It’s Fun to Know: A New Menu for the Olympics

By ETR

The Beijing Olympics are coming up in August, and Chinese officials have been preparing for it well in advance of the competitions. That includes encouraging restaurateurs to change the way certain foods are listed on restaurant menus. You see, the name of a dish in Chinese (which usually has something to do with its appearance or origin) doesn’t always translate well into English. Check out the examples below:

Traditional Chinese name: "Chicken without sexual life"

Alternate proposed by the government: "Steamed pullet" (A pullet is a young chicken that has not produced eggs.)

Traditional Chinese name: "Husband and wife’s lung slice"

Alternate proposed by the government: "Beef and ox tripe in chili sauce"

Traditional Chinese name: "Bean curd made by a pock-marked woman"

Alternate proposed by the government: "Mapo tofu"

Don't Have Any "Start Up" Funding?
It's a myth that you need venture capital or loads of your own money to start a business online. Thousands of today's most successful Internet businesses began as very small operations funded by a few hundred dollars and a great game plan. We have that game plan for you. It will give you fast growth, and you'll never have to worry about getting deep in debt.

Making Money Online Is Not Complicated
Most Internet marketing programs sound exciting at first. But soon you are totally confused and/or overwhelmed with complex terms and strategies. But the best way to make money online is actually the simplest. People predominantly use the Internet to check their email. And you can leverage that fact to make as much as $250 per day.

Stop Playing Standard Stock Market Games
Spend just 30 minutes a day in front of your computer – using “tactical surgical strikes” to hit the market where it hurts. You could be making $5,000, $10,000, or more per week – whether the market falls, soars, or goes sideways.
