What is a GMO?

A Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) is a plant, animal or microorganism whose genetic code has been altered, subtracted, or added (either from the same species or a different species) in order to give it characteristics that it does not have naturally.
(基因改造生物可以是植物、動物或微生物，而這些生物的基因可能替換或是移除或加入了同物種或不同物種的基因，從而改變它們，讓它們擁有生不俱來的特性。)

Scientists can now transfer genes between species that otherwise would be incapable of mating, for example, a goat and a spider. This is what we call transgenesis. Little is known about the long-term effects of such manipulations on both humans and the environment. And while some see GMOs as the way to the future, others believe that scientists have gone too far, tinkering with the essence of life.
(現在的科學已經可以做到不同物種之間(無法交配授精)的基因移植，比如說 羊與蜘蛛，此稱之為 transgenesis 。這些基改長期下來對於人與環境將可能造成什麼樣的影響? 目前所知不多。有一部份的人認為 GMOs 是將來發展的方向，但也有另一部份人認為這樣的科學發展太過激進，違反了生命的原生構成要素，恐有不好的影響。)


These goats have a gene of the Orb spider. They produce spider silk in their milk.
(擁有 Orb spider 基因的羊，它們分泌的乳汁裏也含有蜘蛛的絲。)

spider : 蜘蛛 (電影 spider man : 蜘蛛人)
不知道什麼是 Orb spider … 我用 google 找了一下，好像有人翻作 球蛛 。

我也用 google video 找到了它們的影片…

也 找了 orb spider 的圖

(蜘蛛不是昆蟲哦，蜘蛛是節肢動物哦，是好的生物，不是害蟲，可以為家裏抓小蟲、蚊子之類的吃，只是結的網看了比較不乾淨~ 不過我倒是認為還蠻藝術的啦~)

Left-foot Braking 前驅車高速過彎轉向不足時的應用

另外… 來個說明… 什麼是 understeer 與 oversteer ?
中文就是 轉向不足 與 轉向過度 啦。

Left-foot braking is primarily used in front-wheel-drive cars and comes in handy during cornering at high speeds.

A severe problem affecting most front-drivers is understeer during fast cornering. Understeer generally means that during cornering at a high speed, the car has a tendency to keep moving straight and to the outer edge of the curving road rather than the direction in which you are pointing the car. To cancel out understeer, there should be more grip at the front wheels than at the rear. The left-foot braking technique more or less helps you to do just that.

When approaching a corner, you should start slowing down like you normally do, using your right foot to apply the brake. At this point, you can use the heel-and-toe maneuver and downshift to the proper gear. Now, you should move your right foot over to the accelerator and your left foot to the brake at the same time. You are now ready to perform left-foot braking. Continue slowing the car down to a reasonable - but not too low - speed by applying the brakes with your left foot. As you are about to turn into the corner, hit the gas with your right foot and keep braking with your left foot at the same time. Being a front-wheel-drive, the rear wheels will lock while the front wheels keep moving. The car's weight is transferred to the front, causing the front wheels to have more grip than the rear wheels. The car now starts to oversteer.

Now you have to keep the car in control by steering in the direction that you want to go, and applying more or less throttle and braking as needed. You have to use both your pedals at the same time, which will take practice. Lifting off the accelerator will cause more oversteer and flip out the car's rear even more. Applying more throttle while easing off the brakes will reduce oversteer and straighten out the car. Keep performing this balancing act to smoothly clear the corner at high speed, all the while making little corrections to your steering. At the end of the corner, just floor it and power out.

When you get good at this technique, you should be able to just keep the accelerator completely floored and keep the car moving in your preffered direction using just your brake pedal and steering wheel. Understeer is eliminated if done correctly and you clear the corner at a higher speed than in normal driving. The trick is to keep practicing braking with the left foot and learn to apply the brakes as well with the left foot as with the right.

With a typical race-car gearbox, you can even start your initial braking with your left foot instead of your right without having to use the clutch pedal. When braking, you can blip the throttle between the gear change. Most normal gearboxes cannot cope with such abuse and so it is generally better not to even think about trying such a move with your commuter car unless you have deep pockets to foot the resulting repair bill! Also keep in mind that many upmarket cars are equipped with computer-controlled stability systems that will help you to safely keep a car in control during high speed cornering. But with practice, you can control a car better with the stability system turned off and turn at an even higher speed.

關於 波斯 … 我節錄一小段自維基百科…
波斯和伊朗

自從前600年開始，希臘人把這一地區叫做「波斯」。這個名稱來自於波斯的一個地區帕斯（Pars）。直到1935年，歐洲人一直使用波斯來稱呼這個地區和位於這一地區的國家。而波斯人則從薩珊王朝開始稱呼自己的國家為「伊朗」，意為「雅利安人的家園」。

1935年，波斯國王禮薩·汗宣佈國際上該國應被稱作「伊朗」。但波斯一詞在這之後還有人使用。

在中文裡，「波斯」被用於描述1935年之前的事，或該民族從古就有的事物，如波斯語和波斯地毯。現代政治、經濟等事物則用「伊朗」一詞。
