Deadly car bomb hits Damascus suburb
大马士革郊区遭遇致命汽车炸弹袭击
A car bomb killed at least ten people and wounded more than 60 when it exploded on the edge of Damascus Thursday. State news agency SANA said that the bomb hit the al-Siyouf Square in Jaramanah. It blamed "terrorists", a term the Syrian government uses for rebels who are fighting a two-year-old civil war against President Bashar al-Assad. Crowds gathered at the blast site... sifting through damage to buildings and vehicles. After rebel gains around the country, the army has pushed back in recent weeks. The insurgents use mortars and car bombs to hit areas still held by the government. The United Nations says nearly 100,000 people have been killed in the war.

谷歌微软竞争个人电脑市场
Google & Microsoft compete in PC market
谷歌微软竞争个人电脑市场
At a time when personal computers are experiencing a drop in sales, Google’s Chromebooks are defying skeptics and gaining market share. The growth follows the unveiling of low-cost Chromebook models from Samsung and Acer last October. Traditional Microsoft partners such as Hewlett-Packard and Lenovo also have started offering Google Chromebooks in recent months.
It’s an old battle between two tech giants. And today, hostilities renewed between Microsoft and Google who both released second quarter earnings. According to research firm NPD Group, in the last eight months, Chromebooks have snagged 20 to 25 per cent of the U-S market for laptops priced under $300. The device is now the fastest-growing part of the personal-computer industry based on price.
When the Chromebook first debuted two years ago, it was dismissed as a "bare-bones" laptop. Its lack of built-in software was considered unusual - especially when compared with laptops using Microsoft’s Windows operating system - but the budget-tier Chromebook has found a market here in the U.S.
According to Gartner and IDC, global shipments of PCs have been steadily declining over the last few years. Computer makers around the world shipped 76 million PCs in the second quarter of 2013 from 85 million PCs shipped last year-a decline of almost 11 percent (10.9%).
Attractive pricing, an evolving platform and strong marketing have seen Chromebooks beat the odds in an otherwise cut-throat market. While Chromebooks still remain a small portion of the total U-S laptop market, Google has certainly found a niche.And with every software update, it continues to woo.
“白雪公主和七个小矮人”在儿童剧院上演
"Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" staged at Children's Theater Festival
“白雪公主和七个小矮人”在儿童剧院上演
China Children's Theater Festival continues into its second week, and this time they're taking the stage at the National Theater for the Peforming Arts.
From cartoons, to plays, to film adaptations, the story of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" remains one of the most popular children’s stories.
One of the draws of Snow White herself is that she embodies the ideal Chinese beauty: snow-white skin, red lips, and jet-black hair. Many famous Chinese actresses have emulated Snow White’s look and persona, including Gong Li, Fan Bing Bing, and Zhao Wei.
This week, kids get a chance to see the gorgeous Disney princess herself in a stage production at the prestigious National Center for the Performing Arts.
This performance of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" is part of the China Children's Theater Festival. Snow White is a story that transcends all ages, genders and cultures, because the moral of the story is that good will always win over bad.
Here’s a recap in case you’ve forgotten: It all starts with the evil witch, who has a magic mirror that tells her that Snow White is more beautiful than her, which prompts her to want to kill Snow White. In grave danger, seven forest dwarfs set out to protect Snow White using their own unique powers. However, the witch still finds the princess and gives her a poisonous apple, which kills her. Outraged and ready for revenge, the seven dwarfs bring down the evil witch and Snow White comes back to life!
But, of course, there’s a lot more entertaining moments in the story that deserve to be revisited in person. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs will be on at the NCPA until July 25th. There’s a lot more festival performances coming up, with the last event taking place on August 28th.
