Liu Xiang, the world greatest hurdler, has come to Sheffield, to race at the Norwich Union British Grand Prix on the 15th of July. Sheffield CSSA (Chinese Student and Scholar Association) organised a meeting yesterday with Liu Xiang at Don Valley stadium. Hunderds of students appeared and took photos with him. I've seen some photos on CSSA website in which Liu Xiang was smiling with students. He seemed relaxed and confident. I hope he can to get a golden medal in Sheffield.

Sheffield, ever famed by its sports industry and facilities, has seen a couple of Chinese sports celebrities. The first big name was Hao Haidong, who joined Sheffield United Football Club in 2005. That was heading news in Chinese sports media since Hao was the No.1 footballer in China. Students in Sheffield were excited about Hao's arriving. But Hao didn't bring too much surprise to us during his stay in Sheffield and few of us know where he is now.

The second one should be Ding Junhui, a Talent snooker player from China. His matches have been watched on BBC by people around the world. Now Ding lives and studies in Sheffield.

Then it comes to Li Tie, who used to be a middle field player in Everton Club but joined in SUFC in 2006. Tie's coming didn't attract much attention because he hasn't played any premier league matches for SUFC so far.

Now, it's Liu Xiang's time. There are some big posters of him appearing in Sheffield city centre. I think every Chinese will be proud of seeing his posters here. Wish Liu Xiang give the best performance to the world, in Sheffield.

The argument about racial bullying emerged in Channel 4's Celebrity Big Brother has been really heated in the past two days. Celebrity Big Brother is one of the most famous TV programme in Britain, which present live show of people from different places, staying in a closed house for over three months. During the show, there is no communications between the Big Brother house and the outside world.

The hot public debate was motivated by the unfair and rude treatment against to an Indian actress Shilpa Shetty, primarily made by Jade Goody who rose to fame in the non-celebrity version of Big Brother in 2002 and was ever a British singer. The behaviour of Jade was deemed as racism, which was severely protested by abroad Indian audience and Bitish public as well. Consequently, British politicans including Tony Blair and Gorden Brown have claimed that Britain will never be tolerant to any forms of racism.

I have never seen such strong wind in my life until I was pushed forward by the 'wind' this morning. The wind forced me to walk and I almost had no choice except moving my legs. It may be the first time that I felt exactly the power of the nature. But why the nature did this to human beings?

As reported by BBC, eleven people have died during the strike of the wind. Some of them were killed by falling branches even walls. And public transport has been severely disrupted. BBC used various words such as storm, gale and gust to stand for the 'wind'. Many people's lives were affected accordingly. A bad news to my friend Bernard was that flights in Manchester airport were cancelled.

A not very complicated function took me over one week to work out. It is not because of the complexity of the problem, but due to the fact that I could not 100% concentrate on the work. If I did, it would not take more than two days.

Efficiency has to be emphasised in my dictionary. As I remember, I ever wrote a post about Time Management. The theory is simple, but it's always hard to execute for someone who has not got strong ability to put things on paper into practice. I have to say that I really need to strengthen my execution capability, especially on my research.

This will also benefit my future career and life with no doubt.
