Taiwan elects first female president
Taiwan elected Tsai Ing-wen as its first female president Saturday, handing her pro-independence party its first majority in the national legislature and rejecting the China-friendly party that has led the self-governing island for eight years.
In a statement issued after Tsai’s win, the Chinese Cabinet’s body for handling Taiwan affairs reaffirmed its opposition to Taiwan independence, but said it would work to maintain peace and stability between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.
“Our will is as strong as a rock, our attitude unswerving on the principal matter of safeguarding national sovereignty and territorial integrity,” the Taiwan Affairs Office said.
Tsai said her victory was a further show of how ingrained democracy has become on Taiwan and showed that its people wish for a government “steadfast in protecting this nation’s sovereignty.” She too pledged to maintain the status quo with China. She said both sides have a responsibility to find a mutually acceptable means of interacting, while adding that Taiwan’s international space must be respected.
....congrats to her!....
Thief caught in Canada after shooting at customers at Kenaston gas bar, then later police in Transcona
No one was hurt, but eastbound Regent Avenue was shut down in two places Saturday morning after a robbery on Kenaston Avenue went wrong.
A source with knowledge of the scene says it started at about 3:40 a.m. at the Petro-Canada station on Kenaston Avenue when a man entered the store and tried to rob the clerk. The man, who had a gun, reportedly fired shots at the clerk and at customers inside the store before fleeing in a vehicle.
The clerk called police with a licence plate number, said the source, which came up stolen. A city-wide search by police saw the vehicle spotted a while later on Regent Avenue.
Police gave chase and the man apparently fired several shots at officers from the stolen car while fleeing down Regent Avenue eastbound. The driver eventually turned around westbound on Regent Avenue before speeding down Lagimodiere Avenue northbound.

Miss Washington, Stormy Keffeler, resigned over past DUI conviction.
Miss Washington stepped away from her crown Thursday after news of her undisclosed DUI surfaced amid an investigation into the bizarre stabbing of a Seattle athlete.
Beauty queen and former lingerie football player Stormy Keffeler — who is also a possible suspect in the December stabbing of a professional soccer player — said she was following her lawyer’s advice when she failed to mention her conviction on her beauty pageant application.
“The paperwork says, ‘Have you been convicted of a felony?’” the 23-year-old told ABC News. “And when I contacted my lawyer, he told me that it was a misdemeanor.”
Keffeler resigned from the crown late Thursday and was immediately replaced by first runner-up Kelsey Schmidt, pageant official Maureen Francisco posted on Facebook. The pageant team said they first learned about the months-old conviction last week.
The beauty’s trouble began in April 2015, when Seattle cops stopped her for driving with two flat tires. Her eyes were droopy, her speech were slurred and her blood alcohol content was nearly three times the legal limit, police said.

The 73-year-old music manager's memorial will take place on January 22 at the Notre-Dame Basilica in Montreal.
PEOPLE reports that his obituary reads: ''According to his final wishes, his funeral will be held at Notre-Dame Basilica in Montreal, where 21 years ago, he chose to marry the one who will remain as the great love of his life, the artist for which he had the most respect, the woman who gave him light and happiness until his very last breath.''
René, who acted as a mentor and manager to Celine, had been battling throat cancer since 2013 and his family have encouraged donations to be made to a cancer charity.
The obituary continued: ''The family invites all those who would like to make a contribution to make a donation to the Azar-Angelil Research Chair for ORL Cancer.''

Do You Have This 'M' On Your Palm? Here's What It Means!....
If your Facebook feed is currently flooded with photos of your friends' palms, this is why.
A book called Karmic Palmistry: Explore Past Lives, Soul Mates & Karma by Jon Saint-Germain, which is currently making its rounds on social media, claims that having the letter M represented on a person's palm could mean that they are a cut above the rest.
Considered to be a rather rare trait, it's thought that those who have the M are self-motivaters and have strong self-discipline, and are therefore more likely to be succeed in their careers. They're also supposed to be excellent judges of character.There is one caveat, however. These magical traits depend on whether you are left-handed or right handed

