What to Eat in a Raw Food Diet

The Living and Raw Foods discussed in this web site includes all plant based (vegetarian/vegan) foods.
What are Living and Raw Foods?Raw and Living Foods are foods that contain enzymes. In general, the act of heating food over 116 degrees F destroys enzymes in food. (Enzymes start to degrade in as little as 106 degrees F). All cooked food is devoid of enzymes, furthermore cooking food changes the molecular structure of the food and renders it toxic. Living and raw foods also have enormously higher nutrient values than the foods that have been cooked.What are Enzymes?Enzymes assist in the digestion of foods. They are known to be the "Life-Force" and or "energy" of food.
From the dictionary: Noun: Any of the various complex organic substances, as pepsin originating from living cells and capable of producing certain chemical changes in organic substances by catalytic action, as in digestion.
Why are Enzymes Important?Enzymes are important because they assist in the digestion and absorption of food. If you eat food that is enzyme-less, your body will not get maximum utilization of the food. This causes toxicity in the body. (Can you guess why over 75% of Americans are overweight?)
Doesn't the acidic ph of the stomach destoy enzymes?Viktorus Kulvinskas, one of the world's foremost and most experienced active researchers into enzyme nutrition has information showing then stomach acid merely deactivates food enzymes. The enzymes are then reactivated in the more alkaline small intestine. Many people who eat all raw foods, sense a world of healthful difference in our energy, digestion and connectedness with nature by eating enzyme-rich living foods. When we stopped eating cooked protein foods which require large secretions of stomach acid (which is not healthful for several reasons) our stomach doesn't produce much stomach acid. Many people who eat raw foods eat a low protein diet and are free from the stomach acid secretions and have much more energy and a lighter disposition.
Is there a difference between living foods and raw foods?Living and Raw foods both contain enzymes. In living foods, the enzymecontent is much higher. Raw, unsprouted nuts contain enzymes in a "dormant"state. To activate the enzymes contained in almonds, for example, soak themin water for as just 24 hours. Once the almonds begin to sprout, the enzymes become "active" and are then considered living. In the context of this web site,the terms are used loosely.
Why eat only Organic Foods?When juicing or eating foods, it is very important to choose to consume only organically grown produce. "Conventional" or "industrial" produce are grown with pesticides, herbicides, synthetic fertilizers, and other chemicals that are toxic and/or harmful to your body. Organic foods are grown without the use of these harmful substances, taste better, and are more nutritious.
Do I need to eat all organic to be raw?No, you do not NEED to eat all organic to be raw. I personally reccomend eating as much organic food as possible. It has been shown that organic produce contains less pesticide and other toxic residues. In addition, it has been shown that organic food may taste better and contain more nutrition. I believe its better to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables in most any case.
Will rinsing wash off the pesticide from industrially grown produce?Rinsing with cool water will remove some surface pesticide residue, but not the pesticide that was absorbed into the produce as it was grown. Some of the most severely tainted types of produce are strawberries and bell peppers. Some of the least tainted: carrots and avocados.
Is this a "new" fad diet or something?Not at all! Consider the following: during the vast majority of our existence on this planet, what choices did we have for food? What COULD we have eaten before we discovered fire, tools and implements to kill animals? The original diet for us MUST have consisted primarily of vegetables, fruits, and nuts! What other choices did we have? Clearly, a raw, plant based diet is the main food staple throughout the vast majority of the history of Humankind! Before Humans started killing and eating dead animal carcass, we ate fruits, leaves, nuts, berries, etc...
Is this just another vegetarian or vegan diet?Yes and NO! This is the ULTIMATE vegetarian/vegan diet. It should be the goal of all vegetarians, vegans and SAD - [Standard American Diet] eaters to eat raw. The benefits are out of this world! Once you embrace an all-raw and living food diet, you are more living, have more energy, better health, think more clearly, and become more in tune with your body! This type of diet even gives you a "competitive edge" over people that eat life-less food.
What is the difference between a raw/living foods diet and a vegetarian one?Vegetarians and vegans believe in only eating a plant based diet.Living and Raw Foodists believe in eating only an UNCOOKED, UNHEATED, UNPROCESSED and ORGANIC plant based diet.
What is a Living Foodist or Raw Foodist?A person who eats 75% or more living/raw food.. The more, the better. Optimally one should eat as 100% raw and living foods if it feels right for them.
