I've just heard of Dr. Samantha Nutt, who is actually still young. I highly respect her efforts.

Canada is usually kinetically engaged in the NATO-related military operations overseas.

It seems that this country's military forces are constantly trained in the field, proportional to the modesty of the nation's power.

It's impossible not to get laughed at. But what distinguishes people around you is who laughs at you and who helps you.

The houses and streets are static. You can't get many ideas by looking at them with your naked eye.

In contrast, the life in those houses and streets is dynamic. You can get lots of ideas by peering at it with your mind's eye, with the help of words and formulas.

In that afternoon, I moped about the Sherbrooke street.

The Great Mogul empire (a.k.a. Mughal Empire), which was Muslim, ruled much of India from the 16th to the 19th century.

I guess many of the descendants of its people are in Pakistan now.

When a guy uses 'email missive' instead of 'email message' in a software book he writes, you know he's kind of showing off he's a learned man.

It may take more than a decade for the mind of a typical amateur English learner who is also rooted in mainland China, after his or her graduation from university, to traverse almost the entire set of commonly used English words, which every native speaker with some higher education is familiar with.

Is there a higher percentage of cancer cases among the human population nowadays than in past decades?

I've encountered personally, heard of, or read about more and more people who got invaded by various cancers.

What a bunch of cozeners Russian political leaders are! Especially Mr. Putin.

I feel that badges and coats of arms in the West are exquisite in general.

西方文化的線索，不容易釐清。

Many people are in thrall to routine life trajectories which eventually lead to more confinement of their liberty down the road, I've observed. Routine life paths lead to routine life achievements, reasonably.

Those people are sort of afraid of thinking out of the box and then acting in accordance with that thinking.

I often see men with retro hippie looks on streets and screens in Canada. What do they think really?

I'm curious about that, against the backdrop of the current era.

I don't know. It seems that many Canadian biz tycoons are not on a par with their American counterparts.

For instance, the two Co-CEOs of RIM, which has been claimed throughout this country as the brightest tech company in Canada after the collapse of Nortel.

On the other hand, in sharp contrast, many Canadian political moguls are on a par with their American counterparts, for example, the late Jack Layton, and Stephen Harper, they shine with the grace of modesty and sound judgement in many occasions.

Just my current personal impressions.

They say providing the liquid transferring, or liquidity, of financial capital is a crucial thing.

I think that particular service of providing, which is what the banking firms do day in and day out, should be made easier for more identities, both organizations and individuals, to take part in.

But maybe I'm wrong.

Any business has to earn a spread in every single deal, in order to survive. It's as simple as that. But not all prospects, especially those driven by sheer greed, understand that.

Some syntactic sugar wastes developers' time.

最怕就是 無感。

Personally I think that the phrase 'J-school', which stands for Journalism school, sounds cool.
