USA looks to create startup visa for international entrepreneurs - Nc M ang trng i
'VISA khi nghip' cho cc doanh nhn trn ton th gii
The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is looking to publish a new rule in order to
accommodate foreign startups. Entitled the International Entrepreneur Rule (IER), this will allow
foreign entrepreneurs to gain easier entry into the country.

Americas economy has long benefitted from the contributions of immigrant entrepreneurs, from

This proposed rule, when finalised, will help our economy grow by expanding immigration options
for foreign entrepreneurs who meet certain criteria for creating jobs, attracting investment and
generating revenue in the US, he continues.

If passed, the DHS will be allowed to allocate the startup visa on a case-by-case basis. The criteria
for the visa will include applicants having at least a 15-percent share in the startup, as well as a
central role in its operations. The startup must also have been founded in the US within the past three
years, as well as demonstrate the potential for growth and job creation.

In order to demonstrate growth, the company should have received at least US$345 000 worth of
investments from qualified US investors, at least US$100 000 in federal grants (state or local
government entities), or show parts of both criteria as well as other compelling evidence.

Upon successful application, applications will be allowed at least a two-year stay in the US in order
to see the operations of the startup. Thereafter a further three years may be granted if the startup

Gold currently trades in Australia at about A$1,600 per ounce, meaning the discovery would be
worth about A$283,200, but its rarity and the fact it weighs more than a kilogram would add a
premium, said Mr Kent.

He told Australian media the prospector had been using a state-of-the-art metal detector, which
meant he was able to find the gold relatively deep underground in an area which had been searched
many times in the past.

The high growth rate of Phuc Long is just one example that shows the strong rise of domestically

Phuc Long, a brand from Bao Loc district of Lam Dong province, appeared in Vietnam in 1957. In

Sc mnh ca n gii - Female Power


Worldwide, its estimated that one out of every three women has been a victim of violence. Also,
women are paid less than men, and they are less likely to hold positions of leadership. Female babies
are even aborted at a higher rate than male babies. This phenomenon is so common in some
countries that it even has a name: femicide.

Yet, in one remote Indian village, women rule the roost. Known as having the cleanest village
around, the Khasi people follow a matriarchal system rather than a patriarchal system. Daughters
inherit their mothers land. Men rarely, if ever, own land. Women hold all of the economic power.
Grandmothers are the heads of household and children take their mothers family names. Daughters
are so prized in the Khasi tradition, that a family of only sons is considered unlucky.

One study even showed that Khasi women are much more likely to be competitive. In most other
places, men are more likely to play competitive sports and compete for jobs and raises, but with the
Khasi people, its the opposite. When given the option, 54% of Khasi women chose to compete,
while only 39% of the Khasi men competed. Khasi women appear to be more confident than men in
their communities.

Neighboring villages are afraid of their men falling in love with Khasi women, because they dont
want them to give up their independence and economic authority. Khasi women say they cant trust
men to handle finances.

According to some Khasi men, its not fair. They say that even their language favors women. When
a noun is something useful (like a tree used for firewood), it becomes feminine. Some Khasi men say
that their tradition makes men feel worthless. Many Khasi men have joined mens liberation groups.
These men have a lot in common with certain women of the late 1800s, who were known as
suffragettes and who fought for a womans right to vote.

it was common in the United States to block African Americans from job opportunities, stores, and
restaurants that were only for white people. They were also banned from many public services and
forced to use lower quality public toilets, hospitals, and even schools. Sitting in the front of a public

Rosa Parks is a famous African American woman who is known as the mother of the Civil Rights
Movement. She started this movement of non-violent resistance by refusing to give up her bus seat
for a white person. Shes still celebrated today for her courage.

The police stormed onto the bus, grabbed both of her wrists, and ripped her from her seat. Her books
went flying to the floor. They kicked her and forced her from the bus and into a police car. They
called her names and threw her in jail.

So, why hasnt history remembered Claudette? She should be just as famous as Rosa Parks, but she
isnt. Thats because Civil Rights leaders thought that Rosa made a better face for the movement.
Rosa was older than Claudette and more reserved. But many say that Rosas lighter skin made her a
more attractive woman to lead the movement. Claudettes skin was darker, and people thought this

made her seem poorer and less trustworthy.

1. Dreaming can help you learn.

If youre studying for a test or trying to learn a new task, you might consider taking a nap or heading
to bed early rather than hovering over a textbook an hour longer. Heres why: When the brain
dreams, it helps you learn and solve problems, say researchers at Harvard Medical School. In a study

LANGMASTER INTERNATIONAL
that appeared in a recent issue of Current Biology, researchers report that dreams are the brains way
of processing, integrating and understanding new information. To improve the quality of your
sleepand your brains ability to learnavoid noise in the bedroom, such as the TV, which may
negatively impact the length and quality of dreams.

2. Just like men, women can have orgasms during dreams.

2. Ging nh nam gii, ph n cng c th t cc khoi trong nhng gic m.

Did you think only men experience this phenomenon? Not true, says Barbara Bartlik, MD, a
psychiatrist and sex therapist in New York. Warning, further reading may produce blushing:
Women have orgasms during their sleep, just as men do, she says. These orgasms often
accompany erotic dreams, but they also may occur during dreams of a nonerotic nature. When
women dream, she says, its not uncommon for their genitals to become engorged and lubricated.
This occurs during REM sleep, which happens several times during the night, she says. A similar
thing happens to men. Men get erections during REM sleep, whether or not the man is having an
erotic dream.

3. The most common dream? Your spouse is cheating.

3. Gic m ph bin nht? V hoc chng la di bn.

If youve ever woken up in a cold sweat after dreaming about your husbands extramarital escapade
with your best friend, youre not alone, says Lauri Quinn Loewenberg, a dream expert, author and
media personality. The most commonly reported dream is the one where your mate is cheating,
she says. Loewenberg conducted a survey of more than 5,000 people, and found that the infidelity

LANGMASTER INTERNATIONAL
dream is the nightmare that haunts most peoplesometimes on a recurring basis. It rarely has
anything to do with an actual affair, she explains, but rather the common and universal fear of being
wronged or left alone.

4. Bn c th c nhiu - thm ch c t - gic m trong mt m.

Its not just one dream per night, but rather dozens of them, say experts - you just may not remember
them all. We dream every 90 minutes throughout the night, with each cycle of dreaming being
longer than the previous, explains Loewenberg. The first dream of the night is about 5 minutes
long and the last dream you have before awakening can be 45 minutes to an hour long. It is
estimated that most people have more than 100,000 dreams in a lifetime.

Have you ever woken up from such a beautiful, perfect dream that you wished you could go back to
sleep to soak it all up (you know, the dream about George Clooney?)? You can! Just lie stilldont
move a muscleand you can remain in a semi-dreamlike state for a few minutes. The best way to
remember your dreams is to simply stay put when you wake up, says Loewenberg. Remain in the
position you woke up in, because that is the position you were dreaming in. When you move your
body, you disconnect yourself from the dream you were just in seconds ago."

While it can be hard to believe that an oddball dream about your mother, a circus and a snowstorm
can have any bearing on real life, there may be symbolism and potential meaning to be mined in
every dreamyou just have to look for it, says Harvard-trained psychotherapist Jeffrey Sumber.
"The meaning of our dreams oftentimes relates to things we are needing to understand about
ourselves and the world around us, he says. Instead of shrugging off strange dreams, think about
how they make you feel. We tend to dismiss these dreams due to the strange components, yet it is
the feeling we have in these dreams that matters most, he explains. Sometimes the circus and the
snowstorm are just fillers that allow us to process the range of emotions we feel about our mother
and give us the necessary distraction so we can actually experience that spectrum of emotion.

7. Recurring dreams may be your minds way of telling you something.

Do you have the same nightmare over and over again? Loewenberg suggests looking for underlying
messages in recurring dreams so that you can rid yourself of them. For example, a common recurring
nightmare people have involves losing or cracking their teeth. For this dream, she recommends that
people think about what your teeth and your mouth represent. To the dreaming mind, your teeth, as
well as any part of your mouth, are symbolic of your words, she says. Paying attention to your
teeth dreams helps you to monitor and improve the way you communicate.

8. You can control your dreams.

8. Bn c th kim sot gic m ca mnh.

The premise of the new movie Inception is that people can take the reins of their dreams and make
them what they want them to be. But it may not just be a Hollywood fantasy. According to the
results of a new survey of 3,000 people, dream control, or lucid dreaming may be a real thing. In
fact, 64.9 percent of participants reported being aware they were dreaming within a dream, and 34
percent said they can sometimes control what happens in their dreams. Taking charge of the content
of your dreams isnt a skill everyone has, but it can be developed, says Kelly Bulkeley, PhD, a
dream researcher and visiting scholar at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkley, California. The
technique is particularly useful for people who suffer from recurring nightmares, he says. Dr.
Bulkeley suggests giving yourself a pep talk of sorts before you go to sleep by saying: If I have that
dream again, Im going to try to remember thats its only a dream, and be aware of that. When you
learn to be aware that you are dreaming - within a dream - you not only have the power to steer
yourself away from the monster and into the arms of Brad Pitt, for instance, but you train your mind
to avoid nightmares in the first place. Lucid dreaming enhances your ability to learn from the dream
state, says Dr. Bulkeley.

9. You dont have to be asleep to dream.

9. Bn chng cn phi ng mi m c.

Turns out, you can dream at your desk at work, in the car, even at your kids soccer game. Wakeful
dreamingnot to be confused with daydreamingis real and somewhat easy to do, says Dr.
Bulkeley; it just involves tapping into your active imagination. The first step is to think about a

LANGMASTER INTERNATIONAL
recent dream you had (preferably a good one!). Find a quiet contemplative place and bring a dream
that you remember back into your waking awareness and let it unfold, he says. Let the dream re-
energize. Wakeful dreaming can be used as a relaxation tool, but Dr. Bulkeley says it can also help
your mind process a puzzling dream. It creates a more fluid interaction between unconscious parts
of the mind and wakeful parts of the mind, he says.

sometimes be greedy and less thoughtful, you have brought happiness into my life. I realized that
you are a really cute girl and blamed myself for never taking the time to know you better. I have

Hackers tn cng facebook, d liu ngi dng khng b xm nhp - Facebook targeted by
hackers, says no user data compromised

The attack comes two weeks after Twitter asked 250,000 of its users to reset their passwords after it
too was hacked. In the same week, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal also reported
being hacked.

Facebook said its systems were targeted last month when a handful of employees visited a mobile
developer website that had been compromised. The website allowed malicious code to be installed
on the employees laptops, Facebook said in a blog post. It said the laptops were fully patched and
running up-to-date antivirus software.

As soon as we discovered the presence of the malware, we remediated all infected machines and
began a significant investigation that continues to this day, Facebook said.

"Ngay khi chng ti pht hin c phn mm c hi, chng ti sa cha tt c cc my b nhim v

The company said it had no evidence that any user data was compromised. It did not say where it
thinks the attack originated or who may have conducted it, and a spokesman reached via email said
the company had no further comment at this time.

