Chin

The chin or the mental region is the area of the face below the lower lip and including the mandibular prominence. It tends to be smaller and more rounded in human females, while bigger and more square in human males. It is formed by the lower front of the mandible. In humans there is a wide variety of chin structures, e.g. cleft chin.

In human evolution, the chin is a cladistic apomorphy, partially defining anatomically modern humans as distinct from archaic forms. Non-human anthropoid apes have a simian shelf for example. Elephants are the only other animals considered to display such a feature, although this leads to debate over the use of the term.

The chin emerged during the Middle and Late Pleistocene, but its origin and biomechanical significance are the subjects of controversy. Prominent hypotheses include buttressing the jaw against stresses resulting from speech or chewing as well as simple sexual selection through mate choice. With the advent of more advanced computational facilities, finite element analyses have been used to support hypotheses involving mechanical stress. On the other hand, increased availability of data regarding sexual dimorphism in chins has also lent support to the sexual selection hypothesis as sexual dimorphism is more difficult to explain under other regimes. It is possible that multiple causal factors have played a role in the chin's evolution.

    Chen (surname)

    Chen ([ʈʂʰə̌n]) or Chan (simplified Chinese: 陈; traditional Chinese: 陳; pinyin: Chén; Wade–Giles: Ch'en) is one of the most common Han Chinese and Korean family names. It ranks as the 5th most common surname in China, as of 2007 and the most common surname in Singapore (2000) and Taiwan (2010). Chen is also the most common family name in Guangdong, Zhejiang, Fujian, Hong Kong (spelt Chan in Hong Kong and Macau). It is the most common surname in Xiamen, the ancestral hometown of many overseas Hoklo. Besides 陳/陈, an uncommon Chinese surname 諶/谌 is also romanized as Chen.

    It is usually romanised as Chan in Cantonese, most widely used by those from Hong Kong, and sometimes as Chun. The surname Chen is also used in Hong Kong Cantonese, but not as often. The spelling, Chan, is widely used in Macao and Malaysia. In Min (including dialects of Chaoshan (Teochew), Hainan, Fujian, and Taiwan), the name is pronounced Tan. In Hakka and Taishanese, the name is spelled Gin. Some other Romanisations include Zen (from Wu), Ding and Chern. Chen can be variously spelt Tan, Chan or Chin in Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines and other Southeast Asian countries.

    Bailar Pegado

    by: Chayanne

    Bailar de lejos no es bailar
    Es como estar bailando solo
    Tú bailando en tu volcán y a dos metros de ti
    Bailando yo en el polo
    Probemos una sola vez
    Bailar pegados con más fuego
    Abrazados al compás, sin separar jamás
    Tu cuerpo de mi cuerpo
    Bailar pegados es bailar
    Igual que baila el mar con los delfines
    Corazón con corazón en un solo salón, dos bailarines
    Abrazadísimos los dos, acariciándonos
    Sintiéndonos la piel, nuestra balada va a sonar
    Vamos a probar, probar el arte de volar
    Bailar pegados es bailar
    Bailar pegados es bailar, es bailar
    Verás la música después
    Te va pidiendo un beso a gritos
    Y te sube por los pies,
    Un algo que no ves, lo que nunca se ha escrito
    Bailar pegados es bailar
    Igual que baila el mar con los delfines
    Corazón con corazón en un solo salón, dos bailarines, oh
    Abrazadísimos los dos, acariciándonos
    Sintiéndonos la piel, nuestra balada va a sonar
    Vamos a probar, probar el arte de volar
    Bailar pegados es bailar
