			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fishing is an interesting recreation after the busy work and tired life.  Thus, it is of great significance to learn fishing well. Here, I will  introduce seven steps to fish for you.</p>
<p><strong><em>1. Ready Your  Bait and Hooks.</em></strong> Smaller hooks are generally more effective  in getting fish, and bait that you can find in their habitat more  attractive to your prey. When choosing a hook, inform the tackleshop  owner what fish you wish to catch. This is important because you will  need hooks that will fit inside the fish&#8217;s mouth.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="fishing" src="http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad140/hurricanejie/fishing.jpg" alt="fishing" width="400" height="503" /></p>
<p><em><strong>2. Weights or Bobber?</strong></em> For swift-moving water,  using a weight will help anchor the bait in a static position to attract  the fish. For more still waters, using a bobber, or a floating device,  would be more appropriate.</p>
<p><em><strong>3. Cast the Reel.</strong></em> Casting the reel is simply the act of throwing the line into the water.  Make sure that the reel is not too slack or so long that you cannot  control it. When casting a reel, you can do it like you are casting a  spell, using a powerful flick of your wrist to send the bait out there.</p>
<p><strong><em>4. Wait. </em></strong>It&#8217;s preferable that you be quiet  while waiting, as not to scare the fish away. You should also keep your  fishing rod steady and static.</p>
<p><em><strong>5. Hook the Fish.</strong></em> Getting the feel of whether you&#8217;ve gotten a bite or not can be tricky,  so it&#8217;s best you keep the fishing rod in your hands at all times. When  you&#8217;re sure it&#8217;s a fish, slightly jerk up the fishing rod.</p>
<p><em><strong>6.  Net the Fish.</strong></em> Once the fish is within arm&#8217;s reach,  quickly scoop it out of the water using your net. Fish are often lost by  jumping back into the water in this crucial part of fishing.</p>
<p><em><strong>7. Remove the Hook. </strong></em>Getting injured by fishing  hooks is very dangerous and can expose you to infection, so remove the  hook gently. You can use needle-nosed pliers to help you with this task.  Don&#8217;t tear the hook out of the fish but slowly push it out from the  direction it came from.</p>
<p>Following these seven tips step by step,  and you will find it easy to fish. Now, take your equipment and go  fishing to relax yourself!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My loathings are simple: stupidity, oppression, crime, cruelty, soft music.</p>
<p><strong>No.1 garbage collection</strong>. Most people put the garbage bags on the roadside and hurry home to wash their hands. If we don’t want to walk out with garbage bags in their hands, we could just throw the garbage into the garbage bin and everything will be fine. But the garbage collection personnel could do so. Though it is a really dirty job, dangerous and smelly, a lot of people apply for this job, because the average revenue was up to 43 thousand. In California, the hourly salary was up to 16.04 dollar. In some areas, plus pay for overtime, they can get 60 thousand dollar.</p>
<p><strong>No.2 Gastrointestinal therapy</strong>: Sometimes it&#8217;s very difficult to check yourself, and we are not talking about autocriticism. No matter what we eat, these food will go through a digestive system with a length of 25 feet(7.62 meter) to digest. If it is a digestive problem, we have to only turn to one doctor&#8211;gastroenterologists. Such doctors specially study humans&#8217; digestive process. As to the digestive process, most people wish them not know it at all.</p>
<p><strong>No.3. Mining petroleum</strong>: Said that the oil interests is the prosperous industry possibly only indicates the phenomenon. The modern economy relies on to a great extent the petroleum, moreover oil price rises, you can affirm that the company will spend the large amount of money in this kind of black gold seeking for with mining.But to most of the oil workers, in real life, the exploitation of oil is not very glamorous living.Daily oil production platforms, working, living, both dirty and dangerous.Even if the average oil workers can earn more than 40 thousand dollars in a good salary each year.</p>
<p><strong>No.4.Mobile toilets cleaning</strong>: it is a job that combines both garbage recycling and the work of gastroenterologists, or even more sick than both of the jobs. In modern society, most people avoid the mobile toilet as possible as they can, but sometimes it is helpful. How simple it is, but without the cleaners, it will be extremely dirty. However, the cleaners just smile at them and they can get 50 thousand per year if they keep on working.</p>
<p><strong>No.5. Catching crab</strong>: Referring to fishing, most people will imagine a scene: on the special warm afternoon, father and son were fishing together. While in America, fishing is one of the most dangerous jobs, surprising. But you might think that crab industry is high-risk high return.A few months a year as long as work outside , experienced fishermen will be able to earn 60000 dollars, in fact, depends entirely on the income of each vessel catches.</p>
<p><strong>No.6, sewer inspection</strong>. Rats, cockroaches, dark pipeline and occasionally found bodies, it’s so horrible. We are not talking about the adventure life someday in Indiana Jones Checking sewers has to deal with all the terrible things, even going down bravely deep to the tubes hundreds of miles down the city. Those people with high school certificates can make more than $60,000 annually.</p>
