怪怪食物
Bizarre foods at Beijing's night market  By Clarissa Wei  CNN

when I arrived at Donghuamen Night Market (北京东华门夜市), a street food landmark in Beijing, the plates were heaped with bugs and unconventional animal parts.

Here’s the six weirdest items.

1. Fried scorpions

According to the vendors, frying scorpions neutralizes their poison. The tail, ironically, is the most nutritious part.

TCM masterpiece "Compendium of Materia Medica" (written in the 16th century) promoted scorpion as a precious ingredient, with such medicinal values reducing pain and promoting the circulation.

2. Silkworm cocoons

With a crispy dark brown outer shell, the silkworm cocoon is not the most palatable insect. It’s spongy on the inside with a bit of slime.

It has a nutty flavor similar to shrimp, but some people find its texture plain disgusting.

It’s hot inside and can burn your tongue if you’re not careful.

3. Centipedes

It’s hard to maneuver this long and leggy insect into mouth. They’re bitter, but taste better seasoned with salt and pepper.

Bring some dental floss -- their sharp legs will get stuck in your teeth.

4. Locusts

Chewing on locusts is nothing new in Asia. Japanese and Thais are partial to them too.

Donghuamen vendors tout these six-legged insects as an environmentally friendly alternative to meat, and also for their high fiber content.

Loaded with protein, deep-fried locust tastes a bit like fried chicken.

女人是較佳的領導者?
Are women better leaders than men? 43% Say Yes   57% Say No  (debate.org)
    Yes in some ways.

    A woman is not always thought to be dominant, but the best leadership has a low key dominance. It works from an understanding of what motivates people to act instead of forcing them to act. In that regard, women can be better leaders and negotiators than men because they don't have cultural history to uphold.
   
    Women are better leaders than men.

    Women are better leaders than men. This is because women usually think about every decision that they make compared to men when they make snap decisions. I think it depends on the role that they are assuming and what decisions are important to them but overall women make better leaders.
  
    Women can be better leaders than men.

    Men have some inherent leadership qualities. Women, however, as leaders of families are very good at thinking outside the box and being attentive to details. Because women have had to fight for equality in the workplace, they are also bring a lot of passion to leadership positions and do not take them for granted in the way that some men might.
           
    No, women are not better leaders than men.

    The truth of this is that women and men are equal in their abilities to lead. Both sexes are capable of leading in a number of ways. The ability of a leader is a lot more complicated than sex. It is more the character and ability of the individual that decides how effective they lead.
        
    No, not really.

    I do not believe gender plays a role in who is the better leader. When it comes to leading what needs to be considered is the persons thought process and how they deal in a crisis. Women and men are both capable of being great leaders, it all comes down to the individual.
Questions:
Are women better leaders than men?
Why women may be better leaders than men?
What are the skills women better than men?
Are women better than men in the workplace?
Do women make good managers?
