This week I want to discuss the topic of hair losing with you.
The reason why I pick this article is that I'm worried about my less and less hair too....
I will post the questions by tomorrow night and discuss with you on Wednesday evening.
See you then~ :)

This article is a little bit long.
Please go the the original website to read the article or at least try to see the picture of cute Sophie the Giraffe
which is the hottest product among babies, although they can not choose not to buy it by themselves.
We are going to talk about the art of rejection. I found out an interesting article in the website below.
The Art of Rejection: How to Turn Him Down Without Being A B****

Maybe the article is not only good for girls, but also guys. If a girl/boy rejects someone her/he doesn’t like more kindly, someone gets hurt less. Doesn’t it? The art of rejection is also useful in general relationship. For example in the career life, it’s how to say no to your boss. "Sure, boss, I'll stay late". "Sure, I can work this weekend". "Sure, I can take on that new project." Say "Yes" to your boss often enough, and your life goes out the window. Believe it or not, being a Yes Man or Yes Woman may not even help your career.

For nearly a decade, I was an evangelical vegan – a born-again, plant-powered fundamentalist, resplendent in my animal-rights halo and heavenly faux-fur robes. I fiercely guarded my inflexible morality, never daring to reexamine the orthodoxy’s most illogical presuppositions. Yes, meat is still murder and factory farms still cause animal cruelty and suffering – none of that has changed. Somewhere along the way, however, veganism stopped being synonymous with ethical treatment of animals and people.
Over the past six months, I’ve come to believe that strict dogma is a drag. Conscientious consumption means eating and living ethically, not religiously. As Slate’s Christopher Cox says, “Eating ethically is not a purity pissing contest, and the more vegans or vegetarians pretend that it is, the more their diets start to resemble mere fashion—and thus risk being dismissed as such.”
Below are eight instances where mainstream-vegan doctrine doesn’t stand up to scrutiny:
SAD: The Standard American Diet: with its 100-calorie, reduced-fat, Omega-3-fortified, fiber-added, high-protein, low-carb, soybean- and corn-based, triple plastic-wrapped snack-packs – is the cause of this country’s obesity, heart-disease, cancer, and diabetes epidemics. This industrial diet requires industrial farming – with all the pesticides, herbicides, genetically modified crops, and exploited farm workers therein. If veganism is about eating ethically, soy-based ice cream, frozen, faux-cheese pizza, and meatless buffalo wings don’t cut it. Sure, it’s cool that cows and chickens aren’t directly harmed in the process, but what about the farm workers’ daily exposure to pesticides and fertilizers, the degradation of the environment, and our population’s chronic sickness? If there were ever a fail-safe argument for eating local, sustainable, fresh, slow-foods, this is it.

Hi, everyone~I’m Mei.
Here are links to two of my favorite songs(recently) with lyrics and it’s ok whether you listen to them or not. Listening to music is my way to stay calm and figure something out whenever I face some struggle situations or feel a sense of frustration, and besides listening to the rhythm of a song, I always read its lyric which affect my feel to the song. So, how about sharing your way to relieve yourself when you come across some difficulty or under go the hard time of your life?

In 1973, vexed by an Arab oil embargo and soaring fuel prices, President Richard M. Nixon championed a long-term solution: to have 1,000 nuclear reactors in place in America by the year 2000 as part of a national energy independence plan.
That never came to pass: 104 nuclear reactors operate today, compared with 40 then. The last permit for construction of what became a fully operational nuclear plant was issued in 1978.

Bill Gates: How state budgets are breaking US schools
Hi, all.
The link is a talk " How state budgets are breaking US schools"given by Bill Gates.
"The Fierce Wife" is the hottest Taiwanese drama series recently. It creates a sensational debute among viewers about a husband (or a wife) having an affair. In my Chang-Gung(長庚) electric engineering lab, over than half students keep following the story every week. (Remember that all these students are male nerdy geeks who always immerse themselve in the CG world and have the infatuation of Gundam). I can not ask you to watch the whole series, but the MV of ending music offers another good sad story which epitomize those surrowful love affairs we may encounter in our daily life, though it is exaggeratedly dramatic. Below is the clip of the MV on Youtube:
