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.

If your house is powered off

We used to have this topic to write the article in the exam, or discuss the important of the electricity. In our childhood, sometimes we still had power cut arranged by the govenment or the electricity company, so we have prepared the oil lights or candles, or portable flashlights in the home. But in recent 20 years, power cut issues seldom happen, we take lightness for granted, power-on the home electronic appliance as of-course, drink the water from the pipes without saying. When we heard the stories or read the articles about electricity supply lacking in India, we thought it's far far away.

In this winter, many of the places including big cities and small towns, countries, realized that the power are transferred by the high-tension cables.

The design of the the cables only consider the 15 cm snow and ice coverage, but this winter, some places have the ice covered more than 50 cm, which does not happen for 50 or 100 years.




The snow and the Powered-off cause the traffic jams and productive problem, many travellers have to be detained in the station or on the way, many goods are not able to be delivered on time, the water companies also cant run.
Shocked by the photos of the ices and the heads in the Guangzhou station. People need the food to eat, need the water to drink, need some devices for getting warm. God bless them.

Almost 10 days past from the last heavy snow, the CCTV is still reporting that the repairing progress of the electricity, A piece of news reported: 2000,000 candles was sent to Hunan province for the lights by the air forces. There're more than 4 provinces like Hunan. The difficulties to solve the problems and recover the normal daily routine is much harder than expected.

Winter storm disaster

Nothing is impossible. The cities always warm in southern China became places freezen. All the feathered clothes in the city were sold out to the People who did not need it for about 50 years.

In the summer, the mouse became disaster in Hunan, Hubei province, in the winter, the snow and ice became disaster in that area.

Is there any relation between the disasters and the Yangtz long river Hydraulic engineering?

Take care of the environment.

High-Tension Cable issue conflicting in Shanghai

Recently this is a hot topic here.

There's High-Tension Cable hanging over the CHUNSHEN urban area of Shanghai, China, the local residents did not know that when they bought the department in this area. In Aug. 2006, Shanghai electricty company announced that electricty capacity will be extended, and provided 3 options to collect the feedback from the residents. Thus the 220,000 volt High-Tension Cable will go through 9 schools and 20 living Subdistricts.
Though it's said that according to the research till now, no proof has been found that it will be harmful to people's health, the residents along the line did not feel comfortable of its existence. The cost of burying the cable into the underground can be counted, but the health is invaluable. According to the industry standard, 20m is the safe distance, currently the nearest distance between the cable to the building is 49m, 76m, from human nature, people fear of this kind of things, it's still too close. So they asked the electricity company to bury the Cable into the underground, there's already examples in other district of Shanghai that it's technically feasible, this is an improved proposal according to thrid option.
However, due to some reason, the company can't agree with this proposal, it insisted on its original proposal, with a little change -- no new high-tension corridor will be created, and existing corridor will be transformed to multi-loop or cable mode.
In Sep. 2007, it started construction without the agreement of the residents, neither had they annouced the construction start. It caused the strong disagreement of the residents, they began to call community together to fight against it, for these reasons:
1. needs to be known about the construction plan, when buying the deparment here, and now
2. public hearing will need to be held before the construction.

Their trying including:
1. legal action, by a lawyer resident.
2. collective signatures petition, letters, emails to the goverment.
3. hanging out the banners with the words "Anti High Tension" in large letters over their windows.
4. zealous demonstration

The electricty company said that the construction program is urgent and legal, but no understanding gained from the the residents. In late November, the conflictment became white-hot, the company broke into the subdistrict, hundreds of the residents met at the basketball court to show their opposition. The police was also involved.

The information was closed in local new report.

Power is necessary in our life nowadays, we can't refuse it. Personally I have no idea which one is better, over the sky or under the ground. If dear reader you by chance is an expert in this area, kindly put a comment or shout at my shout box. Thanks.

Some of my friends lived in that area, best wishes to all of them.



Note of Subdistrict:
Subdistrict is a low level administrative country subdivision. In Thailand it may refer to the king amphoe or to the tambon. For China see: subdistricts of China.
The Subdistrict is one of the smallest Political divisions of China. In general, urban areas are divided into subdistricts (街道办事处 jiēdàobànshìchù or simply 街办 jiēbàn, literally "street offices"), and a subdistrict is divided into several communities or neighbourhoods (居民区,居住区,小区,社区).

The Three Signs of a Miserable Job

It's a book being hotly sold in Amazon, written by Patrick Lencioni.

according to this book, 3 factors of the job make you feel uncomfortable even sufferred.

1. no one cares your work
2. can't measure: you don't know whether you do well or not
3. feeling like it doesn't matter however you did.

As for me, the environment is the most important. There're stupid managers everywhere, no one can be perfect, it doesn't matter much, but when stupid met cold heart, sufferring happen.

Environment problem

HRH The Prince of Wales wrote an article about some news of the Corporate Leaders Group on Climate Change. following are some data included in his article.

