-03-27)
😀Conrad: His third and fourth "hairs" are in V-shape. His fifth "hair" is in the shape of a straight line. 第3至4條毛V型，第5條毛直線。(1978-03-27)
😀Bill: His tail is in the shape of a long, flatted triangle - the longest one among all Woodstock's bird friends. Longer by one "eye line". Also, because he is married to Harriet, so he is always with her together. 條尾是長三角形，是咁多個最長的(長多一個眼位)，加上終日和Harriet在一起(已婚嘛)。(1978-03-27)
😀Fred: His third and fourth "hairs" are in a square-root-shape (√). 第3至4條毛開方型(square root, √)。(1990-04-02)
😀Roy: His five "hairs" are all separated. 5條毛也是分開的。He is the only one who does not appear in the Snoopy Street Fair. (1998-04-18)
😀Wilson: with a stick. (1984-12-02)
😀Woodstock grandfather: with a blue hat, eyeglasses and two wrinkles near his mouth. (1994-01-06)

人生中只有2次入過自己讀那間中學的教員室。

第一次是中二，多謝Miss Fung問有無同學可以幫她手拿Maths Worksheets，我自告奮勇舉手say yes, 便有幸參觀了Staff room, 還好記得路過的陳太讚我helpful, 那是我第一次覺得陳太唔惡~

第二次是大學一年級，返母校參加Speech Day, 典禮完了在地下大堂見到鍾太，談了一會之後我問她知不知Ms Wong 係邊？鍾太好好人，二話不說便拉我入去Staff Room找Ms Wong 個位(哈哈，我估是因為全沙官都知Ms Wong is my favourite teacher )，但和Ms Wong 當天緣慳一面了。還好記得立即問鍾太拿memo 紙和筆，在Ms Wong 桌上很不知醜地留下一句"Your lovely student See Yan leaves a footprint here."

實在很懷念在Staff room 蒲的日子~

iTunes accounts required

Dear all Snoopy fans using iOS,

I made a list of iOS Snoopy apps that is exclusively available in certain countries only.

I have created 155 iOS accounts for different countries. (Up to now, Apple offer services in 155 countries out of the 196 countries in the world.) And I have tested all the 155 stores. So I believe that my list is complete.
However, feel free to add more countries or make amendments to the list.

If you need help in creating an iTunes account of a particular country, you may contact me. But sorry that I can only help you to download the free apps.
I have made a video on how to create a free iOS account.

Induction (again)

Prof. K.M. Tsang   10:26 AM (3 hours ago)           Thank you for your email and I am glad that you still remember what I have said in my lectures almost 20 years ago.     The most widely accepted formulation for the system of natural numbers is the system of the Peano Axioms.  You can read a brief description of this from the following link http://global.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/447921/Peano-axioms       As you can see, the fifth axiom here is essentially the principle of mathematical induction.     I already forgot why I spent five minutes to emphasize the difference between "mathematical induction" and the "principle of mathematical induction".  There should be no or little material difference between them, except that we (and students) should understand that mathematical induction is one of the axioms (in the Peano's axiomatic system) for the natural number system, not to confuse it as "a theorem". Hence it is called a "principle".  We can use it to prove many assertions concerning validity on natural numbers.  This is also (logically) equivalent to the well-ordering property of the natural numbers (under the usual order in the system of the natural numbers).     I hope my explanation can be of use to you in your classes.  Let me know if you need further clarifications.     With best wishes,     KM Tsang

An interesting question in Mathematical Induction 2 messages

Dear Prof. Tsang,   I was your HKU student of the course "24114 Linear Algebra" in 1996-1997, many years ago when I was in University Year 1. I have an algebra question that would like to discuss with you (or, to seek your opinion).   What is the difference between "mathematical induction" and "the principle of mathematical induction"? This question sounds rather philosophical, yet I remember at that time, you spend over 5 minutes in your lecture, talking about their difference. And your conclusion is that we should use "the principle of mathematical induction".   However, to be honest, at that time I don't really understand. I just memorize that I should use the phrase "by the principle of induction", and then I tell myself to avoid teaching my students "by induction". Although you know that nowadays HKDSE Maths Module 2 exam marking scheme is not very strict and they even accept phrase like "by M.I.", I still want to teach my students the correct phrase.   So, would you mind explaining it again to me, or is there any reference that I can read myself?   Thank you for your attention!

