More than 2.25 billion cups of coffee are consumed across the globe each day, and it¡¯s likely that many taste bitter.

Now, a new study suggests that coffee fans can make their drink taste sweeter by simply changing the colour of their cups.

Scientists claim that blue and glass mugs, which are popular in some coffee shops, can reduce coffee¡¯s bitterness, without any need for sugar, and that coffee drunk from white cups tastes the bitterest.

To prove their claims, the researchers invited 36 volunteers and used three different colored cups -- blue, white and transparent glass -- to do an experiment.

In the experiment, coffee consumed from the white cup was found to taste less sweet when compared to the other two colored cups, while the blue cup made the coffee taste the sweetest.

The scientists believe that the colour brown may be associated with coffee¡¯s bitterness because coffee in a white cup appears the brownest and tastes the bitterest.

¡°Our study clearly shows that the colour of a coffee cup does influence the perceived (¸ÐÊܵ½µÄ) taste and flavor of coffee,¡± said Dr George Doorn of Federation University Australia, ¡°but the potential effects may be different between a one-time purchase and a return customer.¡±

¡°Anyhow, the effect of the colour of the cup on the flavor of the coffee suggests that caf¨¦ owners, baristas (·þÎñÔ±), as well as coffee cup manufacturers should carefully consider the colour of their cups, ¡± he added.

However, the idea that colour can alter the taste of food and drink is not new.

A study published last year revealed that red, strawberry-flavored mousse (Ľ˹µ°¸â) served on a white plate was rated as 10 percent sweeter and 15 percent more flavorous than the same food presented on a black plate.

For light sleepers

Millions of people have trouble falling asleep each night, which is why Light Sleeper was created.

Developed in the United Kingdom, Light Sleeper's makers say it can help a person fall asleep and also help a person fall back to sleep after waking up in the middle of the night.

Light Sleeper works by projecting (ͶÉä) a light onto the ceiling while the person is lying down. The idea is to watch the light, because the light moving in a circle has a relaxing effect.

One of the advantages of the product is that it won't disturb other people in the room. The product can be easily moved and will switch itself off after 30 minutes to save power.

Stop the snoring (´ò÷ý)

Here's a new product designed to slow down the frequency and level of your snoring. The Snore Stopper has a sensitive instrument that will detect when you're snoring. Once it does that, it will send a very mild electronic signal to your wrist. This consequently changes your sleeping position to stop you from snoring. The Snore Stopper; won't cause any damage to your body.

Get your true colors

Photoshop features a pen that will copy the color settings of what you are monitoring onscreen to use as a color in your program. Now an off-line product allows you to pick a color when not using the computer software.

The Color Picker is a concept pen. After placing the pen against an object, the user just presses the scan button. Color sensors (¸ÐÓ¦Æ÷) inside the pen send information to a box, which then mixes red, green and blue to produce the desired ink color.

Having parked near the car wash beside the supermarket, I came away to wait for my wife to come from work. Coming my way from across the parking lot was what society would consider a bum (Á÷À˺º). From the looks of him, he had no car, no home, no clean clothes, and no money. There are times when you feel generous but there are other times that you just don¡¯t want to be bothered (´òÈÅ). This was one of those ¡°don¡¯t want to be bothered times.¡±

¡°I hope he doesn¡¯t ask me for any money,¡± I thought. He didn¡¯t. He came and sat on the seat by the bus stop but he didn¡¯t look like he could have enough money to even ride the bus. After a few minutes he spoke, ¡°That¡¯s a very pretty car¡±. He was ragged (ÒÂ×ÅÆƾɵÄ) but he had an air of dignity (×ðÑÏ) around him. I said, ¡°thanks,¡± without taking a look at him.

He sat there quietly for a moment. The expected begging for money never came. As the silence between us widened something inside said, ¡°Ask him if he needs any help.¡± I was sure that he would say ¡°yes¡±. So I asked, ¡°Do you need any help?¡± He answered in three simple words that I shall never forget. The three words shook me. ¡°Don¡¯t we all?¡± he said.

I was feeling successful and important, above a bum in the street, until those three words hit me. Don¡¯t we all? I needed help. Maybe not for bus fare or a place to sleep, but I needed help. I reached in my wallet and gave him not only enough for bus fare, but enough to get a warm meal and shelter for the day. Those three little words still ring true. No matter how much you have, you need help too. However, no matter how little you have, you can give help too.
