Fighters (Brawlers)
Male Students who use their fists to fight are called Brawlers. Brawlers focus on fighting with their hands using gauntlets, where they learn to channel their kinetic energy into lightning-quick pugilistic attacks. There are "Boxers" (dexterity based fighters), students who focus on hand speed tend to rely on the violent volume of their rapid-fire, two-fisted strikes to knock out their opponents. In contrast, "Brawlers" (power based fighters) who minor in Kick Strikes concentrate on their kicking power, which may be slower and more deliberate, but deal more damage. For these Brawlers, one spinning leg strike, delivered with powerful precision, is often all they need to end a fight. Furthermore there are "Warlocks" (intelligence based fighters) who disdain most physical skills and opt to focus primarily on "ki" energies and form them into powerful blast from their palms and the rest of their body. This type attacks the slowest but use their body to create massive AoE (area of effect) skills the fastest of any class and has a pow increase buff. Fighters are primarily damage dealers and offer the highest SP rate in the game and have moderately high pow and hp and are decent to low everywhere else. They are a popular class to start out with. They are the tallest characters in the game.

Swordsman
Male Students who use swords and blades are called Swordmen. By honing their dexterity, some Swordsmen choose to minor in Blades, using these lighter, shorter weapons to create a higher defense radius for themselves, where they can thrust and parry with ease and flow, even as they sacrifice low base damage and attack with rapid intensity. Some Swordsmen, on the other hand, choose to use Broadswords. This focus limits their defensive abilities but also multiplies their offensive output, so that when an opponent does meet the end of their blade, the blow is swift, clean, and most of all, final. Pow versions of this weapon create massive damage through the use of combos and are purely close range fighters. The intelligence version of a swordman (often dubbed the Juggernaut) also uses broadswords and deliver powerful magic attacks from a distance. Their focus is a mix of magic attacks and sword attacks to use "waves" to attack enemies. They are known to summon elements from the sky. They also have the 2nd most sought after buff "Tranquility" which increases defense of each party member. Int swordsmen however unlike other classes don't have a level 127 skill so many would prefer to change their int type swordsmen to dex or pow types. Swordmen offer a nice array of stats rounded more towards pow and defense, having the best of these stats in the game as well as hp often arguably the best as well. They are designed to be the "tank" class and are most popular for new players as they wield long blades. Either minor is equally formidable in higher grade levels but be warned—for those who major in Swordsmanship, theirs is a life lived not only on the edge but by the edge.

Archer
Female Students that use the bow and arrow are called Archers. Archery students can choose to minor in Short Bows, which produce higher minimum damage to start off with and are extremely accurate; or Long Bows, which deal higher maximum damage at higher grade levels but can be prone to misses. With short bow archers (dex reliant), they focus on fast attacks that disrupt enemy attack patterns. They have the best evasion in the game and further it with a party buff that increases evasion (´Evasive Chant´). This type is most popular in archers as it offers decent damage, high chance of evasion, and easy to duel others. Long bow type archers are the least popular class in the game. They are the hardest to level up as they have low defense and evasion (more so that other non-dex classes) and the 2nd lowest hp in the game. Their skills are very slow and have no skills that benefit a team. As they progress they gain skills that disrupt enemy movement and maintain their high damage as well as their slow attack speed. This class is often dubbed "broken". The intelligence archer is another unpopular class but the range of it's popularity varies. This type uses bows to attack in a large area either around them or in front of them. They have decent to slow attack speed and low physical damage but are a great asset to a group on higher levels. Little is known about this class as there are few players to attain a high level with this class, and fewer still that play them. Archers spend money on arrows much like any other game and may find themselves short stocked. One advantage to archers is in having a strong bow, they can also buy stronger arrows which can further their attack damage.
Qigong (Shaman)
Shamans are female students who use wands or spears as their weapon. Accomplished Shamans can sway the fate of entire battles with a myriad of skills and abilities. Shamans can opt to be pow-type which are masters in spears. Pow-type shamans have heightened attack power but can cast limited spells due to limited int stats. Int type shamans are mavericks in magic and can cast powerful healing and buffering spells to support their party and to increase their defense and health points. These type of shamans are known to be full-support shamans. This build only has 5 attack spells. Most of their stat points go to int and they favor using a wand over a spear. The third type of shaman is an attack shaman. This type also uses a wand and distributes most of its stat point to int. However most of the skills they have focus on attacking and less on support. Their attacks are mostly wide-ranged and deals a great amount of damage to the most number of mobs. It always helps to have Shamans in your party because, as you will realize soon enough during your tenure on campus, the balance of your existence may depend on them. Healing shamans "Fs" are the game nurses. They offer the most buffs of any class and are the only ones that can heal. FSs only have 5 attack spells which makes it difficult for them to accomplish quests on their own. Spear Qigong deal out high damage the fastest of any class in the game. Some players start by being an FS and once they gained enough levels they shift their build to that of a pow-shaman.

