Ellen Ning Zhao's musing between sense and sensibility

I do not consider myself a skincare / perfume / makeup product geek but recently I have been obsessed by several products from Annayake. It is said that Annayake’s skincare products are actually the Pola thing from Japan. Its perfume and cosmetic products are made in Europe, but under Japanese themes. Today I will review [...]

看到师太最近的一篇小文， 题为艰巨： 以前，女子多数一结婚就胖，生了孩子，进展成为肥大，体重增长有时可达百分之五十以上，十分惊人，全柜服饰需要更换，所费不菲。 新一代太太好似没有这种忧虑，从报上看诸名媛生育前后图片，几乎两三星期内即可恢复苗条原状，且精神奕奕，随同夫婿出席宴会，甚至外出旅行主持工作会议，生活丝毫不受影响。 友人中不少已婚并拥有孩子，多年来均穿三十八号衣服，食量惊人，体重不变，因为工作量至巨至可怖吧，办公室里劳碌十余小时后返回家中，还需亲近孩子，抓举挺举数百回合，练得双臂腰身大腿似钢条，状况犹胜旧时。 都说也没有坐月子这回事了，在医院做完手术第二天便可到处游走，再隔三日出院，正常操作，指挥公事私事，待拆线时始回医务所。 听上去如金刚不坏之身，西医亦不推荐传统补品，新派妇女也不觉任何损失，时间经济允许的话，三两年后，再来一名，出生入死，视作等闲。 所需毅力、精神、忍耐，亦不会比读一张文凭或创业更加艰巨。 因此无论如何，胖不起来。 来源： 亦舒博客 我读了很有共鸣。 这里简单回顾一下生下宝宝后近两年来的艰辛。 我怀孕时每天自己来回倒六班车通勤 80 公里上下班。 全天工作， 直到预产期前六个礼拜。 回了家还要开火做饭喂老公。 怀孕时， 运气和身体都还好， 一次孕吐也没有过。 胃口太好， 下班看到火车站里的冰淇淋就走不动路， 天天买两个球吃， 到临产时体重几乎 90 公斤。 宝宝落地以后， 最长两个小时就要吃奶。 医生说这样的小孩是有的， 很正常。 我什么办法也没有。 每天至少 12 次的母乳喂奶就把我累到动弹不得。 每次给宝宝换尿片我都要挣扎到眼前发黑， 一身虚汗。 德国不兴请月嫂请保姆什么的， 甚至不认为女人生孩子是多大的苦差事。 我婆婆来看我时， 都不过问我的身体好坏， 尽记得说她自己如何了得， 刚生了孩子还一样做饭做家务， 我要以她为标杆……我当时血压只有 40/70, 躺在医院的病床上半死不活起都起不来。 听她这么说， 心想你还不如不来看我， 尽给我添堵了。 她第二天就走了， 我心情又好一点。 幸好产后妈妈帮了我一个多月， 否则我真的无法想象怎样怎样度过那段日子。

Some key facts of Nissan Leaf that help me to consider it a highly viable option as a car for commuter: 100+ km drive range upon one charge Electricity cost: about two euros per 100 km (!!!) New car price: about 35k euros Potential problems: Far too few fast-charge stations in Germany Most German people [...]

What makes something a service is the way it’s constructed and the way it interacts and is used within a system. - SOA Patterns, p218
....just for the heck of it. SOA has a lot of advantages, but it’s not the solution for every problem. - from the book "SOA Patterns"
If it’s a good fit for your project, don’t feel the need to call it SOA or to overload it with SOA-related technologies....- to be continued
There are many successful deployments of three-tiered solutions.....- to be continued.
It’s important to note that the three-tiered architecture mentioned earlier is a viable architecture. - to be continued.
