For those already working at Deloitte and those who have done their medicals, we ask these questions cos we feel you would identify with our worries.

HONG KONG — A confrontation in Hong Kong
between pro-democracy protesters and the police
continued into a second day on Saturday, as dozens
of students were arrested after occupying the
forecourt of the local government’s headquarters.
Thousands of supporters remained in the area, and
some said the confrontation was a forerunner of
bigger protests expected next week.

“We came to support the students, who merely
wanted a dialogue about our demands,” Iris Cheung,
a university student who had joined the crowd, said
Saturday. “But you can see that the government
doesn’t want dialogue,” she said.
“Now Occupy Central will be bigger, because people
will be angrier,” Ms. Cheung said. She was referring
to Occupy Central with Love and Peace, the city’s
main pro-democracy movement, which is expected
to hold a sit-in next week in Central, Hong Kong’s
financial heart.

The demonstrators are protesting China’s plan for
changing how Hong Kong elects its top leader, the
chief executive, starting in 2017. The current chief
executive, Leung Chun-ying, has backed the plan,
which for the first time would let the public vote for
the top leader; Mr. Leung and his predecessors were
selected by a committee dominated by Beijing
loyalists.

But critics say that vote would be meaningless,
because the plan includes procedural hurdles that
would screen out candidates who do not have
Beijing’s implicit blessing.

The latest protests erupted on Friday night, at the
end of a week-long boycott of classes by university
students to protest China’s election plan. The
students, many of whom had gathered near the
government headquarters, were joined on Friday by
hundreds of high school students, and that night
the peaceful rally gave way to a night of torrid
protest.

A group of 200 or so students evaded the police and
stormed into the forecourt near the entrance of the
government headquarters, known to the
demonstrators as Civic Square, which had recently
been blocked off from the public. A ring of police
surrounded the protesters inside the forecourt, but
hundreds and eventually thousands of protesters gathered outside the fence, most of them
apparently in support of the students.

“We didn’t come for violence,” said Paul Leung, a
recent university graduate who came to support the
students and stayed for much of the night. “The
Civic Square belongs to the people, not the
government. We have the right to be there, to
demand that the government dialogue. But instead,
they sprayed us, treated the students like criminals,
not like citizens.”

By Saturday afternoon, dozens of additional police
officers with shields and helmets had moved into
the forecourt, and the remaining students were told
they had five minutes to leave before force would be
used. Amid jeers from protesters on the other side
of the fence, the police one by one prised away the
protesters, who had joined arms. Sixty-one people
were arrested, the police said.

In a society with a tradition of reverence for
education, the students have drawn an outpouring
of support from classmates and other residents,
some of whom sent piles of bottled water, tissues
and snacks to the demonstrators on Saturday. Some
residents saw echoes of Beijing in 1989, when there
was a surge of public support for students who
occupied Tiananmen Square, before the protests
were brutally suppressed.

“They are ready to pick up the democracy baton
from the student movement in China in 1989,” said
Sonny Lau, 57, who came to support the students
early on Saturday morning, when he said he was
pepper-sprayed by the police. “Part of our success
would be to put pressure on the Communist Party
by getting the world’s attention.”

Since Hong Kong was returned to Chinese
sovereignty in 1997, the former British colony has
kept its own independent courts and legal
protections for free speech and assembly, as well as
a robust civil society. But many democratic groups
and politicians say the city’s freedoms are eroding
under mainland China’s growing political and
economic influence.

Occupy Central is expected to announce soon that it
will hold sit-in protests in Central starting on
Wednesday, China’s National Day, which is also a
public holiday in Hong Kong. Chan Kin-man, a co-
founder of Occupy Central, has indicated that the
announcement will be made Sunday.

The Hong Kong Federation of Students said
Saturday that the protest would go on at least into
the night. The Hong Kong government’s secretary
for security, Lai Tung-kwok, warned people to stay
away from the area.
“Right now, there are still a considerably large
number of people gathering there,” he said. “I appeal to them that they leave as soon as possible,
and to other people not to go to the government
headquarters or join in associated activities.”

