早前一家日本電視節目做了個特別報導。根據實際採樣證實，日本人有90%以上臉部都有這種俗稱【塵瞞】的寄生蟲存在。他們前往街頭上採訪行人，並現場取得每個人的臉部皮脂以顯微鏡觀察，結果竟然真的十個人中有九個人的採樣在顯微鏡下看到蟲跡。

歐洲等國家已興起一種神奇的療法，叫做觸摸療法；而接吻則是作為觸摸療法的一種。接吻這個動作，除了對許多疾病具有奇特的治療效果，它還有抗皺的作用，因而被國外許多醫學界權威大力推薦！
其 實在1992年，德國召開的疼痛大會上就有人強調：接吻是醫治日常疾病的良藥，甚至具有鎮痛作用。當舌頭和嘴唇黏在一起的時候，你身上的許多好的激素，如 胰島素、腎上腺素，就會大量的分泌，使全身各個器官都處於快樂狀態。因此人們在接吻後，會有一種從抑鬱的情緒中解脫出來的感覺。
這個觸摸療法還是經過世界各國的醫學專家、學者進行大量的科學實驗和臨床實踐證實。接吻不但能促進心跳和血液循環，而且還能醫治胃病、牙週病等。換言之，接吻越多，對各種疾病和衰老的抵抗力就越強！
你有情人嗎？如果有的話，那還等什麼？趕緊找她索個吻吧！
早期英國的一對夫妻文件電視節目主持人，邀請兩對情侶上節目，當場示範最新的做愛減肥法，結果經計算得出，每人在床上做愛四十五分鐘，便可消耗三百多卡路裏。
其中一名男參加者，在健身時消耗了三百二十三卡路裏，在做愛時消耗了三百六十九卡路裏，可見床上運動比健身激烈多了。
美國賓夕法尼亞醫學院的研究表明，性生活是一種很好的運動形式，每星期做愛三次，一年內能燃燒七千五百卡的熱量，相當於慢跑七十五英里。
讓我們細心地來拆解一下做愛的運動步驟，你就會發現，這個運動當然可以減肥，而且動作越有創意，減肥的效果越卓著，而且一點非減肥不可的負擔也沒有，因為這真的可以說是做愛作的事了。
從脫光衣服到獲得高潮，可以分為以下幾個步驟和能量的消耗：
1. 脫光衣服 （十卡路裏）
2. 溫柔的愛撫 （十卡路裏）
3. 輕輕親吻 （十七卡路裏）
4. 使用舌頭的深吻（六十五卡路裏）
5. 口交（三十卡路裏）
6. 戴保險套（六卡路裏）
7. 正常位（二十卡路裏）
8. 體會高潮（一百卡路裏）
這只是最基本的估計，如果再加上改變體位的話，情況更不一樣：
1. 正常位（二十卡路裏）
2. 立位（二十六卡路裏）
3. 騎乘位（六十卡路裏）
4. 側臥位（二十六卡路裏）；在插入的狀態下改變體位，每次需要四十二卡路裏。
這樣一來，普通做愛一次，大約要消耗慢跑二十分鐘的熱量，是伏案工作的十倍以上，相當於全力疾走一百公尺，甚至跑步一公里的疲勞。如果你不喜歡在健身房，或是運動場作白老鼠式的無聊運動，那麼安全性行為對你來說，是個足夠有變化的健康減肥運動。
相信大家都知道鬼壓床, 也有人經歷過鬼壓床; 究竟到底是什麼因素使人睡眠中感覺到身體無法動彈呢? 現在為大家解密！
首先, 先和大家介紹睡眠階段分為2段:
1. 快速動眼期（Rapid Eye Movement）
2. 非快速動眼期（Non Rapid Eye Movement）
進入非快速動眼期六十分鐘到一百二十分鐘後，再進入快速動眼期十分鐘成一個周期，睡8小時會歷經五周期，從睡眠圖譜來看，睡眠後半段，快速動眼期有增長情況。
鬼壓床不少人難免會疑神疑鬼，而睡覺時全身不能動，更被人誤以為是遇到壞東西。被鬼壓床或鬼壓身，其實是種睡眠障礙，正式名稱為「睡眠麻痺 sleep paralysis」，一般人若睡眠不足或是睡眠品質不好，有呼吸阻塞或猝睡症的人，都容易出現鬼壓床，會有眼睛睜開但全身無法動情況，但通常持續時間只 有數秒鐘到數分鐘。
鬼壓床的發生通常在快速動眼期, 也可稱為腦的睡眠，此時全身骨骼肌的肌力消失，會出現全身除眼睛外，都不能動的情況，若突然醒來，就會有人是清醒但全身不能動情況，即所謂睡眠麻痺也可稱 為睡眠癱瘓，持續的時間數秒到數分鐘，必須等肌力恢復才能動，旁人拍打或搖動都沒用。快速動眼期在睡眠後半段增長，腦部清醒機率增加，易發生睡眠麻痺。
