~向日葵的奥秘.... (转载)

它是俄罗斯国花,象征着光明和希望。然则在希腊,要诉说的却是一段沉默的爱。 浪漫希腊神话 山泽女神原本无忧无虑地生活在美丽的自然间。可是有一天当她在林中漫步时,看到太阳神阿波罗驾着闪亮的马车在天际潇洒而过;从此她的目光就天天跟随着他,从东到西,从日出到日落。虽然尽职的阿波罗始终没留意到她,但她不惜为自己心仪的他默默守候。众神怜悯她的多情,于是把她变成一朵向阳花,让圆圆的花盘托着她的脸,天天追随着阿波罗,以眼神向他诉说着无声的爱恋。这则浪漫的希腊神话委实凄美感人。

对向日葵的赏悦

曾有学者以逻辑学理论,为文“拆穿”向日葵“向日”是不可能的事实。作家张抗抗的散文《向日葵》也对此存有怀疑。然则,向日葵又为什么被称为“向阳花”?一般人心目中“想当然耳”的事实难道真的只是神话故事?根据生物化学博士方是民研究所得:“向日葵从发芽到花盘盛开之前的确是向阳的,其叶子和花盘在白天追随太阳从东转向西,不过却落后太阳大约12度,即48分钟。太阳下山后,花盘又慢慢往回摆,在大约凌晨三点时,又朝向东方等待太阳升起……花盘一旦盛开,就不再向日转动,而是固定朝向东方……向日葵的花粉怕高温,如果温度高于30摄氏度,就会被灼伤,因此固定朝向东方,可以避免正午的阳光直射。” 感性的接收增添生活美,理性的领略累积知识。在感性与理性的融会中,有增无减的是人们对向日葵的赏悦。沈望傅在学院编特刊时,于文章的空白处加了一张葵花向阳的插图,可见她确实引人。虽然他因此被胡里胡涂地请去“喝咖啡”,即便喝了咖啡出来,他还是不明白向日葵何罪之有?

举世轰动梵高作品

向日葵,学名Helianthus Annuus,菊科向日葵属。原产北美洲。她除了具有视觉上的美以外,经济价值也很高。然而当今世界上最为“昂贵”的一朵值3985万美元(约新币6695万元)。那是举世轰动的梵高作品,于1968年3月30日在伦敦由克里斯汀拍卖公司卖出。 小时候,家里种过向日葵,其花盘直径足有一英尺多,所以花开时必须在母株旁插一长杆支撑着。告别童年后,再也不曾见过那么大朵的葵花,所以记忆里总也无法把儿时的太阳花抹掉。

旅途上多了份“花红”

新加坡栽种的向日葵不多。所以无论是在国内或国外看到向日葵时,总有莫名的欣喜。那年初冬访东欧,旅游车穿国过界,沿途总会看到大片农作物被铲掉后残留下来的枯枝干茎;导游说,如果是秋天经过这里,便会看到一大片绵延不绝的黄色花海,地里那些残存都是向日葵枯干的躯干。只是不知道花魂是否还在园地里流连? 游云南,乍见路旁黄花摇曳生姿,停车只为了说不尽的兴奋。园地里虽然有花,但是务实的农民也种了一些匍匐在地上的瓜类,瓜的生长把土地的养分给分掉了,加上农人似乎无暇理会枯萎的枝叶,因此这些花显得单薄,幸好云南的天空很洁净,蓝天白云把花色照映得生气怡然,才让少见向日葵的我们在旅途上多了一份“花红”。

邂逅遍地葵花

秋游北海道,在薰衣草的紫色渐渐退隐的当儿,意外与遍地的葵花邂逅。惊讶的是但凡途经此处,没有不下车驻足者!光看当然还不够,最忙的就是迫不及待的照相机了!啊!人生中不曾被安排的惊喜,确乎比日夜汲营所得来的结果更令人陶醉! 既然向日葵属于太阳又有那么多人喜欢,那么,在我们这终年是夏的土地上,可否考虑让多情的黄影如紫红九重葛那样遍地开放?虽然向日葵的照料不比九重葛简易,不过花园城市的愿景应该百花齐放,对吗?

Make no mistake: Our mission at Tip Top Equities is to sift through the thousands of underperforming companies out there to find the golden needle in the haystack. A stock worthy of your investment. A stock with the potential for big returns. More often than not, the stocks we profile show a significant increase in stock price, sometimes in days, not months or years. We have come across what we feel is one of those rare deals that the public has not heard about yet. Read on to find out more.

Nano Superlattice Technology Inc. (OTCBB Symbol: NSLT) is a nanotechnology company engaged in the coating of tools and components with nano structured PVD coatings for high-tech industries.

Nano utilizes Arc Bond Sputtering and Superlattice technology to apply multi-layers of super-hard elemental coatings on an array of precision products to achieve a variety of physical properties. The application of the coating on industrial products is designed to change their physical properties, improving a product's durability, resistance, chemical and physical characteristics as well as performance. Nano's super-hard alloy coating materials were especially developed for printed circuit board drills in response to special market requirements

The cutting of circuit boards causes severe wear on the cutting edge of drills and routers. With the increased miniaturization of personal electronics devices the dimensions of holes and cut aways are currently less than 0.2 mm. Nano coats tools with an ultra thin coating (only a few nanometers in thickness) of nitrides which can have a hardness of up to half that of diamond. This has proven to increase tool life by almost ten times. Nano plans to continue research and development into these techniques due to the vast application range for this type of nanotechnology

We believe that Nano is a company on the move. With today�s steady move towards miniaturization we feel that Nano is a company with the right product at the right time. It is our opinion that an investment in Nano will produce great returns for our readers.