Is a 100% living and raw food diet best?That depends on the person. I believe life should not be about 100% raw food, but about 100% health. You can be "unhealthy" and eat 100% raw food, if you are not eating the correct raw foods. In addition, the stress that can be caused by "screwing up" or "falling off the wagon" can be worse than eating a high percentage raw food diet, with "better" cooked alternatives. I personally eat 99.999% raw foods.
Is there just one type of living/raw foodist?There are many subcategories of living/raw foodists. Some include:
Fruitarian - People who consume mostly fruits. Sproutarian - People who consume mostly sprouts. Juicearian - People who consume mostly fresh juice. Why would someone want to eat a raw and living foods diet?There are many reasons why people eat a raw and living foods diet.
Health: Persons embracing this type of diet invariably experience improvements in their general physical and mental status, including more energy, better health, more energy , weight loss, detoxification, and a sturdier immune system that better resists and recovers from just about any kind of disease... and the list goes on... Energy efficiency: Since you no longer have to cook, you don't waste electricity, and save the environment. Since you eat organic agriculture, you help to save the planet. Most become more in-tune with their body; many report definite spiritual improvements. No animal products are used, so the animals appreciate it. What do raw/living foodists eat?Raw and Living Foodist eat all fruits, vegetables, sprouts, nuts, seeds, grains, sea vegetables, and other organic/natural foods that have not been processed. In some instances, there are special ways to prepare the foods (example: most raw and living foodists soak/sprout nuts, seeds and grains before consuming them). For some delicious recipes, see our recipe section!
How can you tell if something is a raw/living food?Most foods that have not been processed in any way, shape or form are raw and living foods (until cooked). Processed foods (canned, bottled or prepackaged) are most often adulterated, (changed from their original state) by heating, additives, preservatives, colorings, salt, and sugar. Don't think this is all for your benefit; the benefactor is the manufacturer's profit margin, NOT YOU. Try to purchase foods that are in their natural state.
What do raw and living foodists drink?Water (purified water - never tap water), Freshly made juices (made with your own juicer - and consumed immediately), coconut milk (from a young coconut), are some of the liquids living and raw foodists drink. Most all drinks purchased at the store have been processed (Including: soda, bottled juices, coffee, alcohol, and most others) and are not included in a living / raw foodist diet.
Do raw and living foodists drink tea?Some living and raw foodists will drink SUN TEA, which is tea brewed by the power of the Sun. Teas that contain boiling water are not considered raw. Many teas that are purchased in the store may have been processed at temperatures above 118 degrees. The best way is to grow your own herbs and dry them at a low temperature, and use them for sun teas.
Are certain raw foods better than others?Yes. I believe one should focus on eating the majority of fresh fruits and vegetables. All other raw foods (such as nuts, seeds, etc) should be minimized. Fresher foods are always best. Ones that you grow yourself, or purchased at a farmers market, are much fresher than foods purchased in the grocery or health food store.
Where do raw and living foodist get their protein?The WHO (World Health Organization) says humans need about 5% of their daily calories to come from protein to be healthy. The USDA puts this figure at 6.5%. On average, fruits have about 5% of their calories from protein. Vegetables have from 20-50% of their calories from protein. Sprouted seeds, beans, and grains contain from 10-25% of their calories from protein. So if you are eating any variety of living plant foods, you are getting more than adequate protein. Numerous scientific studies have shown the daily need for protein to be about 25-35 grams per day. So if you ate 2,000 calories per day, and ate raw plant foods that had an average of 10% of their calories from protein, you would get 200 calories worth of protein, or 50 grams. This is more than adequate to support optimal well-being. Other studies have shown that heat treating a protein (such as with cooking) makes about half of it unusable to the human body. So raw plant food protein is even a better source than cooked plant foods or animal foods. There is still a huge, foolish, misguided idea that plant protein is not "complete". This is based on studies done on rats in the 1940's. This false conclusion was drawn before we discovered the bodies protein recycling mechanism and its ability to "complete" any amino acid mix from our bodies amino acid pool, no matter what the amino acid composition of a meal consumed. This false idea is still perpetuated by the meat and dairy industries, in an attempt to influence people to continue consuming their truly health destroying products.