The attack was identified when Facebooks security team spotted a suspicious domain in the
companys corporate DNS logs and tracked it back to an employee laptop. After a malicious file was
found on that laptop, the search was expanded companywide and several other compromised
employee laptops were flagged, Facebook said.

After analyzing the compromised website where the attack originated, we found it was using a
zero-day (previously unseen) exploit to bypass the Java sandbox (built-in protections) to install the
malware, Facebook said.

vulnerability. +

The attack was not limited to Facebook. It is clear that others were attacked and infiltrated recently
as well, it said. As one of the first companies targeted by the malware, it said it immediately took
steps to start sharing details about the infiltration with the other companies and entities that were
affected.

Oracles Java technology has come under fire recently over security. It patched some critical

Dell ra mt my tnh bng mi vo cui nm nay - Dell to release new Windows tablets later

Dell is exploring designs with different screen sizes to its current 10-inch models, he said, though it
was unclear if those new sizes will be among the products released later this year. Dell is primarily
interested in screen sizes of 10 inches or larger, Lalla said.

The new tablets will succeed the XPS 10, which runs Windows RT, and the Latitude 10, which runs

Dells tablets are geared toward the BYOD (bring-your-own-device) market, meaning theyre
designed to be suitable for use both at work and at home. The company aims to deliver better remote

But Windows RT has been poorly received so far, and Dell recently cut $50 off the starting price of
the XPS 10, which is now available for $449 with 32GB of storage. Lalla didnt comment on the
demand for its Windows RT tablet.

expected to become available in the fourth quarter, around the time of the holiday shopping season.

Later this year, Intel will also release new fourth-generation Core processors based on the Haswell
microarchitecture, which will succeed Ivy Bridge. Low-power Haswell chips will be used in some
tablets, and Dells laptops and convertibles could potentially be based on Haswell. Last month
CNET reported that an upcoming version of Windows code-named Blue has power management
features that could increase battery life in Haswell-based laptops and tablets.

The plans were disclosed as a buy-out battle continues with Michael Dell and other investment
groups fighting to take the company private. The process has caused consternation among some
customers about the direction the company will take, especially the PC division, which had been de-
emphasized in favor of Dells enterprise focus.

8 du hiu sm ca thai k - 8 Early Signs of Pregnancy


Wondering if you're pregnant? A pregnancy test is the way to know for sure. But what if it's too soon
for accurate results? You may notice some subtle signs of pregnancy -- fatigue, nausea, frequent
urination, and breast tenderness. Here's some expert advice on how to respond to these symptoms if
you're trying to get pregnant.

1. Fatigue

"Extreme, unexplainable fatigue is probably the most common sign of early pregnancy," says Gil
Gross, MD, an associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the Washington University
School of Medicine in St. Louis.

"Don't treat fatigue with excessive caffeine if there is a chance you may be pregnant." Instead, "listen
to your body, take it easy, and try to keep well-rested," says Donnica Moore, MD, a women's health
expert in Far Hills, N.J. +

2. Food Aversions

2. m nghn chn n

If opening the refrigerator makes you wince and you can't even walk past the local Chinese
restaurant without gagging, you could be pregnant. Many women report that such intense food
aversions are one of the first signs of early pregnancy. These can be caused by rising levels of beta-
hCG hormone, Moore says. The best thing you can do to help yourself through this is to steer clear
of triggers.

3. Sensitivity to Smells

3. Nhy cm vi mi

Scents that were never pleasant (like cigarette smoke) and even ones that were pleasing (like your
partner's cologne) can make you queasy during pregnancy's early stages. "For some women, this can
be a tip-off that they are expecting," Moore says. This is likely a result of rising hormone levels.
Unfortunately, "there is really nothing you can do except avoid them when you can," she says,
"especially cigarette smoke, which is not good for you or the baby."

4. Nausea and Vomiting

Nausea and vomiting can be some of the first indications that you're pregnant. Blame it on rising
hormones levels in early pregnancy.

Bun nn v nn c th l mt s trong nhng du hiu u tin cho thy bn ang mang thai. Gy
ra tnh trng ny chnh l hm lng hoc mn tng cao trong giai on u ca thai k.

One of the things that can help expectant moms get through their first trimester is the reassurance
that the nausea and vomiting will likely pass by 19 weeks. "It also helps to know that morning
sickness can be a good thing," Moore says, because rising levels of the beta-HCG hormone, which
may cause morning sickness, indicate a growing pregnancy.

When you eat may make a difference, too. "The key is not to let your stomach get too empty,"
Moore says. "Keep crackers by your bedside and have them before you get out of bed in the
morning." It is also a good idea to eat small, more frequent meals throughout the day and a snack
just before bed. Lemon and peppermint flavored candies can also ease queasiness.

Prenatal vitamins can also trigger nausea for some expectant moms. "Don't take your vitamins on an

dinner."

5. Breast Swelling and Tenderness

5. V sng v au

Breast changes may be another early sign of pregnancy. "The best thing to do about breast
tenderness is to get a better bra," Gross says. A sports bra, for instance, can give you more support.

6. Frequent Urination

6. i tiu thng xuyn

"In early pregnancy, the uterus grows and pushes on the bladder, triggering the urge to urinate more
often," says Xavier Pombar, DO, an obstetrician at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago.

"Trong giai on u ca thai k, t cung to ra v p vo bng quang, gy bun tiu thng xuyn
hn", theo bc s sn khoa Xavier Pombar, DO, ti Trung tm Y t i hc Rush Chicago.

There is no way to avoid this, but going to the bathroom right before bed may allow you to get a
little more sleep. "You will probably still have to get up at least once in the night to use the
bathroom," Pombar says.

7. Shortness of Breath

7. Kh th

Some women feel mildly short of breath when they first become pregnant and sometimes throughout
pregnancy. "This is because you need extra oxygen due to the growing embryo," Pombar says. Talk
to your doctor if you are concerned or if any of the following are true for you:

8. Physical Changes

If you think that you may be pregnant because you've been sexually active without contraception,
make an appointment with your doctor. There are changes in the vagina's color and the softness of
the cervix that an experienced clinician can identify during a pelvic exam, Pombar says. "Remember
that while these are early signs of pregnancy, these are also the symptoms of other things, including
premenstrual syndrome (PMS)," Moore says. "The most reliable early sign of pregnancy is your first
missed period if you have regular periods."

Settle Payments

Gii quyt cc khon thanh ton

Every day there are millions of financial transactions in the United States, some conducted with
paper currency, but many more done with checks, wire transfers and various types of electronic
payments. Banks play an invaluable role in the settling of these payments, making sure that the
proper accounts are credited or debited, in the proper amounts and with relatively little delay.

Credit Intermediation

Trung gian tn dng

Banks play a major role as financial intermediaries. Banks collect money from depositors,
essentially borrowing the money, and then simultaneously lend it out to other borrowers, forging a
chain of debts. This is especially significant when asset values decline. As asset values decline, those
assets are less able to service debt, which in turn makes it more difficult for borrowers to borrow,
and reduces lending capacity. What follows, is a decrease in the flow of credit from savers to
spenders and a decline in economic activity. At the same time, banks often find that they must raise
capital, and their capital needs compete with those available savings.

Maturity Transformation

Chuyn i thi hn

Maturity transformation is part and parcel of what banks do on a daily basis. Many investors are
willing to invest on a very short term basis, but many projects require long-term financial
commitments. What banks do, then, is borrow short-term, in the form of demand deposits and short-
term certificates of deposit, but lend long-term; mortgages, for instance, are frequently repaid over
30 years. By doing this, banks transform debts with very short maturities (deposits) into credits with
very long maturities (loans), and collect the difference in the rates as profit. However, they are also
exposed to the risk that short-term funding costs may rise much faster than they can recoup through
lending.

Money Creation

To ra tin

One of the most vital roles of banks is in money creation. Importantly, money creation at the
individual bank level is not the same thing as "printing money;" currency is just one type of money.
Instead, banks create money through fractional reserve banking. Fractional reserve banking is a key
concept to understanding modern banking and money creation.

Fractional reserve banking refers to the fact that banks keep only a small portion of their deposits on
hand. When a customer comes into the bank and deposits $100, perhaps $10 of that will be kept on
hand in the form of cash or easily-liquidated securities. The remaining $90 will be lent out to
customers as loans, or used to acquire the stock or bonds of other companies. This phenomenon is
known as the money multiplier and can be expressed as the formula: m = 1 / reserve requirement. If
the reserve requirement is 10% (or 0.1), every dollar deposited with a bank, can become $10 of new
money.

A young man was getting ready to graduate college. For many months he had admired a beautiful
sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was
all he wantedAs Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had

Finally, on the morning of his graduation his father called him into his private study. His father told
him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his

Curious, but somewhat disappointed the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-
bound Bible. Angrily, he raised his voice at his father and said, "With all your money you give me a
Bible?" and stormed out of the house, leaving the holy book. Many years passed and the young man
was very successful in business.

possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care things. When he arrived
at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart.

Wear a sunscreen that has an SPF of at least 30 and says "broad-spectrum" on the label, which
means that it protects against the sun's UVA and UVB rays. Put it on all over about 15 to 30 minutes
before going out in the sun. Reapply at least every two hours and after you've been in the water or
sweating. Limit your sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., and remember that water, snow,
and sand can intensify the sun's damaging rays. Wear sunglasses, a hat, and protective

clothing. Check on your medications. Ask your doctor if anything you take might make your skin
more sensitive to sunlight. For example, some acne medications, antibiotics, antidepressants,

Working together for the first time, the father and son developed concepts of how it could be

The project started well, but when it was only a few months underway a tragic accident on the site

Everyone had a negative comment to make and felt that the project should be scrapped since the

D ng mt - Eye allergies
Understanding eye allergies Eye allergies causing red, puffy eyes? You're not alone -- millions of
Americans cope with eye allergies, or allergic conjunctivitis. A cold compress can give you a quick
fix before heading out in public. But for long-term relief, you need to identify triggers and treat
symptoms.

Eye allergy symptoms Symptoms can include redness in the white of the eye or the inner eyelid.
Other signs: itchy eyes, tearing, blurred vision, burning sensation, eyelid swelling, and sensitivity to
light. Eye allergies can occur alone or with nasal allergies and the allergic skin condition
eczema.The only way to know for sure if it's eye allergies is to see your doctor.

Why allergies make eyes red Eye allergies happen when your eyes are exposed to the offending
allergen -- say pet dander or pollen. Cells in your eyes called mast cells release histamine and other
chemicals, causing inflammation. The result: itchy, red, and watery allergic eyes.

Don't rub your eyes It may be tempting, but rubbing itchy eyes can make things worse. Rubbing

LANGMASTER INTERNATIONAL
your eyes may cause the mast cells to release more of the chemicals that caused your eyes to itch in
the first place! Instead, take contact lenses out (if you wear them), avoid eye makeup, and apply cool
compresses to your eyes. Wash your hands often.

