  This is a story about a drop of blood. Not just some ordinary drop of blood. No, but a very special drop of blood.
  Her journey begins when Tyler decides he’s going to donate. Our little blood drop and Tyler had been virtually inseparable, but one afternoon, Indiana Blood Center visited Tyler’s employer, and a number of his coworkers were donating. So he figured “What else was more worth while in the next hour than saving lives?” Plus he heard they had great cookies. So he filled out the appropriate paperwork and received a mini-physical to ensure he was in tiptop shape.
  After being prepped, Tyler took a comfortable seat, raised his sleeve, and, before he knew it, our blood drop was on her way.
  Thanks Tyler.
  Remember, this was a special blood drop with many powerful components.
  First things first. The blood is filtered, then the components are separated. Red blood cells are used in trauma, during surgeries and for treating cancer patients. Plasma is used to treat burn victims and patients with liver diseases. And, finally, plasma can be divided to become cryoprecipitate. Cryo is used to treat massive hemorrhaging. Voice: Wow!
   Amazing! One unit of blood can save three lives.
  There we go. A perfect split. Three separate blood components ready to help three Indiana patients.
   And off she went to help supply more than 60 hospitals across Indiana.
   The amazing power of a drop of blood. Not just some ordinary drop of blood. No, but a very special drop of blood.
   Indiana Blood Center depends on more than 500 donors each day. Every drop counts. So, please, raise your sleeve and give today.
  
   這是个关于一滴血的故事。这并不是普通的一滴血,不是,而是非常特别的一滴血。
   她的旅程始于泰勒决定要献血之时。我们的小血滴和泰勒实际上是一体的,但是一天下午,印第安纳州血液中心工作人员拜访泰勒的老板,然后他的很多同事开始捐血。于是他想:“在接下来的一个小时内有什么比拯救生命更值得的事情吗?”而且还听说他们有很好吃的饼干。所以他填写了表格,然后接受了简单的身体检查以确保自己的身体处于可献血的最佳状态。
   在准备好接受抽血前,泰勒舒舒服服地坐下来,卷起袖子,然后,他还没弄明白怎么回事,小血滴已经在路上了。
   谢谢你,泰勒。
   记住,这可是一滴特别的小血滴,包含着许多效力强大的成分。
   先从重要的开始说。血液被过滤后,各种成分被分离开来。红细胞用于外伤,可用于外科手术和治疗癌症患者。血浆用于治疗烧伤患者和肝脏疾病患者。最终,血浆能被分离成为冷凝蛋白质。冷凝蛋白质用于治疗大量内出血。画外音:哇!
   太不可思议了!一个单位的血能拯救三条性命。
   就这样,完美的分离。三种分离的血液成分准备要用于救助三个印第安纳州的患者。
   然后这批血就去帮助供应印第安纳州的六十多家医院。一滴血有着不可思议的力量。这并不是普通的一滴血,不是,而是非常特别的一滴血。
   印第安纳州血液中心每天得助于五百多个献血者。每滴血都至关重要。所以,请卷起你的袖子,今天就做出你的贡献吧!

我们所处的是一个价值观多元的时代,但纵观当下,却遗憾地发现人们的价值观单一得有些可怕,逃过不钱权名利。  人活着就是活一个价值观,周国平先生如是说。中国人的价值观常常会走两个极端:一是太虚,只顾坐而论道,飘飘乎清谈;二是太实,只顾低头觅食,凡事以是否有用为标准。一块面包和一朵水仙花才是我们应当选择的最优组合。我们不否认对物质的追求,对适当物质的追求是为了获得精神上的自由,而过度的追求则是给精神戴上
里约奥运会赢得了全世界的瞩目。当奥运圣火熄灭时,我们以为一切重归平静,但却忘了,接下来还有这样一群人,用他们不完整或不健全的身体书写着礼赞生命的教科书。他们一张张写满刚毅的脸,一个个顽强拼搏的身躯,在奥运五环的见证下表现出自强不息、超越自我的精神品质,同时也留下了许多震撼人心的瞬间。  这里的每一张照片都讲述着一个故事。这里的每一个人都是一个奇迹。  人可能会有残缺的身体,但不会有残缺的生命;人可
工作上有新項目要完成,先在朋友圈发一下,看看反馈。遇到困难需要解决办法,在朋友圈发帖求助,没准儿一会儿就有能帮忙的人出现。需要帮助的时候,人们越来越倾向于找通过电脑彼此连接的人帮忙。这就是朋友圈里的人脉关系,那么这种人脉关系跟传统意义上的向自己朋友咨询意见的方式和作用有什么不同,我们来听听Gordon怎么说。   Melanie: Hey, Gordon. ①Could I pick your

能力的前面有一扇门,要想步入这个繁花似锦的境地,必须有一把能打开这扇门的钥匙。  古往今来,无数成功者的足迹都在印证着这一条亘古不变的真理。  张衡是成功的。他凭他的一份喜欢,在汉代天文历法术数方面做出了超人的成绩,制造了世界上第一台地震仪——候风地动仪,编写了世界上第一部天文历法文献——《灵宪》,研制出世界上第一代天球仪——浑天仪。可以说,是喜欢成就了张衡的贡献,奠定了他在中国乃至世界天文史上的
