The Worldâs Most Grueling Race Journeys 1,000 Miles Down the Yukon
Itâs not clear who first discovered the gold. Even that word âdiscoveredâ is a misnomer. The local Tlingit and Tagish tribes were both well aware of its presence along the river decades before Westerners started drawing it from the ground; theyâd simply had no use for the stuff. Perhaps itâs better to say itâs not clear who first exploited the goldâwho helped inspire some 100,000 prospectors to make the arduous trip to the Yukon Territory in northwest Canada, a migration that became known as the Klondike Gold Rush.

Sharing is sweet
As mobile phones become more and more versatile, do you ever miss a simple letter? When the new house is decorated magnificently, do you ever miss the simplicity of the old house? When a woman on the street than a dress enchanting gorgeous, do you miss the simple pure plain face up next door girl? The pursuit of a simple life, life is becoming more and more not simple. The train of life at an unprecedented speed without stopping to complex, and from the simple parting ways. Isn't that so? People increasingly prefer complex things: the more functions of electrical products the better, the more pendants on mobile phones the better, the more things on wrists, ankles, necks and ears the better... And the simple beauty is increasingly neglected. People only know to pursue more, but do not know that more is not necessarily better. What people wanted in life used to be pretty simple -- a place to live, a handful of food, a scoop of water. However, people are insatiable pursuit, so that life loses its simple and simple beauty. Too many complicated beautiful illusion cover up the true face of life, how people to pursue the true meaning of life? In Liu Yuxi's "Inscription on His No.38," what his no.38 described was simple: "no music ears, no work meant by documents". But this did not affect the quality of life and taste of Liu Woo-xi, "talk and laugh of great Confucian, no white people, can tune the suqin, read the Jin Sutra". He found a supreme pleasure in this simple life. The same goes for Tao Yuanming, who "gathers chrysanthemums under the east hedge", and Lin Hejing, who "plums his wife and cranks his children". They are far away from the noise of the world and the disturbance of the world, and live a simple life back to its original simplicity. This kind of indifferent poetic dwelling is not what our impetuous inner heart is missing? Now there is Qi Baishi, who is famous for his exquisite skill in painting shrimp. In his later years, he lived a simple life of clothes, vegetables and food like ordinary people. The same is true of Ji Xianlin, a scholar whose life is simple and even crude. However, this does not affect the status of the two masters in the history of Chinese culture in the least, but thus achieved a beautiful conversation. And this simple and simple life reflects a kind of noble quality on their body, said here, you can not experience a kind of simple beauty?

Early Apes Lived on Savannahs, Not in Forests
Apes were supposed to be tied to the trees. Around 21 million years ago, during a time paleontologists know as the Miocene, whatâs now Uganda was thought to be a lush, humid forest where early apes clambered over canopy branches in search of fruit. But a pair of new studies have overturned the established view, changing the setting in which paleontologists think the first apes evolved.