Social media channels have overflowed this week with commentary on whether Apple‘s new iPhone 6
Plus bends under pressure, particularly in a pants
pocket.

Turns out actual complaints to the company, at least so far, are much less prevalent.

“With normal use a bend in iPhone is extremely rare
and through our first six days of sale, a total of nine
customers have contacted Apple with a bent iPhone
6 Plus,” Trudy Muller, an Apple spokeswoman, said
in a statement. “IPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus meet or
exceed all of our high quality standards to endure
everyday, real life use.”

The statement comes after some early adopters complained that the new iPhone 6 Plus, which is
significantly larger than previous generations of the
iPhone, was permanently bending from simply being carried in a pocket for long periods of time.
After one new iPhone 6 Plus owner on Tuesday complained that his phone warped after sitting in
his front pants pocket during a long drive, the story
was quickly picked up by technology blogs and news outlets.

Lewis Hilsenteger, who runs Unbox Therapy, a YouTube channel dedicated to showcasing the latest
tech hardware, filmed himself straining to bend an
iPhone 6 Plus with his bare hands. The video has been viewed more than 25 million times in less than two days.

Apple performs “rigorous tests throughout the entire development cycle including three-point bending, pressure-point cycling, sit, torsion and user studies,” according to Ms. Muller. “IPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus meet or exceed all of our high quality standards to endure everyday, real life use.”

As Apple has grown bigger and more successful, it
has also become a bigger target for criticism. The
company says it sold more than 10 million iPhone 6
and iPhone 6 Plus smartphones over the first three
days of release, a new record for the company.

Some of the attention is self-inflicted, however. In 2010, early buyers of the iPhone 4 reported problems with the device’s cellular antenna, which
caused dropped calls due to the design of the phone. An Apple executive responsible for the project left the company over the incident.

And this week, Apple released a software update to
the iPhone that was supposed to fix some early bugs in an updated version of its mobile operating
system, iOS 8. The update made some users’ phones unable to make or receive calls, and also rendered the touch identification technology software useless, according to reports. Apple quickly withdrew the software update, and has said it planned to release a new software patch in short order.

Diego Maradona's Quotes:
"There would be no debate about who was the best footballer the world had ever seen - me or Pele. Everyone would say me"

"Everybody in Argentina can remember 'the hand of God' in the England match in the 1986 World Cup. Now, in my country, the 'hand of God' has brought us an Argentinian pope"

"I am black or white, I'll never be grey in my life"

"The problem is that they are all stars at Madrid. You need someone to carry the water to the well"

"If I could apologise and go back and change history I would do. But the goal is still a goal, Argentina became world champions and I was the best player in the world"

"If you don't want to play clean football then go up into the stands"

Diego Maradona on his rival to the 'world's best ever player' award, Pele...
"Pele should go back to the museum."

Diego Maradona on the entire nation of France and its greatest football star...
"We all know what the French are like and Platini as a Frenchman thinks he knows it all."

Diego Maradona on fatherhood...
"My legitimate kids are Dalma and Giannina. The rest are a product of my money and mistakes."

Diego Maradona on sportsmanship...
"I was waiting for my teammates to embrace me and no one came, ... I told them, 'Come hug me or the referee isn't going to allow it.'"

Diego Maradona on smashing the car of a photographer.. .
"I did it with the hand of reason."

Diego Maradona on being voted Fifa's joint
Player of the Century...
"The people voted for me. Now they want me to
share the prize with Pele. I'm not going to share the
prize with anybody."

Diego Maradona on World Cup 1998, and clearly not anticipating this one...
"The players have all got square feet. They are like
Robocops, they have more need of lubricant than
massage. I don't believe the tournament could be worse."
Diego Maradona on his political affiliation...
"I believe in [Venezuelen President Hugo] Chávez, I
am Chavista. Everything Fidel [Castro] does, everything Chávez does, for me is the best."

