Jorunna parva

            Jorunna parva was discovered by the famous Japanese malacologist kikutaro Baba in March 1937. Today, they have found in South Korea, Japan, Philippines, Indonesia, China Nanhai, Papua New Guinea, Australia, South Africa, Seychelles and Tanzania etc.Although they are widely distributed, it is not easy to find them in the colourful coral reef because they have petite stature. Their body length is generally 20~40 mm, width is about 10 ~ 20 mm.
            Jorunna parva has slender body and their dorsal part of body has a pair of ear like small stick, it called rhinophore which is a chemoreceptor. As a nudibranch species, their dorsal part of body's gill imaging that a kind of "small tail" instead of their ctenidium. In our impression, Jorunna parva should be black and white but most of them are deep yellow to dark brown only a few of them are black and white.
            Jorunna parva hide themselves as a true of gastropod animal-- they also have a muscular foot, foot's single cell mucous glands can secrete mucus which allow the body to slide forward. In front of the ventral also has a pair of long tentacles and the middle of the tentacles is their mouth which has many tongue horny teeth for scraping their favorite sponge.
            In the feeding process, some of them like eat food containing certain compounds and accumulation of toxins from food using as a chemical defense.Some will be use secondary metabolites in food by biotransformation in body producing more effective antifeedant. Some can also synthesize some compounds for self-perpetuating.
            In order to support two sets of reproductive system and let it work normally and continuously produce sperm and eggs, Jorunna parva has to store enough energy. So they only appeared in the food rich areas enabling them to get enough energy to afford the huge energy consumption.

If painful terminal patients wants to give up his life, should I encourage him to hold on?-shouldn't(1)

            Today's topic tests everyone's attitude about the lives of others.I can understand that when we facing a loved one died our mind have a strong attachment and unwilling abandon.However, do you think this is a selfless desire? This is a very selfish thing because everyone came to this world and we should accompany each other, but we don't have qualified to ask others to live for us even if one second.We should not use our attachment and love to kidnap someone else's life.If one day my life really came to the end of the journey, I hope that people who around me isn't cheering.I hope that the people who around me can be quiet in my final journey.
            As Yingtai Long(the author of gaze after) said in her book:As a father and daughter or mother and son, this means that your fate is just looking at his dim figure in this life.You stand at the end of the path, slowly watching him disappear in the corner of the road.And he used his whole life to tell you three words - do not chase.

If painful terminal patients wants to give up his life, should I encourage him to hold on?-should(1)

        Today, we are not going to deprive a person's right which about control themselves life or death, we are talking about under these circumstances you encouraged or not.When your relatives are terminal patients, he told you that I want to go, this is what kind of state? Have you ever considered one of the reasons is that he is not without the will to live, he can stand the pain, but he is afraid of the next course of treatment.Have you ever thought about that your encouragement might give him the courage to survive.Now the patient is just afraid of the next treatment, why can't you encourage him?
        There is the other common case, a lot of terminal patients especially sick for a long time, he wants to give up the reason is that he is afraid to drag you down.He was afraid that no one would take care of him.He was afraid that you will dislike him.He was afraid that he would lose his dignity when he died.What you need to do is, if you really don't think it's a burden, you really think I want you to stay, why don't you tell him? Do you know that in this case you hold back the sound of his departure, it's a misunderstanding.He is afraid of you think that he is a burden, you are silent, he will leave just because of this misunderstanding.If we say that a family or a relationship is separated for misunderstanding, we will feel heartache, and now you are facing life.What do you think of this life's died?

Liguus virgineus

     Liguus virgineus, was known as the Candy Cane Snail,is a kind of
air-breathing land snail which lives in the tree and breathes on the lungs, so they also called the tree snail.They lived only in the Caribbean (in Haiti, Dominic) and at the mountains of eastern Cuba.There are some live records which was found in Florida in recent decades.They feed on moss and fungi covering on the bark.Their conical shell about 30-60 mm long and they have smooth, thin and strong surface.Candy Cane Snail's living environment is extremely demanding, so they only appeared in these areas.

