Do you know the tomato is the world's most popular fruit
 Notes:
 
The tomato is the world's most popular fruit. And yes, just like the brinjal and the pumpkin, botanically speaking it is a fruit, not a vegetable. More than 60 million tons of tomatoes are produced per year, 16 million tons more than the second most popular fruit, the banana. Apples are the third most popular (36 million tons), then oranges (34 million tons) and watermelons (22 million tons).

Tomatoes were first cultivated in 700 AD by Aztecs and Incas. Explorers returning from Mexico introduced the tomato into Europe, where it was first mentioned in 1556. The French called it "the apple of love," the Germans "the apple of paradise."

Tomatoes are rich in vitamins A and C and fibre , and are cholesterol free. An average size tomato (148 gram, or 5 oz) boasts only 35 calories. Furthermore, new medical research suggests that the consumption of lycopene - the stuff that makes tomatoes red - may prevent cancer. Lycopene is part of the family of pigments called carotenoids, which are natural compounds that create the colours of fruits and vegetables. For example, beta carotene is the orange pigment in carrots. As with essential amino acids, they are not produced by the human body. Lycopene is the most powerful antioxidant in the carotenoid family and, with vitamins C and E, protect us from the free radicals that degrade many parts of the body.

The scientific term for the common tomato is lycopersicon lycopersicum, which mean "wolf peach." It is a cousin of the eggplant, red pepper, ground cherry, potato, and the highly toxic belladonna, also known as the nightshade or solanaccae. There are more than 10,000 varieties of tomatoes.

Tomatoes are used in many food product, including, of course, tomato sauce (ketchup), pasta and pizza. According to a Steel Packing Council survey of 1997, 68% of chefs use canned tomatoes for convenience, quality and flavouring.

In the north of China, there lies a 6,700-kilometer-long (4,161-mile-long) ancient wall. Now well-known as the Great Wall of China, it starts at the Jiayuguan Pass of Gansu Province in the west and ends at the Shanhaiguan Pass of Hebei Province in the east. As one of the Eight Wonders in the world, the Great Wall of China has become the symbol of the Chinese nation and its culture.

Lots of beautiful legends and stories about the Great Wall took place following along the construction, and since that time these stories have spread around the country. Those that happened during construction are abundant, such as Meng Jiangnu's story and the legend of the Jiayuguan Pass. Meng Jiangnu's story is the most famous and widely spread of all the legends about the Great Wall. The story happened during the Qin Dynasty (221BC-206BC). It tells of how Meng Jiangnu's bitter weeping made a section of the Great Wall collapse. Meng Jiangnu's husband Fan Qiliang was caught by federal officials and sent to build the Great Wall. Meng Jiangnu heard nothing from him after his departure, so she set out to look for him. Unfortunately, by the time she reached the great wall, she discovered that her husband had already died. Hearing the bad news, she cried her heart out. Her howl caused the collapse of a part of the Great Wall. This story indicates that the Great Wall is the production of tens of thousands of Chinese commoners.

Another legend about the Jiayuguan Pass tells of a workman named Yi Kaizhan in the Ming Dynasty (1368BC-1644BC) who was proficient in arithmetic. He calculated that it would need 99,999 bricks to build the Jiayuguan Pass. The supervisor did not believe him and said if they miscalculated by even one brick, then all the workmen would be punished to do hard work for three years. After the completion of the project, one brick was left behind the Xiwong city gate. The supervisor was happy at the sight of the brick and ready to punish them. However Yi Kaizhan said with deliberation that the brick was put there by a supernatural being to fix the wall. A tiny move would cause the collapse of the wall. Therefore the brick was kept there and never moved. It can still be found there today on the tower of the Jiayuguan Pass.

In addition to the above-mentioned stories about the construction of the Great Wall, there are also plenty of stories about current scenic spots. A famous one is the legend of the Beacon Tower. This story happened during the Western Zhou Dynasty (11th century BC-711 BC). King You had a queen named Bao Si, who was very pretty. King You liked her very much, however Bao Si never smiled. An official gave a suggestion that setting the beacon tower on fire would frighten the King's subjects, and might make the queen smile. King You liked the idea. The subjects were fooled and Bao Si smiled at the sight of the chaos. Later enemies invaded Western Zhou, King You set the beacon tower on fire to ask for help. No subjects came to help because they had been fooled once before. Thus, King Zhou was killed by the enemy and Western Zhou came to an end.

Beautiful stories and legends about the Great Wall help to keep alive Chinese history and culture. In each dynasty after the building of the Great Wall, many more stories were created and spread.

For those under age 45 or so, November 22 is probably just another day.

对于那些45岁以下的人来说，11月22日也许就是个平凡的日子。

On November 22, 1963, when he was hardly past his first thousand days in office, John Fitzgerald Kennedy was killed by an assassin's bullets as his motorcade wound through Dallas, Texas. Kennedy was the youngest man elected President; he was the youngest to die.

