Stockholm Local History
A fort was Strategically constructed in the mid 13th century by Birger Jarl on one of the islets where the fresh water entered the sea, and the traffic on the waterways were controlled by using timber stocks arranged as a fence or boom. Stockholm gets it name from this boom, Stockholm literally means 'tree-trunk islet.
The Oldest record of the city is dated 1252 and within a hundred years, Stockholm was the largest city in Sweden, dominated by an impregnable castle and surrounded by a defensive wall. The castle was never taken by force.
In the 15th century Stockholm became a significant commercial centre. Shipping of copper and iron to Europe was a lucrative trade, which was dominated by German merchants. The Danish King Christian I tried to besiege Stockholm in 1471, but was unsuccessful and retreated to Copenhagen. Trouble continued and things escalated in 1520 when city burghers, bishops and nobility agreed to meet the Danish King Christian II in Stockholm. At a banquet King Christian II arrested them and after a quick trial were found guilty of burning down the archbishop's castle near Sigtuna. The next day 82 men were beheaded at Stortorget (the main square by the castle). This event became known as the 'Stockholm Blood Bath' because after the beheadings it started to rain and the streets of Stockholm were flowing with blood.
In the 18th century science and art blossomed which allowed the creation of institutions and fine buildings. Today Stockholmer's live in high-rise suburbs built around pine forest and lakesides around the capital. They have a highly efficient infrastructure and one of the safest subway systems in the world. The city streets are relatively clean and safe.

章鱼,鱿鱼,墨鱼的区别
(部分内容来自Wikipedia)
章鱼(Octopus),又称石居、八爪鱼、坐蛸、石吸、望潮、死牛,属软体动物门头足纲八腕目(Octopoda)。章鱼有八个腕足,腕足上有很多吸盘,会喷墨。
章鱼是很好的食材。章鱼的墨汁对人类无害,可用于烹饪。但对于生吃章鱼需谨慎,防止吸盘吸附在消化系统上,引起窒息。在中国南方地区,通常认为用章鱼干来煲汤,有下火的功效。
章鱼少有天敌,但其中鳝鱼和鲨鱼是少數能壓倒性制服章魚的海洋天敵,牠們能將章魚的觸手逐一咬斷。此外,章鱼喜欢钻进任何洞穴内,因此一些渔民会以此特制出沉在海底的蛸壶,章鱼进入以后就无法逃出。
