Damn it! Sanlu Milk Powder

09.16.08 (1:03 am)   [edit]
Health Ministry starts nationwide haul of infant kidney stone cases The Health Ministry said Friday that it has launched a nationwide investigation into contaminated Sanlu baby milk formula. All local health agencies are to report cases of infants with kidney stones immediately. Testing by Sanlu, found tripolycyanamide, also known as melamine,in 700 tons of its product. Health experts said melamine is a chemical raw material. Ingestion can lead to reproductive damage, or bladder or kidney stones. A thermosetting plastic, melamine has an appearance similar to milk powder. It is widely used in manufacturing fabrics, glues, housewares and flame retardants. "The substance gives the appearance of a high nitrogen level, which is an index to measure the protein content in food," a health expert told Xinhua. He declined to be named. Dozens of babies in the Gansu province are reportedly sick. One died after drinking contaminated forumla. Lu Yuan, a urologist with the No. 1 Hospital of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, said kidney stones could bring serious problems to the baby's brains, hearts, lungs, kidneys and livers. Lu's hospital, based in Lanzhou, capital of the Gansu Province, has received 14 such infant patients, six have already been cured and eight are still being treated. "Most of the babies looked worn-out and had a fever when they arrived at the hospital. Some didn't produce any urine for two to three days and were in very serious condition," Lu said. The Health Ministry has issued a treatment plan on its official website (www.moh.gov.cn) to help local hospitals deal with such sick babies. The Health Ministry said those responsible for the contaminated milk will face "heavy punishment". It urged the public to immediately stop consuming the Sanlu milk powder formula and go to a doctor if they find babies having difficulty in urinating. Need to buy WOW Gold (world of warcraft gold) ?

Make full use of our eyes

06.25.08 (8:09 pm)   [edit]

"At times my heart cries out with longing to see all these things. I f I can get so much pleasure from mere touch,how much more beauty must be revealed by sight. Yet, those who have eyes apparently see little. The panorama of color and action which fills the world is taken for granted."

The above part is from "Three days to see" which was written by Hellen Keller ,a famous blind writer. In fact, Hellen Keller is not a strange for us because her cases of strong spirit are well-know all over the world.And the passage indeed moved a lot of people as well. I read it again and still feel encouraged by it.

Each day is beautiful as long as we'd like to go finding something in beauty . Just as somebody said 'there exsits beauty all around if we seek for seriously by our eyes. 'However, our gift of sight is used only as a mere convenience rather than as a means of adding fullness to life. As we always said, eyes are the windows of hearts. We don't make full use of eyes to catch beauty or something whether which conveys that our heart is not beautiful or not. There always somebody complains how hard or dull the life is. At the same time, others serve life as a enjoyable stuff from which they could gain happiness as well as feel the richfullness each day.

Moreover, every moment is different and much better than the one before. For in future day we don't know what will happen and we expect in all kinds of possiblities as we like. And then we can test them when the new day comes, from which we may get amused or sad. However, no matter what happened , it will make us feel fresh and surprised. Is it enough yet?

The point is to let us not forget how to make full use of our eyes. They are the best tool for helping us to be able to aquire what we need. Hellen keller said, 'It is human perhaps, to appreciate little that which we have and to long for that which we have not.' In other words, we won't have any regret and sorrow before we lost what we had. But it is too late that you really lost something you had by accident. Tons of cases like that happened or are happening around us every day. So please let us learn to cherish what we possess as well as make full use of our gift sight.

The Scent of a Man

04.22.08 (3:06 am)   [edit]
If you have ever been attracted by a person's scent, it may be their genes you smell. Researchers believe that women can identify men based on differences as small as a single gene.

In the most recent issue of Nature Genetics scientists look at the link between women's preference for the odors men give off and a group of genes called the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) - which are an important part of the body's immune response.
 
