A space-order paragragh

There is a castle at the right side of this picture, and the castle is Nagoya, Japan. I like this picture, the castle have five floors, and it gives me a dignified, splendid, and awful feel, a splendid castle usually symbolizes power and rich. The base of the castle is very high, so the castle looks more magnificent. At that time, there often came a lot of invaders, so monarchs built their castle higher and higher. The roof of the castle is Chinese style, because the culture of the Tang Dynasty had been introduced to Japan at that time. And the tiling, small windows, and the high walls gain the castle some mysterious color.
There is some tree at the left side of the picture. The tree in front of the picture is deciduous, there is no leaf on the treetop, and it makes a contrast to the awful castle. The tree gives people a depressed feel, not splendid. Furthermore, the tree is closer to us than the castle, just like the civilians are by our side and the privilege are unfamiliar to us. The trees in the background of the picture are thick and diversiform, not only make the picture flourish, but also symbolize the future of the empire is wonderful, eternal, and holy.In ancient Japan, the power of an empire centralize to the monarch, just as ancient Chinese, so there was always a high castle in the center of a village, the picture is a good example. Some castle still stands now, most of they are considered as scenic spots, the castle in this picture is one of them.

5 Foods That Fix Bad Breath

Last night, the tacos smothered in onions were great, but this morning your breath could fell a sumo wrestler. What to do? When your breath has been turned toxic by smelly foods -- usually garlic, onions, or curry, but fish and cheese can do a number too -- you need an air freshener for your mouth. And often: every 30 to 60 minutes until whatever it is has cleared out of your bloodstream, which sometimes can take up to 24 hours. Since brushing constantly is impossible, try countering offending foods with what's likely to be handiest: other foods.
1. Lemons. Suck on a lemon wedge or nibble on the rind -- easy to do in restaurants, where there's often a citrus garnish and if not, you can order sparkling water with lemon. For other times, lemon-flavored hard candies work just as well and are totally portable.
2. Parsley and other green garnishes. When your favorite garlic-laden pasta dish or onion-topped burger arrives with a few sprigs of parsley on the side, consider it a hint, not just eye appeal. Chewing on the sprigs afterward releases parsley's pleasant, breath-freshening oils. Garnishes of fresh basil and rosemary work too.
3. Apples and other crisp-fresh foods (firm pears, carrots, jicama). They're high in fiber, all that chewing ups saliva production, and the combo acts like a scrubbing rinse for your mouth. Sweet.
3. Crunchy spices. For a more exotic solution, pick up some anis, cardamom, coriander, and/or fennel seeds in your grocery's spice aisle. Mix equal parts in a small covered bowl and keep on the dining room table next to the salt and pepper. Chewing on a few seeds will release enough oils to sweeten after-dinner curry or coffee breath. And your mouth will taste amazing.
4. Mint sprigs or cinnamon sticks. Either of these deliciously potent flavors will squelch the sulphurous scent of onion or garlic. Plus, an essential oil in cinnamon kills a nasty type of oral bacteria, should they be aiming to set up house in your mouth. Cinnamon or mint gums are just as effective. If you pick a gum sweetened with Xylitol, it will freshen breath and help reduce cavities -- smart if you're a gum lover. Bonus: Long-term good oral care can actually make your RealAge more than 6 years younger.
5. Berries and yogurt. If you can't get through most days without indulging in foods that are hardly breath-friendly, eat for prevention -- even better than a cure. Consuming a half-cup of plain, sugar-free yogurt twice a day can lower mouth levels of hydrogen sulfide (yes, that rotten egg smell). Berries (and melons, oranges, and other fruits high in vitamin C) also deter stinky mouth bacteria. Start and end the day with a fruit cup topped with a big dollop of yogurt and you might never have to worry about bad breath again.

