This blog is partly devoted to the sharing of my learning of the English language (my well mastered mother tongue is Chinese and I am not an English teacher) and its *cultures*, partly to the current significant trends in Canada and in the world, and partly to my own random thoughts and little life. I am not religious, but I am somewhat interested in Christianity and Buddhism, among other personal interests. Welcome. And, have a good day.

Fashionistas are sophisticated in their dressing. That's for sure.
But the sad situation is, sophistication only exists in fashion for many of them. "What you see is what you get" is not a compliment. Especially for men. Even the young ones.

Let's parse the function "parseInt", which appears in both Java and JavaScript.
>
> parseInt(12.5);
12
>
In the above little example, 12.5 is not an Int, but is a float. On the other hand, the return value 12 is an Int.
So, a more accurate name for the function would be "parseToInt."

The raging torrent of new technologies has successfully kept many people perpetually burning the midnight oil.

When I want to take a look at what is contained in each of the files in a given directory, I just type "more *" on the Linux command line.
And presto, they appear all in front of my eyes.
