The most dangerous breakfast food lists
by Janet Wednesday, June 10, 2009
Even the nutritionists comparing most of people pay more attention to a healthy diet have recognized that it is very difficult to help children every day for breakfast.
However, even if the take-away eating breakfast, you can find healthy choices. We ask the National Taiwan University Hospital dietitians weng hui ling, Taipei City Hospital Dietitians zhou xiu juan, and Taipei Mackay Memorial Hospital dietitian Xu Shu, with help from modern busy parents of four types of breakfast, the children choose the best breakfast portfolio.
At the same time, they list the most dangerous breakfast food below.
First, convenience stores
Convenient stores as a breakfast food seems a lot, such as buns, bread, rice, hotdogs with bread , yogurt, tea-leaf eggs, etc, but which are the most recommended combination by dietitians, which is not suited to eat?
● dangerous combination: hot dogs fort + sugary drinks
Hot dogs because it is processing meat products, not low calorie and fat, but also with more salt. Children often add extra tomato sauce or sour cucumber sauce on the top. They will eat more sodium and calories. With the sauce on the hot dog, the calories will reach to more than 500 cals. It’s very astonishing. If you drink it again the bottle of sugary beverages such as tea or black tea, the calories can be as high as 600 ~ 700 cals, far more than the calorie of the children needs from breakfast.
● health portfolio: rice roll + low-fat milk or yogurt
An approximately rice rolls more than 200 cals, and relatively low fat content, and contain carbohydrates and protein, if it coupled with low-fat milk, a combination of such praise by nutritionists and the food for the children. In addition, sometimes we can also consider buying low-fat yogurt, with a tea-leaf egg, protein helps clear the mind, there is the spirit of class.

The comprehensive monitoring of personal computers in China
by Janet Wednesday, June 3, 2009
According to “The Wall Street Journal” reported that the Chinese Government plans after July 1, requires that all computers sold in China must be installed at the factory known as “green dam” (Green Dam-Youth Escort) software is intended to protect not from adults when in contact with the Internet “harmful” content.
Although this policy has not been announced, but the Chinese government has conveyed this request to the major PC manufacturers, the general forecast it will strengthen the Chinese government to monitor the network level, but also enhance the Government’s review of Web content.
The world’s largest personal computer maker Hewlett-Packard (Hewlett-Packard) has said that the company is working with the Government to assess the relevant departments on the “green dam” the best solution. Hewlett-Packard spokesman said: “We will focus on providing the best customer experience, and to ensure that we meet any necessary regulatory requirements.” And China’s largest personal computer maker Lenovo do not comment on the external.
U.S. Embassy spokesman Susan Stevenson said on the news that the U.S. is studying the new requirement to assess its impact, he said that he would pay close attention to any attempt to restrict the free flow of information measures, and as contrary to China to establish a modern, information-based economic and social ambitions.
It’s generally believed that the strength of the network to monitor the implementation of the policy, will force manufacturers of personal computers, “choose sides”: On one side is to support China’s policy, but in the international community will be under heavy criticism, the other side of the Government to reject the “good intentions”, and then looked on helplessly while the world market has the potential to be their opponent swallow like a whale.
According to the International Data Center (IDC), in 2008, China’s personal computer sales of close to 4,000 million units, second only to the United States, is already the world’s second largest PC market.
On the other hand, PC manufacturers are also widespread fear that this may be caused by software conflicts or system crashes, which lead to consumer concerns about product quality. China Software Testing Center, said Miss Wu, the “green dam” has been the subject of extensive testing, the system did not find any conflict. But the market generally did not challenge the Chinese government to the computer manufacturers and operating system developers (eg Microsoft) have sufficient time to test “green dam” that once hastily July 1 start of the program, could lead to computer malfunction or When the machine.
The market is worried about the “green dam” by the blockade will not only pornographic sites, but specific foreign media, or other by the Chinese Government that the anti-government website.

