>Nitrogen helps preserve grain longer
国家推广氮气气调储粮
China Grain Reserve Corp. (Sinograin) is pushing forward nitrogen and temperature controls for more efficient grain storage, Xinhua reported. So far, the company has used the storage method, which replaces oxygen in sealed storage silos with nitrogen, to store 3.5 billion kilograms of grain. Because nitrogen is less reactive than oxygen, the method slows decomposition and gives the grain longer shelf life. Government data showed that Chinese farmers used to lose as much as 10 percent of their grain harvest due to unscientific storage methods.
中国储备粮管理总公司目前正积极推广氮气气调，以达到高效储粮的目的。据新华社报道，该公司氮气气调储粮规模已达35亿公斤。氮气通常不易发生化学反应，在存储空间中将氧气换成氮气可以减缓食物的腐烂过程，从而使食物的保质时间更长。国家公布的数据显示，由于储存方法不科学，中国农民过去损失的粮食多达产量的十分之一。
>China to launch new stock indices
我国将推出新股指
China Securities Index Co., Ltd. (CSI) said Sunday that three new stock indices are slated to be launched on Nov. 8, Xinhua reported. The CSI TMT Industries Index was designed to track companies in the technology, media and telecommunications (TMT) industries, while the CSI Resource 80 Index will reflect the performance of the resource sector. The CSI 500 SSE Stocks Index will be introduced to highlight Shanghai-listed companies among all the 500 sample stocks of the CSI 500 Index. CSI has selected 100 large-scale companies and another 80 to respectively form the first two indexes. The indices will serve as new investable benchmarks once introduced.
据新华社报道，中证指数有限公司于周日宣布，3个新股指定于11月8日发布。中证 TMT 产业主题指数将用来追踪科技、媒体和电信行业的情况，中证资源 80 指数则反映资源行业的表现。中证 500 沪市指数是中证 500 指数构成的500样本股，针对在沪上市公司。中证各选取了100个大型公司和另80个公司来组成前两个指数。这些股指一经推出，将为投资者提供新的投资标的。
>Women key to hunger issues in Africa
缓解饥荒须关注妇女
Sub-Saharan Africa faces daunting problems staving off famine in coming decades, but food and development experts also say one solution to the problem is obvious: empower women, Reuters reported. Women from Kenya to Liberia now plant and tend the key food crops like corn, sorghum, millet, sweet potatoes, casaba and peas. More than half of Africa's farmers are women, with most tending crops on small plots of land they can't own. A report by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations said if women had the same access to production resources as men, they could increase yields on farms by 20 to 30 percent.
未来几十年，撒哈拉以南的非洲地区很难摆脱严重的灾荒，但食物和发展专家们表示，该问题的一个明显的解决办法就是赋予女性权力。据路透社报道，从肯尼亚到利比里亚，女人们都是种植玉米﹑高粱﹑黍子﹑红薯﹑甜瓜﹑豌豆等主要粮食作物。超过一半的非洲农民是女人，并且绝大多数是在没有所有权的田间劳作。联合国粮农组织的报告称，一旦女人和男人拥有同样多的生产资料，她们就可以使粮食产量增加20%到30%。
>Man spends 30 years eating roadkill
男子三十年路边寻肉(图)
Conservationist Jonathan McGowan, who has spent 30 years eating only roadkill, makes owl curries and rat stir fries because he doesn't like the way farmed animals are treated, Metro reported. The 44-year-old from Dorset first got a taste for free meat at age 14 when he cooked an adder in butter. 'Everywhere I looked there were dead animals; pheasants that had been shot and animals that had been run over in the road so naturally I became drawn to nature and how it worked,' McGowan said. He has never fallen ill from the diet, claiming his specialty is pan-fried crane flies.
据英国《都市报》报道，自然资源保护者乔纳森·麦高恩现年44岁，因为不喜欢圈养动物的培育方式，三十年来只把路边死去的动物做成美餐享用，诸如咖喱猫头鹰、油炸鼠肉等。他来自多西特省，十四岁时，自己做了一道蝰蛇蘸黄油，至此便爱上了吃'免费肉食'。他说：'我遍地寻找死去的动物，被打中的野鸡，路上被撞死的动物，从而逐步亲近自然，了解自然。'但他吃这些东西从没生病，并称自己烹饪的特色菜是煎盲蛛。
>Animals shrinking due to climate change
气候变化导致动物衰减
Researchers say that rising global temperatures and changes in weather patterns have knock-on effects which are already stunting the growth of a wide range of species, The Daily Telegraph reported. The change could have a major impact on the expanding human population, with major food sources like fish likely to reduce in size and crops expected to grow smaller and less reliably than today. Species which are unable to adapt quickly enough are at risk of extinction as ecosystems shift dramatically, altering the balance of food and other resources needed for survival.
据《每日电讯报》报道，研究人员表示，全球气温升高以及气候模式的改变带来冲击效应，已经阻碍了多种物种的生长。这种变化会对人口的增长产生巨大冲击，因为像鱼类这样的主要食物来源个体会变小，粮食有可能比现在长得更小，产量更不稳定。随着生态系统发生巨大转变，赖以生存的食物和其它资源的平衡被打破，不能迅速适应环境的物种有灭绝的危险。

