Are you a fan of spicy food? If you have a low threshold for chili burn, your eyes probably water after a couple of bites of the papaya salad. To lessen the burning sensation, you automatically reach for a big glass of cold water. But does it work? What makes chili taste so spicy and is there a better way to stop the burn? We will explore the chemistry behind the spiciness that may better equip you for you next spicy Northeastern Thai meals.
The burning sensation in chill pepper is from a chemical known as “capsaicin”. Although capsaicin is present throughout the skin of the chili pepper, it is concentrated in the white layer that holds the chili pepper seeds. Capsaicin was the plant’s way to deter mammals from consuming chili pepper, as their gastric juice destroy the chili seeds and prevent the repopulation of the chili plants. According to the 2007 Guinness Book of World Record, the hottest chili pepper is the Naga jolokia pepper, which is grown more in India then any other countries. As a rough estimate, the Naga jolokia is 20-times spicier than the Thai chili pepper, which already brings most people to tears after just one bite.
There are several way to fight the chili burn. Cold water, however, is not the most effective way due to the spreading of capsaicin to other areas in your mouth. You might be surprised to learn that diary products, such as milk and ice cream, are some of the best remedies against the chili burns because products, such as milk can coat the receptors on your tongue, shielding them from more capsaicin exposure. So now that you have your chemistry, use it wisely and save yourself from the agony caused by a little chemical called capsaicin.

Become bankrupt
I was sick for a week after I made merit with family in Buddhist lent day. It is long weekend after mid-term exam. Beginning, I'm feeling extremely anxious and cough. Oh my God!!!.I have fever 39 C and no voice. One reason of this sick is weather : rainy, sunny and cloudy in same day. Why the weather is abnormal more and more ?
I want to see a doctor at the Yanhee hospital after symtom of sickness for three days. Finally, I couldn't to rise up and ate anything. No doubt I was influenza H1N1(I thought in my mind). When I arrived hospital. I sat in front of a doctor's room for ten minutes before went to saw him. He told me "Could you speaking?". I took someone for an interpreter talking with the doctor because I was a sore throat. He checked my throat and sent me to specialist in EENT department(eyes, ears, nose and throat).I breathe relievedly because of it means I didn't an influenza H1N1.I want to tenth floors , the doctor checked my thoroat again.And she said " you are an inflamed larynx"("larynx" is vocabulary of medical have mean "vocal cords"). Then she told " you should stop talking, doesn't loudly voice and I will injected at your hip". Oh no!!I'm only think , I feel pained. At that time, I felt little pain. After that,I felt better, I have a little voice but I felt worse when I spent money(lose all my money ).

Confucius
Confucius (Chinese name is Kong zi) was a Chinese thinker and social philosopher. His philosophy emphasized personal and governmental morality, correctness of social relationships, justice and sincerity. These values gained prominence in China over other doctrines, such as Legalism or Taoism during the Han Dynasty (206 BCE – 220 CE). Confucius' thoughts have been developed into a system of philosophy known as Confucianism. Yesterday a seminar was hold in my school on the topic of “Kong zi” with 80 Chinese teachers’ attendance. To be the lecture I prepared the movie of Kongzi and lots of materials for the Chinese teachers with the purpose of making the Thai students get to know Confucius’s thought and philosophy, such as showing gratitude to parents, showing respect to the elder people and everyone in the society and etc. actually, not only the students can study from Confucius but also all of us. If anyone want to get to know more about Confucius, the following website is available. http://www.confucius.org/maine.htm

Friends Forever?
Your best friend is possibly the most important person in your life. What would you do without that someone you can tell ALL to?... who always understands?... who can be fun or serious,laugh with you ,depending on what you need?,and wipe the state clean?
But sometimes friendship's road is a little bumpy. Or it's a complete and total dead end. What will you do when the relationship between you and your best buddy changes?
#1: Turn your face away form him/her and drifting apart
#2: Fights
#3: End of the Road
In my opinion," Friends" have meaning in ourselves.
F-orgets applesauce you've done.
R-emember even your minor win.
I-rrespective of whine.
E-ndures your stupid.
N-ever say hit the nail on the head.
D-reams with you and walk together both happiness and sufferings.
At this times,How many have you get true friend in your whole life?

How to be a good Friend?
How to Be a Good Friend

Studies show that having a well-balanced social life helps promote a healthy attitude toward life. This doesn't mean you have to be the life of every party, but it does mean developing strong bonds that can help you through the ups and downs of the world. In order to have great friends, though, you also need to be one. Not sure if you are? Here are some tips.
1. Be there for them when they need you, not when you need something from them. Good friends don't call up people only to request a favor. While knowing people that can help you out is important, it's equally important not to abuse the relationship. Focus on what your friend is going through at the moment. Are they happy? A little lonely? Maybe they need to talk about their kid going away to college or the fact that they are worried about their in-laws. Whatever the situation, put yourself second and listen to what's being said directly and implied in their conversations.
2. Don't wait for friends to call you. Make an effort to keep in touch with people. Everyone is busy, but if you want to maintain good friendships you should be proactive about communications. It doesn't mean you have to sit on the phone for two hours a day, but it does mean you send an email, a card, or give them a quick call to let them know you're thinking about them.
3. Respond to them in a timely manner. There's nothing more frustrating than sending a friend an email or note, and having them ignore it because they are "too busy." Everyone is busy. If someone is your friend, you make the effort to be kind to them. Responding to their questions and requests is one way you can do that.
4. Don't be part of the gossip train. Bad mouthing people you call friends is one of the worst things you can do. Don't be catty or talk about them behind their backs. Don't hang out with someone just so you can go back to someone else and talk about your friend. Decide if you are someone's friend, or not, and act accordingly.
5. Be happy for them. It may sound ridiculous, but some folks just can't be happy at their friend's successes. Don't be someone that's only in for complaining about life. When your friend hits it big - celebrate with them. When they're interviewing for a new job - pull for them. When they want to find love - be gracious and supportive when they find it. There is nothing better in the world than having people that support and care about you. Go out of your way to show your support for your friend.
I like this column. My opinion is we will think about our friends when we are suffering from someone or something. But other times we didn't give them precedence.

Dream and Reality
Everyone must certainly have dreamed that it is either nice dream or nightmare. People often dream about what they're facing in reality. No one intends to dream because dream unexpectedly comes to you when you're unaware. However, Leonardo Di Carpio can intentionally make mission complete in the movie 'Inception' which I'm absolutely amazed at. Although the movie is not easy for us to understand, I love it very much. It lets me know another side of dream which concerns the humans' mind and realize there is only a little gap between dream and reality. I love a part of dialogue in the middle of the movie which anaesthetist said "Someone has his real life in dream." That's absolutely sarcasm to someone who loves to escape from the real world.
life is to be whole
Some one told me that, we are more whole when we are missing something. At first i could not understand this sentance until i read a story. Once a circle missed a wedge. the circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was incomplete and therefor could roll only very slowly. On the way, it met some beautiful flowers, it chatted with worms, it enjoyed the sunshine, it fond lots of different pieces, but non of them fit. One day, it found a perfect piece, it was so happy because now it was a whole again. Now it was a perfect circle, it could roll very, too fast to notice the flowers or talking to the worms. it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly, it stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.
i think the lesson of the story was that in some strange sense we are more whole when we are missing something. The man is a poor who will never know that it feels like to get something, to hope, to keep his soul with the dream of something better. The keyword of this article, i think, is how to find something good when we are incomplete. If we could do that, we get the meaning of wholeness.
