"A time to plant, a time to reap that which is planted."
An analogy: You can talk about love, which certainly is fun, or you can make love, which also is good.
As Pete Seeger sang: "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven."
We may swing back around, with enough new rebooting under our belts, with a need to talk about it some more.
“
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, a time to reap that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

獨立特派員214集{打開自閉--尋援}part1/2 & 2/2
自閉症是台灣近年來身心障礙人口中增加最快的族群，
一年成長11%，約一萬多人，
目前這樣的現象還沒能引起大家普遍的重視。
獨立特派員從2007年起持續追蹤一名自閉症兒童一登，曾經因為經常發生頭撞擊牆壁和桌椅發生許多次的意外，甚至有一年還住進了加護病房22天。他後來到日本，進入特教學校和住宿機構，今年我們去探望他，看到了一登的笑容，還有，他會開口講話了。這是多麼讓人感動的一場跨海求醫記。
不少自閉症患者在醫療界對這種疾病不夠了解時，
可能會被當成精神病，讓病人和家庭蒙受更多不幸。
日本是一個很有社會福利精神的國家，他們每五十萬人就設立一個兒童相談所，協助家有身心障礙兒童的父母尋找醫療和照護資源。今年三十多歲的雕刻家上田，是一個自閉症患者，當年也就是透過了這樣的機構重新找回彩色的人生。一登的父母看到他的作品，彷彿看到一登未來的希望。繼續跟我們一起來看這個讓人感動的故事。
獨立特派員214集{農地不休耕}
當全世界都在擔心鬧糧荒，
台灣卻有很多農田在休耕，甚至廢耕，
還有的轉了幾手變成建地蓋起豪宅！
目前稻米耕作面積只剩下 25萬公頃，不到以前的三分之一！
原因是，台灣人米吃得越來越少，只有以前的一半；還有，農業根本養不活一家人，年輕人不願意做，所以農村老化。政府現在感受到安全糧食存量的重要，正研究所謂「活化休耕」，也鼓勵復耕，六龜就有一戶人家，都八十幾歲了，還是每天下田，他們也嘗試在檳榔樹下種稻，希望能做個實驗，讓很多改種檳榔的農民也跟進，目的在自給自足。一起來看，他們堅持農地不休耕的故事。
Cracking a Hydrocarbon
Liquid paraffin (a mixture of alkanes of chain length C20 and greater) is vaporised and passed over a hot pumice stone catalyst. A gaseous product is obtained which is flammable and which will decolorise bromine water and acidified permanganate ions. The same apparatus and method can be used to dehydrate ethanol.

Google has launched a social networking tool called Google Plus. It is aimed at dethroning the field's crowned king - Facebook.
Niall Ferguson: The 6 killer apps of prosperity
ABOUT THIS TALK
Over the past few centuries, Western cultures have been very good at creating general prosperity for themselves. Historian Niall Ferguson asks: Why the West, and less so the rest? He suggests half a dozen big ideas from Western culture -- call them the 6 killer apps -- that promote wealth, stability and innovation. And in this new century, he says, these apps are all shareable.
