好男孩全是在被女孩伤过后,才学的变坏!

女孩,有些事你们真的不知道!你们总是抱怨没有好男孩,你们错了。好男孩全是在被女孩伤过后,才学的变坏!



你们总是抱怨自己的男孩优点太少,不能让你们满意!你们错了十全十美的人根本就没有。只要他有责任心,有一颗爱你在乎你的心就够了!帅气+幽默+有钱+真心+浪漫,就是你们心中的完美情人吧。自己想想要真有那样的人,他会爱上你吗?



你们怪男孩的脾气大,本事小,没有能力让你们活在高层的社会。想想你们为男孩做过什麽?安慰?患难?还是丢下一句对不起,我们不合适的话,然后转身离开呢?



你们总是觉得有个男孩爱你,在乎你是应该的。你们可以随便抛洒自己的不满,说出伤人到底的话。你们到底懂不懂什麽是爱?难道感情的压迫真的会让你们过的很舒服?不要等爱你的男孩离开后,在哭着说自己错了。那时的后悔真的晚了。



你们失恋了,会找自己的好朋友吐苦水,然后在大哭一场,之后就又可以说爱了!可是男孩呢?他能找谁倾诉呢?他只能在没人的角落里,抽着烟默默的落泪,在夕阳下回忆曾经相爱时的情景,或许在回忆的瞬间里,才能感受到爱的含义!但他在真爱的世界里,剩下的仅仅是回忆!





在男孩没有被伤害过之前,他们会遵守自己承诺的任何誓言。但是男孩真的爱过后,且被伤的很深,那你就不要期望男孩会说爱情诺言的保险话了。即使说过了,那也是有水分的!



有人说:女孩的名字叫脆弱,那男孩是什么?



男孩,没有你想象中的坚强。其实男孩就像一个被层层钢铁包裹着的鸡蛋,当你穿透那坚强的外层后,所表露出的就是一个脆弱无比的实体。天生的使命与责任造就了男孩的坚强,



长久积压的压力与长久憋屈的泪水,造就了男孩内心深处的无比脆弱,只是太多的女孩知道前者却忽略了后者。男孩有痛也得忍着,有泪也得憋在心里,他知道自己必须坚强,他总会说些:没事、这有啥、撑得住、的大话,其实男孩有时真的很脆弱,他太需要安慰,也太容易感动,



男孩很多时候所要的不过只是一份关怀、是一声问候、一种理解,为了自己所爱的人,男孩总是要表现的坚强;为了自己心中的理想,男孩总是要漂泊流浪。而现实中男孩却很容易失落、受伤,总是想逃避躲藏在黑暗的角落里为自己孤独的添着伤口。

At the Tomb of Tutankhamen























At the Tomb of Tutankhamen

An Account of the Opening of the Royal Egyptian Sepulcher Which Contained the Most Remarkable Funeral Treasures Unearthed in Historic Times

By Maynard Owen Williams, staff correspondent

This article was published in the May 1923 National Geographic. We've retained the originally used names and spellings here.

Probably no great graveyard occupies so unusual a site as the Tombs of the Egyptian Kings at Thebes.

Across the Nile from the Temple of Karnak the western skyline is broken by rough limestone cliffs whose color varies from hour to hour. Nature here changes her complexion with the passing of the day, now softly seductive under a filmy veil before the footlights of the sun's first level rays, now savagely sharp under the fierce floodlight of noonday, now darkly mysterious beneath the glowing evening sky. The monotony of rich fields so familiar in the flat delta of Lower Egypt here gives way to the variety of barren waste where tomb robbers and scientists have sought so long the hiding places of the Pharaohs.

Ten thousand tourists have tramped above the spot where the latest find has just been made. Other archeologists, looking for the needle entrance to the royal tomb of Tutankhamen in the limestone haystack of el Qorn, came within a few feet of where, after sixteen years of labor, the late Lord Carnarvon and Mr. Howard Carter found their reward.

Lego Universe game makes worldwide debut



THE Lego Universe computer game has been released worldwide, concluding a seven-month testing phase that had drafted in members of the public to try it out in a pre-release version.

Lego Universe allows players to trot through challenges with customised characters, creating buildings out of the Lego pieces they rescue, linking up with others for team games, and exploring various worlds that are in need of a fresh burst of imagination and creativity.

The game is a family-friendly take on the Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) genre, populated by titles such as Guild Wars, MapleStory, EVE Online, and of course the famous World of Warcraft.

Previously franchised Lego games majored on the toy line's film licences, with Star Wars, Batman, Indiana Jones and Harry Potter finding themselves appearing on screen in brick form.

Lego Universe is available on both PC and Mac. Like many MMO games it uses a subscription model, in which the first 30 days after installation are free, with subsequent batches of 30 costing US$10 (RM31). - Relaxnews 2010

Renaissance Rome plays host to new 'Assassin' game

ROME: Saint Peter's Basilica half-built, the Colosseum in ruins and a blank space where the Trevi fountain now stands: computer whizzes rebuilt 16th-century Rome, with a twist, for the latest installment of the video game phenomenon Assassin's Creed.

Set for release next month, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood continues the Renaissance tale of betrayed nobleman Ezio Auditore Da Firenze, a descendent of the Altair character who starred in the original title.

Brotherhood casts the player as Ezio, a trained killer whose mission is to combat the Knights Templar in the Eternal City.

Street by street, the hero weaves his way through a packed crowd: beggars asking for alms, city guards keeping a watchful eye on the throng, doctors in long-beaked masks offering remedies and potions.

To complete his assignment, Ezio scales the walls of buildings, and vaults from rooftop to rooftop, offering the player breathtaking views over the virtual cityscape.