我係從 logic 角度看 MI 這個問題:
- proposition 絕不等同 statement, P() 肯定只係 proposition, P(k) 才是
statement; 換句話講, 我認為教科書與老師不該使用 statement, 以正視聽.
- 但會考中無必要為考生使用 proposition 還是 statement 作評分考量, 亦無必
要為考生是否串錯 proposition 一詞作評分考量, 因為這只是語文能力問題.
- 但如果考生錯用使用 P(k), 這不是單純是語文能力問題, 大多數情況都顯示考
生對數學歸納法的原理有所不明, 只有死背數學歸納法的機械操作. 最明顯的錯誤
係寫 P(k)= k/6 (k+1)(2k+1), 應予零分, 或在只有局部犯錯下批予小量步驟分.

Pop Up Store奇遇系列(14 episodes)

Pop Up Store奇遇系列(14 episodes)

今日pop up store 奇遇1 (2015/12/25):
D 雞賣光了，應該下星期才有新🐔，但d人仲不斷問有無雞賣。
結論：
small size - WS is more popular.
Large size - SN is more popular.
下次你咪答佢地：唔好意思，呢度無雞賣，或者可以問吓樓上KFC或樓下一田超市⋯⋯
我今晚第四次去睇The Peanuts Movie, 發現最尾字幕話有首歌叫"The Chicken Dance"(雖然我唔知邊首係)，會唔會d人因為咁以為WS is a chicken?
我唔信有人好似你咁細心留意到囉，叫得Woodstock做雞的都應該唔會有耐性睇晒片尾字幕。
我最期待的畫面出現了～
今晚7點pop up store 有人問要細菌。
今晚8點，另一人話要狗蚤。
其實他們要WS...!!
狗蚤已經好過分，竟然有人進化到以為Woodstock係細菌，呢個我都係第一次聽！
BTW，細菌肉眼點見到？🙄

今日pop up store 奇遇1 (2015/12/28)：
有位女士拿起Sally and Lucy的小玩偶，不斷問我Sally和Lucy是誰，我大約講了她們的基本性格後，她問了我3次邊個可愛d。
我不想左右她的決定，所以都係講她們和CB的關係。
最後，她看完Lucy 傾慕 Schroeder 的poster後，要咗Lucy...
Linus Choy：： 佢問我，我一定答Sally，哈哈。
咁又係，雖然Sally成日叫你做心肝BB好煩，但比起成日鬧你的Lucy姐姐，咁Sally真係完勝~
Linus Choy：： 哈哈，麥當勞Linus公仔竟然譯做「魔力小藍毯」，估佢唔到……
AliCe Au：： 我家姐個女係反派…鐘意Lucy，因為佢鬧人個樣得意😅

今日pop up store 奇遇2 (2015/12/28)：
有個約4歲小女孩，着住件Marie衫，但出奇地背曬及講得出昨天TBB那集半小時版花生動畫劇情。
佢拿着WS想佢阿媽買比佢，因為「佢吱吱叫好得意」，「佢昨天差d比人當做火🐔燒來吃好慘」，但阿媽無買比佢。
我覺得她大個應該會是potential Peanuts crazy fans, 好想問佢拿電話/FB踢佢入fan club 收"Lang" (of course 最後無咁做)。

今日pop up store 奇遇1 (2015/12/31)：
有個約2歲小男孩，跑來指住WS大叫"BB" (Woodstock 心諗：我終於不是雞/細菌/狗蚕了！)，然後又指住SN大叫"大眼BB".

今日pop-up store 奇遇2 (我最期待的畫面又來了) (2015/12/31):
阿婆：請問呢度有沒有Hello Kitty 賣?
我：對不起，請上一層log-on. (心裏咆哮：明明小貓KT和小狗SNOOPY是敵家)
婆：吓？呢度唔係賣公仔嘢嗎？
我：不好意思，我地呢度賣的公仔係花生漫畫大電影的角色的。
婆：我剛才看完呢套戲，片尾有Kitty喎！
我：(啞曬)片尾應該沒有Kitty的...
原來...她當了小狗Belle係小貓KT...

今晚pop up store 奇遇3 (2015/12/31)：
有個約十一歲的小男孩自己一個人走入來跟我說話。
男孩：姨姨，出面透明膠櫃的打字機幾多$？(指着Fiona Li的珍藏打字機)
我：對不起，這是我們Snoopy fans 珍藏，不賣的。
男孩：我大把$喎。
我：唔好意思，無價的，非賣品。(心想：你有$定你爸媽有$?爸媽有唔等如要比你，而且我不能代Fiona講價啊！)
他倖倖然走了，但五分鐘後...
男孩：姐姐，出面透明膠櫃的遊戲磁碟幾多$？(指着我的珍藏Floppy disk)
我：唔好意思，無價的，非賣品。(心裏暗叫：我係姐姐，唔好叫老曬! 而且，𡃁仔你識貨喎，雖然我沒有表露身分d碟係我的，也不打算賣)
男孩：咁dup 裏面d game比我吖。
我：...翻版犯法㗎...
最後他買了pop up store 裏的一個80元筆袋，成個過程他父母沒有出現...

