  • 雪花飘飘 北风萧萧 天地一片苍茫 一剪寒梅 傲立雪中 只为伊人飘香 爱我所爱 无怨无悔 此情长留心间 雪花飘飘 北风萧萧 天地一片苍茫 一剪寒梅 傲立雪中 只为伊人飘香 爱我所爱 无怨无悔 此情长留心间

    Snowflakes flutter, the north wind howls, The world is a vast expanse of white, A lone plum blossom stands proudly in the snow, Its fragrance is offered only for her. I love what I love, without regret, This love will forever remain in my heart.

    Is this translation correct? If so, I don’t understand how this poetry is related; unless it’s all a metaphor that’s subtext for some kind of political message.








  • These cone things are for rats and mice. When you put them into a tunnel shaped object, their instinct is to crawl forward. So they crawl all the way up, and their face sticks out the other end so they can breathe. You close up the bag/tunnel behind them with your hand, then you can flip them over and inject them with what ever your are testing. For those that never worked with animals, or just don’t have the dexterity to scruff the neck and grab the tail with one hand, this is a godsend. I also used these at the end of my experiments to decapitate my rats so I could harvest their brains to test that tissue for stuff. (I had to decapitate without anesthesia because we were studying phosphorylation of proteins in the brain, and most anesthesia absolutely fucks with that shit on its own.) I still have trauma from that work 15 years later.
