The Mahabodhi Temple




The Mahabodhi Temple (Burmese: [məhà bɔ́dḭ tɕáʊɴ]) is a Buddhist temple located in Bagan, Burma. It was built in the mid-13th century during the reign of King Htilominlo, and is modelled after the Mahabodhi Temple, which is located in Bihar, India. The temple is built in an architectural style typical during the Gupta period, and contains a large pyramidal tower with many niches containing over 450 images of Buddha. The temple survived the 1975 earthquake, and was repaired in following years.

马来西亚没救了!



住在甲洞的朋友们,你们要小心提防!!!
甲洞出现匪徒!他们专门趁着受害者不留意时用頭盔敲头,然后抢手袋!已经有一位婦女中招了!!!婦女被打到昏迷失憶!

这起攫夺案发生上週四(16日)晚上约7时,受害者陈凤珍(47岁,会计执行员)如常在下班后搭乘火车返家,在抵站步行回家途中,两名骑摩多的匪徒从后而至,以头盔当武器敲击她的头部,之后再强行夺走手提袋。



一名47岁单身妇女放工回家途中遇劫,匪徒先以头盔猛敲她的头部,再强行攫夺手提袋,使她当场重创昏迷,被路人送往医院急救;昏迷一天醒来后,相信因左右脑出血引发失忆后遗症,加上曾经受到过度的惊嚇,仅勉强认得身边亲属,对案发经过只字不提。

根据该妇女的家属披露,受害者昏迷清醒后,眼神失去焦距,且无法说话;情况直至3天后才稍为看见事物,不过只能说出简单的单字;对於家人提问有关劫案损失
的財物,则一律拒绝回应。

家属希望,案发当天恰巧目睹劫案过程的民眾能够提供更多线索,以便警方能够顺利展开调查。

Heineken Cube




Complex.com‘s Nick Schonberger recently asked you to, “Imagine being able to really fill a fridge with beer. No space lost.”

He asks the question as he introduces us to Heineken’s new “cube”; a brilliantly simple concept from the mind of designer Petit Romain of France that is so obvious you sort of have to ponder why it’s never been done before. The cube concept pitches several advantages that range from the economic, to the environmental. Quite simnply, a cubed bottle is easier to store for manufacture, more efficient to transport and finally, store in the fridge. By maximising spatial usage, there should be long term fuel economy gains that in turn minimise carbon footprint. This green cubed bottle really may be the greenest bottle ever.

So, it seems the only questions left are; ‘Does it look any good?’ and ‘Is it as easy to drink as from a typical bottle?’.

Well, we think it looks pretty awesome, and can’t wait to see a 12-pack stacked in our mini-fridge. But we’re not yet convinced that the ease of consumption is up there with the bottle. The model in the image below seems to be drinking just fine, but it’s much wider and – we’d assume – harder to grip. That said, we feel the comfort sacrifice is more than worth the benefits!


V-CUBE™ won a silver award in the "Other markets - Entertainment" category for the pioneering V-CUBE 2™ packaging in Pentawards, which is the first on-line global awards competition devoted entirely to packaging design.

Amongst the Pentawards winners this year were some of the most famous brands worldwide like Coca Cola, Jack Daniels, Davidoff and Heineken. The only other toy to have ever won an award prior to that was Pokemon (Silver - 2009).
