The Four Treasures of the Study is a general term for a set of tools for painting and writing in ancient China, namely paper, ink, brush pen and ink stone. The name appears to originate in the time of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Different from the pen we use for writing, the “penpoint”of the Chinese writing brush is soft and big. They are generally made from animal hair, say, the rabbit, the sheep, the wolf, etc. Penholders are commonly constructed from bamboo, but special brushes may have handles of jade, carved ivory, or other precious materials. The most famous paper used for Chinese calligraphy and Chinese painting is rice paper, also named as Xuan paper. The paper is thin and light, and has a remarkable longevity. The quality of the Four Treasures of the Study plays a decisive role in one’s painting and calligraphy. Therefore, scholars engaging in
traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy attached much importance to the choice of the tools.

An oral treatment for peanut allergy is still effective four years after it was administered, a study has found.
林俊杰 曹操Children were given a probiotic, with a peanut protein, daily for 18 months. When tested one month later, 80% could tolerate peanuts without any allergic symptoms and after four years, 70% of them were still able to eat peanuts without suffering any side-effects.
Food allergies have risen dramatically in recent decades, with peanut allergy one of the most deadly. Lead researcher Prof Mimi Tang, of Murdoch Children’s Research Institute in Melbourne, said half the children were consuming peanuts regularly while others were only eating them infrequently. “The importance of this finding is that these children were able to eat peanuts like children who don’t have peanut allergy and still maintain their tolerant state, protected against reactions to peanuts,” she said. Prof Tang said it was the first time a treatment for peanut allergy had been shown to be effective for this long.

Amazon has launched a service in the U.S. offering daily “essentials” for collection within two minutes of ordering.
The items available in Instant Pickup include snacks, cold drinks, smartphone chargers and Amazon devices.
The move poses a threat to bricks-and-mortar convenience stores, but one expert questioned its appeal. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has criticized Amazon on Twitter for harming other retailers. The new service will enable Prime and Prime Student members to use the Amazon app to order items they need urgently from a curated collection of popular products.
Amazon employees at the pickup points then process the order, and it will be available to collect from a self-service locker within two minutes. For now, the service will be available at only one location in each of: Los Angeles, Berkeley, Atlanta, Ohio, College Park, and Maryland. The online retail giant already operates 22 manned pickup locations on or near university campuses in the country.

For many of us, the distinctive chimes of an ice cream van conjure up happy childhood memories of British summers and dripping ice lollies. But the number of ice cream vans has been falling for years, leading some to believe that those bells may mean nothing to future generations of children.
A crop of small, family-run businesses is determined to keep the industry alive however. These ice cream entrepreneurs have found business models that enable them to thrive in a market dominated by large retailers. And some have even dipped their toes in the export market.

One such success story is Londoner John Bonar, 53, who started selli ng ice cream when he was just 11. “We would get on a lorry in the East End, fill barrows full of ice cream, get dropped off around Hyde Park or Madame Tussauds and just sell ice cream,” he tells me.
He launched his own business at the age of 21, selling ice cream from a van with a hole in the floor and windscreen wipers that didn’t work. Today his firm Piccadilly Whip operates 20 ice cream vans in
