[Jokes]The king's new clothes

Once upon a time there was a foolish king who loved to wear new clothes. All day long he ordered the dressmakers in his palace to make new clothes of different styles for him, and then he would show off his new clothes to his people. Although the tailors worked very hard, no one could come up with more new designs and make new and beautiful clothes every day.

One day the tailors showed the king the new clothes they had just made. The king lost his temper at once and said, "is this what you've got? Nothing creative. The king was so angry that he kicked the tailor and the new clothes a long way off.

The king had no satisfactory new clothes to wear, so he decided to put up a notice from the king. Soon all who saw the notice heard of it, and at last all the tailors in the country knew of the order and began to design the king's new clothes carefully.
A month later, there was a long queue outside the gate of the palace. Each tailor brought his favorite work to win the king's prize.

"King, it is made of the most precious silk.

"It's the latest fashion. It must look mighty for a king."

The king tried on one thing after another. He stood in front of the big mirror, looked left and right, and said critically, "tut, tut, how ugly it is! Tut, the flower color is too earthy! The king tried on a thousand things a day, but could not find one satisfactory. It was not that the clothes were ugly, but that the king was too fat.
Another month passed, but none of the clothes pleased the king, until one day two tailors, luigi and Carla, came from a neighboring country. They said to the king with great confidence, "we have a special kind of magic to make the most wonderful clothes in the world." The king was very pleased and asked, "what kind of cloth is it? What material is it? Why is it the most wonderful garment in the world?

"It's brighter than flowers, softer than clouds, it has a unique design, and the best part is that only smart people can see it," said luigi.

"Ah!" The king's surprised eyes said: "then the stupid people can not see the clothes?"

"Yeah, so it's a magical dress." Carla chimed in.

"Great! The king said happily, "if I only wear your clothes, I shall be able to tell which of my ministers are wise and which are unemployable fools."
Carla and luigi took a large sum of money from the king and began to work behind closed doors, but no one had ever seen what they were doing.

A month passed, and the king wanted to wear new clothes again.
"Is my wonderful new dress ready yet?" The king became more and more impatient, and could not help going to see for himself how the tailor worked. But when he thought about it, the king did not dare to go, for he was afraid that if he could not see the cloth, he would tell everyone that I was a foolish king. I'd better send an honest minister to see! "

Green, the honest minister, was ordered to see how the tailor was doing. He was also afraid that if he couldn't see the cloth, he would be laughed at. Green's heart was pounding outside the door, but he screwed up his courage and went into the weaving room. "how's it going, two tailors?" he cried.

Carla smiled and said, "we are working day and night. We are almost finished. Look, how beautiful the color and pattern of the cloth are!"

Green looked up and saw that there was nothing on the loom. He rubbed his eyes in surprise, but they were still empty. Luigi pointed at the loom and said triumphantly, "your excellency, isn't it beautiful? I think the king will be pleased, won't he?" Green was stunned. He stammered for a long time before saying out loud, "it's so... so... beautiful. Green didn't want to be taken for a fool, so he had to keep praising.
Carla, the tailor, said, "please tell the king that we shall soon be finished."

Green rushed back to the palace to report back to the king. His heart is very nervous, he dare not tell the truth, had to pretend to see the cloth, said the first time in his life lies, praise of say: "that cloth is really beautiful, bright color, delicate pattern, the cloth surface is soft, as if it will shine! I have never seen such beautiful cloth! The king was very happy, but green, who had lied for the first time in his life, was in a cold sweat.

After two days, the king couldn't wait. He sent another minister, normally known for his cleverness, to see the progress. When the wisest minister saw that there was nothing on the loom, he broke out in a cold sweat. But no one ever thought that minister green was any smarter than he was. He dared not admit that he could not see it, so he kept saying, "wow, what a beautiful cloth!"

The clever brown answered the king, "your majesty, you are so lucky to be able to wear clothes of that noble cloth. The king said, "that you can see the cloth proves that you are indeed a clever man. Very, very good!" Brown broke out in a cold sweat at the king's praise of him, because he could not see the magical dress, of course.

The king was very happy, for he thought, "if these fellows can see, I must be able to see too, for my brain is much brighter than theirs." The king smiled confidently.

When the king felt confident, he marched out of the palace with his guards, ready to see for himself how the tailor was doing. Several of the men who had opened the way went into the weaving room first. The notice said, "the two tailors have worked hard, and the king himself will come and see your work."

The two tailors said, "wise lords of the army, open your eyes and see first. The cloth is so beautiful and soft that I am sure you have never seen it before."

