Is it really possible to tell people's characters and personalities from their faces?? The Chinese certainly think so. two thousand years ago, the art of reading the faces, Mian Xiang, was developed, and today Chinese woman still be a shy and boring husband. So how can they tell?? well, they say there are ten different types of faces. For example, a triangular face is a fire-face and a square face is a wall-face. All ten types suggest different personalities and characters.but it is not only the shape of the face that is important. The nose, mouth, eye, chin, and ears all hold extra information about a person. How does Mian Xiang work?? here are some things to remember. Beautiful faces are not always the best; people with ugly faces may be luckier! People with jade-faces may have had difficult childhoods. this kind of face is diamond-shaped. The late Diana, Princes of Wales, had a jade-face. Some one who has one eye a little larger than the other may have parents who are divorced, or may they have been unhappy children. A bigger left eye means that the person may be very charming. A bigger right eye suggests the person might be a jealous type. If a person's ears are higher than their eyebrows, he or she might be famous before the age of 30.
Currently, Britain gets three-fourths of its electricity from natural gas, coal, and nuclear power. But domestic production of natural gas in the North Sea has peaked and is declining rapidly, and the Labor Party intends to retire by 2016 coal and nuclear power plants that now generate a third of Britain’s electricity. The plants will be shut down largely to comply with European Union environmental regulations.
To keep the lights on, the Labor Party plans to rely on renewable energy sources, which the government promises will generate 40 % of Britain’s electricity by 2020.
However, a number of recent studies cast doubt on the feasibility of Labor’s 2020 target. In July, the non-partisan Renewable Energy Foundation released a report warning that “a near fatal preoccupation with politically attractive but marginal forms of renewables seems to have caused a blindness towards the weakening of the UK’s power stations.” The report predicted steep increases in energy bills.
Last week, Iain Fells, emeritus professor of energy conversion at the University of Newcastle, issued a report, “A Pragmatic Energy Policy for the UK,” which states that the 2020 renewable energy targets were “demonstrably unattainable.” Prof. Fells warned of massive, disruptive blackouts if Britain continued with its current energy policy.
Acupuncture Provides Cost-Effective Relief For Asthma Patients
0 komentar Diposting oleh karamel di 10.08Any kind of ailment can be costly to treat, and asthma is no exception. Inhalers are increasing in price, and consumers are looking for more cost-effective methods of dealing with such respiratory disorders. Asthma affects more than 15 million people in the United States, and the strain of living with asthma has been compounded by inflated average wholesale prices.
Acupuncture, a 5,000-year-old Chinese medical practice, is proving to be one way for some asthma patients to manage their symptoms without over-paying. In a study conducted by the University Hospital of Vienna, over 70 percent of patients with long-standing asthma reported a significant improvement in their symptoms after 10 weeks of acupuncture treatment.
Bronchospasms associated with asthma result from over-stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system. Stimulation of acupuncture points can relieve both physical and emotional stress because they trigger the release of endorphins in the brain. Asthma sufferers can therefore experience both a physical release from bronchial constriction, and also an emotional or psychological release from the fear of constriction and suffocation.
Acupuncture is also more cost-effective than many Western drug therapies. In 1990, costs related to asthma were estimated at $6.2 billion. According to the American Lung Association, the average cost for one hospital stay for a child with asthma is $4,000. Acupuncture, by contrast, costs an average of $85 per session and can eliminate the need for emergency hospital visits and Western drugs. An estimated 70 to 80 percent of the nation's insurers covered acupuncture treatments in 1996, making it an even more viable option for those with asthma.

One the last day of October, you can see little witches, monsters, black cats, and ghosts walking in the street. They knock on the doors, and the ask the people in the houses for sweets. This is called "trick or treating". There are pumpkins in the windows and doorways. Some of them have very scary faces. These pumpkins are called "jack-o'-lanterns".
Many years ago, people thought that the spirits of the dead returned to earth on October 31. but now it's just a fun holiday in the United States, Great Britain, and other English speaking countries.
Many children and adults wear costumes and go to parties. Sometimes, they listen to scary stories or watch scary movies. They eat cookies and sweets and have a good time.
Massive critical acclaim usually help to mute frienzied tabloid excess, but the case of Nicole Kidman, she gets the kudos and the headlines. In 2006, the Academy Award winner became the highest paid actress in the film industry, well-deserved after her performences in film like To Die For, Moulin Rouge, and The Hours.
