When families gather for Christmas dinner, some will stick to formal traditions dating back to Grandma's generation. Their tables will be set with the good dishes and silver, and the dress code will be Sunday-best.
But in many other homes, this china-and-silver elegance has given way to a stoneware ( 粗陶) -and-stainless informality, with dresses assuming an equally casual-Friday look. For hosts and guests, the change means greater simplicity and comfort. For makers of fine china in Britain, it
spells economic hard times. Air jordan men shoes
Last week Royal Doulton, the largest employer in Stoke-on-Trent, announced that it is eliminating 1,000jobs -- one-fifth of its total workforce. That brings to more than 4,000 the number of positions lost in 18 months in the pottery (陶瓷) region. Wedgwood and other pottery factories made cuts earlier.
Although a strong pound and weak markets in Asia play a role in the downsizing, the layoffs in Stoke have their roots in earthshaking social shifts. A spokesman for Royal Doulton admitted that the company "has been somewhat slow in catching up with the trend" toward casual dining. Families eat together less often, he explained, and more people eat alone, either because they are single or they eat in front of television;
Even dinner parties, if they happen at all, have gone casual. In a time of long work hours and demanding family schedules, busy hosts insist, rightly, that it's better to share a takeout pizza on paper plates in the family room than to wait for the perfect moment or a "real" dinner party. Too often, the perfect moment never comes. Iron a fine-patterned tablecloth? Forget it. Polish the silver? Who has time?
Yet the loss of formality has its down side. The fine points of etiquette ( 礼节 ) that children might once have learned at the table by observation or instruction from parents and grandparents ("Chew with your mouth closed." "Keep your elbows off the table.") must be picked up elsewhere. Some companies now offer etiquette seminars for employees who may be competent professionally but clueless socially.

houses are designed to be smart

Some houses are designed to be smart. Others have smart designs. An example of the second type of house won an Award of Excellence from the American Institute of Architects.
Located on the shore of Sullivan's Island off the coast of South Carolina, the award-winning cube-shaped beach house was built to replace one smashed to pieces by Hurricane ( 飓风 ) Hugo 10 years ago. In September 1989, Hugo struck South Carolina, killing 18 people and damaging or destroying 36,000 homes in the state.
Before Hugo, many new houses built along South Carolina's shoreline were poorly constructed, and enforcement of building codes wasn't strict, according to architect Ray Huff, who created the cleverly-designed beach house. In Hugo's wake, all new shoreline houses are required to meet stricter, better-enforced codes. The new beach house on Sullivan's Island should be able to withstand a Category 3 hurricane with peak winds of 179 to 209 kilometers per hour. Accessories
At first sight, the house on Sullivan's Island looks anything but hurricane-proof. Its redwood shell makes it resemble "a large party lantern ( 灯笼 )" at night, according to one observer. But looks can be deceiving. The house's wooden frame is reinforced with long steel rods to give it extra strength.
To further protect the house from hurricane damage, Huff raised it 2.7 meters off the ground on timber pilings -- long, slender columns of wood anchored deep in the sand. Pilings might appear insecure, but they are strong enough to support the weight of the house. They also elevate the house above storm surges. The pilings allow the surges to run under the house instead of running into it. "These swells of water come ashore at tremendous speeds and cause most of the damage done to beach-front buildings," said Huff.
Huff designed the timber pilings to be partially concealed by the house's ground-to-roof shell. "The shell masks the pilings so that the house doesn't look like it's standing with its pant legs pulled up," said Huff. In the event of a storm surge, the shell should break apart and let the waves rush under the house, the architect explained.

blue whale
It is hard to track the blue whale the ocean’s largest creature which has almost been killed off by commercial whaling and is now listed as an endangered species. Attaching radio devices to it is difficultPatek Philippe
and visual sightings are too unreliable to give real insight into its behavior.
So biologists were delighted early this year when with the help of the Navy they were able to track a particular blue whale for 43 days monitoring its sounds. This was possible because of the Navy’s formerly top-secret system of underwater listening devices spanning the oceans. Puma women shoes
Tracking whales is but one example of an exciting new world just opening to civilian scientists after the cold war as the Navy starts to share and partly uncover its global network of underwater listening system built over the decades to track the ships of potential enemies.
Earth scientists announced at a news conference recently that they had used the system for closely monitoring a deep-sea volcanic eruption (爆发) for the first time and that they plan similar studies. Other scientists have proposed to use the network for tracking ocean currents and measuring changes in ocean and global temperatures. The speed of sound in water is roughly one mile a second-slower than through land but faster than through air. What is most important different layers of ocean water can act as channels for sounds focusing them in the same way a stethoscope (听诊器) does when it carries faint noises from a patient’s chest to a doctor’s ear. This focusing is the main reason that even relatively weak sounds in the ocean especially low-frequency ones can often travel thousands of miles.

