Ailanthus altissima is a deciduous tree in the Ailanthus genus of the Simaroubaceae family. It is native to northeast and central China as well as Taiwan. Unlike other members of the genus Ailanthus, it is found in temperate climates rather than the tropics. The tree grows rapidly and is capable of reaching heights of 15 metres (50 ft) in 25 years. However, the species is also short-lived and rarely lives more than 50 years. A. altissima was first brought from China to Europe in the 1740s and to the United States in 1784. The plant has been spread to many other areas beyond its native range. In a number of these, it has become an invasive species due to its ability to quickly colonise disturbed areas and suppress competition with allelopathic chemicals. It is considered a noxious weed in Australia, the United States, New Zealand and several countries in southern and eastern Europe. The tree also re-sprouts vigorously when cut, making its eradication extremely difficult and time-consuming. In China, the tree of heaven has a long and rich history. It was mentioned in the oldest extant Chinese dictionary and listed in countless Chinese medical texts for its purported ability to cure ailments ranging from mental illness to balding. (more...)

Gilbert and Sullivan created fourteen comic operas, including H.M.S. Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance, and The Mikado, many of which are still frequently performed today. However, events around their 1889 collaboration, The Gondoliers, led to an argument and a lawsuit dividing the two. In 1891, after many failed attempts at reconciliation by the pair and their producer Richard D'Oyly Carte, Gilbert and Sullivan's music publisher, Tom Chappell, stepped in to mediate between two of his most profitable artists, and within two weeks he had succeeded. This cartoon in The Entr'acte expresses the magazine's pleasure at the reuniting of D'Oyly Carte (left), Gilbert (centre), and Sullivan (right).

【党国恶孽】殖民西藏――安多阿坝县3.16事件起因(图)

【党国恶孽】殖民西藏――安多阿坝县3.16事件起因(图) 西藏事件―安多阿坝县3.16事件起因(图) (博讯2008年04月04日发表) [日期：2008-04-04] 来源：唯色的博客作者：阿甚中国政府一直宣称拉萨的3.14事件以及波及整个藏区的一系列“暴乱”是“达赖集团”精心策划的“阴谋”，现在仅就在四川阿坝藏族羌族自治州阿坝县的事件对"暴乱"的起因进行说明。阿坝县位于中国四川省与青海省和甘肃省的交界，属于广义的安多藏区。该县有着众多的寺庙和大量的僧尼，总是被该省官员称作“和尚县”。由于该县众多的寺庙和僧人，所以藏族文化和宗教传统氛围也很浓郁，虽然该县近些年来几乎没有任何寺院僧人“闹事”的情况发生，以致不少人都以为是否该县文化上已趋于汉化了， ...
