❤Bright Ideas❤

Among the notable offerings at the International Exhibition of Inventions in Geneva, Switzerland, in April were beer-flavored jelly (non-alcoholic) to spread on biscuits, and artificial, removable nose hair (swabs of pipe cleaner for the nostrils to block pollen and dust). ("Most people do not have enough nose hair," inventor Gensheng Sun told The Associated Press.) Italian engineer Enrico Berruti said it was his personal laziness that led him to develop a bed that makes itself, with automatic sheet-shaking and straightening. Diane Cheong Lee Mei of China swore that her novel computer software employed algorithms sophisticated enough to enable the user to detect the gender of any e-mail writer.

"Necessity is the mother of invention". We human beings have completed many great inventions, such as telephone, computer, and airplane. These inventions were not only brought a better life for people but broke the limitation of time and space.

But how about beer flavored jelly? How dose it tastes like ? Maybe some day we will have vomitive or other special flavor. Do you need artificial, removable nose hair to block pollen and dust from your nose? It sounds really funny and weird. We heard that people go to plant their hair for better looking, but never thought that we also can plant our nose hair, ha! We must aware of its length, or else....

An computer which can detect the gender of any e-mail writer? Isn't it funny? It is really sophisticated enough! But why we need this kind of computer? To know the secret of genders? The other day I saw an interesting invention by a Japanese group.There was a kind of equipment which shapes like a calculating machine. You can use it to detect whether the people is really laugh or smile sincerely or not. Maybe it seemed useless, but pretty funny. How these people came up with these ideas?

As a matter of fact, we all can become great inventors if we are willing to try.
See you next time on International Exhibition of Inventions!! Good luck!!

❤Plastic Surgery❤

Would you want to become as" beautiful" as she?

[MSNBC-Glamour, 4-20-08]

"Many of my young patients think about getting plastic surgery the way they'd think about getting their hair done," explained Dr. David Alessi of Beverly Hills, Calif., who is still amazed at women's willingness to endure "extreme" cosmetic alterations. "Vaginal rejuvenation" (labiaplasty) might be the most sensational procedure, but surgeons also do "forehead implants" and ankle and shoulder liposuction, break and reset jaws to tweak smiles, and lengthen or shorten toes (for "toe cleavage" with certain shoes). Alessi told a Glamour magazine writer for an April story that one 25-year-old recently asked him to "remove" her navel (whereas most umbilicoplasty patients merely request reshaping). Said a bemused colleague, "There's some consensus about what makes for an attractive ... face, but we have no definition of the ideal navel."

Can you believe that? Someone do the plastic surgery in order to get an ideal “navel”!? At first I thought it was interesting, but take a deep look of this phenomenon I suddenly feel a little bit sad.Many research shows there are a lot of side effects of plastic surgery, but it still can not stop people from taking the risk. Indeed, we all want to be beautiful (I mean appearance) and attract others attention. There are many “gorgeous people” on the TV, movies. They have beautiful faces, great figures, thin and even skinny. I have to admit that I admire them like most of people, And I really hope one day I can become more beautiful.

"Appearance do matters"! To be honest,I am quit approved with this opinion. There was a research in U.S. shows that people who have more attractive appearance would own more12% salary than the people who have more "ordinary" appearance. The research group pointed out that handsome guy and beauty are more easily obtain favorable impression from their colleagues, so the efficiency of work team would be better. Another report from British indicated that good looking defendant would be more easily acquited or reduced a penalty, but if you are ugly then be careful for cumulative penalty.

This is really an unfair world, you may think.
It seems that appearance can determine one's whole life, however, is that true?
Time fly away and we grew old like rose whithered, the only thing can remain forever is one's heart and "inner beauty".
