| An Artificial Sun
Rising in China Chinese scientists have
successfully tested new generation of the
Artificial Sun (Experimental Advanced
SuperconductingTokamak) using deuterium
atoms yesterday (September 28). It has
reportedly reached a temperature of 100
million degrees Celsius for nearly three
seconds.
The technology has a
potential to provide energy for
commercial uses for billions of years,
which would ultimately ease the tension
caused by the oil shortage, as well as
reduce an overall pollution level
globally.
The reactor is an
improvement over China's first
superconducting Tokamak device built in
partnership with Russia in the early 90s.
Forgot to Learn
the Basics
A three-year old Chinese
toddler in Tianjin is so clever that he
can recite over a hundred ancient poems
of Tang Dynasty, and make a
self-introduction in English. But while
this talented little boy learned how to
be well-versed and multi-lingua, he
forgot to learn how to eat, drink and
pee.
Of course, that wasn’t
an issue when he stayed at home when he
never had a chance to experience hunger
and thirsty – his drinking and meal
times are closely monitored by his
devoted granny. In fact he was so
stuffed, that as soon as he spotted food,
he would ran away, leaving his poor
granny to chase after him. When he was
caught, he would be fed with one spoon of
food, which gave him energy to run away
again and the granny had to resume her
pursuit. It is a daily farce in the
family and each mealtime would last for
an hour. And the same goes with the drink
and toilet. No wonder when he’s in the
kindergarten he’s totally lost. - How
come no one chase me around here? What if
I really get hungry, I mean really?
It is reported that in
China little citizens with highly
developed mental abilities and
underdeveloped physical skills are not in
a small number.