Metamorphoses

I read two stories the other day, written by Ovid, a Roman writer born in the year after Julius's assassination. Both of the two stories came from the epic, Metamorphoses.
One is Apollo and Daphne. Cupid shoots Apollo with his arrow and makes him fall madly in love with nymph, Daphne. However, it is Diana, standing for virginity and freedom, whom she emulates. When Apollo pursues her, she flees and does not halt-not even when he pleads. And then the young God loses his patience and wastes no time to chase his prey. Daphne is fast but Apollo is faster. Just when he is at her shoulders, she runs to her father, a river God, for help. So the river God turns his lovely daughter into a laurel.
The other story is Io and Jove.(Jove is like Zeus in Greek) Jove catches sight of a beautiful nymph, Io. She is frightened and flees away from him. But powerful Jove stops powerless Io's flight; he rapes chaste Io. Meanwhile, Juno, wife of Jove, is passing by. For fear that jealous Juno may find out his treachery, Jove immediately turns Io into a heifer. What's worse? Juno asks the lovely heifer as a gift. And she has Argus(the hundred-eye giant who never sleeps with all his eyes closed) to be Io's guardian because she still suspects treachery. Io is now a human soul within an animal's body. What a torture! Jove cannot endure his Io's suffering no more and he summons Mercury and instructs him to murder Argus. And so does Mercury killed Argus. But now Juno is full of rage and strikes Io at once. Juno hurts Io and drives the frightened girl across the world-a fugitive. Jove pleads his wife and promises that Io would cause no harm to her again. So with the goddess' rage appeased, Io regains her form she had before. She was as lovely as before, except the whiteness of her flesh. And after all the suffering, poor Io becomes a celebrated goddess, revered by crowds clothed in white linen: Isis.
For me, the two story show the oppression of the powerful on the powerless. The world is never fair.

Hippocrates Oath

Several parts of the Oath have been removed or re-worded over the years invarious countries, schools, and societies but the Oath still remains one ofthe few elements of medicine that have remained unchanged. Most schoolsadminister some form of oath, but the great majority no longer use thisancient version, which praises pagan gods, advocates teaching of men but notwomen, and forbids cutting, abortion, and euthanasia.1 Also missing from theancient Oath and many modern versions are complex, new ethical landmines suchas dealing with HMO's, living wills, whether morning-after pills aretechnically closer to prophylactics or an abortion (they are different fromRU-486), experiments on humans who give informed consent, or geneticresearch. Some doctors prefer to drop all pretenses of swearing an oath orforcing others to do so, since medical boards and courtrooms are the realforces where unethical conduct is judged today. Following is a listing of thespecific promises and a modern perspective:

To support my teacher if necessary. Professional courtesy (not chargingfamilies of physicians for one's services) is perhaps the last trace of thisitem and has largely been abandoned.

To teach medicine to the sons of my teacher. In the past, medical schoolswould give preferential consideration to the children of physicians. This toohas largely disappeared.

To practice and prescribe to the best of my ability for the good of mypatients, and to try to avoid harming them. This beneficial intention is thepurpose of the physician. However, this item is still invoked in discussionsof euthanasia.

To never deliberately do harm to anyone for anyone else's interest. Physicianorganizations in the U.S. and most other countries have strongly denouncedphysician participation in legal executions.

To never attempt to induce an abortion. The wide availability of abortions inmuch of the world suggests that many physicians no longer feel bound by this.

To avoid violating the morals of my community. Many licensing agencies willrevoke a physician's license for offending the morals of the community("moral turpitude").

To avoid attempting to do things that other specialists can do better. The"stones" referred to are kidney stones or bladder stones, removal of whichwas judged too difficult for general practitioners, and therefore was leftfor specialists. It is interesting how early the value of specialization wasrecognized. The range of knowledge and skills needed for the range of humanproblems has always made it impossible for any single physician to maintainexpertise in all areas.

To keep the good of the patient as the highest priority. There may be otherconflicting "good purposes," such as community welfare, conserving economicresources, supporting the criminal justice system, or simply making money forthe physician or his employer that provide recurring challenges to physicians.

To avoid sexual relationships or other inappropriate entanglements withpatients and families. The value of avoiding conflicts of interest has neverbeen questioned.

To keep confidential what I learn about my patients. Confidentialitycontinues to be valued and protected, but governments and third-party payorshave occasionally encroached upon it.