Eye allergy cover up tips Apply a hypoallergenic concealer to help hide dark circles. Don't try to
cover up with heavy makeup -- it will only call attention to red, watery eyes. Instead, emphasize
another feature -- wear a pretty lipstick, for example.

Eye allergy triggers: Pollen Grass, tree, and weed pollens are the worst offenders. When pollen
counts are high, stay indoors, keep your windows closed and the air conditioner on. Wear sunglasses
to keep pollen out of your eyes.

Indoor eye allergens: Pet dander Pet dander, dust mites, and molds top the list of indoor eye
allergens. These triggers tend to cause symptoms all year long. To help control pet allergies, keep
the pet out of your bedroom. Neither dog nor cat, but can't resist playing with a friend's pet? Limit
exposure by washing your hands immediately after you touch the pet. Change clothes as soon as you
go home.

Mop away allergens If dust mites trigger your runny, watery eyes, pay attention to bedding and

30% and 50%. Clean floors with a damp mop. Don't sweep, which stirs up allergens.

Eye allergies and mold If indoor molds cause eye problems, regularly clean bathrooms, kitchens, and

Treating eye allergies Most drops for eye allergies may have the same medications used to treat
nasal allergies: antihistamines, decongestants, and mast cell stabilizers. Antihistamines combat
symptoms by blocking the effect of histamine. Mast cell stabilizers reduce inflammation by
preventing the release of chemicals such as histamines from mast cells.

Eye allergy drops Tear substitutes rinse the allergens out of your eye and keep eyes moist.
Decongestant drops shrink blood vessels in your eyes, which decreases redness. But using them
long-term can actually make symptoms worse. Both kinds of eye drops are available over the

doctor.

Oral medicines for eye allergies Oral antihistamines and decongestants may help control symptoms

Mother: Sure, girl, thats no big deal. Just do whatever you want if you really cant stand it. But
before that, do one thing first. Remember the saving passbook I gave you on your wedding day?
Take out all money and spend it first. You shouldnt keep any record of such a poor marriage.

Jocelyn thought it was true. So she went to the bank, waiting at the queue and planning to cancel the
account. While she was waiting, she took a look at the passbook record. She looked, and looked, and
looked. Then the memory of all the previous joy and happiness just came up her mind. Her eyes
were then filled with tears. She left and went home. When she was home, she handed the passbook
to William, asked him to spend the money before getting divorce.

Build basic skills. You can help your child hone basic math skills by doing something as simple as
counting eggs or pouring water into a measuring cup. You can ask what comes first, second, and
third or count together as you spoon dough onto a cookie sheet. When you read a recipe together,
you're introducing new words to your child's vocabulary and promoting literacy. Following steps in
the recipe can work on listening skills.

Encourage an adventurous palate. Preschoolers are notoriously picky eaters, and bringing them into
the kitchen to cook can help get them to open up to new tastes. When your 3-year-old daughter plays
chef she might sample dishes she wouldn't try if you just served them to her. So encourage kids to
taste new ingredients you're working with and talk about what they like and how healthy foods make

Help young kids explore with their senses. Kids learn by exploring with their senses and the
kitchen is an ideal place to do that. Invite them to listen to the whir of the mixer, pound dough and
watch it rise, smell it baking in the oven, and finally taste the warm bread fresh from the oven. If it
smells good, looks appealing, and is easy to eat they may just be willing to try it!

Boost confidence. Preschoolers love to show what they can do and working in the kitchen provides
opportunities to gain a sense of accomplishment. If they helped assemble the pizza, let them know
that their help was important. You could name the pizza or another dish after your child. Serve
"Will's Pizza" or "Ella's Salad" for dinner tonight. Even if the end results are not exactly what you

Ti sao ti cn phi ng? - Why Do I Need to Sleep?


Sleep gives your body a rest and allows it to prepare for the next day. It's like giving your body a
mini-vacation. Sleep also gives your brain a chance to sort things out. cientists aren't exactly sure
what kinds of organizing your brain does while you sleep, but they think that sleep might be the time
when the brain sorts and stores information, replaces chemicals, and solves problems

The amount of sleep a person needs depends a lot on his or her age. Babies sleep a lot about 14 to

15 hours a day! But many older people only need about 7 or 8 hours of sleep each night. Most kids
between the ages of 5 and 12 years old are somewhere in between, needing 10 to 11 hours of sleep.
Some kids might need more and some need less. It depends on the kid.

Skipping 1 night's sleep makes a person cranky and clumsy. After missing 2 nights of sleep, a person

bit more say, "I'd rather risk losing institutional knowledge and get someone in there I trust."

HBR has published research suggesting that insider CEOs are more effective than outsiders. Could
part of the reason be that outsiders replace so much of their staff with other outsiders, lacking that
institutional knowledge?

It could be. But why do you hire an outsider? Either you couldn't develop an insider, or the external
environment has shifted enough that you need someone who can come in and really drive
transformational change. So either way, outsiders are often coming in to a tougher job. They're going
to be driving change, and so they're going to need new people with new skillsets to drive the
business forward.

It's really both. Every good seasoned executive will do two assessments of people. One is, they'll
look at you and evaluate, "Do you have the right values and motivations for what I need on my team
and what we need moving forward?" Can they trust you? The other big piece of it is, "Are you going
to put the enterprise before your self-interest?" And that one is big. They need their senior team to
make big decisions about where resources go, and sometimes that may disadvantage you. You may
have to be selfless, give up some of your budget. So after they've looked at those two things, then
they might go down that more methodical path of, "Do you have the capabilities to do what I need in
your function?"

That was an odd one, and I don't have a great answer for that. Certainly we know that heads of
finance and HR tend to move around a lot more because the skills are very transferrable, and in fact
it looks better for an HR executive or CFO to show a breadth of industry. You actually get a bit
disadvantaged if you've been in the same company or the same industry your whole career, as an HR
person. But general counsel is a little different, because legal issues are often more specific to the
industry. So I don't really understand that one."

What about the difference between insider and outsider CEOs they really seem to replace
different functional heads. Insiders are much more likely to replace the COO, for instance, while
outsiders are more likely to replace the CFO. Why the discrepancy?

When a new CEO gets that [internal promotion], they want to be closer to the business than not, and
boards usually want them to have their thumb on the pulse of the organization, rather than someone
else. But CEOs do need to be less in the day to day operations, and become more externally focused.
So they need to have the right person in that COO role.

When you're coming from the outside, the CFO role and the head of HR are the right and left wing

That has pros and cons. The pros are that certain types of people really want to follow that kind of
leader with confidence and declarativeness. Boards like that, too. The downside is well, take your
first-time CEO, who doesn't have the templates. The pros are that they often form really strong
teams to go on a journey with them; you're going to help define the path. So those CEOs really get
people to follow them who want to have impact, who want to shape the future, and who want to
create those templates together.

Salustiano was born June 8, 1901 in the village of El Tejado de Bejar within the province of
Salamanca, Spain. He was revered growing up for his dulzania musical prowess (a dulzania is a

village celebrations and weddings. Salustiano attended school up until the age of ten and considers
himself self-taught.

working in the booming coal mines of Lynch, Kentucky.

Ti sao chng ta li ngp? - Why We Yawn?

Now a series of experiments suggests a surprising reason for yawning. It cools the brain, says

Here's the basic idea: When you start to yawn, powerful stretching of the jaw increases blood flow
in the neck, face, and head. The deep intake of breath during a yawn forces downward flow of
spinal fluid and blood from the brain. Cool air breathed into the mouth cools these fluids.

"Together these processes may act like a radiator, removing [too hot] blood from the brain while

We Yawn More When It's Cool

Gallup's theory predicts that colder outside air should cool the brain better than hot air. The body
should therefore yawn more when the air is cool, and yawn less when the air is hot.

Where better to test this than in Tucson, Ariz.? Gallup's team went there twice: Once in the winter,

Sure enough, in the cooler weather 45% of people yawned when they looked at the pictures. But in
hotter weather, only 24% of people yawned. Moreover, people yawned more if they'd been outside
longer in the cool weather, and yawned less if they'd been outside longer in the hot weather.

These results mimicked an earlier study in which Gallup's team showed that budgie parakeets
yawned more in cool temperatures than they did in hot temperatures. And it supported a rat study in
which rat brains cooled a bit when the animals yawned.

Sadness is a natural human emotion. Like other emotions, sad feelings come and go. Some sad
feelings last only a moment, some last longer. When sad feelings ease away, a happier mood can
take their place.

Th tng Na Uy Jens Stoltenberg lm ti x taxi thu ht c tri - Norway's PM Jens

Norway's prime minister worked secretly as a taxi driver in central Oslo for a day in June, leaving
his passengers wondering whether their elected leader had quit the day job.

Wearing a taxi driver's uniform and sunglasses, Jens Stoltenberg drove passengers around the streets

who he was.

The stunt, dreamed up by an ad agency as part of Stoltenberg's campaign for re-election, was filmed
on hidden cameras. A video of the event was published on Sunday by the daily newspaper VG and
on Stoltenberg's Facebook page.

At one point the prime minister gives the car an abrupt jolt, thinking he is pressing the clutch when

This means considering some very important factors both physical ones, like the possibility of
becoming pregnant or getting a sexually transmitted disease (STD) and emotional factors, too.
Though a person's body may feel ready for sex, sex also has very serious emotional consequences.

Nobody wants to feel left out of things it's natural to want to be liked and feel as if you're part of a

their friends or to be accepted.

Maybe most of your friends have already had sex with their boyfriends or girlfriends and act like it
isn't a big deal. But sex isn't something that's only physical; it's emotional, too. And because
everyone's emotions are different, it's hard to rely on your friends' opinions to decide if it's the right
time for you to have sex.

What matters to you is the most important thing, and your values may not match those of your
friends. That's OK it's what makes people unique. Having sex to impress someone or to make
your friends happy or feel like you have something in common with them won't make you feel very
good about yourself in the long run. True friends don't really care whether a person is a virgin
they will respect your decisions, no matter what.

Even if your friends are cool with your decision, it's easy to be misled by TV shows and movies into
thinking that every teen in America is having sex. Writers and producers may make a show or movie
plot exciting by showing teens being sexually active, but these teens are actors, not real people with

LANGMASTER INTERNATIONAL
real concerns. They don't have to worry about being ready for sex, how they will feel later on, or
what might happen as a result. In other words, these TV and movie plots are stories, not real life. In
real life, every teen can, and should, make his or her own decision.

Although some teens who are going out don't pressure each other about sex, the truth is that in many
relationships, one person wants to have sex although the other one doesn't.

Again, what matters most differs from person to person. Maybe one person in a relationship is more
curious and has stronger sexual feelings than the other. Or another person has religious reasons why
he or she doesn't want to have sex and the other person doesn't share those beliefs.