After being called a 'fat man' by Louis van Gaal, this journalist laid down a 'points v pounds' challenge....seriously who is fatter among this two?..
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal made headlines earlier in the week at a press conference when he labelled a journalist "fat man". The journalist in question has since challenged the Dutchman to a "points v pounds" contest to the end of the season.
Van Gaal provoked the wrath of the media when he refused to answer any more questions about the form of Wayne Rooney, firing the weight jibe at Neil Custis, whom he thought had unfairly criticised the striker.Sun reporter Custis has since issued Van Gaal a challenge - to try to pick up more points than Custis can lose in pounds by the end of the season.
Custis says he hopes to lose 28lbs by the end of the season - the number of points he has challenged Van Gaal to beat.

i100 says This Muslim group is offering to cook dinner for angry EDL protesters...find out what it means below!..
i100independent UK report says,A Muslim group from Preston called the Light Foundation is hoping to forge ties with a political party that in the past has expressed more than deep disdain for Islam - the English Defence League.
The offer has been tabled because members of the EDL are planning to march in the city on 20 February.
The Light Foundation, which holds regular 'interfaith dialogues' to allow a stronger understanding between belief sets, also spoke out to dismiss claims in the Daily Mail that Preston has radicalised "no go areas".
And some food and conversation is next on the agenda for the organisation.
Founder Nadeem Ashfaq told the Lancashire Evening Post of his plans
AMAZING!...This incredible maths trick that works out your shoe size and age will blow your mind...Check it out!!!
This is incredible.
Cast your mind back to maths class at school. Chances are you found the subject a little tedious.
But numbers can be exciting. At least they can when appearing to conjure some sort of mysterious witchcraft.
This 'maths trick' has been around a little while, but cropped up on Twitter on Friday and dumbfounded some people.
The formula works out your shoe size and age in six simple steps - to begin, the method requires only your shoe size, and then guides you through the process to magic up the your age.
It worked for us, but there's a distinct caveat - the whole thing only works if you've not yet had your birthday. But it's early 2016, so it should work for most of you.
Here goes,CHECK IT OUT!!!
the perfect way to get back at bike thieves!
Having your bike stolen is an awful experience, especially if you've taken precautions to chain it up.
Sometimes locks aren't enough to stop a persistent thief, but nowadays they're considered the norm, thanks to the popularity of bicycle thefts in recent years.
WHAT TYPE OF TRADITION IS THIS?..CAN YOU MARRY FROM A PLACE LIKE THIS GUYS?
In this jet age ?!....well,Someone posted this on Facebook and said it is from a passage into womanhood rite that happened last week.
Meet this Briton man who is said to have proposed to his girlfriend 148 times without her even realising!...will you do stuffs like this guys?!!!
Love drives people to do extraordinary things.
It made Ray Smith craft a tiny card with the words, "Will you marry me?" written upon it and hold it up sneakily behind his girlfriend in 148 photographs.
Ray, from Grimsby, proposed to girlfriend Claire Bramley secretly, sneaking the message into selfies and random moments.
It's the soppiest thing ever. But Claire said yes when Ray finally popped the question properly on Christmas Day. So at least it worked.
And Ray was actually quite clever about it. He told his now fiancée that he wanted to document the progress of their baby, and when she wanted to see his pictures, Ray took more than one - omitting the card in the second.
"She nearly caught me a couple of times but I just had to pray it worked," Ray told the Grimsby Telegraph.
"I had no clue, I was totally oblivious to it all," Claire added.
The couple, both 33, have been together since August 2014.
Here's a video of the past five months...

Hollywood actor Steve Harvey has reportedly once again stepped forward to apologize for his now-infamous Miss Universe blunder last month.
According to reports, Harvey has done a televised interview with Miss Colombia begging forgiveness.
Our sources say … an NBC producer brokered the deal in which Ariadna Gutierrez appeared on Harvey’s talk show and did a segment for “Today,” as well as Telemundo … all NBC-owned properties. Our sources say Harvey told Ariadna he’s apologized to everyone, but a face-to-face with her was the most meaningful. “He sobbed and sobbed,” our sources say. (TMZ)