10 Foods to Get You in the Mood

Want a really romantic dinner? Sure, candles and soft music are nice, but what you and your man nosh on could truly take things to another level. The following (healthy!) foods may actually affect hormone levels, brain chemistry, and energy, heightening arousal and sex drive.While there aren't double-blind studies proving the aphrodisiac properties of these foods, there is plenty of anecdotal evidence suggesting they really help, so why not work in one (or more) on your next date night.

Modern lovers seem to be equally fervent about being great in bed! According to a healthcare information company, Wolters Kluwer, in 2005, Americans spent about $1.4 billion to treat male sexual dysfunction disorders alone, of which Viagra ran up a sale of $1.2 billion for Pfizer. Levitra and Cialis are other drugs in the US market, aspiring to compete with Viagra.
There is a difference, of course, between tackling sexual dysfunction and arousing passions. You don't necessarily need Viagra and the likes for a better sex life. What you do need to do is to eat healthy. Certain nutrients are especially helpful in regulating the levels of sex hormones in our body, and some can even help to protect our reproductive system from any potentially damaging effects of infection or disease. Below is a list of top 10 foods which will help you pep up your sex life, by improving your sexual and reproductive health. In addition these foods also help you fight the stress, tiredness and a lack of sexual energy induced by the current lifestyle. Try these to get your mind and body ready for bed tonight!
1. Oysters
Oysters are rich in zinc, required by the body for the production of testosterone, which in turn boosts sperm production; as well as dopamine, which can increase your libido. Men with sexual dysfunction often have low zinc levels. According to a recent study, certain sea-foods like mussels and oyster have two varieties of amino acids that bring on excess secretion of sex hormones in the body. Ensure that you chew shellfish thoroughly because it helps pull out more of these amino acids. If you do not enjoy eating oysters, you could try other sources of zinc like beef, pork, turkey, crab, chicken and lobster. If you are vegetarian, try beans, yoghurt, brown rice, cashews, raisins, peanuts, sunflower seeds and oats.
2. Avocado
Avocados help metabolize proteins and increase stamina and energy. They also contain vitamin B6, which increases male hormone production and potassium, which aids in regulating the female thyroid gland.
Interestingly the Aztecs called the avocado tree a 'testicle tree' because they thought the fruit hanging in pairs on the tree looked like male testicles.
3. Celery
The ancient Romans believed that celery was an aphrodisiac and liberally used this vegetable. Raw celery contains a male hormone called androsterone, which acts as a pheromone, and arouses females sexually. In women, celery acts as a mood booster. Celery salt and celery seed are spices made from this vegetable, and are rampantly used in several recipes.
4. Bananas
Bananas were discovered in 327 B.C. by Alexander the Great. Ever since then, civilizations have believed in the sexual power of bananas. The minerals and an enzyme called bromelain in banana act as an aphrodisiac in men. Bananas have B vitamins, which convert carbohydrates into energy and help in the production of the male sex hormone, testosterone. Bananas are the perfect food to help you sustain your stamina in the bedroom. Try eating a banana a few hours before making love to keep your energy up.
5. Chocolate
There's a reason that chocolate is the standard gift on Valentines Day. Not only are chocolates delicious, but they also contain antioxidants, serotonin and theobromine, which are stimulants that can improve your mood. Eating chocolates causes a feeling of relaxation, intoxication, and pleasure. The chemical phenylethylamine in chocolate supposedly triggers feelings similar to “falling in love.
6. Pomegranate
The very fact that pomegranate has numerous seeds itself is supposed to represent a symbol of fertility for several thousands of years now, and happens to be one of the oldest fruits on the planet. It also has the reputation of being a potent aphrodisiac.
Pomegranate fruit can be served in a multitude of ways from cocktails to desserts. Splash pomegranate juice in your drink for a pretty-in-pink Shirley Temple or pop seeds into champagne for a simple cocktail.
7. Asparagus
Asparagus contains folate, which is required for histamine production and histamine is necessary for both males and females to reach an orgasm. Asparagus is also high in vitamin E, which is considered to be a sex hormone stimulant.
8. Oats
The origin of oats dates back to about 2000 BC. Oats are known not only for lowering cholesterol, but also for stimulating libido in both sexes. They contain zinc, proteins and minerals needed to produce healthy seminal fluids. Carbohydrates, the predominant component of oats, act as a rich source of energy. To increase your libido by the time you go to bed, eat oats everyday for breakfast.
9. Red wine or champagne
Try drinking a glass of red wine or champagne before you get into bed. It will awaken your libido by keeping your arteries open and blood flowing.
But avoid drinking too much because excessive alcohol decreases your sexual performance and desire.
10. Ginger
Ginger originated in China thousands of years ago. It is an indispensable ingredient in most Asian food preparations. Ginger aids in the treatment of nausea and diarrhoea. It increases the libido in both genders by increasing the circulation in the genital areas.
Even the smells of certain foods have been found to be sexually arousing, according to studies at the Smell and Taste Foundation in Chicago - notably pumpkin pie and buttered popcorn for men and licorice candy for women.

