Stock issue

A person jumped off from his home in the high building recently because of the stock issue. Last year, the first 10 months, many people gained a lot from the stock market. This guy had his work to sell some small things before he entered the stock market, and bought this expensive house with loan. Last year, he entered the stock market, and inscreased his profit almost 100%, then he made the living all depends on it. But recently, the stock market turned green, he can't accept the lose, so end his life by this way.

His input is 30,000, his highest number is ~60,000, now 21,000 was remained in his stock account, so the total lose from the beginning so far is less than 10,000 CNY, really small number. But he gave his life.

He was 38 years old, has a family with young wife, old mother and little daughter.

If you can't lose, then dont go close to the stock market. This is an good advice.

Sunset

There's an old story about seeking after the sun. One evening when I was in the taxi, I saw the beautiful sunset ahead, then I asked the driver to drive slowly so that I can take the photo of it. The driver said, you never saw such sunset?
hehe, People working for whole daytime is not easy to see the sunset, because that time she was in the office or in the underground, and people living in the city full of high buildings is also not easy to see the sunset, sun hid in the polluted sky or behind the concrete trees.

Pencil vs Computer

One of my friends' father is an old engineer. Last week when I asked whether they can produce a kind of stainless steel art cup, he provide the design and cost right after we describe the requirement. When I looked at the picture he provided, I can't believe it's drawed by pencil, very neat and tidiness.
I ever saw how the constucture engineer work, they draw blueprint by the 3D software on the computure, then printed it by the large printer. But it's much more amazing that man can draw a product picture like this by hand.

Tibet violence

It's sorry to learn that violence happened in Tibet yesterday, cars were burned, CCTV reported this in the XINWENLIANBO.
Recently there's a terrorism happened on the plane from Xinjiang to Beijing.
Tibet and Xinjiang are two minority provinces of China, beautiful places to travel.
Some groups want to make them independent, so they are not as safe as other provinces.

We need peace, no war are welcomed.

Take me home

Tonight is the first time I drive the car alone at night by myself.
The driver tutor ever accompanied me with the second brake, he took care of the speed, direction for me when he was sitting by my side;
My brother and father ever accompanied me without the second brake, they took care of the speed, direction, roadway, walkingman, motor, cars for me, which is tiring and worrying;
My friends ever took my seat to drive me home, until the car was at the parking place.

Here are some snow photos I took 20 days ago. Kids of my family enjoy the heavy snow very much. When I tried to walk on the snow, they asked me to follow the existed footprint, don't leave foorprints in other place, "No pollution to them". Snow was heavy in my hometown, but it did not become the disasiter, we enjoyed the snow very much.


A ship made by the money

Money can buy the ship, but what kind of ship can 10 yuan buy? Let's DIY.
It's a ship made by one cent RMB, about 80 pieces. Besides the one cents RMB, the red thread is used to join and fix the components.
It's a wedding gift to the owner by her little sister. Ships with the sail means EASY in Chinese. It's wishing an easy life.

The seal cutting (Carving) is an art like mini construction, it has the long history. Different typefaces can make different cutting style. It's not easy to be a marvin of the seal cutting. One example is that WuCangShuo(吴昌硕, 1844-1927), who is a great master of the poet, calligraphy, drawing, seal cutting art, he learnt the poet fist, then learn calligraphy, then drawing, seal cutting, from this we can know the difficult of the seal cutting. Here are some of his products:

This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005.

The calligraphy is also mentioned in the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005 at Stanford University.
Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.
