SYDNEY Air Huarache Shoes , June 12 (Xinhua) -- Maths lessons used in schools in Hong Kong, Singapore and South Korea will be used in Australia in an effort to boost student scores, local media reported on Thursday.


The new primary school textbooks are based on the way maths is taught in Asian countries which top international tests, the West Australian reported.


Book publisher Scholastic says its newly released Prime Mathematics books introduced topics at an earlier age and covered them in more depth than the Australian curriculum.


"What is taught in fractions in Year 3 in Singapore, some of it is not taught until our kids are in Year 6," Scholastic's head of education Christine Vale said.


"It's not rote learning, though that is the perception. It's very much getting the kids to think and talk about the way they understand mathematics."


Some schools in Western Australia will run a trial of the books in sample classes and then compare their results with students doing standard lessons.

BEIJING Air Huarache Ultra , July 17 (Xinhua) -- The ancient martial art of kung fu might become as easy as a tap on the screen of your smart phone soon.


China's 1,500-year-old Shaolin Temple is looking to develop a game app to teach users martial arts on cell phones.


Monks from the temple attended a summit held by e-commerce giant Alibaba this month to learn about app development.


"Shaolin might use its warrior monks as the main characters of the mobile phone game," says Lin Xiaosong, chairman of Dengfeng Tiandizhizhong Network Development Corporation, which manages the Shaolin brand.


"The game would integrate kung fu with swords and sticks to teach martial arts interactively, so that users won't have to climb the Song Mountain (in central China's Henan Province) to learn Shaolin kung fu."


Lin says Shaolin is still researching the app and has no concrete plans for investment or project details yet.


The reputation of Shaolin kung fu was set during the Sui and Tang dynasties (581-907). In the Song Dynasty (960-1279), it became a unique school of wushu (Chinese martial arts) and established itself as a school of excellence.


Shaolin was the first temple in China to digitalize its business and now has nine subsidiary companies including martial arts studies Air Huarache , calligraphy, medicine, food and movies.


The temple first applied for its own domain name in 1996, before even Alibaba. In 2001 it had a website on which it published Shaolin kung fu secrets for the first time.


It then started its e-commerce business on Taobao, a popular retail platform, where it sells meditation costumes, candles Cheap Nike Huarache , tee-shirts, watches, and the controversial Shaolin Medical Book for 9,999 yuan (1,600 U.S. dollars).


In 2012, it opened accounts on the Weibo social media website, where it has 60 Nike Huarache Sale ,000 followers.


The whole office area of the temple has wifi, and almost all the young monks use smart phones.


"The era of sitting in meditation by the light of an oil lamp has gone. We need to keep pace with the times," says Master Yanzheng, a monk in his 20s, iPhone in hand.

MELBOURNE, March 17 (Xinhua) -- An Australian entrepreneur has opened up a business in Melbourne where heartbroken, jilted or frustrated people can smash assorted items in a room as a way to relieve stress.


Within the space Nike Huarache Womens , known as 'The Break Room', paying customers are given a baseball bat and allowed to smash a range of household items.


The room is wrapped in plastic, making cleaning up the remains of the wanton destruction easy, and patrons wear full protective gear.


The Australian creator of the whacky concept, Ed Hunter, said the room had already attracted a good share of business, and had proven especially popular with those going through a relationship breakup.


""We had a couple of broken hearts come through Nike Huarache Mens , couple of people who'd just recently broke up with their boyfriend or girlfriends,"" Hunter told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) on Thursday.


A stint in the room costs about 50 Australian dollars (37 U.S. dollars), which is mostly spent on replacing the crockery that is broken.


The activity isn't very time consuming either, with customers only taking about five minutes on average to demolish everything.


Hunter said he'd seen people approach the demolition with very unique mindsets, with some creative individuals constructing wine-glass towers, opting to frisbee dinner plates against the wall and tossing teacups up in the air ready to smash with their baseball bat.


Despite the new activity's billing as a powerful stress-relieving technique, an expert warned that it might be dangerous to mix acts of aggression with feelings of happiness.


""It keeps angry feelings alive Nike Huarache Shoes , it keeps aggressive thoughts active in memory,"" Professor Brad Bushman, from the University of Ohio, told the ABC.


""It's just like using gasoline or petrol to put out a fire. It just feeds the flame.""


However, with business booming, Hunter has been forced to relocate his practice to a nearby suburb in order to set-up enough space for a second 'break room'.