My Fan Club

Chelsea Football Club (also known as The Blues or previously The Pensioners) are an English professional football club based in west London. Founded in 1905, they play in the Premier League and have spent most of their history in the top tier in English football. They have had two broad periods of success, one during the 1960s and early 1970s, and the second from the late 1990s to the present day. Chelsea have won three league titles, four FA Cups, four League Cups and two UEFA Cup Winners' Cups.
Chelsea's home is the 42,055 capacity Stamford Bridge football stadium in Fulham, West London, where they have played since their foundation. Despite their name, the club are based just outside the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. In 2003, the club was bought by Russian oil tycoon Roman Abramovich. The club's traditional kit colours are royal blue shirts and shorts with white socks. Their traditional crest is a ceremonial blue lion holding a staff; a modified version of this was adopted in 2005. Chelsea are one of the best-supported clubs in the United Kingdom, with an estimated four million fans.

SUPPORTER

Chelsea have the fifth highest average all-time attendance in English football and regularly attract over 40,000 fans to Stamford Bridge; they were the fifth best-supported Premiership team in the 2005–06 season, with an average gate of 41,870. Chelsea's traditional fanbase comes from working-class parts of West London, such as Hammersmith and Battersea, from wealthier areas like Chelsea and Kensington, and from the Home Counties. The club estimates its UK fanbase at around four million. In addition to the standard football chants, Chelsea fans sing songs like "Carefree", "Blue is the Colour", "We all follow the Chelsea" (to the tune of Land of Hope and Glory), "Ten Men Went to Mow", "Zigga Zagga", "Hello! Hello!" and the celebratory "Celery", with the latter often resulting in fans ritually throwing celery.
Chelsea do not have a traditional rivalry, in the manner that Liverpool and Everton, or Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur do. The club's nearest neighbours are Fulham, but they are not seen as big rivals by Chelsea fans, because the clubs have spent most of the last 40 years in separate divisions. A 2004 survey by Planetfootball.com found that Chelsea fans consider their main rivalries to be with (in order): Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United.[37] Additionally, a strong rivalry with Leeds United dates back to several heated and controversial matches in the 1960s and 1970s, particularly the FA Cup final in 1970.[38] A more recent rivalry has grown with Liverpool following several clashes in cup competitions. In European competition, Chelsea's biggest rivals are Barcelona, with the two competing to be among the best sides in Europe and having played in some highly controversial matches in the UEFA Champions League in recent seasons. During the 1970s and 1980s in particular, Chelsea supporters were long associated with football hooliganism. The club's "football firm", originally the Chelsea Shed Boys, now known as the Chelsea Headhunters, were nationally notorious for violent acts against hooligans from other teams, such as West Ham United's Inter City Firm and Millwall's Bushwhackers, both during and after matches. The increase in hooliganism in the 1980s led chairman Ken Bates to propose an electric fence to deter them from invading the pitch; the proposal was rejected by the GLC. Chelsea's hooligan element were revealed to have links with neo-nazi groups such as Combat 18, and other far-right or racist organisations including the British National Party. Since the 1990s there has been a marked decline in crowd trouble at matches, as a result of stricter policing, CCTV in grounds and the advent of all-seater stadia.

KeMeriAhan HaRi Raya

Hari Raya Puasa
Muslims celebrate the festival of Aidilfitri ?popularly known as Hari Raya Puasa, or simply Hari Raya (Day of Celebration) in Malaysia ?to mark the culmination of Ramadhan, the holy month of fasting.
It is a joyous occasion for Muslims, as it signifies a personal triumph, a victory of self-restraint and abstinence, symbolising purification and renewal.

Fasting during the month of Ramadhan is compulsory or wajib, whereby Muslims are required to abstain from satisfying their most basic needs and urges, daily, between sunrise and sunset. It is one of the five tenets of Islam; as is the paying of zakat (alms tax for the poor), which must be tithed by the end of Ramadhan.
In Malaysia, the period of fasting ends when the new moon is sighted on the evening of the last day of Ramadhan. The actual sighting is conducted by state appointed religious officials at various vantage points (usually at hilltops) throughout the country.
If the crescent is sighted, the following day is then declared the first day of Aidilfitri, which is also the beginning of the 10th month of the Muslim calendar Syawal.