Servants, you look at me, I look at you, nobody sees anything. But no one dared to admit it, and they all said, "wow, what a strange material!"

The king smiled and went into the weaving room. He opened his eyes wide, but the sweat ran cold. "What's going on?" he thought anxiously. "why can't I see?

The king made up his mind to pretend he could see the cloth. The king smiled and said, "ha, ha, ha, this cloth is really beautiful, isn't it?" When the guards heard this, they praised him and said, "yes, it is so soft and smooth. I have never seen such a noble cloth. Everyone praised the cloth is good, but in the heart to scold themselves, why so stupid, can not see this wonderful cloth?

"Very well," said the king to the tailors, "when you have finished your work, make a dress for me at once. I am going to show my people in the streets how many wise men there are, and how many fools there are in the whole country." Then the king gave the two tailors the order of gold, the highest honor, and bags of gold.
The two tailors were overjoyed to receive so many rewards, and worked even harder. They seemed so busy that they had no rest from day till night. "Finished at last. Now let's cut the clothes!" The two tailors took the big scissors and snipped them out and stitched them together. Their hands were busy with each other.

They worked for another week, and then breathed a great sigh of relief. "Ah, dead tired, but finally done, I believe the king will be very happy, we quickly sent to the king. The two tailors went to the king with their new clothes. They said proudly:
"Your majesty, your new dress is finished. You see what a beautiful dress it is! I believe it will make you look younger and more handsome. "Said the tailor, turning the clothes about and showing them to the king.

Although the king could see nothing, he still put on an expression of satisfaction and praised the two tailors. The two dressmakers were so pleased that they said to the king, "your majesty, your clothes are too ugly.

The king listened to the tailor and took off his clothes, one by one, leaving only a pair of underpants. The tailor gestured, "please, king, put your hand into your sleeve. The king felt empty and could touch nothing. However, he still stood in front of the mirror, looked left and right, and kept saying: "well, as light as a feather, it is really cool to wear, your workmanship is really superb, I will reward you well. He also lavished money on the tailor.

The king summoned his courtiers and said to them, "well, isn't my dress really nice?" The ministers were shocked, but they all praised him with one voice: "wow, what a noble dress! Your majesty, it really suits you." The compliments were paid insincerely.

The king, in his new clothes, walked triumphantly out of the palace and into the streets. As he walked along, the king looked at the crowd on either side and thought, "this dress of mine is for the wise. The unintelligent cannot see it. How many of these people can see it?

In fact, all people see is a naked, only a pair of underwear of the king. But no one dared to say it, for no one would admit that he was a fool. Just then a little boy ran out of the crowd, pointed at the king, laughed and said, "ha ha ha! Then he pointed to the king's stomach and said, "wow, your stomach is so big. Don't you wear clothes? Aren't you afraid of catching cold?"

The crowd by the side of the road couldn't help laughing when they heard the boy's laughter. They all thought it was funny.
"Bad, I was cheated, have no new clothes at all! Too shameful." The king took the boy by the hand and hurried back to the palace. The crowd was worried that the boy would be punished by the king. Instead of punishing the boy, the king gave him many gifts and praised him, saying, "you are an honest boy. You are the only one in the kingdom who has told me the truth and made me see that I am a fool." By this time, of course, luigi and Carla had already run off with a fistful of COINS.

After this lesson, the king was determined to be a good king who worked hard and loved his people. He no longer liked to wear beautiful new clothes.

[JOKES] Three humorous celebrity stories

Three humorous celebrity stories

Presidential clothes
Thomas Jefferson was the third President of the United States. Throughout his presidency, he regarded himself as one of the common people.
One day, Jefferson met a Connecticut man.
The man saw Jefferson on a tall horse, dressed in his usual clothes, thought he was a horse dealer, and fell into conversation with him.
"Said the new President.
The other said, "Jefferson was a big spender. He wears a ring on every finger. Sell his clothes for a plantation and two watches."
Jefferson laughed and said, "the President's clothes are not as handsome as yours. If you don't believe me, I'll go with you and see him."
As they rode up the White House foyer, the servant said to Jefferson, "Mr. President!"
The man in the same trade was dumbfounded.


Columbus's wonderful metaphor
After Columbus discovered the new world, people gave him a banquet.
Some of the nobles at the banquet thought he had discovered the new world by accident.
Columbus took out an egg and said, "gentlemen, which of you can stand this egg on the table?"
The nobles, unable to get up, turned to Columbus for advice.
Columbus took the egg and struck it lightly on the table. It stood.
The nobles were very unconvinced and said, "we will stand in this way."
Columbus laughed and said, "the trouble is that none of you clever people thought of doing this before I did."



