Scientists in Britain close to cracking chicken-egg puzzle
A file photo of a chicken and an egg. What came first, the chicken or the egg? Scientists in Britain think it was probably the chicken.
What came first, the chicken or the egg? Scientists in Britain think it was probably the chicken, after using new computer technology to try and crack the age-old riddle.
Researchers at the Universities of Sheffield and Warwick, in northern and central England, say the secret lies in the eggshell -- specifically the vital role played by a chicken protein in forming it.
Scientists already knew that the protein, ovocledidin-17 (OC-17), plays a part in eggshell formation, but the new technology allowed the team to demonstrate exactly how the protein makes it happen.
In a computer simulation, the OC-17 protein acted as a catalyst to kickstart the formation of crystals that make up an eggshell by clamping itself on to calcium carbonate particles.
The OC-17 protein then dropped off when the crystal nucleus was large enough to grow on its own, freeing up the protein to start the process again.
Eggshells are created when this happens many times over within a short period of time.
"Understanding how chickens make eggshells is fascinating in itself but can also give clues towards designing new materials and processes," said Professor John Harding from Sheffield University, one of the authors of the research.
"Nature has found innovative solutions that work for all kinds of problems in materials science and technology -- we can learn a lot from them," he added.

究竟是鸡生蛋，还是蛋生鸡？英国科学家在应用最新电脑技术尝试破解这一古老谜题后宣称，很有可能是先有鸡后有蛋。
位于英格兰北部谢菲尔德大学和中部华威大学的研究人员称，这一秘密源自蛋壳---特别是鸡体内的一种蛋白质在形成蛋壳的过程中扮演着关键的角色。
科学家之前已发现这种名为OC-17的蛋白质与蛋壳形成有关，但新技术使研究小组可以精确展示这种蛋白质如何促进了蛋壳的形成。
在计算机模拟中，蛋白质OC-17类似于一种催化剂，通过作用于碳酸钙，促进了构成蛋壳的晶体的形成。
在晶核足够大，可以自行生长之后，蛋白质OC-17就逐渐消退了，之后便可以投身于下一次的转化过程。
当这一过程在短时间内多次重复之后，蛋壳就形成了。
研究报告的作者之一、谢菲尔德大学的约翰•哈丁教授说：“弄清楚鸡蛋壳是如何长出的非常有趣，而且还有助于研发新材料和新工艺。”
他补充说：“大自然为材料科技的所有难题都准备好了创新性的解决办法，我们从中可以学到很多。”

This topic makes nonsense

First egg, then chicken. That’s it.
It’ll totally freak me out if the chicken came first, you know, how weird it would be…aw….can you guys imagine that? C’mon, chicken is a little tiny fluffy thing that with eyes, ears, wings and legs, I really don’t think it could just come this way, I mean without an egg. However, it’s ok to an egg, how difficult do you think it could be to creat a round thing like that, huh….
That’s it, that’s it, that’s it……..

“七年之痒”容易过 “十二年之痒”是难关
Forget the seven-year itch, the real test comes at TWELVE years
Seven-years has traditionally been the time when love and affection give way to disillusion and disappointment.
But couples who manage to survive the seven-year itch would be wise not to get complacent.
The biggest threat to modern marriages actually comes from the 12-year itch, research has revealed.
The majority of couples who divorce have now spent more than a decade together before going their separate ways.
And they are increasingly likely to cite 'growing apart' or 'falling out of love' as the cause of their split.
There has been a four-fold increase in couples breaking up for these reasons in the last two years, amid increasing financial strain on families.
But infidelity is still responsible for more than a quarter of divorces. The seven-year itch - or the theory that adultery becomes impossible to resist after seven years - got its name from the 1950s film starring Marilyn Monroe.
The study by the Grant Thornton accountancy group, which was based on a survey of 90 of the country's biggest family law firms, echoed figures released last year which showed that marriages are most likely to fall apart around the 12-year mark.
Sally Longworth, of Grant Thornton's Forensic and Investigation Services, said: 'This rather dispels the age-old myth about marriages failing after seven years.
'It is impossible to put any scientific reasoning on why certain marriages succeed and others fail.'

传统观点认为，“七年”是婚姻的一个坎，结婚到了这个年头，爱情渐渐变淡，取而代之的是幻想的破灭和失望。
但成功度过“七年之痒”的夫妇不要沾沾自喜。
一项研究表明，现代婚姻的最大威胁其实是十二年之痒。
现在很多人都是在结婚十几年后分道扬镳。
而至于离婚的原因，越来越多的人说是因为两人的感情“渐渐疏远”或“不再相爱”。
随着家庭经济压力的增大，在过去两年中因为这些原因分手的夫妇的数量增加了四倍。
然而，仍有四分之一的夫妇因为伴侣不忠而离婚。“七年之痒”的说法源于20世纪50年代玛丽莲•梦露主演的一部电影，描述夫妻在结婚七年后开始禁不住外面的诱惑。
这项由英国格兰特·桑顿会计事务所开展的研究基于对英国规模最大的90家家庭律师事务所开展的一项调查，调查结果与去年的差不多，发现婚姻到了十二个年头最容易出问题。
格兰特·桑顿会计事务所法庭和调查服务部的萨莉•朗沃斯说：“这在一定程度上打破了多年来有关七年之痒的‘魔咒’。”
“要从科学上解释婚姻的成功与失败是不可能的。”

