But a Japanese report recently warned the public that the padding may contain harmful ingredients like formaldehyde or toluene, which, breathed in over the long term, may have detrimental effects on health or even cause cancer.

CHINESE AMERICAN COOKING STUDENT
(What the teachers stress is outward appearance. In general, there are three things we look at: color, scent, and flavor. With improved cookware and decor, the dishes we make are high in added-value, and creative as well. With changes in decor, we can continue on eternally. This is my greatest gain.)
Students received 2 certificates at the commencement, from the OCAC and the university, respectively. Both institutions wished to acknowledge the efforts of the overseas Chinese cooks.

＜ 電腦放膝上 男生會不孕 ＞
　　Using laptop this way would decrease man's sperm count by 40% in every 15 minutes. This is not a joke. A medical research conducted by New York State University showed that put laptop on laps would decrease number of sperm count. 29 men were asked to put a laptop on their laps and continuously use it for an hour. Result was the temperature of all 29 men's right and left scrotum increased by 2 degrees in Celsius. The temperature of the laptops even went as high as 40 degrees Celsius. Doctors warn everyone to better keep a distance with the high technology products. To put the laptop on the table rather than on the laps is the smart way to do.