        The holes in their shell which with pale red edge is purple with white or dark gray.The shell roof is white, purple or black.White background color of the shell rounds the colorful bands and gradual color area.The shell of infant and newborn is yellowish green, mature shell is bluish grey.With life and time gradually fades, gorgeous color stripes will gradually fade or flaking.
        Biologists believe that candy cane snail's beauty which like flower and fruit may becomes a defense strategy, using this way they can confuse the predators such as Rostrhamus sociabilis. They are not the favorite food of birds and have low probability hunting before humans found their beauty.
        Although the distribution range of the liguus tree snail is narrow, the human activity which in origin area of nearly a hundred years is relatively moderate, so it makes this species survived.However, more and more colorful snail collectors and demanding trade of shellfish handicraft caused a huge impact for the amount of the snails.Today, many areas have banned this kind of tree snail collection and sales.Now, in addition to scientific research, people exiting with the Cuban candy snails will violate Cuban's law.A forest destruction can make tree snail disappeared, they are beautiful and fragile, so we need to protect them.

Talking about plastic surgery(2)

       When we talk about plastic surgery, most of us consciously resist, right? So let's think about what are we resisting? Having lots of money is a good thing, but is it a good thing that we having it overnight? We have too much examples which buy a lottery ticket having 5 million dollars and broke few years after.Having a great reputation is a good thing, but is it a good thing that we become famous overnight? There are too many young people who became famous overnight prostrated forever in entertainment business.It shows that the sudden happiness, often not too long.So, it's a good thing to grow beautiful, but is it a good thing to be beautiful overnight? I don't think so.When a great gift with giant fast down on you, do you sure you can firmly catch it?
       For me, I will ask myself three questions.Can I hold someone else? When you have money, someone may rub your money.When you are famous, someone may rub your fame.Also, when you become beautiful, someone may rub your beauty.Face of this sudden change of interpersonal relationship, we may feel confused.
       Can I hold myself? Our impression of the upstart is not good, because they have unlimited expansion of confidence with rich and easily impulsive consumption spending billions of dollars.Then suddenly become beautiful, will we impulse consumption of beauty? Will we take too much opportunities which do not belong to us? Or we may have too many love which do not belong to us.I hold the belief that human beings can resist everything except temptation.At the very beginning, few people would say that the whole face will have plastic surgery,it start with a little bit.At first it was a double fold eyelid, and then found that the nose did not match, after is the mouth and chin.When you have a perfect face, you found that your chest seems imperfect.This is called cosmetic dependence.However, people who start a plastic surgery will not feel sick, everyone feels that they can control themselves.I'm a bit pessimistic about human nature, and I'm not optimistic about this self-righteousness.
       Can I hold the time? Natural beauty will fade, but cosmetic beauty will collapse.Ugly people know the taste of ugly, so that kind of panic which will return to ugly and anxiety will be accompanied by their lives.In general, I haven't objection to your right to have plastic surgery, but I hope you have had enough thought before you do it.

Talking about plastic surgery(1)

    Let's think about one thing first: if you love some Korean star who very handsome for you, even if some stars you know that they may be have already had an operation on their face.You still like them, right?An interesting thing is that you will hate some friends who you very familiar and as ugly as you, then they making the cosmetic become beautiful.You will dislike this behavior.So that's why I said that plastic surgery is not a problem, the jealousy of people who don't have surgery is the cause of your cosmetic unrecognized.
    How does this jealousy come from?Will you envy Bill Gates for the money?It seems incorrect because he always has more money than you.However, if your friends who as poor as you, suddenly he becomes a millionaire.You will say something like money cannot buy happiness or money cannot buy family harmony.Actually it can, how many couples quarrel just because of money.If this think is reasonable, we will tell you that you should envy of plastic surgery.It's like the exam cheating, it should be attacked.But should the plastic surgery be attacked?
     If you were born beautiful and DNA is better than me, must you be more noble than me use technology? Why natural beauty is more beautiful than cosmetic beauty, or why it has more qualified in self-confidence? That's very strange, I was born with qualified, but I don't have it with plastic surgery.
     I was discriminated because of ugliness and I wanted to change the status through plastic surgery.However,I cannot say to anyone, because plastic surgery will let me continue to be discriminated.Why this world has So much malice?
    We can't blame the abuse of cosmetic surgery, everyone has their own little dark side.Sometimes abusing is enough, it can't be the reason that you disagree with plastic surgery.