Anyone who tries to pressure you into having sex by saying, "if you truly cared, you wouldn't say

If someone says that not having sex after doing other kinds of fooling around will cause him or her
physical pain, that's also a sign that that person is thinking only of himself or herself. If you feel that
you should have sex because you're afraid of losing that person, it may be a good time to end the

boyfriend or girlfriend truly loves you, he or she won't push or pressure you to do something you
don't believe in or aren't ready for yet.

Feeling Curious

Cm thy t m

You might have a lot of new sexual feelings or thoughts. These feelings and thoughts are totally
normal it means that all of your hormones are working properly. But sometimes your curiosity or
sexual feelings can make you feel like it's the right time to have sex, even though it may not be.

Though your body may have the ability to have sex and you may really want to satisfy your

curiosity, it doesn't mean your mind is ready. Although some teens understand how sex can affect
them emotionally, many don't and this can lead to confusion and deeply hurt feelings later.

Why Some Teens Wait

Some teens are waiting longer to have sex they are thinking more carefully about what it means
to lose their virginity and begin a sexual relationship.

For these teens, there are many reasons for abstinence (not having sex). Some don't want to worry
about unplanned pregnancy and all its consequences. Others see abstinence as a way to protect
themselves completely from STDs. Some STDs (like AIDS) can literally make sex a life-or-death
situation, and many teens take this very seriously.

Some teens don't have sex because their religion prohibits it or because they simply have a very

they want to wait until they're absolutely sure they can handle it.

When it comes to sex, there are two very important things to remember: 1) that you are ultimately
the person in charge of your own happiness and your own body; and 2) you have a lot of time to wait
until you're totally sure about it.

If you decide to put off having sex, it's OK no matter what anyone says. Being a virgin is one of
the things that proves you are in charge, and it shows that you are powerful enough to make your

Tt c Nhng loi nhn ging mng - The spiders that make webs
The spiders that make webs orb weavers and cobweb spiders, for example use their silk to
ensnare prey. Should a fly or moth unwittingly wander into a web, it becomes instantly entangled.
The spider, on the other hand, can rush across the web to enjoy its freshly captured meal without fear
of finding herself trapped. Did you ever wonder why spiders don't get stuck in their webs?

Answer:

Tr li:

If you've ever had the pleasure of walking into a spider web and having silk plastered on your face,
you know it's kind of a sticky, clingy substance. A moth that flies full speed into such a trap doesn't
stand much of a chance of freeing itself. But in both cases, the unsuspecting victims came in full
contact with the spider silk. The spider, on the other hand, doesn't tumble willy-nilly into its web.
Watch a spider traverse its web, and you will notice it takes careful steps, tiptoeing delicately from
thread to thread. Only the tips of each leg make contact with the silk. This minimizes the chances of
the spider becoming ensnared in its own trap.

Spiders are also careful groomers. If you observe a spider at length, you may see her pull each leg
through her mouth, gently scraping off any silk bits and other debris that inadvertently stuck to her
claws or bristles. Meticulous grooming probably ensures that her legs and body are less prone to
sticking, should she suffer a misstep in the web.

Even if a disheveled, clumsy spider should trip and fall into its own web, it's not likely to get stuck.
Contrary to popular belief, not all spider silk is sticky. In most orb weaver webs, for example, only
the spiral threads have adhesive qualities. The spokes of the web, as well as the center of the web
where the spider rests, are constructed without "glue." She can use these threads as pathways to walk
around the web without sticking. In some webs, the silk is dotted with glue globules, not completely
coated in adhesive. The spider can avoid the sticky spots. Some spider webs, such as those made by
funnel web spiders or sheet weavers, are constructed only of dry silk.

A common misconception about spiders is that some kind of natural lubricant or oil on their legs
prevents silk from adhering to them. This is entirely false. Spiders do not have oil-producing glands,
nor are their legs coated in any such substance.

stage games having been rebuilt on the site of the old stadium to a capacity of 42,000. This capacity
will be scaled back to 32,000 following the tournament, but question marks have been asked of its
long-term viability. The three leading teams in the North Eastern city, the capital of Rio Grande do

Cockroaches are scavengers. While most roaches prefer sweets given a choice, in a pinch, they will
eat just about anything: glue, grease, soap, wallpaper, paste, leather, bookbindings, or even hair.
Worse yet, a cockroach can survive a remarkably long time without food. Some species can go as
long as 6 weeks without a meal! These traits make cockroaches in our homes tough to control. But in

Roaches are thigmotropic, meaning they like feeling something solid in contact with their bodies,

them the comfort of a tight fit. The small German cockroach can fit into a crack as thin as a dime,

Mama cockroach protects her eggs by enveloping them in a thick protective case, called an ootheca.
German cockroaches may encase as many as 40 eggs in one ootheca, while the larger American
roaches average about 14 eggs per capsule. A female cockroach can produce multiple egg cases over
her lifetime. In some species, the mother will carry the ootheca with her until the eggs are ready to
hatch. In others, the female will drop the ootheca, or attach it to a substrate.

For millions of years, cockroaches have carried on a symbiotic relationship with special bacteroides
carried within their own bodies. The bacteroides live within special cells called mycetocytes, and are
passed down to new generations of cockroaches by their mothers. In exchange for living a life of
relative comfort inside the cockroach's fatty tissue, the bacteroides manufacture all the vitamins and
amino acids the cockroach needs to live. This arrangement allows the cockroach to dine on just
about anything it finds, without concern for its lack of nutritional value.

7. Cockroaches can live for weeks without their heads.

7. Gin c th sng nhiu tun d mt u.

As crazy as this sounds, entomologists have actually decapitated roaches to study this phenomena.
Lop the head off a roach, and a week or two later it will still respond to stimuli by wiggling its legs.
Why? Because the head of a roach isn't all that important to how it functions. Cockroaches have
open circulatory systems, so as long as the wound clots normally, they aren't prone to bleeding out.
Their respiration occurs via spiracles along the sides of the body. And they can survive without
eating for weeks. Eventually, the cockroach will either dehydrate or succumb to mold.

8. Gin rt nhanh!

Anyone who shares their home with cockroaches will tell you how fast they scurry for cover when
you flip on the light switch. But when I say they're fast, I mean measurably fast. Cockroaches detect
approaching threats by sensing changes in air currents. The fastest start time clocked by a cockroach
was just 8.2 milliseconds after it sensed a puff of air on its rear end. Once all six legs are in motion, a
cockroach can sprint at speeds of 80 centimeters per second. And they're elusive, too, with the ability
to turn on a dime while in full stride.

Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov first documented the concept of classical conditioning, famously
demonstrated by his salivating dogs. The dogs would hear a ticking metronome each time they were
fed. Soon, the sound of the metronome alone was enough to make the dogs salivate in anticipation of
a meal. Makoto Mizunami and his colleague Hidehiro Watanabe, both of Tohoku University, found
cockroaches could also be conditioned this way. They introduced the scent of vanilla or peppermint
just before giving the roaches a sugary treat. Eventually, the cockroaches would drool yes, drool
when their antennae detected one of these scents in the air.

Khm ph cc nguyn nhn gy d ng ca bn - Uncover your allergy triggers

Nearly 20% of Americans have allergies. Allergies are an abnormal response of your immune
system. Your body's defenses react to a usually harmless substance, such as pollen, animal dander,
or food. Almost anything can trigger an allergic reaction, which can range from mild and annoying
to life-threatening. Here are 10 of the most common triggers.

Pollen Pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds can trigger hay fever or seasonal allergies. You might
have symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, and itchy, watery eyes. Treatments
include over-the-counter products, prescription drugs, and allergy shots. Prevent symptoms by
staying inside on windy days when pollen counts are high, closing windows, and running the air
conditioning.

Animal dander Proteins secreted by oil glands in an animal's skin and present in their saliva can
cause allergic reactions for some people. The allergy can take two or more years to develop and
symptoms may not go away until months after being away from the animal. If your pet is causing
allergies, make your bedroom a pet-free zone, avoid carpets, and wash him regularly. A HEPA filter
and frequent vacuuming may also help. Allergy shots may be beneficial.

Dust mites Dust mites are microscopic organisms that live in house dust. They thrive in high
humidity and feed on the dead skin cells of people and pets, as well as on pollen, bacteria, and fungi.
Help prevent dust mite allergies by covering mattresses, pillows, and box springs, using
hypoallergenic pillows, washing sheets weekly in hot water, and keeping the house free of dust
collecting-items such as stuffed animals, curtains, and carpet.

Insect stings People who are allergic to stings can have a severe or even life-threatening reaction.
Symptoms include severe swelling and redness from the sting or bite that may last a week or more,
nausea, fatigue, and low-grade fever. In rare cases when insect bites cause a severe reaction
(anaphylaxis), symptoms may include difficulty breathing, swelling around the face, throat, or
mouth, racing pulse, an itchy rash or hives, dizziness, or a sharp drop in blood pressure. If you're
severely allergic, you should get epinephrine immediately after a sting. Allergy shots are
recommended to prevent anaphylaxis for some stings.

Fragrance Fragrances found in products like perfumes, scented candles, laundry detergent, and

Tm l ca s s hi - The Psychology of Fear
Biochemical Reaction

Phn ng sinh ho

When we confront a perceived danger, our bodies respond in specific ways. Physical reactions to
fear include sweating, increased heart rate and high adrenaline levels. This physical response is
sometimes known as the fight or flight response, in which the body prepares itself to either enter
combat or run away.

Emotional Response

The emotional response to fear is highly personalized. Some people are adrenaline junkies, thriving
on extreme sports and other fear-inducing thrill situations. Others have a negative reaction to the
feeling of fear, avoiding fear-inducing situations at all costs. Although the physical reaction is the

same, fear may be perceived as either positive or negative.

Halloween (L hi ma)

An entire Halloween industry has been built on peoples enjoyment of fear. The majority of people
avoid situations in which there is a high risk of actual injury. Yet they enjoy the experience of being
scared in an environment that is actually safe. Horror films are another example of this
phenomenon.

Acclimation

Repeated exposure to similar situations leads to familiarity. This greatly reduces both the fear
response and the resulting elation, leading adrenaline junkies to seek out ever new and bigger thrills.
It also forms the basis of some phobia treatments, which depend on slowly minimizing the fear
response by making it feel familiar.

Psychology of Phobias

Tm l hc ca cc m nh

One aspect of anxiety disorders can be a tendency to develop a fear of fear. Where most people tend
to experience fear only during a situation that is perceived as scary, those who suffer from anxiety
disorders may become afraid that they will experience a fear response. They perceive their fear

responses as negative, and go out of their way to avoid those responses.

A phobia is a twisting of the normal fear response. The fear is directed toward an object or situation
that does not present a real danger. The sufferer recognizes that the fear is unreasonable, yet cannot
help the reaction. Over time, the fear tends to worsen as the fear of fear response takes hold.

