supper butter cake

The cakes smell good. This is the third day I am taking porridge for special reason. How wonderful is to have a good smelling function.

A cellular "porthole" known best for its role in the digestive system apparently has a major role in helping the brain sense odors, Johns Hopkins scientists report in the Feb. 17 issue of Neuron. The porthole, which lets chloride into cells, is also critical in digestion, hearing, balance, and fertility. The researchers suggest that digestive system cells and odor-detecting cells use the same chloride porthole, or ion transporter -- the former to facilitate secretion of digestive juices, and the latter to communicate information about scents to the brain.
Odor-detecting nerve cells are long and thin, extending from the tissues lining the nose where odors are sensed all the way to the brain. When you smell cookies baking, odor molecules bind to these cells, triggering a series of molecular "gates" on the cell surface to open. The open gates let charged ions, including chloride, move in and out of the cell, creating differences in charge between the inside and outside of the cell. Such differences allow electrical signals to travel to the brain, telling you that home-made cookies are nearby.

秦始皇是说蒙古话的女真人
[194] (2005-02-25)
  很早就有人说“秦”是戎狄。但说第一次统一中国就是外族的武功,中原百姓会觉得脸上无光。因此,历史多的是在谴责秦始皇的专制,却很少有人谈论秦部落的种属。
  西周时,“秦”是一个西戎部落;其他西戎部落作乱时,它总是站在周王室一边。公元前七七一年,周幽王无道,怨臣申侯引犬戎伐周,杀幽王骊山下;周平王是靠秦襄公的护送,去洛阳避祸,从此东周才起了头。东周王室感激这番效忠,才将秦部落封为诸侯国。然而,这个迟到的诸侯国却又很有作为,它不断吸取中原先进文化,引进了商鞅这样的变法人才,移风易俗,富国强兵,战国时成为七强中的最强,最后一举统一了中国。

There is evidence of mixed races in China. The mixed gene is one of the reason for strong physical health as it involed natural selection. We wish there is harmony in society so that every body can be healthy and happy. One of the tools is education. The good teaching of understanding and tolerance of different cultures.
Using a common laguage or an international language for a true internatinal 'global village' is another method for a good future.

health

Hi, I am going to share lots of information with my friends who care about health. Environment protection? Is that our priority?Prevention is better than cure?
Relax...Let us do it one at a time...with efficiency

 牙齿蛀了,不必补牙。未来的新疗法可能让你的牙齿自己长出新的物质来修补受损部位。

 他发现,我们体内的钙质须要依靠微震动,才会有序化地形成有韧性和硬度的骨骼和牙齿。

如果不运动,单靠吸取大量钙质,这些钙质仍无法强化骨骼和牙齿

骨骼会在日常生活中不断地受损,身体也会自然地不断进行修补及进行再塑造。越常运动,就越能刺激骨骼的修复过程

“例如,牙齿有个洞,我们可以加上一些药物,并通过超声波或电磁波来制造微震动,从而刺激牙齿自己长出新的物质来修补受损部位。”
  此外,这个新知识,也可以运用来制造更坚韧的生物材料,来制造更好的人造骨或人造牙等等。

The scientists have found that a medication called mycophenolate mofetil manages symptoms of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the most common form of this autoimmune disease.
