今天是九·一八。三一年的九·一八，日本人袭击沈阳城，从此开始了对中国人全面的武装侵略。不知道现在的学生们还有多少人知道这个日子？

看到中央10台的一个节目，提到有几个生活中大家要知道的事情，我也很忽视，记录如下：
1. 电梯很安全，电梯事故发生最多的是门开了，但桥厢没上来。所以在坐电梯前门开时，一定要注意看清楚厢子已经上来了。
2. 手机112 SOS专线。即使在信号极其不好的情况下，112仍可能有效。务请记住，以备急需。
3. 落水后（尤其在海里），如果水温比体温低，请注意采用HELP姿态，即减少最低的热量损失。所谓HELP姿态，即身体抱成一团，减少身体与冷水接触的面积。

早上搭公车上班，司机虽然不怎么样，车也开的蛮撞，但看到陆续上来几个老人，总是有年青人起来让座，让人感觉很舒服。看着车前端挂着一个“青年文明号”的牌子，想着，估计这个牌不是给司机发的，是发给坐这车的乘客。

These days the Asian Permafrost Conference are holding in Lanzhou. Yesterday I have met Richard Armstrong from NSIDC and his wife, Besty. We had together a dinner in Lanzhou Hotel. I told them because you were in China, you should fully enjoy the Chinese foods. Although  there are many(?) Chinese restraunts in Boulder the city they are living, few native Chinese foods can be found in those restraunts. The declaration were greatly agreed by Richard. Richard is one of the top research professors in Colorado University, but we cannot see his arrogance, which are surprisely found in the oversea Chinese scholars (Hai Gui) who possibly stayed oversea for several days. Richard is the guy I have blogged in this space who are very anthusiastic in science and impressed me very much. When we visited NSIDC last year, in his office, he has talked about his research for up to 2 hours and forgot to invite us taking a seat. Of course he stand there as us. I have never met a scientist before the day like him. Through his eyes, I found what is the enthusiasium in science research. The couple is both very impressive. Betsy, a graceful lady, always speak gentlely. She is the first time to be in Lanzhou, and going to the excursion to Tibet after this conference.