In systematic desensitization, the client is gradually led through a series of exposure situations. For
example, a client with a fear of snakes may spend the first session talking about snakes. Slowly, over
subsequent sessions, the client would be led through looking at pictures of snakes, playing with toy
snakes, and eventually handling a live snake. This is often accompanied by learning and applying
new coping techniques to manage the fear response.

crime scene insects reveal the time of death of a corpse?
Insects colonize cadavers in a predictable sequence, also known as insect succession. The first to
arrive are the necrophagous species, drawn by the strong scent of decomposition. Blow flies can
invade a corpse within minutes of death, and flesh flies follow close behind. Soon after come the
dermestid beetles, the same beetles used by taxidermists to clean skulls of their flesh. More flies
gather, including house flies. Predatory and parasitic insects arrive to feed on the maggots and beetle
larvae. Eventually, as the corpse dries, hide beetles and clothes moths find the remains.

Forensic entomologists collect samples of crime scene insects, making sure to take representatives of
every species at their latest stage of development. Because arthropod development is linked directly
to temperature, she also gathers daily temperature data from the nearest available weather station. In
the lab, the scientist identifies each insect to species, and determines their exact developmental stage.
Since identification of maggots can be difficult, the entomologist usually raises some of the maggots
to adulthood to confirm their species.

Blow flies and flesh flies are the most useful crime scene insects for determining the postmortem
interval, or time of death. Through laboratory studies, scientists have established the developmental
rates of necrophagous species, based on constant temperatures in a laboratory environment. These
databases relate a species' life stage to its age when developing at a constant temperature, and
provide the entomologist with a measurement called accumulated degree days, or ADD. ADD
represents physiological time.

Using the known ADD, she can then calculate the likely age of a specimen from the corpse,
adjusting for the temperatures and other environmental conditions at the crime scene. Working
backwards through physiological time, the forensic entomologist can provide investigators with a
specific time period when the body was first colonized by necrophagous insects. Since these insects
almost always find the corpse within minutes or hours of the person's death, this calculation reveals
the postmortem interval with good accuracy.

Pht lut ca cuc sng - The law of life
The old Indian was sitting on the snow. It was Koskoosh, former chief of his tribe. Now, all he could
do was sit and listen to the others. His eyes were old. He could not see, but his ears were wide open
to every sound. Aha. That was the sound of his daughter, Sit-cum-to-ha. She was beating the dogs,
trying to make them stand in front of the snow sleds. He was forgotten by her, and by the others, too.
They had to look for new hunting grounds. The long, snowy ride waited. The days of the northlands
were growing short. The tribe could not wait for death. Koskoosh was dying. The stiff, crackling
noises of frozen animal skins told him that the chiefs tent was being torn down. The chief was a
mighty hunter. He was his son, the son of Koskoosh. Koskoosh was being left to die. As the women
worked, old Koskoosh could hear his sons voice drive them to work faster. He listened harder. It
was the last time he would hear that voice. A child cried, and a woman sang softly to quiet it. The
child was Koo-tee, the old man thought, a sickly child. It would die soon, and they would burn a
hole in the frozen ground to bury it. They would cover its small body with stones to keep the wolves
away. Well, what of it? A few years, and in the end, death. Death waited ever hungry. Death had
the hungriest stomach of all. Koskoosh listened to other sounds he would hear no more: the men
tying strong leather rope around the sleds to hold their belongings; the sharp sounds of leather whips,

LANGMASTER INTERNATIONAL
ordering the dogs to move and pull the sleds. Listen to the dogs cry. How they hated the work.
They were off. Sled after sled moved slowly away into the silence. They had passed out of his life.
He must meet his last hour alone. But what was that? The snow packed down hard under
someones shoes. A man stood beside him, and placed a hand gently on his old head. His son was
good to do this. He remembered other old men whose sons had not done this, who had left without a
goodbye. His mind traveled into the past until his sons voice brought him back. It is well with
you? his son asked. And the old man answered, It is well. There is wood next to you and the fire
burns bright, the son said. The morning is gray and the cold is here. It will snow soon. Even now it
is snowing. Ahh, even now it is snowing. The tribesmen hurry. Their loads are heavy and their
stomachs flat from little food. The way is long and they travel fast. I go now. All is well? It is
well. I am as last years leaf that sticks to the tree. The first breath that blows will knock me to the
ground. My voice is like an old womans. My eyes no longer show me the way my feet go. I am
tired and all is well. He lowered his head to his chest and listened to the snow as his son rode away.
He felt the sticks of wood next to him again. One by one, the fire would eat them. And step by step,
death would cover him. When the last stick was gone, the cold would come. First, his feet would
freeze. Then, his hands. The cold would travel slowly from the outside to the inside of him, and he
would rest. It was easyall men must die. He felt sorrow, but he did not think of his sorrow. It was
the way of life. He had lived close to the earth, and the law was not new to him. It was the law of the
body. Nature was not kind to the body. She was not thoughtful of the person alone. She was
interested only in the group, the race, the species. This was a deep thought for old Koskoosh. He had
seen examples of it in all his life. The tree sap in early spring; the new-born green leaf, soft and fresh
as skin; the fall of the yellowed, dry leaf. In this alone was all history. He placed another stick on the
fire and began to remember his past. He had been a great chief, too. He had seen days of much food
and laughter; fat stomachs when food was left to rot and spoil; times when they left animals alone,
unkilled; days when women had many children. And he had seen days of no food and empty
stomachs, days when the fish did not come, and the animals were hard to find. For seven years the
animals did not come. Then, he remembered when as a small boy how he watched the wolves kill a
moose. He was with his friend Zing-ha, who was killed later in the Yukon River. Ah, but the moose.
Zing-ha and he had gone out to play that day. Down by the river they saw fresh steps of a big, heavy
moose. Hes an old one, Zing-ha had said. He cannot run like the others. He has fallen behind.
The wolves have separated him from the others. They will never leave him. And so it was. By day
and night, never stopping, biting at his nose, biting at his feet, the wolves stayed with him until the
end. Zing-ha and he had felt the blood quicken in their bodies. The end would be a sight to see. They
had followed the steps of the moose and the wolves. Each step told a different story. They could see
the tragedy as it happened: here was the place the moose stopped to fight. The snow was packed
down for many feet. One wolf had been caught by the heavy feet of the moose and kicked to death.
Further on, they saw how the moose had struggled to escape up a hill. But the wolves had attacked
from behind. The moose had fallen down and crushed two wolves. Yet, it was clear the end was
near. The snow was red ahead of them. Then they heard the sounds of battle. He and Zing-ha moved
closer, on their stomachs, so the wolves would not see them. They saw the end. The picture was so
strong it had stayed with him all his life. His dull, blind eyes saw the end again as they had in the far
off past. For long, his mind saw his past. The fire began to die out, and the cold entered his body. He
placed two more sticks on it, just two more left. This would be how long he would live. It was very
lonely. He placed one of the last pieces of wood on the fire. Listen, what a strange noise for wood to

LANGMASTER INTERNATIONAL
make in the fire. No, it wasnt wood. His body shook as he recognized the soundwolves. The cry
of a wolf brought the picture of the old moose back to him again. He saw the body torn to pieces,
with fresh blood running on the snow. He saw the clean bones lying gray against the frozen blood.
He saw the rushing forms of the gray wolves, their shinning eyes, their long wet tongues and sharp
teeth. And he saw them form a circle and move ever slowly closer and closer. A cold, wet nose
touched his face. At the touch, his soul jumped forward to awaken him. His hand went to the fire and
he pulled a burning stick from it. The wolf saw the fire, but was not afraid. It turned and howled into
the air to his brother wolves. They answered with hunger in their throats, and came running. The old
Indian listened to the hungry wolves. He heard them form a circle around him and his small fire. He
waved his burning stick at them, but they did not move away. Now, one of them moved closer,
slowly, as if to test the old mans strength. Another and another followed. The circle grew smaller
and smaller. Not one wolf stayed behind. Why should he fight? Why cling to life? And he dropped
his stick with the fire on the end of it. It fell in the snow and the light went out. The circle of wolves
moved closer. Once again the old Indian saw the picture of the moose as it struggled before the end
came. He dropped his head to his knees. What did it matter after all? Isnt this the law of life?

While Facebook has carved out a large chunk of the global Internet market, researchers point out
that in the countries where the social media site was most popular, Google is not far behind.

Asia, meanwhile is more of a patchwork, with Chinas Baidu search engine dominating that

Korea, but admit that could be a result of skewed data. On the other hand, they say it could reflect
Baidus ambitions beyond China.

Phn quyt - 21 Verdict
21 VERDICT WE WERE IN A BRIGHTLY LIT, UNREMARKABLE HALLWAY. The walls
were off-white, the floor carpeted in industrial gray. Common rectangular fluorescent lights were
spaced evenly along the ceiling. It was warmer here, for which I was grateful. This hall seemed very
benign after the gloom of the ghoulish stone sewers. Edward didn't seem to agree with my
assessment. He glowered darkly down the long hallway, toward the slight, black shrouded figure at
the end, standing by an elevator. He pulled me along, and Alice walked on my other side. The heavy
door creaked shut behind us, and then there was the thud of a bolt sliding home. Jane waited by the
elevator, one hand holding the doors open for us. Her expression was apathetic. Once inside the
elevator, the three vampires that belonged to the Volturi relaxed further. They threw back their
cloaks, letting the hoods fall back on their shoulders. Felix and Demetri were both of a slightly olive
complexionit looked odd combined with their chalky pallor. Felix's black hair was cropped short,
but Demetri's waved to his shoulders. Their irises were deep crimson around the edges, darkening
until they were black around the pupil. Under the shrouds, their clothes were modern, pale, and
nondescript. I cowered in the corner, cringing against Edward. His hand still rubbed against my arm.
He never took his eyes off Jane. The elevator ride was short; we stepped out into what looked like a
posh office reception area. The walls were paneled in wood, the floors carpeted in thick, deep green.
There were no windows, but large, brightly lit paintings of the Tuscan countryside hung everywhere
as replacements. Pale leather couches were arranged in cozy groupings, and the glossy tables held
crystal vases full of vibrantly colored bouquets. The flowers' smell reminded me of a funeral home.
In the middle of the room was a high, polished mahogany counter. I gawked in astonishment at the
woman behind it. She was tall, with dark skin and green eyes. She would have been very pretty in
any other companybut not here. Because she was every bit as human as I was. I couldn't
comprehend what this human woman was doing here, totally at ease, surrounded by vampires. She
smiled politely in welcome. "Good afternoon, Jane," she said. There was no surprise in her face as
she glanced at Jane's company. Not Edward, his bare chest glinting dimly in the white lights, or even
me, disheveled and comparatively hideous. Jane nodded. "Gianna." She continued toward a set of
double doors in the back of the room, and we followed. As Felix passed the desk, he winked at
Gianna, and she giggled. On the other side of the wooden doors was a different kind of reception.
The pale boy in the pearl gray suit could have been Jane's twin. His hair was darker, and his lips
were not as full, but he was just as lovely. He came forward to meet us. He smiled, reaching for her.
"Jane." "Alec," she responded, embracing the boy. They kissed each other's cheeks on both sides.
Then he looked at us. "They send you out for one and you come back with two and a half," he