Recreating Rome

Working with 16th-century maps and records, with the help of historians, developers at the French videogame titan Ubisoft worked to recreate Rome as it looked at the time.

A stay in the city was par for the course to photograph bricks and rocks in order to recreate the feel of the original buildings, producer Vincent Pontbriand told AFP during a walk through the streets of Rome to illustrate the design process.

But the Internet helped a lot too, according to game designer Patrick Plourde: "In a few minutes you can check on a detail that would have taken much longer before."

Details are as lifelike as possible, from the clothes of passers-by to the weapons used by guards or the walk-on parts - which include the politician Cesare Borgia, the philosopher Niccolo Machiavelli and Leonardo da Vinci.

But the developers take liberties with history too - as with the roof of Saint Peter's Basilica which was not yet under construction at the time the game is set.

"We tried to do without it, but no one recognised the building," said Mohammed Gambouz, creative director for the game at Ubisoft's Montreal studios.

"As soon as we added it, people looked and said, 'Ah! Now you can tell it's Rome'."

Likewise the Roman arches shown in the virtual city are all identical. "We mixed up several arches to create a single one - that doesn't exist for real," said Gambouz.

Stem Cell Ruling Will Be Appealed (August 25, 2010)

The cells are a sort of blank slate, plucked from human embryos just a few days after fertilization. They tantalize scientists because they could in theory turn into any of the body’s 200 mature cell types, from blood to brain to liver to heart. They could be used to study and treat diseases and to study the basic biology of what determines a cell’s destiny — why a heart cell becomes a heart cell, for example, instead of a brain cell.

The problem is their origin — human embryos. In order to get stem cells, embryos must be destroyed. It is this fact that led to the court ruling on Monday blocking most federal financing for embryonic stem cell research.

The scientist who isolated human embryonic stem cells in 1998 struggled with this dilemma, consulting ethicists before proceeding. But in the end, the scientist, Dr. James Thomson of the University of Wisconsin, decided to go ahead because the embryos were from fertility clinics and were going to be destroyed anyway. And, he reasoned, the work could greatly benefit humanity.

Yet despite the high hopes for embryonic stem cells, progress has been slow — so far there are no treatments with the cells. The Food and Drug Administration just approved the first clinical study, a dose and safety test, of human embryonic stem cells to treat spinal cord injuries.

All along, though, scientists wondered if they could sidestep the ethical debate by creating embryonic stem cells without the embryos. Every cell has the same DNA. A heart cell is different from a liver cell because it uses different genes. But all the genes to make a liver cell, or any other cell, are there in the cell. The liver genes are masked in a heart cell and vice versa. Why can’t scientists find a way to unmask all of a cell’s genes and turn it directly into a stem cell without using an embryo?

A few years ago, two groups of researchers — one led by Dr. Thomson — did just that. They discovered that all they had to do was add four genes and a cell would reprogram itself back to its original state when it was a stem cell in an embryo. Like an embryonic stem cell, that reprogrammed cell seemed to be able to then turn into the many kinds of specialized cells in the body, an ability called pluripotent.

What has happened since that discovery, scientists say, is that stem cell biology turned out to be more complicated than they anticipated. Besides the stem cells from embryos, there are so-called adult stem cells found in all tissues but with limited potential because they can only turn into cells from their tissue of origin. And there are these newer cells made by reprogramming mature cells.

Now researchers are trying to figure out whether stem cells made by this reprogramming process really are the same as ones taken from embryos. Some say they found subtle differences between these cells, known as induced pluripotent stem cells, or I.P.S.C.’s, and embryonic stem cells. Others are not so sure.

They say they need embryonic stem cells as a basis of comparison, a gold standard to see if the newer reprogrammed cells are as good.

“We are not at the stage where you will find many investigators saying, ‘We don’t need embryonic stem cells because I.P. cells are the same,” said Dr. Timothy Kamp, a stem cell researcher and professor of medicine at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. “We don’t know that yet.”

One complication is that different labs use different methods to obtain the reprogrammed cells and to study them, Dr. Kamp said. As a result, he said, “not all I.P. cells are the same.”

John Gearhart, director of the Institute for Regenerative Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, and one of the first to isolate human embryonic stem cells, said some investigators ended up with reprogrammed cells “that will have little utility.” They are only partly reprogrammed, he explains.

“One worries about how safe and effective they are going to be” if they are ever used in therapies, Dr. Gearhart said.

Dr. George Q. Daley, a stem cell researcher at Children’s Hospital in Boston, saw subtle differences in a recent study. When he just compared the two types of cells side by side with molecular tests, they looked identical. Then he tried turning them into various types of mature cells and comparing the results.

Dr. Daley published a paper in March, in Nature Biotechnology, reporting that mouse I.P.S.C.’s from different tissues remembered, in a sense, where they came from. He has a similar paper under review showing the same effect with human induced pluripotent stem cells.

In the mouse study, it was harder to get pluripotent mouse cells derived from a skin cell, for example, to turn into blood cells than it was to get pluripotent stem cells made from blood cells to turn into blood cells.

“They tended to remember their tissue of origin,” Dr. Daley said.

Researchers need to find ways to make the cells forget where they came from, he said.

Rudolf Jaenisch, a stem cell researcher and biology professor at M.I.T., said he was not certain there were meaningful differences between human embryonic stem cells and human induced pluripotent cells.

But to answer that question will require the use of embryonic stem cells for comparisons, Dr. Jaenisch said.

“Things are very much in flux,” he said. “We will probably need human embryonic stem cells for a while. And then we probably will not need them anymore.”