今日pop up store 奇遇1 (2016/01/01)：
(1)有個馬來西亞粉絲掃了＄1600貨，是至現時為止的big spender. (不過根據我認識的馬來西亞前Snoopy fan club 會長話過，馬來西亞好少Snoopy shops, 上次她來港，我帶她去旺角Peanuts Show, 她5分鐘已經掃了2千元貨)
(2)有小朋友以為Linus是CB戴假髮版。

今日pop up store 奇遇2 (又一吐血版) (2016/01/01)：
約6歲小男孩一邊入來一邊對住Olaf唱"We wish you a merry dog dog.".
正當我以為他應該唔會當Olaf是叮噹時...
他約8歲姊姊走入來。
弟：家姐我想買剛才電影的兔仔。
姐：剛才邊有兔仔啊？
弟：Snoopy呀!
我：(想暈低)
姐：不如買Charlie吖！
弟：Snoopy個媽媽?
姐：Charlie 係男仔，點做人阿媽?
弟：佢唔係Charlie Mum 咩？(原來他把Brown聽成Mum)
我：(想暈低)
姐：計我話Snoopy似阿媽多d。
弟：Why?
我：(心想:係咪因為成套戲SN都似在照顧CB?)
姐：因為Snoopy大肚吖!
我：(想暈低)
姐弟商量完一輪，決定買$95的小SN, 但臨比$前，弟弟又拿起隻小Lucy.
姐：我無咁多＄吖。你有＄？
弟：係呀，我比吖，我想Snoopy傳d狗細菌比Lucy.
結果，他們買了一SN一Lucy.

今日pop up store 奇遇3 (2015/01/01)：
Pop-up store有售一些台灣緣之誼公司出的 CB/Lucy/WS/Linus cushions，大細和形狀和麥記果d有幾分相似(但麥記平d和隻眼大d)。
約4歲男孩：姐姐，有無Woodstock屋企賣?
我：Woodstock住雀巢，我地呢度無賣的。
他：唔係呀，佢住紅色狗屋㗎。
原來麥記個間紅屋cushion因為黏住隻WS，教壞了一眾小粉絲...
(係咪覺得我d經歷比"90後教師決戰怪獸家長"個page更怪獸及離奇?)

今日pop-up store 奇遇4 (2015/01/01)：
約9歲男孩：有無可兒賣?
我：唔好意思，花生漫畫沒有一個角色叫可兒。
他：曚查查個friend, 綠色衫個男仔啊!
原來他是講Peppermint Patty. 她三粒雀班形狀似數學符號"所以", 我聽錯以為可兒。而TBB譯"chuck"做"曚查查", 呢個叫法好深入民心~
但係...
(1)Peppermint Patty是女孩啊。
(2)乜而家小學咁低年級，咁快教呢個Maths symbol? (利申：我教中學Maths)

今日pop up store 奇遇5 (2016/01/01):
Pop-up store經常有人當我們是商場詢問處，例如「toilet係邊？」「地鐵係邊？」「food court係邊？」
剛才有人問邊層樓有波鞋賣，(我心諗：邊隻牌子先?)我唯有請他去樓下正式的商場詢問處問。
成個過程被一位媽咪和她約3歲的兒子見到，阿媽同個仔指住display隻Snoopy毛公仔講：「辛苦曬你啦Snoopy!」

今日pop up store 奇遇6 (2016/01/01):
約4歲男仔：阿媽你買6隻史"look" "pi"比我吖。(我心諗：6兄弟姊妹?)
媽：最多一隻咋~
仔：史"陸" "pi"嘛，梗係陸隻啦。
阿媽立即拉他走了~

今日pop up store 奇遇7 (2016/01/01):
有2個小女孩在數/爭論SN有多少條頭髮~
無人有興趣數吓隻雞有幾條羽毛？😂😂

今日pop up store 奇遇8 (2016/01/01):
我中途拿我電話出來Whatsapp, 有小朋友行過見到我條SN電話繩, 指住大叫：「豬仔電話繩幾多$?」
(SN心諗: 我幾時做完兔仔又做豬仔?)

多謝各位支持"pop-up store 奇遇系列", 後會有期！