没有，

再说了 就现在这个标题而言 也不是标题党 因为内容跟标题是吻合的。

At least there is a marriage.
I don’t even think to have a BF at this age, uh…I am not getting younger any more, and what’s my problem!!!
It has nothing to do with marriage actually, marriage itself is pretty simple, and it never change. However, people change. I don’t know since when people just don’t get satisfied so easily, and since when we are so damn inspiring to pursue the happiness which seems we can never have.
I am not saying people who got divorced are out of mind or insane or something, in fact, I am totally understand, because that’s marriage, that’s a couple we are talking about, if we can’t get along with each other anymore, if we can’t make each other happy anymore, then why the hell do we still live together? Everything just makes no sense.
No matter when there is a marriage going to an end, woman will be the one to comfort, everybody just say you have kids, you are a woman, you’ll never find so good a man like him. Ask them all go to hell. We don’t have much time on this earth, you just think it over and make the decision yourself. To go or to stay, it’s your call, and the most important of all, it’s your life.
It’s your life!!! I hope everyone can remember this, it’s your life, no one NEVER EVER care about you more than yourself, if you do think so, then you’d better wake up or you’ll be so hurt one day.

Not woman, just girl.
Woman is physically weaker than man, but we are mentally as strong as man. Therefore we ask for equal right and position in marriage.Anyhow, it's an equal war between man and woman.

天气酷热 德主管劝员工别上班
Too hot to work? No sweat, go home, says German official
Young boys cool off in a public fountain in Munich July 13, 2010.
Germany wilts in sweltering temperatures, a manager in a Berlin government office told his 260 sweating workers to go home,
a newspaper reported Friday, undermining Germans' reputation for efficiency.[Agencies]
As Germany wilts in sweltering temperatures, a manager in a Berlin government office told his 260 sweating workers to go home, a newspaper reported Friday, undermining Germans' reputation for efficiency.
According to the BZ local tabloid, the boss of the Berlin office for tax evasion investigations sent an email to his employees saying: "Everyone should decide for themselves if they feel up to working in these temperatures."
"This decision should be taken before you pass out ... taking time off work today could in many cases be a wise decision which would have my full understanding," wrote Erik Schliephake in the email printed by BZ.
"With greetings bathed in sweat," the boss signed off the note.
The BZ carried the story on its front page with the headline: "Whoever sweats gets to go home."
Berliners have been baking in a seemingly relentless heatwave in recent weeks, with the mercury frequently soaring into the high 30s Celsius (high 90s Fahrenheit) and July on course to be the hottest on record.

wilt: to become weak or tired（变得委靡不振；发蔫；变得又累又乏）
sweltering: 闷热的
tabloid: a newspaper with small pages (usually half the size of those in larger papers).Tabloids usually have short articles and a lot of pictures and stories about famous people, and are thought of as less serious than other newspapers. （小报，通俗小报，版面通常比大报小一半，文章短，图片多，经常报道名人佚事）
feel up to: 觉得有精力（做某事）；感到有能力（处理某事）
pass out: to lose consciousness（昏迷；失去知觉）
sign off: to end a letter（结束写信）

这段时间德国的天气酷热难耐，据当地一家报纸上周五报道，首都柏林某政府部门的领导让属下的260名员工都放假回家凉快去，这可与德国人讲究效率的名声背道而驰。
据柏林当地小报BZ报道，柏林逃税调查局的主管给该部门的所有职员发了一封邮件，称：“大家自行决定自己能否在这样的高温下继续工作。”
这位主管名叫埃里克•施里费克，BZ报刊登了他的电子邮件。他在邮件中写道：“别等到自己热晕了再去请假……今天请假无论从哪方面说都是一个明智的决定，我完全理解。”
这位主管在信件结尾的签名处写道：“附上我浸满汗水的问候。”
BZ报在头版刊登了这则消息，标题是《热了就回家》。
最近几周柏林持续30多度（华氏90度）高温，今年的七月份可能要成为史上最热的七月。

Dunno what god is thinking about! He wants to bake us or something. That’s not funny, NOT funny at all, god ya hear me, to hell with ya!!! ……*&^%$#.....@#%%^......
It’s said that it’ll be hottest year in history, sometimes, I even think it’s hotter than Africa, ohh…my….look at me…..since when I am so black and shine!....ough….awwwww…..
It’s too hot that our company even came up with a policy that the workers can only come and work in the morning, then go home and sleep. That’s it, 5 hours in the morning is the whole working day. Cool…huh….
I am gonna go put my head in the water…see ya.