Diego Maradona on his team's work ethic...
"I have 23 wildcats prepared to leave their skins on
the pitch."

Diego Maradona on American politics...
"I think Bush is a murderer. I'm going to head the
march against him stepping foot on Argentine soil."

Diego Maradona on proving the doubters wrong...
"To those who did not believe: now suck my d**k -
I'm sorry ladies for my words - and keep on sucking
it. I am either white or black. I will never be grey in
my life. You treated me as you did. Now keep on
sucking d**ks. I am grateful to my players and to the Argentinian people. I thank no one but them. The rest, keep on sucking d**ks."

Maradona shortly before retirement.
"I was, I am and I always will be a drug addict. A person who gets involved in drugs has to fight it
everyday."

Maradona on Pele:
"He took the wrong pill. Instead of taking the pill for before bedtime, he took his morning pill. He got confused. I suggest that next time he takes the right medication and that he changes his doctor"
Maradona advises that his foe reviews the medicine
he is taking after he claimed that Neymar was a better player than Lionel Messi.

"Why would you compare me to Pele? My mother said I'm stronger and that he played with players who couldn't even move"
Pele’s opponents during the fifties and sixties weren’t the most athletic of specimens, according to El Pibe.

"While presenting this year's Ballon d'Or to Cristiano Ronaldo, Pele uttered his name as 'Cristiano Leonardo'. This just shows where he belongs"
In the museum, Diego? Maradona reacts to Pele
mispronouncing Cristiano Ronaldo's name at the
2014 Ballon d'Or ceremony in Zurich.

"My God, that is just stupid. Maybe Neymar is the best player in the world, but only if you say that Messi is from a different planet"
Maradona is still unimpressed by Pele’s opinion that
Neymar is the best player in the world.

"I don't like comparisons with Pele because of the stupid things he says. He keeps on saying stupid stuff when he takes the wrong pills"
As of 2013, Pele had still yet to get his medication
right.

"The good thing when we talk about Messi and me is that there is a colored man at FIFA who isn't happy that we are being discussed."
Maradona suggests that Pele becomes jealous when
critics discuss who is the best Argentine of all time.

"This is maybe due to old age affecting his thought processes. You can't blame the guy, he hasn't been doing anything for the past 20 years. I haven't even seen him in a supermarket. I don't know what he does”
Maybe Pele was in the museum? Maradona reacts in
2012 to the Brazilian’s assertion that Messi will never be as good as him.

"Usually, when you see him these days, it's only at award ceremonies next to the president of FIFA and looking like a doll that's being moved by remote control”
Maradona accuses Pele of being a puppet of FIFA president Sepp Blatter.

"When the tragedy happened to the Togolese team, a certain colored gentleman who played No.10 didn't believe that the World Cup could be played here. But today South Africa answers him 'yes it can', the World Cup begins"
Maradona slams Pele after the Brazilian doubted Africa’s ability to stage the 2010 World Cup.

"What do you want me to say? He debuted with a lad"
Maradona’s most controversial quote about Pele in
2009. Diego jokingly responds to Pele’s criticism that he is a bad role model to children because of his history of drugs abuse by bringing up old claims - repeatedly denied by the Brazilian - that he had a relationship with a man when he was a teenager.

"The biggest and main difference between Pele and Maradona is I have the respect of all footballers, which Pele does not have. Pele is a friend of those who manage football. I am not friends with them. I am with the players”
Maradona accuses Pele of being part of the establishment, while he is a man of the people.

"In 2000 I won the Player of the Century award thanks to the people. Pele was second. He also came second behind Aryton Senna as Brazil's greatest sportsman. The award that FIFA gave Pele isn't worth sh*t"
Dieguito claims that Pele isn’t even loved in Brazil and reminds everyone that the Player of the Century prize that FIFA created for the Brazilian has no credibility.