Type 1 Diabetes Death Rate is Falling, But Not Fast Enough

The results, abstract number 0326-OR, are based on the Allegheny County Type 1 Diabetes Registry, one of the largest population-based registries of the disease, which includes nearly 1,100 people diagnosed between 1965 and 1979 in Allegheny County, Pa.
As of January 2008, 26 percent of registry participants had died - a rate seven times higher than age-and sex-matched people in the general population. Participants who were diagnosed most recently (1975 to 1979) were only 5.5 times more likely to have died.
The researchers also found that women with type 1 diabetes were 13 times more likely to have died than women in the general population, compared to men whose death rate was five times higher than their healthy counterparts. When the researchers explored differences in survival by race, they found that after 30 years of diabetes only 52 percent of African-Americans were alive compared to 82 percent of Caucasians.
"The more recent a person was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, the less likely they were to die, suggesting the positive impact of advances made during the last few decades," said Aaron M. Secrest, lead author of the study and a doctoral student at the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health. "Even so, significant disparities in mortality remain and reveal a need for continuing improvements in diabetes treatment and care."

Researchers also found that people diagnosed in the late 1970s have an even lower mortality rate compared with those diagnosed in the 1960s.
"The encouraging thing is that, given good [diabetes] control, you can have a near-normal life expectancy," said the study's senior author, Dr. Trevor J. Orchard, a professor of epidemiology, medicine and pediatrics in the Graduate School of Public Health at the University of Pittsburgh, Penn.
But, the research also found that mortality rates for people with type 1 still remain significantly higher than for the general population -- seven times higher, in fact. And some groups, such as women, continue to have disproportionately higher mortality rates: women with type 1 diabetes are 13 times more likely to die than are their female counterparts without the disease.
Results of the study are published in the December issue of Diabetes Care.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that causes the body's immune system to mistakenly attack the body's insulin-producing cells. As a result, people with type 1 diabetes make little or no insulin, and must rely on lifelong insulin replacement either through injections or tiny catheter attached to an insulin pump. Insulin is a hormone that allows the body to use blood sugar.
Insulin replacement therapy isn't as effective as naturally-produced insulin, however. People with type 1 diabetes often have blood sugar levels that are too high or too low, because it's difficult to predict exactly how much insulin you'll need. When blood sugar levels are too high due to too little insulin, it causes damage that can lead to long term complications, such as an increased risk of kidney failure and heart disease. On the other hand, if you have too much insulin, blood sugar levels can drop dangerously low, potentially leading to coma or death.
These factors are why type 1 diabetes has long been associated with a significantly increased risk of death, and a shortened life expectancy.
However, numerous improvements have been made in type 1 diabetes management during the past 30 years, including the advent of blood glucose monitors, insulin pumps, newer insulins, better medications to prevent complications and most recently continuous glucose monitors.
To assess whether or not these advances have had any effect on life expectancy, Orchard, along with his student, Aaron Secrest, and their colleagues, reviewed data from a type 1 diabetes registry from Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. The registry contained information on almost 1,100 people under the age of 18 at the time they were diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.
The children were sorted into three groups based on the year of their diagnosis: 1965 to 1969, 1970 to 1974 and 1975 to 1979. As of January 2008, 279 of the study participants had died, a death rate that is 7 times higher than would be expected in the general population.
When the researchers broke the mortality rate down by the time of diagnosis, they found that those diagnosed later had a much improved mortality rate. The group diagnosed in the 1960s had a 9.3 times higher mortality rate than the general population, while the early 1970s group had a 7.5 times higher mortality than the general population. For the late 1970s group, mortality had dropped to 5.6 times higher than the general population.
The mortality rate in women with type 1 diabetes remained significantly higher, however, at 13 times the rate expected in women in the general population.
In addition, blacks with diabetes had a significantly lower 30-year survival rate than their white counterparts -- 57 percent versus 83 percent, according to the study.
Although Orchard said it isn't clear why women and blacks have higher-than-expected mortality, Barbara Araneo, director of complications therapies at the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, said that both discrepancies have been found in other research, and that one theory is that blacks may have a greater genetic susceptibility to heart disease or high blood pressure. And, for women, she said previous research has shown that, "women with diabetes lose their innate protection against [heart disease], similar to the loss sustained in postmenopausal phases of life." But, she said, it's not clear how diabetes causes this loss.
The overall message of the study, however, is a positive one.
"The outcome of this study shows that diabetes care has improved in many ways over the last couple of decades, and as a result people with diabetes are living longer now," said Araneo, adding, "Managing and taking good care of your diabetes is the surest way to reduce the risk of developing complications later in life."
"What we're seeing now is incredibly encouraging, but it's not necessarily the full story yet," said Orchard, who noted that improvements in diabetes care should continue to lower mortality rates in people with type 1 diabetes.

