美國一項近20年的心理學研究發現,嘮叨並不是壞事,
研究人員指出,與男性相比,
女性嘮叨的內容無非就是把快樂告訴別人,你的快樂就會加倍;
另外,嘮叨還能讓人少生病。研究指出:

臺鐵局TR-PASS寒暑假期間開放國內學生使用
臺鐵局為配合行政院青年輔導委員會「推動國際青年學生來臺旅遊措施」,已於95年12月起針對外籍青年學生發行有TR-PASS,專供外籍青年學生於票面有效期間內,不限次數搭乘復興號以下車種「慢」遊臺灣。
為提倡國人鐵道旅遊風氣及提供青少年學生正當休閒活動管道,臺鐵局將於本(98)學年度暑假期間(
一、票種/票價:
(一)5日票/599元。
(二)7日票/799元。
(三)10日票/1,098元(限外籍學生購買)。
二、搭乘車種:
於票面有效期限內得不限次數搭乘莒光號(含)以下車種,惟搭乘復興號及莒光號時不予劃位。
三、發售車站:
初期配合臺鐵局新型售票機建置進度,於臺東、花蓮、羅東、宜蘭、基隆、松山、臺北、萬華、板橋、樹林、桃園、中壢、新竹、竹南、苗栗、豐原、臺中、彰化、員林、田中、斗六、嘉義、新營、臺南、新左營、高雄及屏東等27大站發售,預計於98年底即可於各電腦售票站發售(十分、平溪、菁桐、竹東、九讚頭、內灣、濁水、水里等8站除外)。
四、購票證件:
(一)外國籍學生:
外國籍護照+國際學生證(或青輔會發行之國際版青年旅遊卡)。
(二)本國籍學生:
僅須持經教育部認可之國內學校有效學生證即可。
五、預售期間:
考量本國籍學生及外國籍學生居住地域性之差異性及購票之便利性,預售時間區分有:
(一)外國籍:
乘車日前7日。(例如
(二)本國籍:乘車日前3日。
TR-PASS票價低廉,有效期間內不限搭乘次數,學生旅客可依個人喜好,參考交通部觀光局網址(http://www.taiwan.net.tw/)及其所屬13處國家風景區管理處所提供之各項觀光旅遊資訊,或利用本局花東線車站之旅遊資訊系統,自由安排行程景點。臺鐵局歡迎青年學生以最經濟實惠之價格及節能減碳之行動,以不同的旅遊方式,「慢」遊臺灣城鄉、體驗臺灣之美。
LOHAS概念風行,消費者對環保意識的需求也提高。全家即日起開始「回收廢電池換點心」的獨家新服務;7-ELEVEn推出環保包材的光合舒果昔。
全家便利商店即日起長期展開,回收廢電池兌換鮮食點心的便民服務。總經理張仁敦表示,廢電池回收採秤重方式,包括乾電池、手機電池等,每半公斤可兌換1顆茶葉蛋、每公斤可換1個布丁或麵包等,目前共有四種點心可選。
7-ELEVEn落實LOHAS與健康的想法在商品上,自有品牌明天將推出新品Smoothie光合舒果昔飲料。Smoothie採常溫配送,有助於減少碳排放量;包裝用可回收環保紙包材。
飲料商品經理張弘琦表示,去年飲料市場呈小幅衰退,蔬果汁、常溫果汁、豆米漿等飲品卻逆勢上揚。因應健康趨勢,推出天然果泥製成100%果汁的Smoothie,不添加砂糖,每款有5種水果調配;口感類似奶昔。每瓶售30元,即日至3月24日有9折優惠。
Harvard University and IBM have launched a project to harness the computing muscle of thousands of computers to discover cheap solar energy materials.
The initiative, announced Monday, is part of the IBM-sponsored World Community Grid, which seeks to speed up research on humanitarian challenges with a grid of connected computers.
The idea is that people and organizations donate computing time to these efforts. A grid server doles out tasks to disparate machines to speed up computational jobs.
IBM also said that it will test running the grid software on an internal compute cloud to tap idle time.
Existing World Community Grid projects are aimed at developing a more nutritious rice as well as conducting cancer and AIDS research. The Harvard project wants to test the chemical properties of a number of organic materials with the aim of determining which are most promising for use as solar cells.
An example of organic solar cells. Konarka makes the plastic cells in a roll-to-roll printing process. Because they are flexible and relatively cheap to make, they can be used in tents, solar chargers, or even clothing.
(Credit: Martin LaMonica/CNET Networks)The advantage of organic solar cells is that they are much cheaper to manufacture than traditional silicon and are flexible and lightweight. Some kinds can make electricity with a broader spectrum of light, including indoor light.
On the other hand, these cells aren't as efficient at converting light to electricity and they degrade more quickly.
By parsing out the the computing research across several computers, Harvard researcher Alan Aspuru-Guzik said that the project can be completed in 2 years. Using a traditional supercomputer cluster to run the analysis would take 22 years.
"It would take us about 100 days of computational time to screen each of the thousands of compounds for electronic properties without the power of World Community Grid," he said in a statement.
The World Community Grid is tailored to public and nonprofit organizations but IBM has a number of projects in solar and the energy business.
Its commercial research group has three solar-related programs, including the development of thin-film solar cells from CIGS (a combination of copper, indium, gallium, and selenide) and technology to manufacture solar concentrators.
IBM is also very active in developing smart grid software and services for electric utilities.
