Hebe Tien [You better not think about me]

How long have I been on my own? Why does it still hurt?
It feels like the world is laughing at me
I'm not proud, I'm vulnerable
You are the one who brings me down

Like waking up an iceberg, you slip away
You always know how
A smile from afar, the sea becomes rough
Once again, I smell tears on fire

You do love me, don't you? Why can't we hold it till the end?
Why don't you dare? Why must we miss it?
The night is young, dream on dream on. You better not think about me
When the time is right, you will know how much it hurts

How you cherish those happy days
How you manage to give it all up
The moment our sweet dreams become real, they vanish
But I bid you goodnight

You love me the most, don't you? Why can't we hold it till the end?
Why don't you dare? Why must we miss it?
The night is young, dream on dream on. You better not think about me
When the time is right, don't tell me you are wrong
You better not think of me, madly

You still love me, don't you? Why can't we hold it till the end?
Why don't you dare? Why must we miss it?
The night is young, dream on dream on. You better not think about me
Let the night hear you say: I love you

Muscular hypertrophy

Muscular hypertrophy is an increase in muscle mass and cross-sectional area. The increase in dimension is due to an increase in the size (not length) of individual muscle fibers. Both cardiac (heart) and skeletal muscle adapt to regular, increasing work loads that exceed the preexisting capacity of the muscle fiber. With cardiac muscle, the heart becomes more effective at squeezing blood out of its chambers, whereas skeletal muscle becomes more efficient at transmitting forces through tendonous attachments to bones.

colon polyp and hemorrhoid

Rectal bleeding, whether it is minor or not, can be a symptom of colon cancer...Hemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels in the anus and rectum that become engorged from increased pressure, similar to what occurs in varicose veins in the legs...Fortunately, this very common condition does not lead to cancer...Polyps are benign growths within the lining of the large bowel. Although most do not cause symptoms, some polyps located in the lower colon and rectum may cause minor bleeding. It is important to remove these polyps because some of them may later turn into colon cancer if left alone.

activated charcoal and poisoning

Activated charcoal is used in the emergency treatment of certain kinds of poisoning. It helps prevent the poison from being absorbed from the stomach into the body. Sometimes, several doses of activated charcoal are needed to treat severe poisoning. Ordinarily, this medicine is not effective and should not be used in poisoning if corrosive agents such as alkalis (lye) and strong acids, iron, boric acid, lithium, petroleum products (e.g., cleaning fluid, coal oil, fuel oil, gasoline, kerosene, paint thinner), or alcohols have been swallowed, since it will not prevent these poisons from being absorbed into the body.

https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/charcoal-activated-oral-route/description/drg-20070087

For decades, activated charcoal has been used as a 'universal antidote' for the majority of poisons because of its ability to prevent the absorption of most toxic agents from the gastrointestinal tract and enhance the elimination of some agents already absorbed...AC could be considered for patients with an intact airway who present soon after ingestion of a toxic or life-threatening dose of an adsorbable toxin.

篤魚蛋

教練梁民熊︰「要避免出現此情況,接球時應放鬆手指並盡量以雙手接着籃球下方,反之忌手指向天並伸直。」

the-sun.on.cc

Because jammed fingers occur from a traumatic impact, they are difficult to prevent. However, by practicing proper technique for catching the ball, you can make sure you are better prepared to avoid finger jams.

為了防止手指被戳,一個重要的手段就是用指甲刀將指甲進行修剪,這樣在手指接觸籃球時可以減少被戳的可能,即使發生戳手的情況指甲也不會受太重的傷。

What limitations AI has at the moment

"I think it’s very interesting how many of the things that we take for granted – we humans take for granted – as being sort of things we don’t even think about like how do we walk, how do we reach, how do we recognize our mother. You know, all these things. When you start to think how to implement them on a computer, you realize that it’s those things that are incredibly difficult to get computers to do, and that’s where the current cutting edge of research is." said Zoubin Bharhramani, Professor of Information Engineering at the University of Cambridge and deputy director of the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence.

節儉定係孤寒

我,就是一個容易受人影響、不懂得獨立批判的無知青年。

某天,劉教授來書店買書。
我,那時負責收銀。
他要求分單,用兩張信用卡扣兩次 Cash Dollar.
當時不是繁忙時段,所以對他沒反感。
貴為全國政協香港區委員、全國港澳研究會副會長,他理應身家豐厚。
可能只是節儉,可能只是將錢用在更重要的地方,例如慈善。

我一向尊敬有識之士,只是不懂分辨誰值得尊敬。
有一天,友人來訪書店,談及劉教授。
友人也是位有識之士。
他說劉教授僅是中央的喉舌。
一下子,我對教授的印象......

我,就是一個容易受人影響、不懂得獨立批判的無知青年。

nano-silver coated hospital-used curtain

每當護士替病人洗傷口都會拉簾,原因是保障病人私隱,但是布簾衛生成疑。納米銀布料有抗菌抗病毒作用,問題在於成本,以及已有的專利。

September 22, 2010

Nano Silver Technology is an antimicrobial colloid (膠體) composed of silver nano-particles stabilized by polymer that exhibits excellent antimicrobial efficacy across a wide spectrum of microorganisms. Silver has long been known to inhibit the oxygen exchange in bacteria, killing the bacteria. Nano Silver Technology has been demonstrated to prolong and enhance that effect. Its super charged magnetic attraction pulls the abnormal DNA of viruses, so it cannot reproduce, thus killing viruses.

如何避免跑步帶來的勞損

筆者最多只能跑 3 km,最近少運動,實在無資格發表相關言論,只能拾人牙慧。


「導致受傷的其中一個原因,就是忽略了循序漸進式的重要性。」


「膝蓋和腳跟都是容易勞損的位置,尤其膝關節的骼脛束 (iliotibial band) 更是首當其衝。要預防勞損,一方面要強化肌肉,另一方面要舒展肌肉。」