by Janet Wednesday, May 13, 2009Knockoff Cellphones is taking over China market
by Janet Wednesday, May 06, 2009
Imagining that the engineers who are millionaires with doctor and master degree, when they design the chips of the cell phone for multimedia functions in order to figure out that how can the farmers hear the ringtone from the ridge. They even need to understand the distribution of the schools in China especially for the school children to use their GRS more wisely. When they arrive to school, the cell phone will send text messages to the parents automatically.
From farmers to children for those who are usually neglected by the market. But one day, if someone meet their needs, a humongous revolution is coming up soon.It’s the war between tiny ants and big tree.
Walking into the 3C mall in Shenzen Huagiang north area, here is the significant distributing center of Chinese knockoff cell phones. There are three hundred vendors in each floor. There are some vendors selling cell phones for farmers and there are some vendors selling the cell phones which exactly look like iPhone. You can get it with only NT 5000 dollars to get a mimic iPhone. Every store owners are trying to meet customers’ needs. Those stores are just like ants, when they gather together. It will be become a strong power.
According Toupu Research Institute estimate that China have at the size of 230 millions market. There are only half of them occupied by int’l brands, and the rest of them are occupied by local brands (about 50 millions). Mediatek is the IC design company from Taiwan. In 2008, they already have about the size 230 of Chinese market. There are only half occupied by int’l brands, the rest are separately occupied the knockoff market (80 millions) and Chinese brands (50 millions). Mediatek has over 80 percents in the ration of sale amounts, and shipped over 100 millions cell phones which is already consumed forty percent in China market.
So literally to say, in china there are four cell phones’ chips of every ten cell phones are from Mediatek design. Depending on the support from China market, Mediatek from nobody to the 5th big IC design company in the world.

Swine Flu Facts
by Janet Wednesday, April 29, 2009
In the past weeks, this infectious and epidemic disease spreading from Mexico to the other countries in the world. Since the first death outside Mexico is in the U.S. Many people still have confusions and doubts about Swine flu. So here we will list the questions that people ask about the most to help them to distinguish what the factors sprang the swine flu.
Q: How safe is eating pork?
A: As safe as it ever was.
When you deal and consume animil products, for instance pork, can carry some viruses. But this is not how swine flu is spreading,said Christine Layton, a public health policy analyst with the North Carolina-based nonprofit research institute RTI International.
Swine flu is a respiratory virus,spread from one person to another.In other words: A sneezing chef is a threat, not the spare ribs he’s basting.
As a matter of fact, if the swine flu were mainly being transmitted from pigs to people, public health officials probably wouldn’t be so worried. that kind of transmission leans to limit a virus’s humena spread to farmers and meat workers like butcher—people who are likely come into touch with animal’s bodily fluids.
Q. Can those face masks really protect me from swine flu?
A. Yes and no.
The blue surgical masks you’ve seen being given out to Mexican pedestrians are better than nothing but probably only minimally useful, said Andrew Pekosz, associate professor of microbiology and immunology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, Maryland.
When the mask block the large, virus-carrying droplets sneezed out by contagious people, the viruses are much smaller and could easily pass through. Specially masks, designed by N-95 or N-99, are better filters but they are still imperfect.
For better protection, Pekosz suggests combining a mask with regular hand washing and keeping 3 to 4 feet (90 to 120 centimeters) away from other people.
Q. Is this just another media health scare? How worried should we be?
A. The truth lies somewhere in between panic and eye-rolling.
Making the jump from animal-to-person to person-to-person transmission is a extraordinary skill for a flu virus to “learn.” This ability makes H1N1 swine flu potentially dangerous—and makes the concern a bit different from the worries over bird flu which has not to make such a transition yet.
Human-to human transmission is a big part of why public health officials are putting resources into swine flu and why they want you to be aware of the virus.
Even though,the expert like John Hopskins’s Pekosz and RTI’s Layton say there’s no reason to confine yourself in the house.
At present, no one is sure why that is. and while the severity of the symptoms could increase more, Pekosz said there’s not really an immediate, severe threat to indivisual within the United States.
“However, it definitely deserves the public paying attention, and it guarantee the public health efforts that have been going on in terms of observing and research.” he said.
Q. How does a pig-bird-human mash-up swine flu virus happen, anyway?
A. Blame the pigs, and the virus.
Flu viruses are “very messy reproducers,” RTI’s Layton said.
All eight flu genes reproduce indivisually. If a cell is contacted with three different flu viruses, reproduction can mean a rearrange of genetic material from multiple parents, thrown together randomly into the “baby” flu virus.
Mostly, those cut-and-paste viruses don’t turn out very well, Johns Hopkins’s Pekosz said. This natural reassortment will come up with a new flu virus that has some kind of advantage over its competitors.
H1N1 swine flu is one of those, but we’ve certainly seen others in the past 30 years, he said. Pigs are part of the problem because they can become infected with flu viruses from birds and humans.