<p><strong>No.7.Coal mining</strong>: the same as garbage collection and fishing, coal mining is one of the world&#8217;s most dangerous jobs. The mine is filled with marsh gas, even the sparkle produced by dropping stone can cause blast. And the mine is not so firm, it will collapse anytime, which leads to death of the miners.<br />
Even covered with black coal, money is still money. Coal mining is an important industry in West Virginia. Average annual salary for a worker there is about $64,000.</p>
<p><strong>No.8.Body anti-corrosion</strong>:most of the culture in the funeral ceremony and a special way to handle the body has its long and ancient tradition, among which is about how to keep the body. Ancient Egyptians mummified the body, and many modern methods is to use preservatives.Corrosion by the body, funeral personnel and mortuary staff in the average annual salary of 4.1 million dollars, and the salary will be increased with experience.</p>
<p><strong>No.9. Fix water pipes.</strong> Nowadays for Americans it is unimaginable to live without interior pipes. Piping systems may be one of the best developments of the society, because they bring enormous comfort and convenience.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lens is the main part for a pair of glasses. If the glasses are produced, the lens can not be changed any more. At the same time, eyes’ health depends on lens and the right ones suitable for eyes will reach the aim of improving eyesight. When choosing the glasses, choosing lens is the first step. Of course, there are many elements influencing the choice, such as the lifestyle, working environment, personality, some functions of lens and so on.</p>
<p><img alt="eyeglass lens" src="http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad140/hurricanejie/eyeglass-lenses.jpg" title="eyeglass lens" class="alignnone" width="432" height="432" /> </p>
<p><strong>The Color of Lens</strong></p>
<p>Students, doctors, artists and drivers should wear glasses with colorless lens. People in these kinds of fields have high demands for color and distance. If wearing colorful glasses, drivers can not control the distance change, which may cause some traffic accidents. As for the doctor, things will be worse. Patients’ lives then will be in danger just because of the improperly colorful lens. Even though colorful lens are in the day and more and more people begin to wear a pair of colorful glasses, colorful lens are not suitable for all myopia people. When choosing lens, you should think twice.</p>
<p><strong>The Shape of Lens</strong></p>
<p>Before deciding the shape of lens, choose the right glasses frame first. Generally speaking, the shape of lens is decided by the shape of the frame needing them. You&#8217;d better choose the frame allowing the lens of proper size. Too little lens are not the wise choice, though they are in vogue nowadays. Meanwhile, glasses with strange shapes of lens are popular with people, especially young people. Well, thanks to some fashionable designs, more classical glasses are produced. But for eyes health, glasses with traditional shape of lens should be considered first. After all, glasses are the tool for eyesight improvement first, besides the function as the ornament.</p>
<p><strong>The Transmittance of Lens</strong></p>
<p>Transmittance is also one of the important elements when choosing lens. To avoid the radiation from computer, lens with anti-radiation films are widely used in glasses. Colorless optical lens and aspheric thin lens also have good transmittance.</p>
<p><strong>The Weight of Lens</strong></p>
<p>The weight of lens has great relation with the material. Then the degree and shape are also relative aspects. The common materials for lens are glass and resin. Generally speaking, lens made from resin is much lighter and the weight is about half of that are made from glass. Compared to glass lens, resin lens has a lot of advantages. The most attractive one is that they are light, which decreases the pressure imposed on the nose and helix. And then its capacity of anti-force is better, several times of that made from glass. When there are some accidents, people with glasses having resin lens are much safer and there is no need to worry about damage for eyes. The cost is lower, too. If there is a model, thousands of lenses can be made and therefore time and cost for production is decreased greatly.</p>
<p><strong>The Hardness of Lens</strong></p>
<p>Lens made from glass are harder than the one made from resin. Resin lens are easy to be damaged, especially the surface. As for the surface, the capacity of anti-fiction and chemical resistance ability is worse. By the way, resin is inclined to absorb more water. Well, the above disadvantages can be overcome by adding platting to the surface.</p>
<p><strong>The Strength of Lens</strong></p>
<p>Resin lens is stronger than glass ones. This is an important reason why resin lenses are more and more used for glasses rather than glass ones. There is always news about people&#8217;s eyes being hurt by broken glass lens. Glasses are so near to eyes and if the lens is not strong enough, eyes are in danger all the time.</p>
<p><strong>The Thickness of Lens</strong></p>
<p>The thickness of lens is influenced by many elements, like material, degree, shape, refraction rate, etc. The higher the degree is, the thicker the lens is. But with the development of new material and producing process, lens are becoming thinner and smaller than before. After all, a pair of thick glasses will affect the appearance, to some extent.</p>
<p><strong>Special Functions of Lens</strong></p>
