发帖数: 14194 | 7 如果美国人卡住helium的出口，再控制住卡塔尔的氦气出口（直接禁运就行），
在目前的基础上，氦气的价格翻5倍都跟玩似的。
真搞急了，可以直接给中国拔管。
这样搞得话，中国大学，科研机构的核磁，还有需要超低温的超导研究那摊子，
直接趴窝；中国医院的核磁共振仪等等，也直接歇菜了。
事实上，2007年，美国将氦气核定为战略物资而作出限制粗氦产量、限制氦气出口量等
一些举措来保护美国本土的氦气资源。导致全球液氦价格由原来60～80元/每升，
上涨到目前200元/每升以上，更是一度飙升到300元/升。现在价格已经超过300块了。
美国这边的英制单位和标准单位换算很蛋疼，但是价格飙涨是很明显的。
2018年9月1日的消息， 新出的氦气拍卖价格比一年前又涨了135%。
看看美国人卖氦气本事，再看看中国有水快流，贱卖稀土的水平，贸易战的结局
恐怕好不了。

Why I Am Not A Christian
What Is a Christian?
Nowadays it is not quite that. We have to be a little more vague in our
meaning of Christianity. I think, however, that there are two different
items which are quite essential to anybody calling himself a Christian. The
first is one of a dogmatic nature -- namely, that you must believe in God
and immortality. If you do not believe in those two things, I do not think
that you can properly call yourself a Christian. Then, further tha... 阅读全帖 |

一般应该是lender 出的，那么broker fee那部分就不需要LZ负担了。
ARP是把closing cost里的一部分计算到总的finance amount里面得出的一个rate，LZ
不必介意，真正的利息是按照note rate，来定的，前5年是4%。
不需要担心balloon，5/1 ARM不会造成balloon的。 |

Balloonin and oxytocin at the same time for induction of labor is not better
than balloon or oxytocin alone.
The above information is only for education. |

balloon做balloon animal，做出来真有成就感
第一个作品，最简单的小狗
稍微有气质的作品，天鹅
南瓜，比较难一点
最难的，小老虎，目前最满意的，但是可惜身子爆了 |

发帖数: 193 | 47 This is called direct catheterization which should be simple and easy. The
problem sounds like the catheter was looped inside the bladder and advance
into it resulting a knot. When baby''s urethra is so narrow and forcing
pulling out the knot, trauma can be caused at bladder neck. Baby's prostate
glands are very small, hopefully not injury done there.
There is no balloon with direct catheterization, so it should not be the
error not to deflate the balloon.
Follow with the urologists, they will g... 阅读全帖 |

一下我爱宝宝版，版上的妈妈们，准妈妈们，所有的人都很nice, 在这里也学到了很
多东西，得到了不少的建议和信息。
我的预产期是5月3号，可是从37周产检开一指之后就再也没有任何进展，39周的时候我
的ob帮我做了membranes stripping, 希望帮我加速开指。结果那天下午回到家确实有
一点点见红，当天晚上以为要生了，兴冲冲跑去医院，结果还是1指，灰溜溜的又回来
了。
5月 1号：产前最后一次产检，还是一指，50% dilation, position -2。医生笑着跟我
说”you have a very stubborn cervix”。最后决定5月3号去催产（之前一直纠结要
不要催，最后还是妥协了），还帮我约了第二天去放气球 （Foley balloon catheter
induction of labor）
5月2号：1:30pm 出发去种气球。3pm 种完气球，刚从医院出来肚子就开始阵痛了，痛

问一下你的PED就可以了
我的PED说如果有balloon, 就很容易感染，最好用一下药，让它打开
如果没有balloon, 就可以等它自然发育 |

发帖数: 8870 | 50 我只是说了那只是做梦呢。人家自己也说了那是在梦里，不过人家还说，my dream is
in my eyes.今天早上起来又说：“mommy, there are many ppl came to my house
with lots of balloons. they went to the kitchen and the balloons pop.”后来
又说明天是四年级的thanksgiving day，要穿playground clothes.后天是她们班某老
师的生日。我就在想啊，怎么尽梦见一些不高兴的事啊？另外，什么是playground
clothes (她们学校有uniform)?还有这个别的年级的给老师的thanksgiving day，我们
应该不用做什么事情吧？还有就是班里老师过生日，大家一般都要表示吗？要的话，怎
么做法？问题比较多呀，先谢谢了。 |