>Qi Baishi album sets auction record
齐白石画谱拍出1250万元
A collection of 81 Qi Baishi paintings was auctioned off in Changsha City, Hunan Province for 12.5 million yuan, China News Service reported. The paintings, which Qi drew as a young carpenter, set the highest price record at the auction named Three Hundred Years' History of Hunan Province.
据中新社报道，'湖湘三百年'名家书画拍卖会上，一套收集了齐白石81张画稿册页的画谱，拍出了1250万元人民币的高价，成为该场拍卖会的'标王'。该拍品是齐白石年少做木匠时所摹的画册。
>Legoland lays down gauntlet in Florida
全球最大乐高公园迎客(图)
In total 50 million bricks have been used on models, as the theme park Legoland Florida-the fifth and largest Legoland in the world-opened to the public last Saturday, the Daily Mail reported. The new Legoland features models of the Statue of Liberty and New York skyline. 据英国《每日邮报》报道，上周六，美国佛罗里达州乐高主题公园正式开门迎客。公园共使用了5000万块乐高塑料积木，是迄今全球第五座、也是最大的乐高主题公园。该公园内展示了用乐高塑料积木搭建的自由女神像和纽约天际线的缩微模型。

>Humans lived among dinosaur tracks
人类、恐龙足迹曾共存
Three scientists from China and the United States have discovered the world's only evidence of ancient human beings living amongst dinosaur tracks in a remote county in Chongqing, Xinhua reported. Qijiang County's Lotus Mountain Fortress has a large number of dinosaur tracks as well as a well-preserved fortress and historical epigraph, forming direct evidence that ancient Chinese people lived alongside dinosaur tracks, said Xing Lida, one of the researchers. Chinese people could have lived here for over 700 years, and the mud cracks, ripple marks and duck-billed dinosaur tracks were considered by them to be lotus leaf veins, water environment and lotus, respectively, from which the Lotus Mountain Fortress got its name, Xing said.
据新华社报道，3位来自中国和美国的科学家在重庆的偏远县发现世界唯一一例人类和恐龙足迹共存的证据。其中的一位研究人员邢立达表示，綦江县的莲花保寨有大量的恐龙足迹，还有保存完好的要塞和历史题刻，这构成了中国古人和恐龙足迹共存的直接证据。邢立达说，中国人可能在那里生活了700余年，泥裂、波痕和嘴龙类足迹被认为分别是荷叶叶脉、水环境和莲花，莲花保寨由此得名。

>Bras designed for 9-year-olds sold
英乐购售9岁女孩胸罩
A bra for nine-year-olds is going on sale as youngsters reach puberty at an increasingly early age, the Daily Mail reported. The design has been driven by demands from mothers that it 'should not look remotely sexy.' It has been developed in a partnership between Mumsnet and Tesco, which has previously been condemned for sexualizing young girls. International research suggests young girls now reach puberty around a year earlier than 20 years ago, at nine years and ten months.
据英国《每日邮报》报道，越来越多青少年提早进入青春期，适合9岁女孩戴的胸罩也相应推出。妈妈们希望内衣远看不能显得太性感，这款内衣的设计正是迎合了妈妈们的这些要求。内衣由Mumsnet网站和乐购联合开发，他们之前曾推出的内衣因为让年轻女孩太过性感遭到谴责。国际研究发现，如今少女进入青春期的时间比20年前提早了大约1年，大概9岁10个月就开始发育。
>Japanese motorbike runs on excrement
日打造环保马桶摩托车(图)
This is one motorcycle that doesn't leave anything to waste – because it's powered by excrement, the Daily Mail reported. The curious creation, dubbed Toilet Bike Neo, is the brainchild of Japan's leading toilet manufacturer Toto and uses a modified lavatory and a mobile laboratory for processing. Bizarrely, the rider is even encouraged to use the portaloo as much as possible on every journey as the waste is turned into biofuel that powers the machine. The company hopes the travelling toilet, which can reach a maximum speed of 50 miles per hour, will help reduce CO2 emissions by 50 per cent in the next six years.
据英国《每日邮报》报道，日本推出一款不会留下任何废料的摩托车，因为其动能是粪便。这款名为'Toilet Bike Neo'的新奇摩托车是由日本知名卫浴用品制造商TOTO发明的。这款摩托车载配置了改良的马桶。有趣的的是，驾驶这辆车的人可以在路上随时使用这个移动的马桶，因为他的粪便可以立刻转化成生物燃料为摩托车提供动力。该公司希望这个移动的卫生间在未来6年中可以减少50%的二氧化碳排放量。这款摩托最大时速能达到50英里(约80.5公里）
