November 19 王建南写给沈秋的第一首情诗 我眼前浮现遥远的岁月 想想你们 我的好姐妹们 November 08 世上最健康的作息时间表7:30：起床。英国威斯敏斯特大学的研究人员发现，那些在早上5:22―7:21 分起床的人，其血液中有一种能引起心脏病的物质含量较高，因此，在7:21之后起床对身体健康更加有益。 August 10 The cities with the top 25 dangerous neighborhoods in the United States
August 03 你要对你的玫瑰负责"你好。"狐狸说。 久坐像吸烟一样可怕 每天运动两小时也不管用一个忙碌的上班族一天通常是这样度过的：8-10个小时坐在电脑旁；坐在沙发上看电视用两个小时；坐在各种场合进行交际的时间至少3小时……这样算下来，一天中15个小时都是在椅子上度过的。一项来自美国密苏里大学的研究表明，久坐给人们带来的伤害不仅仅是腰酸背痛这么简单，而是像吸烟一样可怕！ “每天连续坐数个小时，回家后又继续坐在电视机前面，除了腰椎疾病，这些人患上心脏病、Ⅱ型糖尿病的几率也会大大增加。”美国密苏里大学的马克·汉密尔顿教授说，这与吸烟给健康带来的危害很像，多项研究表明，吸烟是许多心、脑血管疾病的主要危险因素，冠心病和高血压病患者中75%的人有吸烟史。冠心病发病率吸烟者比不吸烟者高出3.5倍，心肌梗塞发病率则高达6倍。 另一项针对900人的研究还表明，吸烟者的腰背疼痛发病率远远高于非吸烟者，这是因为香烟中的一氧化碳等有害物质会降低椎间盘组织的血液供应量，造成局部组织由于缺血缺氧而导致疼痛。 另外，研究对比还发现，经常久坐在电脑前的人，皮肤容易缺水，干燥会加速肤质老化，从而形成皱纹。吸烟也会加重眼部皱纹的形成，吸烟的人常会不自觉地眯眼睛，久而久之就会形成习惯，引起皱纹。香烟的挥发物对眼睛的刺激也很大，使眼睛时张时闭，导致眼皮张弛疲劳，失去弹性，并使之变黄变皱。 澳大利亚墨尔本的国际糖尿病学会的研究则显示，即使每天运动两小时，也不能弥补十几个小时坐着不动所带来的巨大危害。因此建议，每工作或学习40分钟就起来活动5—10分钟，简单地扩扩胸、摇摇头、伸伸懒腰就能起到作用。 July 28 北京高学历宅男花钱当街学与女孩“搭讪”核心提示：近日在北京某商业区，“搭讪”培训班的老师带领学员实地演练。一些学员表示参加课程是为了学习与女孩相处的经验，找到自己的满意的对象，也有人希望锻炼自己的心理素质以及与陌生人交流的能力。

Scientists have found that evolution is driving women to become ever more beautiful, while men remain as aesthetically unappealing as their caveman ancestors. The researchers have found beautiful women have more children than their plainer counterparts and that a higher proportion of those children are female. Those daughters, once adult, also tend to be attractive and so repeat the pattern. Over generations, the scientists argue, this has led to women becoming steadily more aesthetically pleasing, a “beauty race” that is still on. The findings have emerged from a series of studies of physical attractiveness and its links to reproductive success in humans. In a study released last week, Markus Jokela, a researcher at the University of Helsinki, found beautiful women had up to 16% more children than their plainer counterparts. He used data gathered in America, in which 1,244 women and 997 men were followed through four decades of life. Their attractiveness was assessed from photographs taken during the study, which also collected data on the number of children they had. This builds on previous work by Satoshi Kanazawa, an evolutionary psychologist at the London School of Economics, who found that good-looking parents were far more likely to conceive daughters. He suggested this was an evolutionary strategy subtly programmed into human DNA.He cited two findings from the Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, a US government-backed study that is monitoring more than 15,000 Americans. The measurements include objective assessments of physical attractiveness. One finding was that women were generally regarded by both sexes as more aesthetically appealing than men. The other was that the most attractive parents were 26% less likely to have sons. Kanazawa said: “Physical attractiveness is a highly heritable trait, which disproportionately increases the reproductive success of daughters much more than that of sons. “If more attractive parents have more daughters and if physical attractiveness is heritable, it logically follows that women over many generations gradually become more physically attractive on average than men.” In men, by contrast, good looks appear to count for little, with handsome men being no more successful than others in terms of numbers of children. This means there has been little pressure for men’s appearance to evolve. The findings coincide with the bicentenary of the birth of Charles Darwin, whose theory of evolution first described the forces that shape all species. Even he, however, might have been surprised by the subtlety of the effects now being detected by researchers looking into human mating. The heritability of attractiveness is widely accepted. When Elizabeth Jagger became a model, her mother, the former model Jerry Hall, said: “It’s in her genes.” Women may take consolation in the finding that men are subject to other types of evolutionary pressure. Gayle Brewer, a psychology lecturer at the University of Central Lancashire, said: “Men and women seek different things in their partners. “For women, looks are much less important in a man than his ability to look after her when she is pregnant and nursing, periods when women are vulnerable to predators. Historically this has meant rich men tend to have more wives and many children. So the pressure is on men to be successful.” July 26 Husky RescueCity LightsWould you take me there last one more time
Summertime Cowboy July 21 10 Ways to Look Good in Photos1. Focus your eyes just slightly above the camera lens, move your face forward a bit, and tip down your chin.