A time to forgive and forget

Aidilfitri is celebrated for the whole month of Syawal, but in Malaysia, only the first two days are observed as public holidays. It is widely common however, to see Muslims taking the first week off from work.
Urbanites make their annual pilgrimage to their hometowns (this is popularly referred to as balik kampung), to be with parents, relatives and old friends. Thus, cities like Kuala Lumpur get relatively quiet during the festive season of Aidilfitri.


The Muslim community ushers in the first day of Aidilfitri by congregating at mosques for morning prayers. Everyone is usually decked out in their traditional best to mark the special occasion. Men are usually dressed in Baju Melayu, while the Baju Kurung, the quintessential Malay attire for females, is the prefered choice for the fairer sex.
Then it's usually breakfast at home with the family, followed by a visit to the cemetery where deceased loved ones are remembered; graves are cleaned and cleared of overgrowth, and prayers are offered to Allah.
This is also a time to forgive and forget past quarrels. Asking for pardon is done in order of seniority. The younger members of a family approach their elders (parents, grandparents etc) to seek forgiveness, to salam (Muslim equivalent of a handshake), then kiss the hands of the older person as a sign of respect.
The usual greeting (that is uttered with the salam) during Aidilfitri is elamat Hari Raya? which means ishing you a joyous Hari Raya?

Children and old folks are given duit raya or gifts of money, in small envelopes. In recent years, many givers have opted for the Chinese practice of putting the money in ang pow packets; however instead of the usual red, the packets are green in colour.
Although the first three days are celebrated on a grander scale, many Muslims hold open house?throughout the month, where friends and neighbours of other races are invited to join in the celebrations.

SeJarah VesPa

Vespa’s timeless design comes from an equally timeless company — Piaggio has been a distinguished innovator in the field of transportation for nearly 120 years.

Piaggio was founded in Genoa, Italy in 1884 by twenty-year-old Rinaldo Piaggio. Rinaldo’s business began with luxury ship fitting. But by the end of the century, Piaggio was also producing rail carriages, luxury coaches, truck bodies, engines, and trains.

Early image of the Piaggio & C. factory
With the onset of World War I, the company forged new ground with the production of airplanes and seaplanes. In 1917 Piaggio bought a new plant in Pisa, and four years later it took over a small plant in Pontedera in the Tuscany region of Italy. It was this plant in Pontedera which became its new center for aeronautical production (propellers, engines and complete aircraft).

During World War II, the Pontedera plant built the state-of-the-art P 108 four-engine aircraft, in both passenger and bomber versions. However, the plant was completely destroyed by Allied bombers due to its military importance.

Rebirth
Enrico Piaggio, son of founder Rinaldo Piaggio, surrounded by VespasPiaggio came out of the conflict with its Pontedera plant in complete ruin. Enrico Piaggio was at the helm, having taken over from his father Rinaldo. Concerned about the disastrous state of the roads and the Italian economy, Enrico decided to focus the Company’s attention on the personal mobility needs of the Italian people.

Enter Corradino D’Ascanio, Piaggio’s ingenious aeronautical engineer who designed, constructed and flew the first modern helicopter. D’Ascanio set out to design a simple, sturdy, and economical vehicle that was also comfortable and elegant.

D’Ascanio, who could not stand motorcycles, dreamed up a revolutionary new vehicle. Drawing from the latest aeronautical technology, he imagined a vehicle built on a “monocoque” (French for “single shell”) or unibody steel chassis. Furthermore, the front fork, like a plane’s landing gear, allowed for easy wheel changing. The result was an aircraft-inspired design that to this day remains forward-thinking and unique among all other two-wheeled vehicles.

Upon seeing the vehicle, Enrico Piaggio remarked “Sembra una Vespa!” (“It looks like a wasp!”) This was a real two-wheeled utility vehicle. But it did not resemble an uncomfortable and noisy motorcycle. The steel frame’s shape protected the rider from road dirt and debris. It emanated class and elegance at first glance.

By the end of 1949, 35,000 units had been produced. Italy was getting over its war wounds and getting about on Vespas. In ten years, one million were produced. By the mid-fifties, Vespa was being produced in Germany, Great Britain, France, Belgium, Spain and, of course, Italy.

Vespa logotype
Vespa has lived on from one generation to the next, subtly modifying its image each time. The first Vespa offered mobility to everyone. Then, it became the two-wheeler of the post war economic boom. During the sixties and seventies, the vehicle became a symbol for the revolutionary ideas of the time. Advertising campaigns like “He Who Vespas, eats the apple”, and films such as Quadrophenia have symbolized eras in our history.