aerobic exercise
Patek Philippe
The fitness movement that began in the late 1960s and early 1970s centered around aerobic exercise (有氧操). Millions of individuals became engaged in a variety of aerobic activities and literally thousands of health spas developed around the country to capitalize (获利) on this emerging interest in fitness particularly aerobic dancing for females. A number of fitness spas existed prior to this aerobic fitness movement even a national chain with spas in most major cities. However their focus was not on aerobics but rather on weight-training programs designed to develop muscular massAir jordan men shoes
strength and endurance in their primarily male enthusiasts. These fitness spas did not seem to benefit financially from the aerobic fitness movement to better health since medical opinion suggested that weight-training programs offered few if any health benefits. In recent years however weight training has again become increasingly popular for males and for females. Many current programs focus not only on developing muscular strength and endurance but on aerobic fitness as well.
Historically most physical-fitness tests have usually included measures of muscular strength and endurance not for health-related reasons but primarily because such fitness components have been related to performance in athletics. However in recent years evidence has shown that training programs designed primarily to improve muscular strength and endurance might also offer some health benefits as well. The American College of Sports Medicine now recommends that weight training be part of a total fitness program for healthy Americans. Increased participation in such training is one of the specific physical activity and fitness objectives of Healthy People 2000 National Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Objectives.

tailor bird
Did you know that there’s a kind of bird that can sew﹖ This called the tailor bird uses
its mouth as a needle. It sews leaves together in the shape of a cup then it adds a layer
of straw to the inside of the cup and lays its eggs there. Each bird species builds its own
special kind of nest. The most common materials used for nests are grasses branches and
feathers. A bird must weave these materials into a nest. Just imagine building a house
without cement or nails to hold togetherDust Women Coat
Another bird is called the weaver bird. The weaver bird builds a nest that looks like a
basket the nest shaped like a pear with a hole in the middle. The hole is the door of the
nest. A third bird is called the oven bird. The oven bird makes a nest that is very solid.
The nest is made of mud. The oven bird forms the mud into the shape of an oven and then let
it dry in the sun. The sun bakes the mud making it very hard. Not all birds make their homes
in branches. Some birds build their nests on the ground while others bury their eggs under
the ground. And some birds do not build nests at all. So when you look for nests and eggs in
branches of the trees and bushes remember that some nests may be right your feet. Audemars Piguet

tree rings
You can tell the age of a tree by counting its ringsA. Lange & Sohne
but these records of trees’ life
really say a lot more. Scientists are using tree rings to learn what’s being happening on
the sun’s surface for the last ten thousand years. Each ring represents a year of growth.
As the tree grows it adds a layer to its trunk taking up chemical elements from the air.
By looking up the elements in the rings for a given year scientists can tell what elements
were in the air that year. Doctors Stevenson is analysing one element——carbon-14 in ring
from both living and dead trees. Some of the rings go back almost ten thousand years to the
end of the Ice Age. When Stevenson followed the carbon-14 trail back in time he found
carbon-4 levels change with the intensity of solar burning. You see the sun has cycles.
Sometimes it burns fiercely and other times it’s relatively calm. During the sun’s violent
periods it throws off charged particles in fast moving strings called solar winds. The
particles interfere with the formation of carbon-14 on earth. When there’s more solar wind
activity less carbon-14 is produced. Ten thousand years of tree rings show that the
carbon-14 level rises and falls about every 420 years. The scientists concluded that the
solar wind activity must follow the same cycleDust Women Coat

