The fate of Dalai Lama and exiled Tibetans
卦象：豫(坤下震上) 变为 兑(兑下兑上)
The symbols: 001 000 -> 011 011
豫，利建侯行师。
这个卦象说明，当前的世界局势有利于达赖喇嘛领导流亡藏人为达到他们的目的而呐喊抗争。
The symbol for current says: Good for establish his throne and/or army and start his campaign.
彖曰：豫，刚应而志行，顺以动，豫。豫，顺以动，故天地如之，而况建侯行师乎？天地以顺动，故日月不过，而四时不忒。圣人以顺动，则刑罚清而民服。豫之时义，大矣哉！
就是说，日前流亡藏人及其支持者的强硬甚至过分的抗议行为，恰好是顺应国际上对中国快速发展的疑虑情绪以及发达国家经济问题的恐慌情绪等造成的时机的行动。这种顺应时机的行动，很容易引起各方的共鸣，能够使他们的声音最大化。他们的主张看似简单武断，却很容易让世界人民信服。他们选择了最佳的时机来发动这次运动。
This is to say, even if the protesting managed by exiled Tibetans has gone out of normal peaceful threshold, it happened in a perfect international environment, in which the rapid development of China has left plenty of suspicions and the economic problems developing in the developed countries are rising significant worries. Their in time action has been proven easily arisen the sympathy of the general public in developed countries. And this has greatly magnified their voice. Although their request sounds simple and not operable, they still convinced many people over the world. They have launched this at the best time.
象曰：雷出地奋，豫；先王以作乐崇德，殷荐之上帝，以配祖考。
这种现象，就像天雷震动大地。古代的圣人曾本着这种精神，创作典雅音乐，以丰盛的贡品供奉神明，祭拜祖先。
This event is like thunder shaking the ground. The ancient sages had written elegant musics and sacrifice sumptuous tribute to worship their gods and ancestors with the spirit of the symbol of Yu (001 000).

这一卦的第1，2，5爻将发生变化。
The first, second, and fifth marks are predicted to change.
初六：鸣豫，凶。象曰：初六鸣豫；志穷凶也。
初六鸣豫之象，象征志气穷尽，是坏预兆。
The first mark changes from negative to positive. This means that Dalai Lama and the exiled Tibetans will overdo their protests due to exultation. Their sleights will soon run out and reveal their negative side. This is a bad omen to their purpose.
六二：介于石，不终日，贞吉。象曰：不终日，贞吉，以中正也。
这是说，达赖喇嘛尚能保持清醒，坚守中正之道，对过于激进的倾向保持警惕。这是一个好的预兆。
The second mark changes from negative to positive. This means that Dalai Lama can still keep his clear mind, try his best to restrict the trend of radicalness. This makes the future relatively bright.
六五：贞疾，恒不死。象曰：六五贞疾，乘刚也；恒不死，中未亡也。
这是说，此一役过后，流亡藏人的目标虽然没有完全绝望，也非常渺茫了。
The fifth mark changes from negative to positive. This means, the current overdone protesting will greatly harm their possibility of making a satisfactory deal with China government. Although you cannot say that they will be hopeless, they will understand that they have almost run out of chips.

变卦为兑，意味着未来。
This future of Dalai Lama and exiled Tibetans is predicted by the symbol of Dui (011 011).
兑，亨，利贞。
兑是泽中有水，仍旧是好结局。
The symbol Dui means there is water in pond. This is still a good sign.
彖曰：兑，说也。刚中而柔外，说以利贞。是以顺乎天而应乎人。说以先民，民忘其劳；说以犯难，民忘其死；说之大，民劝矣哉！
就是说，达赖和流亡藏人虽然心比天高，却缺乏外在的力量。他们唯一的选择就是顺应大国的意志和广泛的藏民的民意，放弃对特权的追求，遵守法律。
This is to say, although Dalai Lama and the exiled Tibetans have a very high claim, they nevertheless do not have the reputation and capability to take it. They will finally yield the volition of a strong nation, and the public opinion of Tibet residents. If they choose abandon the request of superior power over current Tibet residents, and settle as equally citizens in Tibet, and respect the laws of China, there will be a happy ending to everyone.
象曰：丽泽，兑；君子以朋友讲习。
这个现象是说，象两个水潭并符在一起一样，彼此滋润。朋友之间互相讨论解决问题，才是正道。
This event is to say, the Tibet issue is expected to be solved by interlocution like a pair of friends. This is the ultimate way to a solution.
About ‘Book of Change’
About 3000 years ago, the first King of Zhou (周) Dynasity, Ji Chang (姬昌), was taken into custody by the last King of Shang(商) Dynasity, Yin Xin(殷辛), as a precaution of his suspected rebellion, at Jiu-Li town (羑里城) for seven years. To assure to the King Xin that he has no objection to his detention, he spent all his time on researching the logic relationship of current situation of things and their trend of development. As the result, he scripted the original version of “Book of Change”, in Chinese, Yi Jing (易经).
In this book, he categorized the status of things into 64 categories, tagged by a series of six marks of positive or negative. The positive or negative can be either developing and deep developed. If it is developing, in the foresee-able future, it keeps its trend. If it is currently laready deep developed, it tends to flips its trend in the foresee-able future.
The six marks can have their independently status, developed positive, developing positive, developing negative, and developed negative, and denote the current status out of 64 possibilities and 64 type of possible changes from each possibility, to give out a prediction of an affair.
To do this, you first should figure out six key factors of the affair of interest, and evaluate their status into the four levels. Thus you get two divinatory symbols. The first one denote the current, the changed one denote the trend. Then you refer the diction in the Book of Change, you will get a good prediction about the affair of interest.

