Red Panda, The New Icon for China

China most favorite and famous animal is panda. The white and black animal has become so famous after they have been made as the mascot on Beijing Olympic Games.

But now, China has been trying to make a new animal as its new icon as well. Introducing the "Red Panda". Its body is much smaller than the normal Panda. Slightly larger than a domestic cat, it has reddish-brown fur, a long, shaggy tail, and a waddling gait due to its shorter front legs. It eats mainly bamboo, but is omnivorous and may also eat eggs, birds, insects, and small mammals. It is a solitary animal, mainly active from dusk to dawn, and is largely sedentary during the day.

NYSE Dow Jones Drop 1000 points in just a few minutes

NYSE (New York Stock Exchange) Dow Jones has recently just made a very big news all around the world as its Stocks point drop down drastically in just a few minutes.

But then, it raise back again after just a few minutes making them to close the Dow Jones that day at 300 points less. Almost any major company had a big drop in their stocks price.

For a company, i forget the name. THe stock price was to suppose to be priced at US30 drop to US1 only. 

It was actually triggered by Greeks Financial Crisis, and Citibank. Citibank actually want to sell its share at Procter and Gamble at 16million, but maybe due to some human error or something else. It becomes 16billion. Automatically, the computerized system on Dow Jones act by itself, by selling and closing all the deals, which made the stocks plunged drastically to almost 1000 points in just a few minutes.

Google has been updated after so long!!

Google now has been updated with minor updates. First of all the Google logo.. It changed slightly different from the old one.

It has also add another new left panel navigation which can be seen in the picture below.

The new left panel

It is actually not something new, i dunno why Google's staff talking about it until such a length.. It is actually the same menu at the top of the google search page. In which you can filter you search based on Web, Images, Blogs, Videos, or Maps. So, i guess it is not something new. Except the timeline search, where you can filter you search based on timeline, for example: Searching for Avian Virus from 2002-2005. It will show the search result based on that timeline.

The desktop version of Google has now even more powerful left panel filled with new tools and smarter suggestions. Its functionality is based on the Universal Search, Search Options panel and Google Squared – features launched through the past three years.

The Universal Search takes up the top of the panel and allows you to filter your results by a specific type (images, books, news, etc.). Switching between different types is very fast as usual.

The next part of the panel is the Search Options. This powerful tool allows you different views of your results – page previews with thumbnails, sites with images, filter the shopping results or the translated ones.

Some new functions has also been improved on the other application, such as google maps and google translate.

In google map, you can find places (shops, cafe, restaurant) nearby your searching point. Let's say you were searching on Times Square, New York. Google map can give suggestion on some place for you to have fun, plus pictures as well. You can also try the new Google Map 3D. It is actually using the Google Earth on the web browser, instead of directly using the application. To use it, you must install the Google Earth plugin

While google translates now can automatically detect what kind of languages you typed in, in which you have to choose manually before. 

Here is the video explaining all the new features in Google.

Discovering your Body Talent

This post going to show or make you discover that what your body can do. So today we are going to learn how to stop tears, needle pain, hiccups, and many more..

 

   

1. Stopping ur Needle Pain

Make your next shot feel less piercing by putting pressure around the area that's about to be stuck. Follow this instruction

"Make a circle with your thumb and forefinger and push down for a few seconds as you're receiving the shot,"

This technique will confuse your nerve so that the needles will feels just like a gentle poke into your body, not a sharp jab

2. Silence your hiccups 

"Take the deepest breath you can, hold it for 10 seconds, then, without exhaling, suck in more air and hold it for five more seconds. Finally—still without exhaling!—breathe in as much more air as you can squeeze in, hold for another five seconds, and exhale. Then breathe normally."

3.Holding your tears.

If you're tearing up at an inappropriate moment, just clear your throat. "It interrupts the mechanism in the nasal passage and larynx that controls crying," says Rebecca Nagy, a Charlotte, North Carolina-based meditation expert. Plus, after you clear your throat, you tend to swallow. This lifts your tongue to the roof of your mouth, which blocks the soft palate, making you unable to cry. "I've suggested this technique many times to brides and grooms who had trouble getting through their vows," Nagy says.