睡眠麻痺是種睡眠障礙，常睡眠不足或睡眠品質差的人，發生的機率會大幅提高，包括:
1. 睡眠不足：會快速進入快速動眼期，也快清醒，造成鬼壓床。
2. 睡眠呼吸中止：容易因缺氧，在進入快速動眼期後清醒。
3. 猝睡症：隨時睡著代表睡眠品質不佳也易發生。
要避免鬼壓床要有良好的睡眠品質，台北市立聯合醫院松德院區心身醫學科主任陳冠宇表示，一般人都會誤以為喝酒可助眠，其實喝酒後易入睡，但也容易在半夜醒來，影響睡眠品質。要睡好覺下列為十大原則:
1. 房內勿掛時鐘，鬧鐘也要面向牆壁或往下蓋，減少睡不著時，頻看時間反會有壓力，會更睡不著。
2. 若躺在床上反覆都睡不著且超過30分鐘，就要起床做些溫和活動，直到想睡再上床，不要一直躺床上強迫自己入睡，必要時可就醫藉助藥物入睡。
3. 晚餐後勿喝咖啡、茶、可樂及抽菸。睡前小點心有助睡眠，但吃太飽很難入睡，肥胖的人，睡前勿吃點心。
4. 床上只做兩件事就是做愛與睡覺，勿在床上看書、看電視、打電話聊天等，讓身體習慣上床就要放鬆。
5. 晚餐後少喝水及飲料，上床前先上廁所，以免夜尿干擾睡眠，若因疾病必須服用利尿劑，最好在早上服用利尿劑，減少夜尿次數。
6. 白天儘量不要午睡或隨便躺在沙發上看電視或雜誌就睡著了。
7. 舒適的環境，適當的室溫、柔和燈光、安靜與舒適的床墊、枕頭和棉被都有助睡眠。
8. 睡眠時間要規律，每晚上床及起床時間最好固定，減少熬夜或假日補眠情況。
9. 日常生活不論是工作、學習、運動都要規律，隨時保持動一動，如爬爬樓梯或是搭乘公車、捷運時，提前兩站下車多走路，讓身體動一動，幫助睡眠。
10. 睡前進行溫和的活動，可泡熱水澡或進行調整呼吸運動，儘量吸氣讓肚子凸起再慢慢吐氣，呼吸練習學習放鬆。
發生鬼壓床不是遇鬼，若是因睡不夠造成，補眠2天到3天就能明顯改善，若有猝睡症或睡眠呼吸中止，必須針對疾病做治療。
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."
Clearly, since this is the last chapter, J.K. Rowling decided to go all out.It may not be the longest book in the series, but "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" definitely packs the most punch. The drama starts on the first page and continues practically throughout the entire story.
With Book 7, Rowling brings her phenomenally successful series about the young wizard to a close. And what a close it is.
There were some complaints that Book 6 — "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" — didn't have a lot of action until the end, that its role seemed to be filling in important bits of back story and setting the stage for the final installment.