<p>Some lenses have special functions, such as lens against ultraviolet, ultra-red ray resistance, anti-deformation and so on. Glasses with special usage use such special lens. According to the need, you can choose some kinds of lens.</p>
<p>Do take care of your eyes in daily life. So choose the right lens for them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I want to bring out the secrets of nature and apply them for the happiness of man. I don‘t know of any better service to offer for the short time we are in the world.</p>
<p>1. It&#8217;s right to choose wide platePresently wide floor board is quite popular in the market. Compared with the narrow one, it is more beautiful and decent. The veins are fluent and decorative patterns completed.</p>
<p>2. Carefully choose scale board.The glued boards you choose should be similar in texture and color and have not rotten part.</p>
<p>3. Do not afraid of &#8220;marble&#8221;Many people worry about radioactive contamination of natural marble. In fact, many countries strictly control the classification of natural stone’s radiation.</p>
<p>4.Ceramic tile should be selected high quality not to choose low price.The top grade tile is characterized by hardness, good toughness, and non-frangibility.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="decoration " src="http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad140/hurricanejie/decorating2.jpg" alt="Decoration" width="328" height="328" /></p>
<p>5. Natural stone and man-made stone have their own strengthsThe natural stones are better than synthetic stones in quality, but they give out radiations while the synthetic stones do not.In addition, their price is different, and natural marble is more expensive. In the selection of pattern and color, man-made stone is richer and people can choose according to their preference.</p>
<p>6. Try the wallpaper before buying.The choice of wallpaper is best to try before you buy, because it is hard to see the final effect only from the sample book.Before the decision, you can buy a roll of wallpaper and have a try on the wall at home,so that it is easy to see the effect.</p>
<p>7. The size of tile should be adapted to local conditionsUsing large-format tiles in kitchen, restroom and other small-size room will cause large loss, which is not economic.So the room like kitchen and toilet should adopt the special type handicraft tile which is from 300 to 400 cm square, such as non-skid tile and wear resistant procelain tile.</p>
<p>8. Be cautious about washing curtain.Some curtains should get dry cleaned rather than washed to avoid fabric damage or deformation according to their special material.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you know that people used all kinds of ingenious ways to communicate in the past?</p>
<p>1. Drum Telegraphs</p>
<p>In places where there are forests that make visibility difficult, drum telegraphy was developed as a means of communication. This was introduced by the natives of Africa, New Guinea and tropical America. When scientists on expeditions came to the jungle to explore the forest, the natives would pound on their drums to signal that strangers were approaching.</p>
<p>In ancient China, people used the &#8220;tamtam&#8221; as a communication tool. This was a big, free hanging circular plate of metal. Hitting the plate created a far-reaching sound.</p>
<p>2. Carrier Torch Fire Signals</p>
<p>In ancient Greece and Rome, fire signals were given from mountain to mountain or from tower to tower. The Greek poet Aischylos, a soldier in the fight of Marathon, describes a &#8220;fire post&#8221; in one of his poems. This was probably the first line of sight transmission in the world. It is said that with this system the fall of Troja was reported to Argos.</p>
<p>3. Pigeons</p>
<p>Carrier pigeons, with their navigational abilities, have been used for communication in numerous forms. From 700 BC to 300 AD they were used in the Olympic games. A black check cock carrier pigeon named Cher Ami was awarded the French Croix De Guerre medal for delivering 12 messages in World War 1. His duty included delivering a message that helped the U.S. Army locate its &#8220;Lost Battalion&#8221;. The message was delivered despite the bird being shot by enemy fire.</p>
<p>4. Optical Telegraph</p>
<p>The first optical telegraph was invented during the French Revolution. The chaotic situation made a new communication system necessary. Civilian Claude Chappe, a former priest, invented a mechanical-optical telegraph. It consisted of a column with a moveable crosswise beam. This beam also had two movable arms. With ropes it was possible to show many different signal pictures. The equipment stood on rooftops or towers and was visible from afar.</p>
<p>The first telegraph line of this kind was put into operation in 1794. The telegraph line consisted of 22 stations and covered a distance of over 240 kilometers. It took only two to six minutes to transfer a message, couriers riding horses would have needed 30 hours!</p>
<p>5. Marathon Run</p>
<p>This was one exhausting way of relaying messages between the war front and the palace court during battles. In September 490 BC, a terrible battle was going on at the coast of the Aegean Sea, near the town of Marathon. The small Greek army fought against the stronger Persian army and finally, the Greeks won. The leader of the Greek army sent a courier with the message of victory back to Athens. After the messenger had completed the more than a 10 kilometers long run and reached the streets of Athens, he collapsed with the words, &#8220;Be glad! We are the winners!&#8221; and died on the spot!</p>