The Ice and Snow Data Centre predicted, the polar ice will disappear in the summer in 7 to 23 years, which means the earth can't reflect the solar heat as much as before, then the temperature will rise worldwidely.

Stop deforesting tropical rain forest is important, they gave out 20% Treibhausgas, quantity is the top second, just after power industry.

The influence of House price

recently some employees from electric industry of Shenzhen, China are discussing the influence of House price.

Many factories, companies have to move away from Shenzhen, one is because of the price of the company building is high, another is because of the house price is too high for their employees to afford, thus, the industry structure of the city has to be changed by the house price.

stop abusing the air condition

”Bloggers
The badges are created by NINE. I did not find a propriate badge for this posting, so just pick this.

As a posting response to proposal of Blogging Against Abuse, I select the topic about air condition. In some place it's running all the time and at every corner when not necessary.

In many company, the air conditions are running busy. It's said that the companies want to create the condition that employees can always dress on one shirt inside in every season. Some public places, like shopping mall, air port, also provide air condition all along the year.

But many times, the air condition makes it so cold, that people inside have to dress on more than what they need outside. It's very easy to make people catch the cold, or get the arthronosos.

Do we have some strong reason to waste the electricity in such cases?

Season's difference is the bliss we got. Some machine may need give out the heat or keep the constant temperature, but for people, it's OK to be more close to the seacon's change.

If there're both machine and people to take care, the air condition needs to be set to service them seperately, so they can be easy to control; and the air condition is only set to service the people, it needs to be able to adjust according to crowd intelligently, no matter automatically or manually, and sometimes we can stop it and open the windows.

In all, to keep a healty life and working environment, to save the electricity and resource, Let's stop abusing the air condition.

What do you call it?


hah, it comes to the market today. 5 RMB yuan per KG, though very small yet.

I like eating it without cooking, a little bitter, but can feel the fresh scent of the lake. My mom said that when I was a very little one, I ever went with grandpa to lake on the small boat to pick up them. I did not remember it, but should be very happy hah.

Besides good taste, it can help one lose weight, and anti cancer.

I don't find the english name of it in the dictionary. It belongs to Trapaceae.

What's your favorite game in your childhood?

My newphew and his friends are talking about the computer games, electric pets, I know little of them. In my childhood, we have no computer, TV, or other electrical devices, so we play games with friends face to face, all the material are gotten from nature, real, not virtually.

One of the game is getting the popsicle sticks. We collect the sticks (wood or bamboo, thin, like small chopsticks) after eaten, at least 20 pieces and two players. When play, We scatter them on the table, the sticks are piled up, then the players use a tool stick to pick up the sticks from them, if any stick shake in the pile, turn the round to next player, finally the player won if he got the most of the sticks.

What's your favorite game in your childhood?

Sudden Huge Profits

While there's sudden huge profits, there's copy. This is the stregth of the market.

Some of the result are as following,
1. the overall product privce down
the original company should look at this when setup the price strategy before such conflicts.

2. the overall industry creativity down, and finally most of them broken up
The copying company has a short eye.
The one survived must be creative, and treasure its own brand.

Open attitude to the new things

Not all new things are welcome by the public, some of them even sound illegal.

When there's many cases of such illegal things, we need think if there's something wrong with the existings.

While talking about OEM mobile phone, an editor in EET China stated this point and brought some examples, one is that in Chongqing, some couple did fake divorce and re-married for the house, because the solution of the removal is not reasonable; another is the famer in Chongqing take the land contract personally which originally is illegal, but later it became legal.

His point and attitude is apperciatable.

The Power of the AD.

Today when I'm buying a kind of seafood, a lady came to ask whether this is being advertised on TV yesterday, and asked me what's the taste of it.

This kind of seafood has been in this market since I came here 4 years ago. And that lady speaks local language and looks like a frequenter of this market. It's the first time she buy it.

This is the power of the AD.

Paper work

Not a pleasing title? Hah, yes, I know. Sometime the QA people in the company are being hated, many market, project, design people don't like the long list of paper work.

So, have some fun after your lunch time for another kind of paper work. This beautiful chair is made of one paper cup. Genius, who thought out this. Another kind of recycling. Many years ago I made some craft artficials from the cocacola bottle, also very beautiful.

The original interpretation below was in Chinese, if the picture did not talk itself clearly, and you want to make one, please let me know, I'd glad to show one by one.

Mummy return

The first words I thought when I saw the mouse running in the TV news. What a terrible scene.

Now, an estimated 2 billion mice are ravaging crops in 22 counties around the Dongting lake. Residents have killed more than 2.3 million field mice -- or 90 tons of the rodents, the official Xinhua News Agency said.

As checked, this problem existed in last centry, and burst out in 2005.

Some experts said two things maybe the main causes. One is that the number of those animals like snake, wolf, eagle who can eat mice are rapidly reduced, because the residents there killed and ate them in recent years; another one is that police of filling the lake to get the earth about ten years ago.

A resident said that after the mouse were killed by the poisons, they give out the terrible smell. Whether they are live or be killed, they are the problem.

Take care of the environment.