What to Do for a Stuffy Nose

Clear your stuffy nose.
A stuffy nose, otherwise known as a nasal congestion, sinus infection, or simply the sniffles, is caused by inflamed blood vessels in the membranes lining the inside of your nostrils, usually due to the flu, cold, or allergies. When the tissues become swollen, it blocks the normal passage of fluid through your nasal pathways. While this can be life-threatening to newborns, for most adults, the condition is simply discomforting. However, there are many home and alternative remedies that might do the trick in clearing a stuffy nose.
It's the season of stuffy noses and achy heads, a time when many people dash to their local drugstores in search of relief. But Step No. 1, before taking any over-the-counter decongestant, is to evaluate the likely cause of your stuffiness, advises Richard Rosenfeld, professor and chairman of otolaryngology at Long Island College Hospital in Brooklyn, N.Y.
Your nose "doesn't just swell up [inside] for no reason," Rosenfeld says. "It's important to understand why your nose" is stuffy. Sinusitis, for instance, may require an antibiotic, which means getting a prescription. Allergies may respond to an antihistamine. And structural problems, like a deviated septum, may require surgery. For persistent congestion, it's usually best to see your doctor, he says.
Once you've determined the cause of your stuffiness, here are some options for unclogging your nose:
• Consider nasal washings. A 2007 study published in the Archives of Otolaryngology—Head & Neck Surgery found that saline irrigation was more effective than saline spray for a group of patients with chronic nasal and sinus symptoms. "But many people who have colds [also] find it soothing," Rosenfeld says. "The basic principle is you need to irrigate, not just moisturize." Several nasal rinse kits are available on store shelves, or you can create a homemade kit: Squeeze about 4 to 8 ounces of saltwater into your nose "until there is no more mucous or cloudy material coming out," Rosenfeld suggests.
• Seek out pseudoephedrine. Some people say the oral decongestant phenylephrine—which replaced pseudoephedrine in many over-the-counter products in 2006—doesn't do a good job of unclogging their noses at the current 10-milligram dose. Pramod Kelkar, a Minneapolis allergist in private practice, says that some of his patients contend that it's less effective than pseudoephedrine, no longer residing on store shelves because it can be used to make methamphetamines. "Some patients feel like [phenylephrine] doesn't work at all," he says. While the Food and Drug Administration hasn't sanctioned a higher dose out of concern that too much can raise blood pressure, there are other options if phenylephrine (now a main ingredient in Sudafed PE, Robitussin cough syrup, and Benadryl Allergy & Sinus) doesn't work for you. Drugs containing pseudoephedrine are still available in limited amounts behind some pharmacy counters to those who show ID; no more than 9 grams per month or 3.6 grams per day can be purchased.
• Try a nasal spray, but don't use an over-the-counter decongestant spray for longer than 3 days. Overuse can create a rebound effect of narrowing and constricting the blood vessels of your nose, according to the Mayo Clinic. Prescription nasal sprays are also an option, if your doctor thinks they'll ease your congestion. Steroid sprays, such as Flonase and Nasonex, work by reducing swelling in the nose.
• Ask your doctor for a prescription oral decongestant. If your congestion is due to more than a simple cold—perhaps you're experiencing a nasty bout of sinusitis—it's reasonable to ask for a prescription oral decongestant, particularly if phenylephrine doesn't work for you and you're having trouble finding over-the-counter pseudoephedrine. "If a patient's condition warrants it...I would be happy to prescribe it," says Kelkar.
• Inhale steam. Sitting in front of a cool mist humidifier or using personal steam inhalation devices may loosen up congestion, Rosenfeld says.
Quick Tips1Salt water can help ease sinuses and reduce the need for pain medication. [1] Breathe in salt water to clear your sinuses (helpful if you live by the ocean), use a nasal saline spray (unmedicated salt water) [2], or use a neti pot (see below).Ads by Google