There will be no such complaints here. The pace picks up from the start, with readers thrown into a world that's much darker than any of the previous Potter books. Harry and friends Ron and Hermione are on a quest some weeks after the death of Headmaster Albus Dumbledore, and it's time to put aside familiar faces and places and get on their way.
Lord Voldemort, Harry's nemesis, seems to be everywhere, his tentacles of power reaching into every corner. It's a dangerous world they must travel, and no place or happy occasion is safe. Their journey takes them to some unexpected locations and makes them interact with a whole host of characters, including some who were merely references in other books and some who are painfully familiar faces.
Old antagonists from previous books show up — one of whom enters into a positive relationship with Harry, and another who continues to wallow in all the traits that inspired Harry's hatred.
Harry, Ron and Hermione are on the search for horcruxes, vessels that Voldemort created to hold pieces of his soul, which make it impossible to kill him as long as they exist. The search has them moving over various parts of the United Kingdom as they try to fit all the pieces together. Many secrets are finally revealed, all leading up to the ultimate confrontation between Harry and the wizard who tried to kill him so long ago.
Rowling captured many hearts with her first book, and her last is guaranteed to keep them. She is amazingly gifted, demonstrated not only by the incredibly detailed world she has created, but by the depth of feeling and complexity she writes into her characters.
It's all here: humor, courage, redemption, sadness, terror, human frailty — sometimes all in the same character. There are sections that will make readers laugh out loud, as well as scenes of such sadness that tears are inevitable.
From a boy of 11, Harry has become a young man, determined to take on quite a burden. He suffers because of his commitment, and he's not the only one. Rowling said characters would die, and she meant it. Pain and death are constant companions, and sometimes who is taken is a shocker. The deaths aren't always drawn-out, violent scenes; sometimes, you discover that someone has died at the same time Harry does.
Characters you thought you knew surprise you. Some grow in unexpected (and not always pleasant) ways, while others have more complicated pasts than you could ever imagine. No one's life is simple — with a couple of Death Eater exceptions, many of the characters prove that you can't make assumptions about people's motivations.
Rowling rewards her faithful readers; there are numerous allusions to people, places, spells and objects that were mentioned in earlier books. It's a pleasure to see how she closes the loop she opened so many years ago with the story of a young boy who one day discovered he was a wizard.
And, of course, she answers many questions: Why did Snape kill Dumbledore? Is Snape Harry's enemy? Where are the horcruxes? What are the deathly hallows?
It's been a long, long road to get to this point (the first book was published in the United States almost a decade ago), and Rowling does herself proud. She completes her entertaining, compulsively readable series with a book that is both heartbreaking and hopeful, one that left this reader sad to say goodbye to Harry but thoroughly satisfied at how it all went.
From "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" to "Deathly Hallows," Rowling has completed an astonishing cycle of books that can only be described as a true literary classic.

South Korea's LG Electronics Co. said Thursday it will start selling next month a new mobile phone that incorporates a buttonless touch-screen resembling the much-hyped iPhone from Apple Inc.
Christina Ricci is joining "Matrix" creators Larry and Andy Wachowski's live-action adaptation of the 1960s cartoon "Speed Racer."
"Speed" centers on a young race car driver, Speed (Hirsch), and his quest for glory in his thundering, gadget-laden vehicle Mach 5. Ricci will star as Speed's girlfriend Trixie, his formidable ally on and off the track.
The show revolved around Speed's family. In the big-screen adaptation, Goodman will play Pops, a race car owner and builder. Sarandon is on board as Pops' wife, the backbone of the family as well as the Mach 5 Go Racing Team.
The Wachowskis, who are writing and directing, are eyeing a summer shoot in Berlin with a summer 2008 release.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is the seventh and final book in the Harry Potter series of novels by J. K. Rowling. The book title was announced on 21 December 2006 via a special Christmas-themed "hangman" puzzle on Rowling's website and confirmed shortly afterwards by the book's publishers. Rowling has stated that the final volume relates so closely to the previous book in the series, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, "almost as though they are two halves of the same novel." It features the adventures of the series' protagonist Harry Potter as he attempts to bring an end to his nemesis, Lord Voldemort.
