我可是受够了!

超龄“kawaii”教主好易做?(哟,这也要讲资格的)对方只擅长装可爱,不会反省。因而更可怕。话说自己并非什麽 bitch,但也可不是好惹的!

前几天,自己突然被得罪,无法再强忍心底 那股“火气”,终究发怒了。当然要发脾气。而且发脾气就是彻底让这位老姐级 xx 知道, 我非天生胸襟宽。自己同自己发脾气最笨。像捆扎在一个麻袋里,动作再激烈,人家还误为神经病。


现今哪会有人委屈,还当滥好人,以为自己世故?!倒不如痛快一点“暴烈”一点,当个性情中人,永不“屈到病”。

Oscar, the death-predicting cat

Oscar the cat seems to have an uncanny knack for predicting when nursing home patients are going to die, by curling up next to them during their final hours. His accuracy, observed in 25 cases, has led the staff to call family members once he has chosen someone. It usually means they have less than four hours to live.

"He doesn't make too many mistakes. He seems to understand when patients are about to die," said Dr. David Dosa in an interview. He describes the phenomenon in a poignant essay in Thursday's issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.

"Many family members take some solace from it. They appreciate the companionship that the cat provides for their dying loved one," said Dosa, a geriatrician and assistant professor of medicine at Brown University.

The 2-year-old feline was adopted as a kitten and grew up in a third-floor dementia unit at the Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. The facility treats people with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease and other illnesses.

After about six months, the staff noticed Oscar would make his own rounds, just like the doctors and nurses. He'd sniff and observe patients, then sit beside people who would wind up dying in a few hours.

Dosa said Oscar seems to take his work seriously and is generally aloof. "This is not a cat that's friendly to people," he said.

Oscar is better at predicting death than the people who work there, said Dr. Joan Teno of Brown University, who treats patients at the nursing home and is an expert on care for the terminally ill

She was convinced of Oscar's talent when he made his 13th correct call. While observing one patient, Teno said she noticed the woman wasn't eating, was breathing with difficulty and that her legs had a bluish tinge, signs that often mean death is near.

Oscar wouldn't stay inside the room though, so Teno thought his streak was broken. Instead, it turned out the doctor's prediction was roughly 10 hours too early. Sure enough, during the patient's final two hours, nurses told Teno that Oscar joined the woman at her bedside.

Doctors say most of the people who get a visit from the sweet-faced, gray-and-white cat are so ill they probably don't know he's there, so patients aren't aware he's a harbinger of death. Most families are grateful for the advanced warning, although one wanted Oscar out of the room while a family member died. When Oscar is put outside, he paces and meows his displeasure.

No one's certain if Oscar's behavior is scientifically significant or points to a cause. Teno wonders if the cat notices telltale scents or reads something into the behavior of the nurses who raised him.

Nicholas Dodman, who directs an animal behavioral clinic at the Tufts University Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine and has read Dosa's article, said the only way to know is to carefully document how Oscar divides his time between the living and dying.

If Oscar really is a furry grim reaper, it's also possible his behavior could be driven by self-centered pleasures like a heated blanket placed on a dying person, Dodman said.

Nursing home staffers aren't concerned with explaining Oscar, so long as he gives families a better chance at saying goodbye to the dying.

Oscar recently received a wall plaque publicly commending his "compassionate hospice care."

練腹肌要訣

漂亮的腹肌取決於三個要素:飲食、有氧訓練、經常的訓練-練腹肌要訣!

飲食:
你可能擁有世界上最壯觀的腹肌,但如果他們被脂肪覆蓋住,就沒有人能看得見了。記住,沒有食物,肌肉不會增長,但過多的食物將增加脂肪。如果你努力並持續練了一年多的腹肌卻仍看不到它們,那你就應該檢討自己的飲食了。

頻率:
隔天練一次腹肌,多數人每週只練三次。雖然許多人一次做上百次仰臥起坐,但教練建議你挑選2~4個對你最有效的練習,只做三組,每組30~50次,每一組都應達到完全力竭。腹肌訓練不用超過15分鐘。

重量:
腹肌訓練時使用的重量越大,動作不正確的可能性就越大,而且還會使腰部變厚。增加重量可燃燒更多脂肪的觀點是錯誤的。所以,建議你用緊張和控制來代替負重,用你的意念而不是外在的重量去繃緊和刺激腹肌。

持續緊張:
練腹肌時,應在整組中保持腹肌持續緊張,不論在動作的開頭還是末尾,都不要讓它們鬆弛。

達到徹底力竭:
每一組動作都應達到徹底力竭,不要計算次數要持續不斷地做,直到你再也不能收縮腹肌為止。

不必完全伸直:
練腹肌時不要把背拱起而是胸部應少內含,以便把張力集中於腹部。上體伸得越直,臀部參與用力越多,這不但減少腹肌的受力,而且增加下背部拉傷的危險。

訓練動作:
一般只用三個練習,並透過經常改變它們的順序來避免單調。


下面就是教練推薦的三個練習:

1.仰臥起坐:
平 躺地上,小腿擱在長凳上,然後收縮肩膀,在上腹部創造一個弧形,就好像要向前翻滾一樣。做動作時不要把頭伸得太靠前,甚至接觸到腿,因為這表示背部已離 開地面,這樣臀部便開始分擔本應由腹部進行的工作了。下降時,讓肩膀緩慢地回到地面,始終不鬆弛腹肌,許多人喜歡把手抱在腦袋後面,但多數情況下,這樣做 只是把頭向前拉而已。可以把拳頭放在面前。

2.垂直舉腿:
文 學創作、水森林、外遇、自拍貼圖、幸福、幸福御守、原創文學、耽美小說、耽美御苑、耽美論壇、御守、聊天室、漫畫貼圖、線上交友做這個動作首先應注意避 免搖擺,應把身體繃緊,控制動作速度。為了刺激肋間肌,雙膝可以左右轉動,這也鍛練到腹斜肌。正確舉腿的要點是臀部向前伸。如果只是簡單地舉腿,雖然很舒 服,但那只是刺激臀部而不是腹肌。按教練的方法做練習非常艱苦,但將完全刺激你的腹部。動作速度因人而異,但應確保放腿過程緩慢,以防止搖擺。( 記住:你的目標是練腹肌,而不是用你能做的任何方式把腿抬起來。如果你發現完全伸直雙腿做這個動作有困難,可已屈膝做。到腹肌變得有力時,再逐漸用雙腿 做。)


3.坐姿抬腿:
這個動作能 更好地刺激腹肌下部。坐在長凳的邊緣,腿向前下放伸出,身體向後傾斜10度左右,抓住凳子的邊緣以保持身体平衡。膝蓋不要彎曲,向上舉腿,直到 腳尖與雙眼平行,然後控制住慢慢放下。控制和緊張在整個動作中非常重要,稍微的疏忽都可能導致下背部受傷。隨著腹肌越來越疲勞,可逐漸彎屈膝蓋。許多人喜 歡平躺在長凳上做這個動作,那樣會引起臀部與腹部反旋轉,下背部受傷的危險,還會減少腹部的弧形張力,把更多的張力集中到臀部而不是腹肌下部。漂亮的腹肌 取決於三個要素:合理的飲食、有氧訓練和經常的腹肌訓練。把三者和諧地組合起來,你才能擁有夢寐以求的腹肌。