See Official Rules.allergy.promo.eprize.com/zyrtec2Use a humidifier at home to avoid living in an environment with dry air, which can irritate your sinuses.[3]3Eat spicy, peppery or pungent foods, which are natural decongestants. Try an Indian, Thai or Sichuan (Chinese) cuisine.[4] Chewing a minty gum could also help.4Drink lots of water to keep your sinus membranes well-hydrated. It can also thin your mucus.5Bathe your pets, clean your carpet and dust your furniture regularly to prevent allergens from clogging your sinuses.6Exercise more, not less. Running up and down stairs can change the pressure in your body and help clear your nose. [5]Over-the-Counter (OTC) Drugs1Determine the cause of nasal congestion. Are you experiencing congestion because of sickness and colds, or because of allergies?2Choose an OTC drug. Consult with your pharmacist as to the best OTC product to relieve your congestion, and the proper way to use it. Pick according to the cause, according to what has worked for you in the past, and according to side effects you want to minimize, such as drowsiness. #*Another consideration is the amount of active ingredient in a dose, what it is, how often you take it. You could actually save yourself money by buying a drug that treats only nasal congestion instead of a multi-symptom cold relief drug, and by purchasing a 12 hour relief formula instead of doses that need to be taken every 4 hours. Some active ingredients serve in both allergy and cold relief applications.
Neti Pot1 The neti pot is an ancient remedy that is filled with a saline solution and then used to irrigate your nose. It washes out all of the pollution, infection and allergens that may be troubling you. [6] Video: Truth About Neti Pots on WebMD2Acclimate yourself to voluntarily breathing through your mouth and not your nose.3Prepare a saline solution with water and non-iodized salt. Use a 1/4 tsp. of salt for about every 8 oz. of water. [7]4You can add an herbal wash to your saline solution, but read the label carefully. Zinc can temporarily taper your sense of smell, so you may want to use one that is zinc-free.Herbal washes are not recommended in pregnant women.5Tilt your head to the side and stick the end of the neti pot down the higher nostril to irrigate your nose. Water will flow from your other nostril and clean out your nasal pathways in the process.6Feel free to use the neti pot as long as your symptoms occur -- from once a week to multiple times a day.Steam1Get a bowl of steaming or hot water.2Inhale the steam slowly.3 Try mixing in essential oils such as menthol, eucalyptus, or tea tree oil for improved results.4Alternatively, try slowly sipping hot water or tea with a bit of lemon in it, keeping your nose close to the cup.5Try taking a warm shower as well, to let the steam help clear your nose