LANGMASTER INTERNATIONAL
noted, looking at me. "Nice work." She laughedthe sound sparkled with delight like a baby's
cooing. "Welcome back, Edward," Alec greeted him. "You seem in a better mood." "Marginally,"
Edward agreed in a flat voice. I glanced at Edward's hard face, and wondered how his mood could
have been darker before. Alec chuckled, and examined me as I clung to Edward's side. "And this is
the cause of all the trouble?" he asked, skeptical. Edward only smiled, his expression contemptuous.
Then he froze. "Dibs," Felix called casually from behind. Edward turned, a low snarl building deep
in his chest. Felix smiledhis hand was raised, palm up; he curled his fingers twice, inviting
Edward forward. Alice touched Edward's arm. "Patience," she cautioned him. They exchanged a
long glance, and I wished I could hear what she was telling him. I figured that it was something to do
with not attacking Felix, because Edward took a deep breath and turned back to Alec. "Aro will be
so pleased to see you again," Alec said, as if nothing had passed. "Let's not keep him waiting," Jane
suggested. Edward nodded once. Alec and Jane, holding hands, led the way down yet another wide,
ornate hallwould there ever be an end? They ignored the doors at the end of the halldoors
entirely sheathed in goldstopping halfway down the hall and sliding aside a piece of the paneling
to expose a plain wooden door. It wasn't locked. Alec held it open for Jane. I wanted to groan when
Edward pulled me through to the other side of the door. It was the same ancient stone as the square,
the alley, and the sewers. And it was dark and cold again. The stone antechamber was not large. It
opened quickly into a brighter, cavernous room, perfectly round like a huge castle turret which
was probably exactly what it was. Two stories up, long window slits threw thin rectangles of bright
sunlight onto the stone floor below. There were no artificial lights. The only furniture in the room
were several massive wooden chairs, like thrones, that were spaced unevenly, flush with the curving
stone walls. In the very center of the circle, in a slight depression, was another drain. I wondered if
they used it as an exit, like the hole in the street. The room was not empty. A handful of people were
convened in seemingly relaxed conversation. The murmur of low, smooth voices was a gentle hum
in the air. As I watched, a pair of pale women in summer dresses paused in a patch of light, and, like
prisms, their skin threw the light in rainbow sparkles against the sienna walls. The exquisite faces all
turned toward our party as we entered the room. Most of the immortals were dressed in
inconspicuous pants and shirtsthings that wouldn't stick out at all on the streets below. But the
man who spoke first wore one of the long robes. It was pitch-black, and brushed against the floor.
For a moment, I thought his long, jet-black hair was the hood of his cloak. "Jane, dear one, you've
returned!" he cried in evident delight. His voice was just a soft sighing. He drifted forward, and the
movement flowed with such surreal grace that I gawked, my mouth hanging open. Even Alice,
whose every motion looked like dancing, could not compare. I was only more astonished as he
floated closer and I could see his face. It was not like the unnaturally attractive faces that surrounded
him (for he did not approach us alone; the entire group converged around him, some following, and
some walking ahead of him with the alert manner of bodyguards). I couldn't decide if his face was
beautiful or not. I suppose the features were perfect. But he was as different from the vampires
beside him as they were from me. His skin was translucently white, like onionskin, and it looked just
as delicateit stood in shocking contrast to the long black hair that framed his face. I felt a strange,
horrifying urge to touch his cheek, to see if it was softer than Edward's or Alice's, or if it was
powdery, like chalk. His eyes were red, the same as the others around him, but the color was
clouded, milky; I wondered if his vision was affected by the haze. He glided to Jane, took her face in
his papery hands, kissed her lightly on her full lips, and then floated back a step. "Yes, Master." Jane
smiled; the expression made her look like an angelic child. "I brought him back alive, just as you

LANGMASTER INTERNATIONAL
wished." "Ah, Jane." He smiled, too. "You are such a comfort to me." He turned his misty eyes
toward us, and the smile brightenedbecame ecstatic. "And Alice and Bella, too!" he rejoiced,
clapping his thin hands together. "This is a happy surprise! Wonderful!" I stared in shock as he
called our names informally, as if we were old friends dropping in for an unexpected visit. He turned
to our hulking escort. "Felix, be a dear and tell my brothers about our company. I'm sure they
wouldn't want to miss this." "Yes, Master." Felix nodded and disappeared back the way we had
come. "You see, Edward?" The strange vampire turned and smiled at Edward like a fond but
scolding grandfather. "What did I tell you? Aren't you glad that I didn't give you what you wanted
yesterday?" "Yes, Aro, I am," he agreed, tightening his arm around my waist. "I love a happy
ending." Aro sighed. "They are so rare. But I want the whole story. How did this happen? Alice?" He
turned to gaze at Alice with curious, misty eyes. "Your brother seemed to think you infallible, but
apparently there was some mistake." "Oh, I'm far from infallible." She flashed a dazzling smile. She
looked perfectly at ease, except that her hands were balled into tight little fists. "As you can see
today, I cause problems as often as I cure them." "You're too modest," Aro chided. "I've seen some
of your more amazing exploits, and I must admit I've never observed anything like your talent.
Wonderful!" Alice flickered a glance at Edward. Aro did not miss it. "I'm sorry, we haven't been
introduced properly at all, have we? It's just that I feel like I know you already, and I tend get ahead
of myself. Your brother introduced us yesterday, in a peculiar way. You see, I share some of your
brother's talent, only I am limited in a way that he is not." Aro shook his head; his tone was envious.
"And also exponentially more powerful," Edward added dryly. He looked at Alice as he swiftly
explained. "Aro needs physical contact to hear your thoughts, but he hears much more than I do.
You know I can only hear what's passing through your head in the moment. Aro hears every thought
your mind has ever had." Alice raised her delicate eyebrows, and Edward inclined his head. Aro
didn't miss that either. "But to be able to hear from a distance" Aro sighed, gesturing toward the
two of them, and the exchange that had just taken place. "That would be so convenient." Aro looked
over our shoulders. All the other heads turned in the same direction, including Jane, Alec, and
Demetri, who stood silently beside us. I was the slowest to turn. Felix was back, and behind him
floated two more black-robed men. Both looked very much like Aro, one even had the same flowing
black hair. The other had a shock of snow-white hairthe same shade as his facethat brushed
against his shoulders. Their faces had identical, paper-thin skin. The trio from Carlisle's painting was
complete, unchanged by the last three hundred years since it was painted. "Marcus, Caius, look!"
Aro crooned. "Bella is alive after all, and Alice is here with her! Isn't that wonderful?" Neither of the
other two looked as if wonderful would be their first choice of words. The dark-haired man seemed
utterly bored, like he'd seen too many millennia of Aro's enthusiasm. The other'sface was sour under
the snowy hair. Their lack of interest did not curb Aro's enjoyment. "Let us have the story," Aro
almost sang in his feathery voice. The white-haired ancient vampire drifted away, gliding toward one
of the wooden thrones. The other paused beside Aro, and he reached his hand out, at first I thought
to take Aro's hand. But he just touched Aro's palm briefly and then dropped his hand to his side. Aro
raised one black brow. I wondered how his papery skin did not crumple in the effort. Edward snorted
very quietly, and Alice looked at him, curious. "Thank you, Marcus," Aro said. "That's quite
interesting." I realized, a second late, that Marcus was letting Aro know his thoughts. Marcus didn't
look interested. He glided away from Aro to join the one who must be Caius, seated against the wall.
Two of the attending vampires followed silently behind himbodyguards, like I'd thought before. I
could see that the two women in the sundresses had gone to stand beside Caius in the same manner.

LANGMASTER INTERNATIONAL
The idea of any vampire needing a guard was faintly ridiculous to me, but maybe the ancient ones
were as frail as their skin suggested. Aro was shaking his head. "Amazing,"' he said. "Absolutely
amazing." Alice's expression was frustrated. Edward turned to her and explained again in a swift,
low voice. "Marcus sees relationships. He's surprised by the intensity of ours." Aro smiled. "So
convenient," he repeated to himself. Then he spoke to us. "It takes quite a bit to surprise Marcus, I
can assure you." I looked at Marcus's dead face, and I believed that. "It's just so difficult to
understand, even now," Aro mused, staring at Edward's arm wrapped around me. It was hard for me
to follow Aro's chaotic train of thought. I struggled to keep up. "How can you stand so close to her
like that?" "It's not without effort," Edward answered calmly. "But stillla tua cantante! What a
waste!" Edward chuckled once without humor. "I look at it more as a price." Aro was skeptical. "A
very high price." "Opportunity cost." Aro laughed. "If I hadn't smelled her through your memories, I
wouldn't have believed the call of anyone's blood could be so strong. I've never felt anything like it
myself. Most of us would trade much for such a gift, and yet you" "Waste it," Edward finished, his
voice sarcastic now. Aro laughed again. "Ah, how I miss my friend Carlisle! You remind me of
himonly he was not so angry." "Carlisle outshines me in many other ways as well." "I certainly
never thought to see Carlisle bested for self-control of all things, but you put him to shame."
"Hardly." Edward sounded impatient. As if he were tired of the preliminaries. It made me more
afraid; I couldn't help but try to imagine what he expected would follow. "I am gratified by his
success," Aro mused. "Your memories of him are quite a gift for me, though they astonish me
exceedingly. I am surprised by how it pleases me, his success in this unorthodox path he's chosen.
I expected that he would waste, weaken with time. I'd scoffed at his plan to find others who would
share his peculiar vision. Yet, somehow, I'm happy to be wrong." Edward didn't reply. "But your
restraint!" Aro sighed. "I did not know such strength was possible. To inure yourself against such a
siren call, not just once but again and againif I had not felt it myself, I would not have believed."
Edward gazed back at Aro's admiration with no expression. I knew his face well enoughtime had
not changed thatto guess at something seething beneath the surface. I fought to keep my breathing
even. "Just remembering how she appeals to you" Aro chuckled. "It makes me thirsty." Edward
tensed. "Don't be disturbed," Aro reassured him. "I mean her no harm. But I am so curious, about
one thing in particular." He eyed me with bright interest. "May I?" he asked eagerly, lifting one
hand. "Ask her," Edward suggested in a flat voice. "Of course, how rude of me!" Aro exclaimed.
"Bella," he addressed me directly now. "I'm fascinated that you are the one exception to Edward's
impressive talentso very interesting that such a thing should occur! And I was wondering, since
our talents are similar in many ways, if you would be so kind as to allow me to tryto see if you are
an exception for me, as well?" My eyes flashed up to Edward's face in terror. Despite Aro's overt
politeness, I didn't believe I really had a choice. I was horrified at the thought of allowing him to
touch me, and yet also perversely intrigued by the chance to feel his strange skin. Edward nodded in
encouragementwhether because he was sure Aro would not hurt me, or because there was no
choice, I couldn't tell. I turned back to Aro and raised my hand slowly in front of me. It was
trembling. He glided closer, and I believe he meant his expression to be reassuring. But his papery
features were too strange, too alien and frightening, to reassure. The look on his face was more
confident than his words had been. Aro reached out, as if to shake my hand, and pressed his
insubstantial-looking skin against mine. It was hard, but felt brittleshale rather than graniteand
even colder than I expected. His filmy eyes smiled down at mine, and it was impossible to look
away. They were mesmerizing in an odd, unpleasant way. Aro's face altered as I watched. The

