2018-09-11 Happy Teacher`s Day: Crazy things we all did to be a teacher` pet For those who are now busy chasing their careers, this is the one thing about school days that everyone would agree unanimously-school days were the best days. While the pressure of scoring the highest marks mounted every year, we found enough time to enjoy their share of fun. And not to mention the love and hate relationship we shared with our teachers. While we believed some to be no less than an ogre, there were others who had our undivided attention without even demanding for it and we would compete with each other to be his or her favourite student. Whether we admit it or not, everyone might have, at some point of their life, worked hard to be a teacher`s pet. To be the favourite comes at its own price-the wrath of our friends and the uncertainty of what the future holds. Let`s look at some of the crazy but amusing things a student did to be a teacher`s pet. Wiped the blackboard clean before the teacher arrived

2018-09-05 How the most neurotic people spend 41 minutes a day longer on chores than those who are emotionally stable If you are the neurotic type, there are few things too small to fret over. But at least life`s worriers can rest assured that they are on top of the vacuuming. A study has found the most neurotic people spend up to 41 minutes a day longer on household chores than those who are emotionally stable. They devote an hour and 29 minutes to housework, based on a study of more than 1,300 volunteers. This equates to almost ten-and-a-half hours a week, with women, who – according to the study – are more likely to be neurotic and do more housework, exceeding this.

2018-09-04 Unexpected Effects of Climate Change Could Include Worse Food Safety, More Car Wrecks Study On excessively hot days, there are more likely to be fatal car accidents and food safety problems, and police officers and government food inspectors tend to do less of their duties, according to a study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology scientists, who analyzed data from across the United States, suggest that if the climate continues to change, by 2050 - and in another 50 or so years beyond that - our world may be less safe than it is today. [The crux of the idea - which is that weather affects how we perform our duties and how we go about our daily lives and the risks that we experience - is indeed simplistic," said Nick Obradovich, co-author of the study and a research scientist at MIT`s Media Lab. What is not at all simple is that he and his colleagues used a [massive amount

2018-08-31 Lunar history How do you solve a problem like maria? An ancient collision may explain the moon`s Janus faces. Earth`s moon has a split personality. One half of its surface-the half which, thanks to thevagaries of orbital mechanics, always faces Earth-is dominated by dark, smooth expansesof ancient, frozen lava known as maria (early astronomers, thinking they might be bodies ofwater, named them after the Latin word for [sea"). The contrast between the darkness ofthe maria and the brightness of the surrounding highlands forms a pattern popularly known, depending on the culture of the observer, as the man in the moon, the rabbit on the moon orone of many other optical illusions. When astronomers got their first glimpses of the moon

2018-08-30 End of Heat The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. End of Heat, the 14th solar term of the year, begins this year on Aug 23 and ends on Sep 6.

2018-08-29 Fresh flowers spruce up your home and your mental health Everyone loves fresh flowers but for most of us, they`re only an occasional presence in our lives, generally limited to birthdays and the occasional romantic gesture. But new research has offered the best excuse to go buy a bunch for yourself right now - apparently having fresh flowers in your house can help reduce stress. A study conducted by the University of North Florida quizzed 170 women about their perceived stress over an eight-week period. The women were given flowers, a scented candle, or nothing at all, ostensibly as a thank you gift. The women who received flowers reported a significantly lower level of stress by the end of the period.

2018-08-25 Chinese scientists discover gene that can help rice adapt to cold climate Chinese scientists have found a gene which plays an important role in helping rice, originating in warm southern China, expand to the relatively cold northern regions. Rice grown in Asia include two subspecies, indica rice and japonica rice. The heat-resistant indica rice is mainly planted in southern China, as well as the tropical and subtropical areas in South Asia and Southeast Asia, while the japonica rice, after nearly 10,000 years of domestication and selection, can tolerate cold weather and has been expanded to northern China and the temperate zones in Northeast Asia. After analyzing 202 rice samples from various growing regions around the world collected by the Department of Agriculture of the United States, Chinese researchers at the Institute of Genetics and Development Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences identified a gene, bZIP73, associated with cold tolerance. The researchers believe the gene has facilitated the adaptation of rice to low temperatures. Rice is one of the most important cereal crops feeding more than half of the world`s population. Cold stress is a major factor limiting production and geographic distribution of rice, said Chu Chengcai, a lead scientist in the research. The discovery may help breed new rice varieties which can grow in high latitude and hig