1963年11月22日，此时他刚刚度过了在白宫的1000个日子，约翰.肯尼迪在得克萨斯州达拉斯市遭遇了刺客的子弹。肯尼迪是美国最年轻的总统，也是死的最早的总统。

His Inaugural Address offered the memorable injunction: "Ask not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country." As President, he set out to redeem his campaign pledge to get America moving again. His economic programs launched the country on its longest sustained expansion since World War II.

他就职演说中的一句训谕给人以很深的印象：“不要问你们的国家能为你们做些什么，而要问你们能为你们的国家做些什么。”身为总统，他遵循自己的竞选誓言，让美国重新恢复了活力。他的经济政策使国家开始从二战以来的持续经济增长。

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) John F. Kennedy was a war hero, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, a U.S. senator for most of the 1950s. in November 1960, at the age of 43, John F. he became the
youngest man ever elected president of the United States. on Nov. 22, 1963, Kennedy was shot to death in Dallas, Tex., the fourth United States president to die by an assassin's bullet.

约翰·肯尼迪是一位战争英雄，普利策奖获得者，五十年代大部分时间里的参议员。1960年的11月，年仅43岁的他成为美国历史选择产生的最年轻的总统。1963年11月22日他在德克萨斯州的达拉斯遇刺身亡，是美国历史上第四位死于暗杀者的子弹的总统。

     故事从一位职业医生Jack的视角展开，一架客机坠落在太平洋的一个孤岛上，48名乘客侥幸生还。得不到好的医疗，Jack只能用最简陋的办法将奄奄一息的人们一个个救活。在为生存而抗争的过程中，Jack成了英雄。

    Out of the blackness, the first thing Jack (Matthew Fox, Party of Five) senses is pain. Then burning sun. A Bamboo forest. Smoke. Screams. With a rush comes the horrible awareness that the plane he was on tore apart in mid-air and crashed on a Pacific island. From there it's a blur, as his doctor's instinct kicks in: people need his help.

    睁开双眼，Jack的第一个感觉就是疼痛。然后陆续是灼热的阳光、竹林、浓烟、尖叫……突然意识到，飞机在空中已经被撕裂，并且坠毁在这个太平洋的小岛上。从那以后的事就不记得了，但一个医生的直觉告诉他：人们需要他的帮助。

    The band of friends, family, enemies and strangers must work together against the cruel weather and harsh terrain if they want to stay alive. But the island holds many secrets, including the intense howls of the mysterious creatures stalking the jungle, which fill them all with fear. Fortunately, thanks to the calm leadership of quick-thinking Jack and level-headed Kate, they have hope. But even heroes have secrets, as the survivors will come to learn.  Mouse Pad  Eye Protect Screen  Sanitary ware  shower house  shower cabin  massage bathtub  bathroom cabinet  kitchen cabinets  Bathtub  Shower enclosure  shower panel   metal parts processing  injection processing  product assembling  plastic mould for air conditioner  plastic mould for TV set  1.56 Hard Resin Lens  1.499 Hard Resin Lens  Optical lens  Polarized Resin lens  SPORT plate car emblem TUNING chrome emblem 1.5 GL CHROME EMBLEM 1.5 CL plate emblem HARRIER PLATE EMBLEM new item plate car emblem Universal Carbon fiber GT Spoiler Universal Carbon Fiber GT-2 Spoiler

New York is a city that never sleeps.
New York is a city that people easily fall in love with.
New York is a city of disillusionment[幻灭] and contention[竞争].
New York is a city of many neighborhoods and cultures waiting to be explored.
New York is a city unlike any other...

      This picture was taken on my way to cover the Mermaid Day Parade, a procession of mermaids, magicians, street entertainers, and performance artists held every June in Coney Island to herald the summer solstice. I caught this scene with the blow-up legs coming out of the vintage car a few blocks from the starting point of the parade and somehow knew it was going to be another interesting day in New York!
       New York is a city of extremes, of hyperbole. ... In the case of this image, I wanted to represent New York in a tongue-in-cheek, fanciful way. As a city known for entertainment and sports, these seemed to be just the right icons. The Rockettes are a quintessential New York symbol, and here they are surrounding a big, bulky ice hockey star [Mike Richter of the New York Rangers] with Central Park as the perfect backdrop. Juxtapositions like this unfold naturally here.
      On St. Patrick's Day, everyone is Irish, as the saying goes. In New York, it's no surprise to find bagpipers from Tokyo marching in the annual parade.
       Wollman Skating Rink in Central Park provides a striking view of New York's skyscrapers. The 843-acre (341-hectare) park is a natural gem tucked inside Manhattan's concrete jungle. Besides ice-skating, New York's residents and visitors can bike, jog, ride horses, picnic, and attend free outdoor concerts—weather permitting.  Nike air shox TL4  Nike Garnett  Nike James III  nike james lebron  Nike Shoes  nine west handbag  Over Grips  paul smith  prada  Prada Dress shirts  prada handbag  Prada Jackets  Prada Shoes  Prada Sweaters  Prada T-shirts  PSP accessories  quilted handbag  Rackets  Racquet Tennis  Ralph Lauren Polo  The North Face tods handbag Tommy Tommy T-shirts