show business
Henry Ford, the famous U.S. inventor and car manufacturer, once said, "The business of America is business." By this he meant that the U.S. way of life is based on the values of the business world.
Few would argue with Ford's statement. A brief glimpse at a daily newspaper vividly shows how much people in the United States think about business. For example, nearly every newspaper has a business section, in which the deals and projects, finances and management, stock prices and labor problems of corporations are reported daily. In addition, business news can appear in every other section. Most national news has an important financial aspect to it. Welfare, foreign aid, the federal budget, and the policies of the Federal Reserve Bank are all heavily affected by business. Moreover, business news appears in some of the unlikeliest places. ThTag Heuer
e world of arts and entertainment is often referred to as "the entertainment industry" or "show business."
The positive side of Henry Ford's statement can be seen in the prosperity that business has brought to U.S. life. One of the most important reasons so many people from all over the world come to live in the United States is the dream of a better job. Jobs are produced in abundance (大量地) because the U.S. economic system is driven by competition. People believe that this system crates more wealth, more jobs, and a materially better way of life.
The negative side of Henry Ford's statement, however, can be seen when the word business is taken to mean big business. And the term big business -- referring to the biggest companies, is seen in opposition to labor. Throughout U.S. history working people have had to fight hard for higher wages, better working conditions, and the fight to form unions. Today, many of the old labor disputes are over, but there is still some employee anxiety. Downsizing ---- the laying off of thousands of workers to keep expenses low and profits high -- creates feelings of insecurity for many.

Everyday is A Gift
My brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sister's bureau and lifted out a tissue-
wrapped package. "This", he said, "is not a slip. This is lingerie." He discarded the tissue
and handed me the slip.
It was exquisite, silk, handmade and trimmed with a cobweb of lace. The price tag with an
astronomical figure on it was still attached.
"Jan bought this the first time we went to New York, at least 8 or 9 years ago. She never
wore it. She was saving it for a special occasion.
Well, I guess this is the occasion
He took the slip from me and put it on the bed, with the other clothes we were taking to the
mortician. His hands lingered on the soft material for a moment, then he slammed the drawer
shut and turned to me, "Don't ever save anything for a special occasion. Every day you' re
alive is a special occasion."
I remembered those words through the funeral and the days that followed when I helped him
and my niece attend to all the sad chores that follow an unexpected death. I thought about
them on the plane returning to California from the midwestern town where my sister's family
lives. I thought about all the things that she hadn't seen or heard or done. I thought about
the things that she had done without realizing that they were special.
I'm still thinking about his words, and they've changed the weeds in the garden. I'm
spending more time with my family and friends and less time in committee meetings. Whenever
possible, life should be a pattern of experience to savour, not endure. I'm trying to
recognize these moment now and cherish them.
I'm not "saving" anything; we use our good china and crystal for every special. Event such
as losing a pound, getting the sink unstopped, the first camellia blossom… I wear my good
blazer to the market if I feel like it. My theory is if I look prosperous, I can shell out
$28. 49 for one small bag of groceries without wincing. I'm not saving my good perfume for
special parties; clerks in hardware stores and tellers in banks have noses that function as
well as my party going friends.
"Someday" and "one of these days" are losing their grip on my vocabulary. If it's worth
seeing or hearing or doing, I want to see and hear and do it now. I' m not sure what my
sister would've done had she know that she wouldn't be here for the tomorrow we all take for
granted.
I think she would have called family members and a few close friends. She might have called
a few former friends to apologize, and mend fences for past squabbles. I like to think she
would have gone out for a Chinese dinner, her favorite food. I'm guessing. I'll never
knowIt's those little things left undone that would make me angry if I knew that my hours
were limited. Angry because I put off seeing good friends whom I was going to get in touch
with someday. Angry because I hadn't written certain letters that I intended to write one of
these days. Angry and sorry that I didn't tell my husband and daughter often enough how much
I truly love them.
I'm trying very hard not to put off, hold back, or save anything that would add laughter and
luster to our lives. And every morning when I open my eyes, I tell myself that every day,
every minute, every breath truly, is... a gift from God.

Sport is not only physically challenging, but it can also be mentally challenging.
Criticism from coaches, parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create
an excessive amount of anxiety or stress for young athletes.Stress can be physical,
emotional, or psychological and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout. Burnout
has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.The
early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting
is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how
to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used
throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their
feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents
’ and coaches’ criticisms to heart and find a flaw in themselves.Coaches and
parents should also be cautious that youth sport participation does not become work for
children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning
the sport and other life lessons. In today’s youth sport setting. Young athletes may be
worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a
game many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find fault with youngsters’
performances. Positive reinforcement should be provided regardless of the outcome. Research
indicates that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than
criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, Which can lead to burnout.Suit Cartier