LANGMASTER INTERNATIONAL
confidence wavered and became first doubt, then incredulity before he calmed it into a friendly
mask. "So very interesting," he said as he released my hand and drifted back. My eyes flickered to
Edward, and, though his face was composed, I thought he seemed a little smug. Aro continued to
drift with a thoughtful expression. He was quiet for a moment, his eyes flickering between the three
of us. Then, abruptly, he shook his head. "A first," he said to himself "I wonder if she is immune to
our other talents Jane, dear?" "No!" Edward snarled the word. Alice grabbed his arm with a
restraining hand. He shook her off. Little Jane smiled up happily at Aro. "Yes, Master?" Edward was
truly snarling now, the sound ripping and tearing from him, glaring at Aro with baleful eyes. The
room had gone still, everyone watching him with amazed disbelief, as if he were committing some
embarrassing social faux pas. I saw Felix grin hopefully and move a step forward. Aroglanced at him
once, and he froze in place, his grin turning to a sulky expression. Then he spoke to Jane. "I was
wondering, my dear one, if Bella is immune to you." I could barely hear Aro over Edward's furious
growls. He let go of me, moving to hide me from their view. Caius ghosted in our direction, with his
entourage, to watch. Jane turned toward us with a beatific smile. "Don't!" Alice cried as Edward
launched himself at the little girl. Before I could react, before anyone could jump between them,
before Aro's bodyguards could tense, Edward was on the ground. No one had touched him, but he
was on the stone floor writhing in obvious agony, while I stared in horror. Jane was smiling only at
him now, and it all clicked together. What Alice had said about formidable gifts , why everyone
treated Jane with such deference, and why Edward had thrown himself in her path before she could
do that to me. "Stop!" I shrieked, my voice echoing in the silence, jumping forward to put myself
between them. But Alice threw her arms around me in an unbreakable grasp and ignored my
struggles. No sound escaped Edward's lips as he cringed against the stones. It felt like my head
would explode from the pain of watching this. "Jane," Aro recalled her in a tranquil voice. She
looked up quickly, still smiling with pleasure, her eyes questioning. As soon as Jane looked away,
Edward was still. Aro inclined his head toward me. Jane turned her smile in my direction. I didn't
even meet her gaze. I watched Edward from the prison of Alice's arms, still struggling pointlessly.
"He's fine," Alice whispered in a tight voice. As she spoke, he sat up, and then sprang lightly to his
feet. His eyes met mine, and they were horror-struck. At first I thought the horror was for what he
had just suffered. But then he looked quickly at Jane, and back to meand his face relaxed into
relief. I looked at Jane, too, and she no longer smiled. She glared at me, her jaw clenched with the
intensity of her focus. I shrank back, waiting for the pain. Nothing happened. Edward was by my
side again. He touched Alice's arm, and she surrendered me to him. Aro started to laugh. "Ha, ha.
ha," he chuckled. "This is wonderful!" Jane hissed in frustration, leaning forward like she was
preparing to spring. "Don't be put out, dear one," Aro said in a comforting tone, placing a powder-
light hand on her shoulder. "She confounds us all." Jane's upper lip curled back ever her teeth as she
continued to glare at me. "Ha, ha, ha," Aro chortled again. "You're very brave, Edward, to endure in
silence. I asked Jane to do that to me oncejust out of curiosity." He shook his head in admiration.
Edward glared, disgusted. "So what do we do with you now?" Aro sighed. Edward and Alice
stiffened. This was the part they'd been waiting for. I began to tremble. "I don't suppose there's any
chance that you've changed your mind?" Aro asked Edward hopefully. "Your talent would be an
excellent addition to our little company." Edward hesitated. From the corner of my eye, I saw both
Felix and Jane grimace. Edward seemed to weigh each word before he spoke it. "I'd rather not."
"Alice?" Aro asked, still hopeful. "Would you perhaps be interested in joining with us?" "No, thank
you," Alice said. "And you, Bella?" Aro raised his eyebrows. Edward hissed, low in my ears. I stared

LANGMASTER INTERNATIONAL
at Aro blankly. Was he joking? Or was he really asking me if I wanted to stay for dinner? It was the
white-haired Caius who broke the silence. "What?" he demanded of Aro; his voice, though no more
than a whisper, was flat. "Caius, surely you see the potential," Aro chided him affectionately. "I
haven't seen a prospective talent so promising since we found Jane and Alec. Can you imagine the
possibilities when she is one of us?" Caius looked away with a caustic expression. Jane's eyes
sparked with indignation at the comparison. Edward fumed beside me. I could hear a rumble in his
chest, building toward a growl. I couldn't let his temper get him hurt. "No, thank you," I spoke up in
barely more than a whisper, my voice breaking in fright. Aro sighed. "That's unfortunate. Such a
waste." Edward hissed. "Join or die, is that it? I suspected as much when we were brought to this
room. So much for your laws." The tone of his voice surprised me. He sounded irate, but there was
something deliberate about his deliveryas if he'd chosen his words with great care. "Of course
not." Aro blinked, astonished. "We were already convened here, Edward, awaiting Heidi's return.
Not for you." "Aro," Caius hissed. "The law claims them." Edward glared at Caius. "How so?" he
demanded. He must have known what Caius was thinking, but he seemed determined to make him
speak it aloud. Caius pointed a skeletal finger at me. "She knows too much. You have exposed our
secrets." His voice was papery thin, just like his skin. "There are a few humans in on your charade
here, as well," Edward reminded him, and I thought of the pretty receptionist below. Caius's face
twisted into a new expression. Was it supposed to be a smiled. "Yes," he agreed. "But when they are
no longer useful to us, they will serve to sustain us. That is not your plan for this one. If she betrays
our secrets, are you prepared to destroy her? I think not," he scoffed. "I wouldn't," I began, still
whispering. Caius silenced me with an icy look. "Nor do you intend to make her one of us," Caius
continued. "Therefore, she is a vulnerability. Though it is true, for this, only her life is forfeit. You
may leave if you wish." Edward bared his teeth. "That's what I thought," Caius said, with something
akin to pleasure. Felix leaned forward, eager. "Unless" Aro interrupted. He looked unhappy with
the way the conversation had gone. "Unless you do intend to give her immortality?" Edward pursed
his lips, hesitating for a moment before he answered. "And if I do?" Aro smiled, happy again. "Why,
then you would be free to go home and give my regards to my friend Carlisle." His expression
turned more hesitant. "But I'm afraid you would have to mean it." Aro raised his hand in front of
him. Caius, who had begun to scowl furiously, relaxed. Edward's lips tightened into a fierce line. He
stared into my eyes, and I stared back. "Mean it," I whispered. "Please." Was it really such a
loathsome idea? Would he rather die than change me? I felt like I'd been kicked in the stomach.
Edward stared down at me with a tortured expression. And then Alice stepped away from us,
forward toward Aro. We turned to watch her. Her hand was raised like his. She didn't say anything,
and Aro waved off his anxious guard as they moved to block her approach. Aro met her halfway,
and took her hand with an eager, acquisitive glint in his eyes. He bent his head over their touching
hands, his eyes closing as he concentrated. Alice was motionless, her face blank. I heard Edward's
teeth snap together. No one moved. Aro seemed frozen over Alice's hand. The seconds passed and I
grew more and more stressed, wondering how much time would pass before it was too much time.
Before it meant something was wrongmore wrong than it already was. Another agonizing moment
passed, and then Aro's voice broke the silence. "Ha, ha, ha," he laughed, his head still bent forward.
He looked up slowly, his eyes bright with excitement. "That was fascinating!" Alice smiled dryly.
"I'm glad you enjoyed it." "To see the things you've seenespecially the ones that haven't happened
yet!" He shook his head in wonder. "But that will," she reminded him, voice calm. "Yes, yes, it's
quite determined. Certainly there's no problem." Caius looked bitterly disappointeda feeling he

LANGMASTER INTERNATIONAL
seemed to share with Felix and Jane. "Aro," Caius complained. "Dear Caius," Aro smiled. "Do not
fret. Think of the possibilities! They do not join us today, but we can always hope for the future.
Imagine the joy young Alice alone would bring to our little household Besides, I'm so terribly
curious to see how Bella turns out!" Aro seemed convinced. Did he not realize how subjective
Alice's visions were.' That she could make up her mind to transform me today, and then change it
tomorrow? A million tiny decisions, her decisions and so many others', tooEdward'scould alter
her path, and with that, the future. And would it really matter that Alice was willing, would it make
any difference if I did become a vampire, when the idea was so repulsive to Edward? If death was, to
him, a better alternative than having me around forever, an immortal annoyance? Terrified as I was,
I felt myself sinking down into depression, drowning in it "Then we are free to go now?" Edward
asked in an even voice. "Yes, yes," Aro said pleasantly. "But please visit again. It's been absolutely
enthralling!" "And we will visit you as well," Caius promised, his eyes suddenly half-closed like the
heavy-lidded gaze of a lizard. "To be sure that you follow through on your side. Were I you, I would
not delay too long. We do not offer second chances." Edward's jaw clenched tight, but he nodded
once. Caius smirked and drifted back to where Marcus still sat, unmoving and uninterested. Felix
groaned. "Ah, Felix." Aro smiled, amused. "Heidi will be here at any moment. Patience." "Hmm."
Edward's voice had a new edge to it. "In that case, perhaps we'd better leave sooner rather than
later." "Yes," Aro agreed. "That's a good idea. Accidents do happen. Please wait below until after
dark, though, if you don't mind." "Of course," Edward agreed, while I cringed at the thought of
waiting out the day before we could escape. "And here," Aro added, motioning to Felix with one
finger. Felix came forward at once, and Aro unfastened the gray cloak the huge vampire wore,
pulling from his shoulders. He tossed it to Edward. "Take this. You're a little conspicuous." Edward
put the long cloak on, leaving the hood down. Aro sighed. "It suits you." Edward chuckled, but
broke off suddenly, glancing over his shoulder. "Thank you, Aro. We'll wait below." "Goodbye,
young friends," Aro said, his eyes bright as he stared in the same direction. "Let's go," Edward said,
urgent now. Demetri gestured that we should follow, and then set off the way we'd come in, the only
exit by the look of things. Edward pulled me swiftly along beside him. Alice was close by my other
side, her face hard. "Not fast enough," she muttered. I stared up at her, frightened, but she only
seemed chagrined. It was then that I first heard the babble of voicesloud, rough voicescoming
from the antechamber. "Well this is unusual," a man's coarse voice boomed. "So medieval," an
unpleasantly shrill, female voice gushed back. A large crowd was coming through the little door,
filling the smaller stone chamber. Demetri motioned for us to make room. We pressed back against
the cold wall to let them pass. The couple in front, Americans from the sound of them, glanced
around themselves with appraising eyes. "Welcome, guests! Welcome to Volterra!" I could hear Aro
sing from the big turret room. The rest of them, maybe forty or more, filed in after the couple. Some
studied the setting like tourists. A few even snapped pictures. Others looked confused, as if the story
that had led them to this room was not making sense anymore. I noticed one small, dark woman in
particular. Around her neck was a rosary, and she gripped the cross tightly in one hand. She walked
more slowly than the others, touching someone now and then and asking a question in an unfamiliar
language. No one seemed to understand her, and her voice grew more panicked. Edward pulled my
face against his chest, but it was too late. I already understood. As soon as the smallest break
appeared, Edward pushed me quickly toward the door. I could feel the horrified expression on my
face, and the tears beginning to pool in my eyes. The ornate golden hallway was quiet, empty except
for one gorgeous, statuesque woman. She stared at us curiously, me in particular. "Welcome home,

