Auld Lang Syne (Julien Neel)
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne

 Mr. New Year’s Eve: Guy Lombardo
“Auld Lang Syne” was his theme song.
They called him Mr. New Year’s Eve, and he was part of America’s New Year’s tradition for nearly 50 years.
The New Year’s tradition began on the radio with a New Year’s Eve radio broadcast in 1928. Large broadcast stations picked up their live performances through Dec. 31, 1955. CBS Radio Network would air Lombardo’s live show before midnight Eastern Time and NBC Radio Network would pick up Lombardo after midnight. On Dec. 31, 1956, Lombardo had his first New Year’s TV special on CBS which would include footage of the crowds on Times Square—similar to today. From 1929 to 1959, Lombardo’s band performed in the Roosevelt Grill at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City and at the Waldorf Astoria from 1959 to Dec. 31, 1976.
During the broadcasts, Lombardo would play the songs that had been popular throughout the year before ending the evening with “Auld Lang Syne.”

TOPIC STARTER | Four New Elements | Jan 5, 2016 |
How Four New Elements Got Seats at the Periodic Table
Jeffrey Kluger
http://time.com/4165979/periodic-table-new-elements/
The elements currently have the placeholder names ununtrium, ununpentium, ununseptium, and ununoctium, for elements 113, 115, 117 and 118 respectively, but those will change. Like astronomers who discover new cosmic bodies, scientists who discover new elements can propose what they should be called, but with certain limitations. Elemental names have be inspired by a mythological concept, a mineral, a place, a property or a scientists—which is how we got einsteinium, fermium, mendelevium and americium (and, as long as the IUPAC is standing guard, we’ll never have, say, a trumpium or a snookium).

还真有人建议，“the densest, least stable one could be called Trumpium”。看来 Trumpium 可用于制造非常规武器。

How about “untrumpium" ? 
Name Suggestions For The New Elements
http://www.bustle.com/articles/133264-these-four-feminist-periodic-table-element-names-should-definitely-be-considered-for-the-four-newbies
- Joseph D. Lyons
113 Amaterasium
Amaterasu is the goddess of the sun and the universe in Japanese mythology and the Shinto religion.
115 Tackium
Ida Tacke was German chemist and physicist. She married another scientist, Walter Noddack, and the two discovered element 75 (rhenium). She was nominated for the Nobel Prize three times, but was never honored. She also was supposedly the first person to mention nuclear fission.
117 Pereysium
A student of Marie Curie, Marguerite Perey was the first female to be elected to the French Académie des Sciences. Her big claim to fame was discovering element 87 (francium).
118 Morenium
Given the Russians' role in the the development of the other elements, it would be fitting to also honor someone from Russian-Slavic mythology. Morena is the goddess associated with death and rebirth in nature.

| Photography for commercial ads | Jan 8, 2016 |
http://www.cnn.com/videos/fashion/2015/12/20/china-fashion-photographer-chen-man.cnn
QHE,
I agree with you; she seems to be a completely different person in this CNN feature video. I guess it's all in the makeup.
Chen Man herself seems to be a sufficiently down-to-earth person. It's the people around her that might be a little iffy if you ask me.
可能我不会欣赏这类广告摄影。我觉得构图和色彩是很好，可那些用设计软件渲染过的人物，好像大都失真失神了; 可能把人物 “商品化” 正是设计的意图吧。
I also agree with you on this. I can't appreciate the aesthetics of some of the commercial ads I see either. But I must say I've learned a lot from watching Tyra Banks' "America's Next Top Model".

| "America's Next Top Model" Judging Panel | Jan 8, 2016 |
Sometimes it's hard to say what exactly they are looking for in a fashion model; but originality and individuality often seem to be among the much sought-after attributes during a photo shoot.