A group of 49 women were asked to smell 10 boxes which contained pieces of T-shirts that had either been worn by men or contained a familiar household odor such as bleach or clove.
The men who had worn the T-shirts were selected based on their MHC genes, and were told to sleep in the shirt for two consecutive nights while avoiding other scents entirely, such as colognes and even contact with other people.

The women were then asked to rate each scent based on their familiarity, intensity, pleasantness, and spiciness, as well as choose the one odor which they would choose if they had to smell it all the time.

"A clear pattern emerged," said Dr. Carole Ober, co-author of the study and a geneticist at the University of Chicago. "The women did not choose scents of men with genes totally similar to their own, or totally dissimilar to their own. They chose men with an intermediate level of difference."

"The real surprising thing is that there was something special about paternally from one's father inherited genes," said Wayne Potts, an expert in the area of MHC research at the University of Utah.

Moreover, the women showed no preference for odors from men with the same gene types as their mothers, but did show a preference for odors from men who shared genes they inherited from their fathers.

Experts believe there are two major reasons for preferring a mate with different genes than your own. The first is that parents with more diverse MHC genes will give rise to offspring with better immune systems, and the second is that by avoiding mates who have very similar MHC types, you also avoid inbreeding.
In fact, previous studies have shown that married people tend to have different types of genes than their spouse.

At the same time, however, the propensity to choose someone with slightly similar genes can also avoid the problem of outbreeding - the mixing of genes that are too different.

"The best is in the middle range and no one knew that before," said Martha McClintock, co-author of the study and a professor of psychology at the University of Chicago,"Everybody always says different is better, well you get different, different, different, and then it becomes a point where it's no longer better."
Potts cautions that choosing an odor from within a box may not represent what actually happens in the real world when women are attracted to their mates.

"It's the wrong emphasis to say that this means that they're going to prefer MHC similar males when it comes to mating," said Potts. "There is other social context."
 
"That is one of the molecular missing links," said Potts. "We don't know exactly what the odorants are."
Potts explains that one hypothesis is linked to the ability of MHC molecules to stick to very specific pieces of protein in cells. These MHC molecules and the proteins stuck to them are what is believed to be detected as an odor.

Whatever the mechanism, this study disproves the assumption that humans have a poorly developed sense of smell.

Looking for attractive people? Don't go to Philly

01.15.08 (1:27 am)   [edit]

Philadelphia is home to the least attractive people in the United States, a survey of visitors and residents showed last week.

The city of more than 1.5 million people was also found to be among the least stylish, least active, least friendly and least worldly, according to the "America's Favourite Cities" survey by Travel & Leisure magazine and CNN.

About 60,000 people responded to the online survey -- at www.travelandleisure.com -- which ranked 25 cities in categories including shopping, food, culture, and cityscape, said Amy Farley, senior editor at the magazine.

For unattractiveness, Philadelphia just beat out Washington DC and Dallas/Fort Worth for the bottom spot. Miami and San Diego are home to the most attractive people, the poll found.

But Farley pointed out the results don't mean people in Philadelphia are ugly or the city is a bad place to visit.

"We were asking people to vote on attractiveness, not unattractiveness. Travel & Leisure editors believe there are a lot of attractive people in Philadelphia," she said.

"The relative attractiveness of its residents is only a minuscule factor in evaluating a city's merit."

Philadelphians' self-esteem has been undermined by national surveys showing they are among the fattest people in the United States. The American Obesity Association ranked the city in the top 10 for overweight people every year between 2000 and 2005.

And sporting pride in a city known for the fierce loyalty of its fans has been hurt by not having had a national champion since the 76ers won the National Basketball Association title in 1983.

Angel

12.10.07 (11:43 pm)   [edit]
As I look into your eyes
I see an angel in disguise
like I've never been
here next to you near WoW gold
and keep you by my side
Whenever i see you smile
I'll drop into a fairytaleWoW gold
Like a playful child sleeping on the puffy cloud
Then the cloud disappeared I fell all the way down to here
but you helped me to fight away my fears
I heard you whisper in my ear all of the words
i long to hear of how you'll always be here
next to me to wipe away my tears.