鱿鱼(Squid),又称句公、柔鱼或枪乌贼, 属软体动物门头足纲管鱿目。身体细长,呈长锥形,体内一半透明的软骨。总共有十只触腕,其中八只短腿,两只长触须。夜晚喜光,故沿海渔民捕捉时,用汽灯光引诱其浮上水面,再用网捞迅速从其后堵住逃走方向,将其捕捉。
作为食材,鱿鱼在中国、日本、韩国、意大利、希腊、西班牙、葡萄牙、印度和土耳其地区都非常流行,但吃法不尽相同。在英语国家,当鱿鱼被用作食物时,人们通常用Calamari(意大利语),而不是Squid。此外,鱿鱼通常也会被宰杀后晒干制成鱿鱼干(又称为吊片)。但鱿鱼的胆固醇含量偏高,高血压患者和老年人群不要过量食用。
墨鱼(Cuttlefish),又称乌贼、花枝、墨斗(鱼),属软体动物门头足纲乌贼目。墨鱼也有十条腕足,但与鱿鱼不同的是,它们都一般长(这种说法并不准确)。此外,墨鱼体内有硬质的墨鱼骨,用途广泛,曾被用作装饰、牙膏添加剂和食物种的钙补充剂。在中医里,墨鱼骨(海螵蛸)磨粉有止血功效。有普通的海鱼要想捕猎乌贼是不容易,乌贼的墨汁還含有毒素,可以用來麻痺敵害,海豚是烏賊的天敵之一,海豚绕过烟幕,穷追乌贼,只吃头,不吃身,海豚能吞下成百只乌贼的头。

简单实用的停车入位(图解加说明)
(转载自http://www.360doc.com/content/10/0525/11/882707_29407001.shtml)
1.如何对付“非”字型停车位
这种停车位最常在地下车库、露天停车场出现,相信大家经常看见有人停车的效果,不是往某一边偏了就是车摆的不正,现在就来分享一种简单的方法,保证你练熟之后车能停的十分标准。为了让大家看的明白,我们把动作分步骤分解开来。
接下来要介绍的可能会更受关注:侧方停车的方法。对很多新手而言马路边的侧方停车简直就是噩梦,方向盘揉烂了都停不进去,听着后面车辆不耐烦的喇叭声,手忙脚乱也是在所难免了。别急,现在就来传授真经。
这种停车位最常在地下车库、露天停车场出现,相信大家经常看见有人停车的效果,不是往某一边偏了就是车摆的不正,现在就来分享一种简单的方法,保证你练熟之后车能停的十分标准。为了让大家看的明白,我们把动作分步骤分解开来。
当然不是不停的开下去,往前开是为了寻找恰当的位置停下。停在哪呢?这里请用你自己所坐的驾驶位为基准,当你所在的位置来到了你想停的那个车位的隔壁的隔壁时就可以了(听起来很拗口......),简单说就是把你自己横在隔一个车位的正前方。
现在很多车都已经配备了电动调节的外后视镜,我在这里强烈建议各位新手在倒车过程中使用这一功能!在倒车前就把两块镜面调节到偏低的角度,能够观察到车身后部腰线一下的位置,这样才能在倒车过程中最大限度的防止发生刮蹭旁边车辆的情况。
于是我们改进了方法:在寻找起始位置的步骤中,我们没有在隔一个车位的正前方停下,而是继续往前开了半个车位的宽度,也就是说驾驶者的位置处在隔壁的隔壁和隔壁的隔壁的隔壁交界的地方(更加拗口......),这时再打满方向倒车,成功入位!
综上所述,这种入位方法还是相当简单实用的,只是不同的车再寻找倒车前的起始位置时会有所差异。绝大部分家用车都可以使用第一条套路,也是标准的方法。而向哈弗这样的大尺寸车型,则要稍稍把倒车时机推后一些。具体的掌握则要靠多加练习来巩固,相信每位车主都能用自己的爱车来玩转这种倒车入位方法。
2.如何对付侧方停车接下来要介绍的可能会更受关注:侧方停车的方法。对很多新手而言马路边的侧方停车简直就是噩梦,方向盘揉烂了都停不进去,听着后面车辆不耐烦的喇叭声,手忙脚乱也是在所难免了。别急,现在就来传授真经。
当你车身所在的直线与停车位的直线之间呈45度夹角的时候,停止倒车。怎么了?掌握不好45度的范围?没关系,有一个简单的方法来判断:按照这个套路来倒 车,45度出现的时候,你的车头跟前车车尾的连线差不多会和车位垂直,换句话说,当你的车头后退到跟前车尾一条水平线的时候就差不多了。
后视镜的镜面是一个弧面,这种设计能让你有更大范围的视野,但同时也会让物体间的距离失真。所以从镜子里观察车尾时,以为就要蹭上墙面了,其实还有挺大一 段距离,另外现在大部分车都有了倒车雷达,你也可以在它的辅助下尽量安全的入位。不过勤练习总是没错的,掌握好距离感在侧方停车时尤为重要。
为了验证这种方法的实用性,哈弗又 上场了。如果你的车也是这种高大的品种,在倒车过程中,更要记得合理使用外后视镜了,有些车主喜欢侧过身去扶着副驾驶的椅背倒车,甚至驾校的教练有些也会 这么教,实际上这种方法最好只在直线倒车以及比较空旷的地方使用,因为转身所造成的盲区要比使用后视镜大得多,所以我们并不推荐大家在倒车时只靠转身直接 看而不注重后视镜的作用。
