a la British, à la, gastropub,gastronomy, culinary, velour or velours, stile

 While English food typically gets a bad rap, there are certain things that the English do really well when it comes to eating and drinking. They invented the Scotch Egg, they eat a lot of pie and they've made drinking outside part of their daily routine. London is home to some of the best restaurants in the world, other countries -- especially our own -- are imitating the English gastropub at every turn, and hearty, simple fair à la the English Sunday Roast is more fashionable than ever. More and more, the reputation of bad English food is unfair and outdated.

 《中英對照讀新聞》Chocolate and agar recipe can halve the fat 巧克力加石花可減半脂肪

◎國際新聞中心
Chemists have found a new way to halve the fat of chocolate using liquids which does not change the "mouthfeel". Low-fat preparations of chocolate are well known, but their textures tend not to match the real thing.
化學家發現使用液體減半巧克力脂肪,也不會改變「口感」的新方法。低脂巧克力已經很普遍,但口感往往比不上貨真價實的巧克力。
A report at an American Chemical Society meeting described a method using the popular gelling agent agar to make tiny "sponges" that displace fat.
一份在「美國化學學會」會議上發表的報告,描述利用頗受歡迎的凝膠劑石花,製造微小「海綿」取代脂肪的方法。
Normal chocolate gets much of its velvety feel from an emulsion of fat globules suspended within the solid.
正常巧克力的絲滑口感,大部分是從懸浮在固體狀巧克力中的脂肪球凝膠而來。
Replacing those is tricky - any substitutes have to remain dispersed throughout the chocolate as it is heated and cooled to a solid, and they have to remain small.
要取代那種口感很難,替代品必須在巧克力加熱及冷卻成固體時,都能維持散布在巧克力中,也必須要小。

Merriam-Webster announces new dictionary words: 'Selfie,' 'tweep,' 'Yooper' and more

Merriam-Webster Adds "Steampunk," "Spoiler Alert," and "Fangirl" to the English Dictionary
Merriam-Webster announced the addition of one hundred fifty new words to its celebrated dictionary of American English, from “Auto-Tune” (to adjust ...


The chattering classes is a generally derogatory[1] term first coined by Auberon Waugh[2] often used by pundits and political commentators to refer to a politically active, socially concerned and highly educated section of the "metropolitan middle class,"[1] especially those with political, media, and academic connections. It is sometimes used to refer to a liberal elite, but its first use by British right wing polemicist Frank Johnson in 1980 appeared to include a wider range of pundits.[1] Indeed, the term is used by people all across the political spectrum to refer to the journalists and political operatives who see themselves as the arbiters of conventional wisdom.[3] As such, the notion of 'chattering classes' can be seen as an antonym to the older idea of an unrepresented Silent Majority (made famous by the U.S. Republican President Richard Nixon).
In the United States, the term has come to be used by both the right and left-wings to describe political opponents, with Stephen Perrault of the Merriam-Webster dictionary suggesting that the term has "connotations of idleness, of useless talk, that the noun 'chatter' does. [...] These people don't amount to much — they like to hear themselves talk."[4]

Calling all bandos! The word “bando’’ has made its way into the open online Merriam-Webster dictionary under “new words and slang.’’ The definition?
The UMass marching band at the memorial service earlier this month for band director George Parks. The UMass marching band at the memorial service earlier this month for band director George Parks. (Essdras M Suarez/Globe Staff)
Bando: (noun) : a member of a marching band.
The entry refers to a tribute I wrote to my former UMass marching band director, Mr. Parks, who died suddenly on a band trip in September: “We bandos experienced that feeling time and time again at exhibitions in Pennsylvania, Canada, at Giants Stadium (to name a few), and at every single football game at our home in Amherst.’’
My bando friends and I have had many “aha moments’’ through the years with Mr. Parks — including at the huge Homecoming reunion this month where more than 900 alumni performed with 400 members of the UMass Minuteman marching band in honor of our late leader — so it seems fitting that “bando’’ is a new word right along with:
“aha moment’’ (noun): a set of circumstances or series of events that lead to recognition or insight.
Aha, bandos. You’re in!