Returned to their owners
After many life choices, the founder of Buddhism sakyamuni finally realized under the bodhi tree and reached the realm of superego. Like the hardships of his path, his ministry was far from smooth.
At one point, a man interrupted sakyamuni's sermon by cursing him with foul language.
Sakyamuni waited for him to finish cursing and then asked him, "if one gives a gift to another and the giver refuses to accept it, who shall the gift go to?"
"Of course it belongs to the giver." The man replied without understanding.
"All right! Sakyamuni said, "I refuse to accept your dirty words. Now return them to you!"

[Health]The nine countries with the healthiest cuisine in the world

The nine countries with the healthiest cuisine in the world

Fast food originated in the United States, which was consistently ranked the fattest country in the world. Americans have higher rates of heart disease and diabetes. After the arrival of foreign food in the United States, local "modifications" were made to American tastes and eating habits, and they tended to choose the most "fat" food in the foreign diet as dinner, such as pizza with cheese filling and greasy salami slices.

Traditional French, Spanish and Chinese food is among the healthiest in the world. Here, processed food is replaced by fresh food, and elaborate, healthy cooking replaces the easy way of frying in the microwave and at high temperatures. Although butter, cooking oil and sugar compounds originated in these three countries, their different cooking philosophies have kept the prevalence of common diseases and diabetes low.

Similarly, in Greece and Israel, the concept of food is even more fastidious, they will eat slowly to enjoy the food, and in this way to relax. A hurried pace of life combined with the habit of eating without a whole meal is certainly not a way to maintain health and longevity. Using the CIA World Factbook and the World Health Organization's information on obesity, heart disease and diabetes, here are nine countries with the healthiest foods.

Japan

In Japan, which has one of the lowest rates of obesity in the developed world, people focus on longevity. Their diet is dominated by vegetables, rice and soya beans, which reflects their concern for health. The Japanese also eat fresh seafood and dairy products, but in moderation. Interestingly enough, Tokyo alone has more Michelin stars than Paris, New York, London and Hong Kong combined.

The French

The widely held belief that "French women don't get fat" is true, and everyday French meals are not made up of hollandaise and foie gras. Instead, French food USES plenty of fresh vegetables, such as French beans, and a variety of well-made proteins. The most missed dishes are fish stew, white omelet and fresh salad.

Italy

Italy has one of the lowest rates of diabetes in the world, according to the world health organization. It also tells people that there are more healthy and delicious delicacies in Italian cuisine than pizza, pasta and ice cream. Today, pasta is cooked in a light, low-protein, vegetable-rich way. Also, italians cook with olive oil, which is good for heart health and rich in omega-3s. It also effectively ensures the health of food.

The Swedish

Generally speaking, seafood is the main food in Swedish cuisine and Nordic food. The cuisine in this region is mainly cooked in healthy ways, such as smoking, stewing, drying and marinating. The main course is served with vegetables and fruit, and even the main course is served without heavy sauces or Fried food. White bread and crackers are often replaced by crisp rye bread because of its rich fiber content.

The Greek

Mediterranean cuisine is definitely a favorite of dieters and body shapers because they are not only healthy but also have a special effect on weight loss. Traditional Greek food consists of green vegetables, omega-3 rich olive oil, fresh seafood, whole grains, as well as fresh fruit and a small amount of dairy products. Small portions of food, called mezze, are also popular here.

The Caribbean

Island cuisine is also health-conscious, with food made from fresh fish and seafood, starchy vegetables, rice and peppers. Especially in Bermuda, anguilla and the cayman islands, these ingredients lower blood pressure and boost metabolism. These dishes also use plenty of fresh tropical fruits, giving them a strong Caribbean flavor.

The Swiss

When it comes to Swiss food, most people think of thick bread, sticky cheese, and meat-based foods. Switzerland, however, has an enviable low rate of obesity and low rates of heart disease and diabetes. That's because people here tend to focus on local, seasonal food, mostly from small local farms, and it's simple. Meat and cheese are eaten in relatively moderate quantities. In the morning, locals like to have a muesli, a breakfast of dried fruit, oats and nuts.

Spain

Spain is perhaps best known for jamon iberico and rich cheese. However, their cuisine is rich in vegetables, fresh fish, grains and beans. Many traditional appetizers are vegetarian (for example, garlic mushrooms and grilled vegetables) or feature grilled live fish and seafood.