18 OF JURGEN KLOPP’S BEST QUOTES (INCLUDING MATS HUMMELS AND THE BROOMSTICK)
The transfer of Dortmund’s German centre-back Mats Hummels to the Van Gaal revolution at Old Trafford is all but complete, we even have a crazy quote from football’s maddest, daftest and angriest manager Jurgen Klopp to confirm it in his own inimitable fashion:
“If that’s not a bullsh*t story, I’ll eat a broomstick.”

So, because we love Jurgen Klopp, we’ve collected his funniest quotes into one list of nonsense and
madness:
“Yes, it’s true. I underwent a hair transplant. I think
the results are really cool, don’t you?”
“When I gave the first interview, I was very disappointed. After the second one 10 minutes later I was feeling better. In 30 minutes, I’ll probably feel like we won the match.”
“I’m a bit proud of my first red card as a coach. I approached the fourth official and said: ‘How many
mistakes are allowed here? If it’s 15, you have one
more.’”
“We will wait for him like a good wife waiting for her
husband who is in jail.”
Klopp’s approach to dealing with Mats Hummels’ injury problems.
“My wife wrote a book for children. It’s like Harry Potter – but it’s about football. There’s no Harry Potter flying on his f*cking stick – just football.”
“I sent him a text message saying: ‘Schalke??’. He was a good guy – until this morning. Why Kevin? He was at Milan.”
(Klopp wasn’t happy with former Dortmund star
Kevin-Prince Boateng’s move to arch rivals Schalke
04.)
“Gotze’s leaving because he’s Guardiola’s favourite. If it’s anyone’s fault, it’s mine. I can’t make myself shorter and learn Spanish.”
“Screw you. I like giving interviews to you as much as having toothache. Do you have to come here or what?”
“Go through the world and find me a team who can
finish champions in the same league as Bayern. If we should finish second this summer, I’ll find a truck and drive it through my garden. If nobody will rejoice, I’ll do it alone.”
“We have a bow and arrow, and if we aim well, we can hit the target. The problem is that Bayern has a bazooka.”
“When BVB last won here, most of my players were
still being breastfed.” Klopp’s delight when his young players beat Bayern for the first time.
“I told my players during the break: Since we’re here anyway, we might actually play a bit of football.”
“’Uefa Cup Feeling?’ Is this something like heartburn?”
“At the moment, they are like the Chinese in the business world. They look at what others are doing
and copy it, just with more money.” Klopp’s attitude towards Bayern Munich’s tactics, which he’s sure he’s seen before.
“My game system is called ‘fun football’.”
“The only thing I can say is that it was great. London’s the town of the Olympic Games. The weather was good, everything’s okay, only the result is so sh*t.” After the 2013 Champions League Final, which Dortmund lost.
“Shinji Kagawa is one of the best players in the world. But at United he plays 20 minutes per game. And on the left. My heart breaks when I see that. A tear springs up in my eye.”

thanx. I'll try to find more.

Flango: Sorry that was a mistake. I'm jst happy that he's out of 2day's game. I personally like Bonera, but I hv neva seen him as a first team starter. Maybe as a squad player who fills in 4 an injured player or a sub. I don't know where d idea of playing him wen we hv Zapata, Rami, etc. on d bench. I saw that game vs Parma and his defending wasn't gud at all.

yeah, u r right

@ OP, Please help add comments from Maradona and Pele, and also Jorgen Klopp. These 3 got some hilarious comments.

Flango: Thank goodness 4 d injury of Bonera. I only regret d absence of Alex and Lopez.
Hmmm...that clown called Abbiati...

Forza Inzaghi.
Forza Milan.

Bonera is not injured. He was sent-off in d last match after using his hand to block a goal-bound shot. Abbiati is really a clown but I'm not too sure of Agazzi's prowess.

Forza Milano! il Club piu titolato al mondo. Well I don't see Torres starting, I think Honda, Menez, Sharaawy 'll b d front three. Thumbs up to Pippo so far, though d defence is still a problem. I trust d fans to roar us to victory, d stadium is sold-out, 78,681 tickets sold.