LANGMASTER INTERNATIONAL
Heidi," Demetri greeted her from behind us. Heidi smiled absently. She reminded me of Rosalie,
though they looked nothing alikeit was just that her beauty, too, was exceptional, unforgettable. I
couldn't seem to look away. She was dressed to emphasize that beauty. Her amazingly long legs,
darkened with tights, were exposed by the shortest of miniskirts. Her top was long-sleeved and high-
necked, but extremely close-fitting, and constructed of red vinyl. Her long mahogany hair was
lustrous, and her eyes were the strangest shade of violeta color that might result from blue-tinted
contacts over red irises. "Demetri," she responded in a silky voice, her eyes flickering between my
face and Edward's gray cloak. "Nice fishing," Demetri complimented her, and I suddenly understood
the attention-grabbing outfit she wore she was not only the fisherman, but also the bait. "Thanks."
She flashed a stunning smile. "Aren't you coming?" "In a minute. Save a few for me." Heidi nodded
and ducked through the door with one last curious look at me. Edward set a pace that had me
running to keep up. But we still couldn't get through the ornate door at the end of the hallway before
the screaming started.

Men will talk about feelings Was your guy raised as a traditional, stoic, man's man? If so, let
WebMD walk you through 18 relationship secrets, athered from psychologists who study gender
roles. Secret No. 1: It may be easier for your man to talk about feelings indirectly. Ask what he'd do
during a romantic weekend. Or what he thought the first time he met you. His answers will reveal
how he feels and bring you closer.

Men say "I love you" with actions Some men prefer to express their feelings through actions rather

than words. Your guy may say "I love you" by fixing things around the house, tidying up the yard, or
even taking out the trash -- anything that makes your world a better place.

Men take commitment seriously Men have a reputation for being afraid to commit. But the evidence
suggests men take marriage seriously. They may take longer to commit because they want to make
sure they are onboard for good. In a survey of currently married men, 90% say they would marry the
same woman again.

He really is listening When you're listening to someone talk, you probably pipe in with a "yes" or "I
see" every now and then. It's your way of saying, "I'm listening." But some guys don't do this. Just
because a man isn't saying anything doesn't mean he's not listening. He may prefer to listen quietly
and think about what you're saying.

Shared activities form bonds Men strengthen their relationships primarily through shared activities
more than by sharing thoughts or feelings. For many men, activities like sports and sex make them
feel closer to their partner.

Men need time for themselves While shared activities are important, men also need time for
themselves. Whether your guy enjoys golf, gardening, or working out at the gym, encourage him to
pursue his hobbies, while you make time for your own. When both partners have space to nurture
their individuality, they have more to give to each other.

Men learn from their fathers If you want to know how a man will act in a relationship, get to know
his dad. Some say men learn about their relationship role by watching and listening to their fathers.
How they are with each other and how the father relates to the mother can predict how a man will
relate to his wife.

Men let go faster than women Women tend to remember negative experiences longer and may have
lingering feelings of stress, anxiety, or sadness. In contrast, men are less likely to dwell on
unpleasant events and tend to move on more quickly. So while you may still want to talk about last
night's argument, your guy may have already forgotten about it.

Men don't pick up on subtle cues Men are more likely to miss subtle signals like tone of voice or
facial expressions. And they are especially likely to miss sadness on a woman's face. If you want to
make sure your guy gets the message, be direct.

Men respond to appreciation Showing appreciation for your guy can make a big difference in the

wives value their involvement and see them as competent.

Men think about sex ... a lot OK, so maybe this one is no secret. The majority of men under age 60
think about sex at least once a day, compared with only a quarter of women. And that's not all. Men
fantasize about sex nearly twice as often as women do, and their fantasies are much more varied.
They also think more about casual sex than women do. But thinking is not the same as doing.

Men find sex significant It's a myth that most men think sex is just sex. For many, sex is a very
important act between two committed people. And just like most women, men find sexual intimacy
to be most satisfying in the context of a committed relationship. One reason is that long-term
partners know how to please one another better than strangers do.

He likes it when you initiate sex Most guys feel as though they're the ones who always initiate sex.
But they also like to be pursued and wish their partner would take the lead more often. Don't be shy
about letting your guy know you're in the mood. Initiating sex some of the time may lead to a higher
level of satisfaction for both of you.

Guys aren't always up for sex Men, much to many women's surprise, aren't always in the mood for
sex. Just like women, men are often stressed by the demands of work, family, and paying the bills.
And stress is a big libido crusher. When a guy says, "not tonight," it doesn't mean he's lost interest in
you. He just means he doesn't want to have sex right then.

Men like pleasing their partner Your pleasure is important to your man. But he won't know what you
want unless you tell him. Too many women feel uncomfortable talking about what they like and
don't like. If you can tell him clearly in a way that doesn't bruise his ego, he'll listen. Because he
knows he'll feel good if you feel good.

Men may stray when needs aren't met If a man doesn't feel loved and appreciated in his relationship,
he may turn elsewhere for satisfaction. For one man, that may mean burying himself in work.
Another may develop a fixation on sports or video games. And some men cheat. To avoid this,
partners need to work together to meet each other's needs.

The Definition of a Stock

nh ngha v c phiu

Plain and simple, stock is a share in the ownership of a company. Stock represents a claim on the
company's assets and earnings. As you acquire more stock, your ownership stake in the company
becomes greater. Whether you say shares, equity, or stock, it all means the same thing.

Being an Owner

L ch s hu

Holding a company's stock means that you are one of the many owners (shareholders) of a company
and, as such, you have a claim (albeit usually very small) to everything the company owns. Yes, this
means that technically you own a tiny sliver of every piece of furniture, every trademark, and every
contract of the company. As an owner, you are entitled to your share of the company's earnings as
well as any voting rights attached to the stock.

A stock is represented by a stock certificate. This is a fancy piece of paper that is proof of your
ownership. In today's computer age, you won't actually get to see this document because your
brokerage keeps these records electronically, which is also known as holding shares "in street name".
This is done to make the shares easier to trade. In the past, when a person wanted to sell his or her
shares, that person physically took the certificates down to the brokerage. Now, trading with a click
of the mouse or a phone call makes life easier for everybody.

Being a shareholder of a public company does not mean you have a say in the day-to-day running of
the business. Instead, one vote per share to elect the board of directors at annual meetings is the
extent to which you have a say in the company. For instance, being a Microsoft shareholder doesn't
mean you can call up Bill Gates and tell him how you think the company should be run. In the same
line of thinking, being a shareholder of Anheuser Busch doesn't mean you can walk into the factory
and grab a free case of Bud Light!

The management of the company is supposed to increase the value of the firm for shareholders. If
this doesn't happen, the shareholders can vote to have the management removed, at least in theory. In
reality, individual investors like you and I don't own enough shares to have a material influence on
the company. It's really the big boys like large institutional investors and billionaire entrepreneurs
who make the decisions

For ordinary shareholders, not being able to manage the company isn't such a big deal. After all, the
idea is that you don't want to have to work to make money, right? The importance of being a
shareholder is that you are entitled to a portion of the company's profits and have a claim on assets.
Profits are sometimes paid out in the form of dividends. The more shares you own, the larger the
portion of the profits you get. Your claim on assets is only relevant if a company goes bankrupt. In
case of liquidation, you'll receive what's left after all the creditors have been paid. This last point is
worth repeating: the importance of stock ownership is your claim on assets and earnings. Without
this, the stock wouldn't be worth the paper it's printed on.

Another extremely important feature of stock is its limited liability, which means that, as an owner
of a stock, you are not personally liable if the company is not able to pay its debts. Other companies
such as partnerships are set up so that if the partnership goes bankrupt the creditors can come after
the partners (shareholders) personally and sell off their house, car, furniture, etc. Owning stock
means that, no matter what, the maximum value you can lose is the value of your investment. Even
if a company of which you are a shareholder goes bankrupt, you can never lose your personal assets.

Debt vs. Equity

V v Vn c ng

Why does a company issue stock? Why would the founders share the profits with thousands of
people when they could keep profits to themselves? The reason is that at some point every company
needs to raise money. To do this, companies can either borrow it from somebody or raise it by
selling part of the company, which is known as issuing stock. A company can borrow by taking a
loan from a bank or by issuing bonds. Both methods fit under the umbrella of debt financing. On the
other hand, issuing stock is called equity financing. Issuing stock is advantageous for the company
because it does not require the company to pay back the money or make interest payments along the
way. All that the shareholders get in return for their money is the hope that the shares will someday
be worth more than what they paid for them. The first sale of a stock, which is issued by the private
company itself, is called the initial public offering (IPO).

LANGMASTER INTERNATIONAL
It is important that you understand the distinction between a company financing through debt and
financing through equity. When you buy a debt investment such as a bond, you are guaranteed the
return of your money (the principal) along with promised interest payments. This isn't the case with
an equity investment. By becoming an owner, you assume the risk of the company not being
successful - just as a small business owner isn't guaranteed a return, neither is a shareholder. As an
owner, your claim on assets is less than that of creditors. This means that if a company goes
bankrupt and liquidates, you, as a shareholder, don't get any money until the banks and bondholders
have been paid out; we call this absolute priority. Shareholders earn a lot if a company is successful,
but they also stand to lose their entire investment if the company isn't successful.

Risk

It must be emphasized that there are no guarantees when it comes to individual stocks. Some
companies pay out dividends, but many others do not. And there is no obligation to pay out
dividends even for those firms that have traditionally given them. Without dividends, an investor can
make money on a stock only through its appreciation in the open market. On the downside, any
stock may go bankrupt, in which case your investment is worth nothing.

Although risk might sound all negative, there is also a bright side. Taking on greater risk demands a
greater return on your investment. This is the reason why stocks have historically outperformed
other investments such as bonds or savings accounts. Over the long term, an investment in stocks has
historically had an average return of around 10-12%.