2018-08-21 Qixi - the Chinese Valentine`s Day If it rains heavily on Saturday night, some elderly Chinese will say it is because Zhinu, or the Weaving Maid, is crying on the day she met her husband Niulang, or the Cowherd, on the Milky Way. Most Chinese remember being told this romantic tragedy when they were children on Qixi, or the Seventh Night Festival, which falls on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, which is usually in early August. Folklore Story Once there was a cowherd, Niulang, who lived with his elder brother and sister-in-law. But she disliked and abused him, and the boy was forced to leave home with only an old cow for company.

2018-08-14 Is climate change consuming your favorite foods II 6 Rice When it comes to rice, our changing climate is more of a threat to the growing method than to the grains themselves. Rice farming is done in flooded fields (called paddies), but as increased global temperatures bring more frequent and more intense droughts, the world's rice-growing regions may not have enough water to flood fields to the proper level (usually 5 inches deep). This could make the cultivating this nutritious staple crop more difficult. 7 Wheat A recent study involving Kansas State University researchers finds that in the coming decades, at least one-quarter of the world's wheat production will be lost to extreme weather and water stress if no adaptive measures are taken.

2018-08-10 Qinghai-Tibet Plateau still one of cleanest regions on earth: white paper The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is still one of the cleanest regions on Earth, according to a white paper released by the State Council Information Office on Wednesday. According to the paper, the plateau is super pristine mainly because there are fewer people living there. "The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has a low intensity of human activity. The air quality is little impacted, the types of pollutants are few and the density is low, and the content of pollutants is similar to those at the North Pole," said the white paper, titled "Ecological Progress on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau." Human efforts like green energy usage, construction of ecological towns and rural development also helped to improve the air quality, it noted.

2018-08-07 Is climate change consuming your favorite foods I 1 Coffee Whether or not you try to limit yourself to one cup of coffee a day, the effects of climate change on the world's coffee-growing regions may leave you little choice. Coffee plantations in South America, Africa, Asia, and Hawaii are all being threatened by rising air temperatures and erratic rainfall patterns, which invite disease and invasive species to infest the coffee plant and ripening beans. The result? Significant cuts in coffee yield (and less coffee in your cup). Organizations like Australia's Climate Institute estimate that, if current climate patterns continue, half of the areas presently suitable for coffee production won't be by the year 2050. 2 Chocolate

2018-08-01 PLA Military Day Bayi Army is the PLA Military Day, August 1 each year, held by the Chinese Revolutionary Armed Services Committee, to commemorate the establishment of the festival Chinese Red Army. On July 11, 1933, the provisional Central government of the Chinese Soviet Republic, according to the recommendations of June 30 of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission, decided that August 1 was the anniversary of Chinese Red Army. June 15, 1949, the Chinese Revolutionary Military Committee issued an order to "Army Day" as the main symbol of the People's Liberation Army ensign and Jun Hui. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, this anniversary was renamed the PLA Army Festival. Xi, also chairman of the Central Military Commission and general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made the remark at a collective study session of the CPC Central Committee`s Political Bureau on Tuesday, one day ahead of Army Day.

2018-07-31 'Little yellow horse' robot delivers useful service in China Along a quiet residential street on the outer edges of Beijing, a yellow and black cube about the size of a small washing machine trundles leisurely to its destination. This "little yellow horse" is an autonomous delivery robot, ferrying daily essentials like drinks, fruit and snacks from the local store to the residents in the Chinese capital. Equipped with a GPS system, cameras and radar, the robots are seen by their creator as the future of logistics in China, where he says one billion packages will eventually be delivered every day. Travelling at a less than overwhelming 3kph - a slow human walk - the robot has room for improvement, said one customer as she removed a packet of nuts from its bowels. "The weak point is that it cannot deliver directly to the door like a human," said the customer, who does not live on the ground floor.
