輕拍右屁股為開關，順時鐘或逆時鐘按摩左屁股為聲量。
只是不知中間那個洞（會放香氣嗎？）有什麼功能。

風聲鶴唳,草木皆兵

公元383年東晉與前秦在今安徽壽縣一帶進行了一場大戰，史稱“淝水之戰”。“風聲鶴唳，草木皆兵”的歷史典故即出於此。

公元316年，西晉王朝滅亡。公元357年，苻堅稱大秦天王，滅前燕、前涼及代國，最終統一北方。在南方，琅琊王司馬睿在建康（今南京）稱帝，建立東晉王朝。東晉佔有今漢水、淮河以南的大部分地區。這樣，形成了秦晉南北對峙的局面。

公元383年五月，苻堅不顧群臣反對，決意攻取東晉。八月，苻堅率步兵六十余萬、騎兵二十七萬、“羽林軍”三萬餘騎；前後千里，旌鼓相望，直逼東晉。苻堅驕 狂地說，以此強兵百萬，“投鞭可以斷流”，何愁東晉不滅？晉武帝則採納了謝安、桓衝等人的主張，堅決抵抗。他派將軍謝石、謝玄等率兵八萬沿淮河西進，以拒 秦軍；又派將軍胡彬率領水軍五千增援戰略要地壽陽（今安徽壽縣）。

同年十日十八日，秦軍前鋒攻佔壽陽。胡彬所部水軍走到半路，得知壽陽 失守，退守硤石（在壽縣西北二十五里〕。秦軍為了阻擋晉軍主力西進，又派兵五萬進至洛澗（今安徽懷遠縣以南之洛水），並在洛口設置木柵，阻斷淮河交通。胡 彬因困守硤石，糧食用盡，處境十分艱難，寫信要求謝石增援。不料胡彬的信被秦軍截獲。苻堅認為晉軍兵力很少，糧食十分困難，應該抓緊進攻，遂把主力留在項 城（今河南項城縣境），帶了八千騎兵趕到壽陽。

苻堅先派尚書朱序到晉軍勸降。朱序原來是東晉防守襄陽的將領，襄陽失守時被俘。朱序到晉軍以後，不僅沒有勸 降，反而透露了秦軍情況，並且建議說，如果秦兵百萬全部到達，晉軍難以抵抗，現在應趁它還沒有到齊，迅速出擊，打擊它的前鋒，大軍就會潰散。晉軍將領謝 石、謝玄聽從了朱序的建議，於十一月派劉牢之率精兵五千進攻洛澗。劉牢之分兵一部到秦軍側後，斷敵退路，親自率兵強渡洛澗，夜襲秦軍大營。秦軍抵擋不住。 主將樑成戰死，五萬秦兵大潰，搶渡淮水，淹死一萬五千余人。洛澗的勝利，鼓舞了晉軍的土氣。晉軍乘勝追擊，一舉推至淝水東岸，與秦兵隔河對峙。苻堅登上壽 陽城頭，望見東晉軍隊布陣嚴整，心中暗暗吃驚。又見淝水東面八公山上草木搖動，以為都是埋伏的晉兵，不由連連感嘆：“此亦勁敵澗謂弱也”。　　

洛澗失利後，秦軍沿著淝水西岸布陣，阻止晉軍反攻。晉軍將領謝玄派人對苻堅的弟弟苻融說；如果你把軍隊稍向後撤，讓出一塊地方，使晉軍渡過淝水，兩軍一決勝 負！秦軍諸將都認為不能讓晉軍渡河，但符堅卻說：可以稍退一步，等到晉軍兵馬渡河至一半時突然襲擊，再用鐵騎數十萬攻擊，一定可以取勝。於是苻融指揮秦軍 後撤。秦軍本來內部不穩，這一撤，秦軍以為前鋒被打敗了，頓時大亂，一潰千里，不可遏止。晉軍以精銳八千涉渡肥水，展開猛烈攻擊。符堅中流箭，臨陣斬苻 融。晉軍乘勢迫擊，秦軍人馬相踏，投水死者不可勝計，肥水為之不流。其他軍眾棄甲，晝夜潰退，聽到風聲鶴唳，以為是東晉追兵，草行露宿，飢寒交迫，死去十 分之七八。及至洛陽，只剩下10余萬人。

後世用成語“草木皆兵”來形容人在極度恐慌時，一有風吹草動便疑神疑鬼的樣子；以“風聲鶴唳”來形容人極度恐慌以致於自相驚擾的樣子。

Harley Davidson Circa 2020

Somebody pass me a helmut and a time travel ship because if this is what Harley bikes look like in 10 years, I’m so there. Designer Miguel Cotto pays homage to the big road hogs by keeping the large 883cc engine, complete with high revs and roars. The similarities end there. The design is almost tron-like in execution. Check out the wheel hubs. They’re actually giant bearings. I do see glimpses of Harley DNA in the center chassis but seriously, can you image any road warriors riding this?