第一章 ［道，可道，非恒道］
原文：
道，可道，非恒道。名，可名，非恒名。无名，天地之始；有名，万物之母。故常无欲，以观其妙；常有欲，以观其徼。此两者同出而异名，同谓之玄。玄之又玄，众妙之门。
译文：
万物遵循的基本法则，是可以描述的，但是却不存在普遍适用的描述。万物的分类定义，是可以定义的，但是却不存在普遍适用的定义。没有分类区别，是天地万物的本原状态；类别的分化，是天地万物诞生的途径。所以只有以非关联性的方法，去探查万物自身的特性；只有以关联性的方法，去探查万物的相互作用。万物自身的特性及其相互左右两者起源相同，却有着不同的名称定义，它们一同成为时间的规律。规律进至规律的规律，就是了解万物特性的途径。
评论：
这个乃是物理学的总纲。物理学研究时间万物的构成及其遵循的法则。物理学的实践证明，任何物理定律，都有其适用范围。任何物理现象，在某个极限条件之内都是可以用定律描述的。但是，没有任何物理定律，可以不受任何极限条件的限制，普适于任何情况。这就是“道，可道，非恒道。” 同时，现代科学对世界的认识建立在系统分类上，就是，任何事物都可以给它一个“名“。但是，无论任何命名法则，分类方式，总是存在模糊地带，存在不适用的特例。这个就是“名，可名，非恒名。”
物理学有一个无法回避也无法解决的问题，就是宇宙的本原，“天地之始”。宇宙的本原是否可以给它一个物理学上的分类命名？显然没有办法。因为这有一个无法回避的问题，就是这种分类的其他类别中的成员，你是怎么知道的？如果是在这个宇宙中观察到的，那么你的本原分类命名显然无法涵盖这种观察，因此是错误的。如果是这个宇宙中无法观察到的，那你是怎么知道的？不就成了莫须有了么？所以，“无名，天地之始”。同样，物理学研究的就是，任何事物的起源和演变。这个世界上并不存在任何起源和演变无可追寻的东西或者现象。这个，就是“有名，万物之母”。
“常无欲，以观其妙；常有欲，以观其徼”，讲的是科学研究方法。如果你要研究一个客体的自身特性，你就需要尽量将其孤立，排除其它事物对其的影响。如果你要研究一个客体和外界的相互作用，你就不能忽略任何可能的外界影响。
事物的自身特性及其与其他事物的相互作用，所遵循的物理规律具有同样的本原。所以说“同出而异名”。而这个共同的规律，物理学上叫做“理论物理”，道家即称之为“玄”。“玄之又玄“”，并不是故弄玄虚，而是说规律之上又有规律。而掌握这些规律，就是物理学的理论，就是理解万物特性的唯一法门，所谓“众妙之门”。
总结：
道德经既不是宗教圣经，也不是文字游戏。它的第一章，是现代科学以及科学方法论的总纲。
Want dicom info?
Siemens encodes a lot of scanning parameters in the image files in a binary format, which is incompatible with dicom protocol. Even if you have a set of dicom tools, you still cannot extract those information, like TR, TE, TI, dwell time, slice size, location, and orientation, and bandwidth etc.
To overcome this, I made a perl script that can decode the Siemens MRI dicom file header, and dump it into a text file. In which, you can just open by a plain text editor and search for the information you need.
This little tool is now available on node13, named siemens_info. You can have a try.
An AFNI tool named siemens_vision can process .ima file, probably doing similar thing.