Israel

Also a Mediterranean country, Israeli food has many similarities to Greek food. Use olive oil; Fresh vegetables, such as eggplant, tomatoes and zucchini, as well as the "jewish seven treasures" (grapes, olives, pomegranates, etc.), which are rich in nutrients and antioxidants. As a result, israelis live longer and have lower rates of heart disease.

[Health]Healthy people to wear masks v.s New Coronavirus Epidemic

The Washington metropolitan transit authority (WMATA) said this week it was buying emergency flu supplies from compliant production suppliers to keep WMATA employees safe and guard against the spread of the new coronavirus. But WMATA also pointed out that the purchase was a precautionary measure, not because of any imminent threat.

Since new coronavirus epidemic broke out in China, the United States has more than ten cases of diagnosed patients, worked as a personnel exchanges between China and America in the town, the local Chinese community of particular concern for the prevention of the evolution of the epidemic and public places such as schools and subway have started there are a few people wearing masks, masks and other products of many stores also out of stock or restricted.

The city's subway system, which carries hundreds of thousands of commuters daily, has also begun taking steps, with WMATA this week inviting bids for emergency flu supplies from compliant suppliers to ensure the safety of WMATA employees and prevent the spread of the new virus.

Although the move comes at a time when concerns about the new coronavirus are rising, WMATA said it was stocking up on supplies that could be used in other emergencies.

WMATA expects to have the supplies ready by the end of next week, including 43,428 disposable dust masks, 797 reusable masks, 1,846 boxes of disinfectant, disinfectant wipes, hand sanitizer sensors, 1,478 boxes of rubber gloves, 362 garbage bags, and 9,495 portable hand sanitizers.

Although the centers for disease control and prevention (CDC) does not recommend normal healthy people to wear masks to guard against the new virus, non-chinese community attention and reaction also is inferior to the Chinese community, but the English media also reported every day, all the Chinese ghettos of local health department also in close cooperation with the community, to convey the new crown virus relevant information accurately.

The department of Health of Virginia and Montana counties with large Chinese residents in Washington recently contacted the Chinese American Community Health Services, a volunteer organization in Washington, d.c., to help organize a new coronavirus prevention conference for the Chinese Community and disseminate CDC and local Health department prevention guidelines.

[Health]The scientific reason you can't lose weight after 5 hours of running

Let's say you've been trying to get rid of fat for years, but to no avail, and now I'll tell you why. When fully understood, it will help you to stop doing something that is impossible to succeed at, and that keeps hitting you.


Most physicians, dietitians and government agencies still say that weight management is simple, as long as you burn more calories than you eat. Their views on weight management are as biased as those of the geographer, the continental drift, or the creationist view of earth science. What they call "eating less and moving more" completely ignores the effects of insulin. Any discussion of how many calories to eat, as opposed to how many calories to burn, must include the role of insulin, which determines whether sugar or fat is metabolized, and a condition called homeostasis.

Homeostasis is when your body stabilizes inputs and outputs to keep you alive, and you don't have to worry about it: your body quivers to keep warm, or you sweat to keep cool. If shivering is not enough to warm your body, you will wear a coat for comfort; And when it's hot outside, you take off clothes. When your body needs your help to maintain comfort, homeostasis calls you into action.

When it comes to eating and exercising, homeostasis goes beyond willpower and determination. Consider this: a pound of fat has 3,500 calories, whether it comes from a salmon, a pig, a pile of soybeans, or your belly fat. An hour of strenuous exercise can burn 700 to 900 calories, depending on your size and endurance. Let's count 700 calories, because that's the metabolic rate most people can afford if they're forced to jog for an hour.

Mathematically, to burn a pound of fat, at 700 calories per hour, you would have to exercise for five hours and not eat any more calories. The problem is, exercise makes you hungry, and when you're metabolizing glucose, you can't exercise for more than two or three hours without getting more glucose. For every 700 calories of carbs consumed, you would have to work out an extra hour to eliminate 3,500 calories from that pound of fat. This extra hour of exercise turns into an hour of activity that increases appetite.

If you make it through five to seven hours of jogging and burn 3,500 calories, you'll be ravenous for the next few hours and will eat all the calories back up, because homeostasis insists on keeping your output in balance with your inputs. Willpower has nothing to do with it. Your body is "bound" to recover lost calories.

So if you're jogging just to burn calories, there's a scientific reason to stop. Exercise strengthens muscles and maintains blood flow, calms you down, gets rid of body waste, and even increases endorphins. There are many benefits, but none of them include weight loss. Enjoy hiking, walking, rowing, cycling and swimming, regardless of how many calories are metabolized.