Facebook Headquarters by Studio O+A

San Fransisco designers Studio O+A have completed the headquarters for social networking website Facebook in Palo Alto, California.

Located in a former laboratory constructed in the 1960’s, the building houses over 700 employees.

The designers re-used many of the former lab benches and equipment for the new offices.

The design uses colour-coding to differentiate between teams within the open-plan space.

Some walls are left unfinished so that employees can add writing and artwork to them.

The Facebook website itself was used to consult employees about the new design and to keep them up to date about it’s development.

Here’s some more information from Studio O+A:

Facebook Headquarters
Palo Alto, California

Employees of Facebook recently moved to a new headquarters that facilitates interaction and connection, reflecting the company’s mission as a social networking website provider.

Formerly a laboratory facility for high-tech manufacturer Agilent Technologies, the 150,000-square-foot structure at Palo Alto’s Stanford Research Park brings together more than 700 employees originally scattered throughout 10 locations in and around downtown Palo Alto.

The design of the space relied heavily on input from the users, appropriate for a flatly structured company that weights every employee’s opinion equally. O+A designers interviewed employees about what they wanted from their new headquarters.

The Facebook platform was used to conduct company-wide polls about design decisions, post construction photos and updates, and keep everyone informed of the thought process behind the project.

An advisory board of employees from every department collaborated with the design team on the design process, from space planning to finishes to final move coordination.

Because the new facility houses employees coming from various locations, the company wanted to maintain each division’s distinct identity. The design takes its inspiration from the patchwork nature of Facebook users and employees, bringing together seemingly disparate elements to form a cohesive pattern and using color and interior spacing to create neighborhoods within the open plan space.

The company’s executives sit in central areas, accessible to all employees. Large lounges and open spaces provide venues for the community to come together.

A kitchen and café continue Facebook’s tradition of providing gourmet meals to staff at all hours, while drinks and snacks are available at micro-kitchens throughout the headquarters.

Reflecting employees’ desire for a green headquarters, the facility is the first commercial project completed under Palo Alto’s 2008 Green Building Ordinance, making extensive use of existing architectural features, recycling millwork from the original lab, and repurposing industrial components for post-industrial use.

Other sustainable features include high recycled-content carpet and energy-efficient lighting.

The design goal for the new facility was to maintain the history and raw aesthetic of the building and create a fun dynamic appropriate for the company’s youthful staff.

Many walls and spaces are left unfinished: employees are encouraged to write on the walls, add artwork, and move furniture as needed, allowing the building to evolve continuously.

A bright orange industrial crane, left over from the building’s previous user, was repurposed by San Francisco sculptor Oliver DiCicco to support a table surface from its heavyweight hoist, offering maximum maneuverability. Referencing the industrial aesthetic of the building, a felt canopy spreads up one wall and onto the ceiling, defining a central meeting area that can double as an impromptu auditorium.

Mounted on threaded rods of varying length to achieve an undulating effect, the canopy absorbs sound and is penetrated at intervals by overhead lighting. An outdoor basketball court and indoor ping-pong table offer opportunities for recreation. And it is not unusual to see employees zipping along the concrete floors on two-wheeled skateboards.

Designers: Studio O+A

Studio O+A is a San Francisco interior design firm serving companies nationwide. Founded by Primo Orpilla and Verda Alexander during the dot-com boom of the early 1990s, the studio began with a mission to bring sophisticated SOMA design to Silicon Valley start-ups and the venture firms who supported them.

That start-up mentality is still a key feature of the Studio O+A aesthetic, but through the years, the firm’s mission has broadened to include a range of services for a client base that includes such major American corporations as eBay, Levi Strauss, and Williams Sonoma. Earlier this year, Studio O+A was recognized by the International Interior Design Association with an award for its remodel of the San Jose hairstylist W’s Salon.

2012末日傳說來自西方

印第安長老：2012末日傳說來自西方

據《美聯社》週日報導，瑪雅印第安長老貝克斯圖近期經常被問及有關世界末日的傳說，他表示已受夠了，指末日之說非源自瑪雅。

身為瑪雅人，貝克斯圖堅稱，2012年絕非世界末日。他指出，世界末日的理論來自西方世界，而不是瑪雅人的觀點。

墨西哥考古學家伯納爾亦認為，世界末日其實是西方思想，只是強加于瑪雅文明。

他研究過的瑪雅遺址中，有不少刻文提及2012年之后的日期，包括4772年。

美國得克薩斯大學研究古瑪雅人銘文的專家大衛‧斯圖亞特亦指出：“瑪雅人認為，這一天是新紀元的開始，但從來沒有說世界將會走向末日。”

美國作家勞倫斯‧約瑟夫也提醒民眾，瑪雅人確實把2012年看作一個巨大的轉折點。這個轉折點不是指世界的末日，而是指“第五個太陽紀”的到來。
