Đỗ Phủ, Phụng tặng Vi Tả Thừa (杜甫, 奉贈韋左丞)
I need help from Pokémon GO players!! I'm doing a study on the game and will be very grateful if you can take a brief moment to answer this survey. Do feel free to forward it to other PG players.
Thanks a ton in advance!
This may be the truth but why is it ugly? I think the industry is what it ought to be. Imagine 100 pages of a beauty and fashion magazine only showcase average-looking women like those random girls you see every day on your way to the office, would you be more interested in that *beauty and fashion* magazine? Some critic but they may forget humans have fantasy and are inspired by ideal selves. Every now and then we enjoy unrealistic things. The publishers just offer the mainstream what the mainstream want. Consumers have freedom of choice.
Some blame the industry for manipulating standards of beauty for women. This may be but "standards" change over time and lots of factors rather than just beauty and fashion industry contribute to forming such standards. Do you think with his proposed "ideal proportions" of human body (easily seen in the statue of Venus de Milo) Leonardo was also manipulating the standards of beauty for women?
Where do stars come from and where do they go?
“It is very poetic to say that we are made from the dust of the stars. Amazingly, it’s also true! Much of our bodies, and our planet, are made of elements that were created in the explosions of massive stars. Let’s examine exactly how this can be.” (NASA’s Educators’ Corner)

Equinoxes: the products of celestial geometry.
“Because Earth is tilted on its axis, there are only two days a year when the sun shines down exactly over the equator, and the day/night line – called the terminator – runs straight from north to south. On these days, day and night are just about equal lengths across the globe.
In the Northern Hemisphere, the March equinox marks the beginning of spring – meaning that our half of Earth is slowly tilting towards the sun, giving us longer days and more sunlight, and moving us out of winter and into spring and summer.” - NASA