© 2009 Jupiterimages Corporation 4. Test-drive clothing against a white wall, with an indirect, natural light source (under a tree, indoors near a window)—it will show whether blue really is your best color. 5. As a rule, avoid patterns. 6. Photos exaggerate everything, so go easy on the makeup. For women under 30, a little mascara and lip gloss; over 30, add a touch of concealer. 7. Practice the classic model pose: Turn your body three quarters of the way toward the camera, with one foot in front of the other and one shoulder closer to the photographer. When you face forward, your body tends to look wider. 8. For standing photos, belly in, buttocks tight, shoulders back, spine straight. 9. Study photogenic people as well as photos in which you think you looked best. Look at your best angle. You’ll probably see that you were laughing or having a good time. Capturing someone when they’re relaxed or most animated usually makes for the best results. Billy Mays In Cubic Paper Form Still Looks Enthusiastic [Papercraft]

July 05 China's Internet porn filter -- no Depp pleaseBEIJING (Reuters) – What do Johnny Depp, Garfield, Paris Hilton and roast pork have in common? In China, the answer is that a new government-mandated Internet filter rates some pictures of all four of them as bad for your moral health. Beijing has ordered all personal computers sold in China from July 1 to be preinstalled with the Green Dam software, which it says is designed to block pornographic and violent images, and which critics fear will be used to extend censorship. But a trial of the programme, which is available online for free download (http://www.skycn.com/soft/46657.html), suggested its filters may be of limited use to worried parents. When the software is installed, and an image scanner activated, it blocks even harmless images of a film poster for cartoon cat Garfield, dishes of flesh-colour cooked pork and on one search engine a close-up of film star Johnny Depp's face. With the image filter off, even though searches with words like "nude" are blocked, a hunt for adult websites throws up links to soft and hardcore pornography sites including one with a video of full penetrative sex playing on its front page. Green Dam has not detailed how it scans images for obscene content, but computer experts have said it likely uses colour and form recognition to zoom in on potential expanses of naked flesh. Programme settings allow users to chose how tightly they want images scanned. When too much skin is detected, Green Dam closes all Internet browsers with no warning, sometimes flashing up a notice that the viewer is looking at "harmful" content. But the interpretation of obscene is apparently generous enough to include the orange hue of Garfield's fur and, on the highest security settings, prevent viewers clicking through to any illustrated story on one English language news website. A programme to scan written content appears less sensitive, with a string of explicit words typed into a word document triggering no response, although some users have complained in online forums of shut-downs similar to those of Web browsers. SEX OR POLITICS? The software also allows users to choose what they want to filter for, and besides adult websites and violence, categories include "gay" and "illegal activities." Gay and health activists fear the blanket ban on "gay content," in a country where homosexuality is not criminalised, could damage projects including sexual health and AIDS education. And government critics worry the "illegal activities" section will cover political and social activities Beijing objects to, tightening access to non-approved information, already filtered by censors and a firewall. Another setting allows Green Dam to take regular snapshots of a user's screen and store them for up to two weeks -- ostensibly so parents can monitor computer use by minors. But it could also potentially leave security officials a track of computer use by a suspected dissident, or be a gift to fraudsters hunting online bank details and private information. Researchers in the U.S. have already said they are concerned Green Dam leaves users vulnerable to malicious sites that might steal personal data or install code on the personal computer. Western governments and trade groups have also asked China to reconsider, based on concerns ranging from cyber-security and performance of the software to Internet freedoms. "People say the software is not very stable and has many technological problems," said Joerg Wuttke, the president of the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China, which has dubbed the introduction of Green Dam "hasty." China's foreign ministry on Tuesday declined to respond to criticisms of the software. (Additional reporting by Maxim Duncan, Kirby Chien and Alan Wheatley; Editing by Jerry Norton) |