A cheque with Thomas Jefferson as payee and payor from 1809
A cheque from 1905
A cheque from 1933
A cheque sample from Canada 2006
A cheque (or check in American English) is a document[nb 1] that orders a payment of money from a bank account. The person writing the cheque, the drawer, has a transaction banking account (often called a current, cheque, chequing or checking account) where their money is held. The drawer writes the various details including the monetary amount, date, and a payee on the cheque, and signs it, ordering their bank, known as the drawee, to pay that person or company the amount of money stated.
Cheques are a type of bill of exchange and were developed as a way to make payments without the need to carry large amounts of money. While paper money evolved from promissory notes, another form of negotiable instrument, similar to cheques in that they were originally a written order to pay the given amount to whoever had it in their possession (the "bearer").
Technically, a cheque is a negotiable instrument[nb 2] instructing a financial institution to pay a specific amount of a specific currency from a specified transactional account held in the drawer's name with that institution. Both the drawer and payee may be natural persons or legal entities. Specifically, cheques are order instruments, and are not in general payable simply to the bearer (as bearer instruments are) but must be paid to the payee. In some countries, such as the US, the payee may endorse the cheque, allowing them to specify a third party to whom it should be paid.
Although forms of cheques have been in use since ancient times and at least since the 9th century, it was during the 20th century that cheques became a highly popular non-cash method for making payments and the usage of cheques peaked. By the second half of the 20th century, as cheque processing became automated, billions of cheques were issued annually; these volumes peaked in or around the early 1990s.[1] Since then cheque usage has fallen, being partly replaced by electronic payment systems. In an increasing number of countries cheques have either become a marginal payment system or have been completely phased out.

Island finally rid of namesake pests

Alaska's Rat Island is finally rat-free, 229 years after a Japanese shipwreck spilled rampaging rodents onto the remote Aleutian island, virtually destroying the bird population.

After dropping poison from helicopters for a week and a half last autumn, there are no signs of rat life, and some birds have returned, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service reports.

Rats have ruled the island since 1780, when they jumped off a sinking Japanese ship and terrorized all but the largest birds on the island. The incident introduced the nonnative Norway rat -- also known as the brown rat -- to Alaska.

The $2.5-million Rat Island eradication project, a joint effort of the federal government, the Nature Conservancy and Island Conservation, is one of the world's most ambitious attempts to remove destructive alien species from an island.

Creating the power of the sun in a hamster wheel

Scientists have long been looking for a way to create energy through the power of fusion. While they have managed to generate a spark, they can't maintain it for more and a few seconds. German researchers are hoping to change that with a new reactor.

Some 60 kilometers (37.3 miles) northeast of the French city of Marseille stands the site where scientists hope to make nuclear fusion a reality. An international consortium plans to build the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, or ITER, which also happens to be Latin for ‘the way’. By 2018 they hope to use this reactor to create energy, similar to the way it’s created on the sun.
But actually creating a functional fusion reactor is a herculean task. ITER will only be able to run for a few minutes, due to the current fusion technology available. So while a few minutes of nuclear fusion energy is impressive, it doesn’t really do us a whole lot of good in the grander scheme of things.
So scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics in the German city of Greifswald have begun experimenting with a technical alternative. A prototype should be up and running by 2014 that is meant to prove that nuclear fusion reactors can be operated continuously.

Like other rodents, hamsters are highly motivated to run in wheels.


Encyclopaedia Britannica said it would stop printing its namesake books, a sign of how readers in recent years have abandoned printed reference volumes for websites such as Wikipedia and Google.

Macula 斑點

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search
Macula
Human eye cross-sectional view.
Latin macula lutea
Gray's subject #225 1015
MeSH Macula+Lutea
Dorlands/Elsevier m_01/12509252
The macula or macula lutea (from Latin macula, "spot" + lutea, "yellow") is an oval yellow spot near the center of the retina of the human eye. It has a diameter of about 1.5 mm and is often histologically defined as having two or more layers of ganglion cells. Near its center is the fovea, a small pit that contains the largest concentration of cone cells in the eye and is responsible for central vision.
It is specialized for high acuity vision. Within the macula are the fovea and foveola which contain a high density of cones (photoreceptors with high acuity).

[edit] Clinical significance

Whereas loss of peripheral vision may go unnoticed for some time, damage to the macula will result in loss of central vision, which is usually immediately obvious. The progressive destruction of the macula is a disease known as macular degeneration and leads to the creation of a macular hole. Macular holes can rarely be caused by trauma, but if a severe blow is delivered perfectly it can burst the blood vessels going to the macula, destroying it.
Visual input to the macula occupies a substantial portion of the brain's visual capacity. As a result, some forms of visual field loss can occur without involving the macula; this is termed macular sparing. (For example, visual field testing might demonstrate homonymous hemianopsia with macular sparing.) This finding can be very informative for the ophthalmologist.