At the scene of a road accident

The first person on the scene of a collision will almost certainly be another road user. So as a driver your knowledge of first aid could make a real difference to someone in the event of a road accident Stop. Apply handbrake. Turn off engineTopAssess conditionsRemain calm. Assess the scene and seriousness of the collision. Determine what happened, how many people and vehicles are involved and the exact locationTopMake safeMake sure you stay safe: keep off the road. If you need to stop or warn approaching cars, signal to them from the pavement. Wear fluorescent reflective clothing use warning triangles, flashing lights and hazard warning lights. Don’t smoke If you are in a car and you come across an accident, first park safely and turn off the engine before you get out to help. Use a hazard triangle if necessary. Consider the safety of others. Immobilize the vehicle/s, look out for hazards - leaking fuel, chemicals, broken glass or shed loads – guide uninjured passengers to a place of safety TopAssess casualtiesHow many casualties are there? What is the severity of the injuries? Is anyone trapped? Is there a danger of fire?TopCall for helpDial 999 (or 112) for the emergency services. If there is no phone nearby, recruit help and send two people in opposite directions Do not use mobile phones if there is a danger from petrol-spillage or fumesTopApply emergency first aidRemain calm. Reassure the victims. Do not allow smoking or offer food or drink to casualties as this could hamper urgent medical treatmentTopCalling 999 (112)Do this as soon as you can or get someone else to do it while you deal with an injured person. You will need to tell the emergency services: where you are what has happened (describe the accident) how many people are injured whether they are breathing or bleeding.

Treatment for Stage IV and Recurrent Colon Cancer

Treatment of patients with recurrent or advanced colon cancer depends on the location of the disease. For patients with locally recurrent and/or liver-only and/or lung-only metastatic disease, resection surgery, if feasible, is the only treatment with the potential to cure the disease. Patients with cancer that cannot be treated surgically are treated with systemic chemotherapy. Treatment of stage IV and recurrent colon cancer may include the following:
Resection/anastomosis (surgery to remove the cancer or bypass the tumor and join the cut ends of the colon)
Surgery to remove parts of other organs, such as the liver, lungs, and ovaries, where the cancer may have recurred or spread. Radiation therapy or chemotherapy may be offered to some patients as palliative therapy to relieve symptoms and improve quality of life. Special treatments of cancer that has spread to or recurred in the liver may include the following:
Radiofrequency ablation (a technique that uses a special probe with tiny electrodes that kill cancer cells)
Cryosurgery (using an instrument to freeze and destroy abnormal tissues).
The goal of surgery for Stage IV colorectal cancer is to prevent or stop the tumor from blocking the colon and rectum and to prevent other complications. This surgery may involve:
Resection -Your doctor will remove the cancer and a small amount of the healthy tissue surrounding the cancer. The doctor will usually sew the healthy parts of the colon together so that your bowel can continue to function normally. This procedure is known as anastomosis. In anastomosis, the doctor often removes lymph nodes near the colon and examines them under a microscope to find out if they have any cancer cells.
If the tumor is large and has created a hole in your colon, you might need a temporary colostomy. In a colostomy, an opening is made in the abdomen and one end of the large intestine is attached to this opening. Stool comes through the intestine, out the opening, and into a replaceable plastic bag. You will wear this bag outside your body. Often, you will only need the colostomy for a short time. As soon as your colon heals, the doctor can sew the two ends of the colon back together. In very rare cases, when the cancer cannot be completely removed, the two ends of the colon are not sewn back together and the colostomy becomes permanent.
About half of all patients with colorectal cancer have liver metastases, or cancer cells that have spread from the colon or rectum to the liver. Metastases in the liver and other organs are sometimes removed surgically by resection. If resection is not possible, the surgeon might use one of these techniques:
Radiofrequency ablation- In some cases, the physician uses a special probe with tiny electrodes that kill cancer cells. This probe is sometimes inserted directly through the skin. In other cases, the doctor cuts into the abdomen to insert the probe.
Cryosurgery- In cryosurgery, the surgeon uses an instrument to freeze and destroy the tumor. This is especially useful for metastases in the liver.
If you have rectal cancer, you might be treated with radiation therapy and chemotherapy before surgery. This reduces the chance that the cancer will come back and can make the surgery more effective.
Many patients with stage IV colorectal cancer are treated with chemotherapy after their surgery, typically with one or more of the following drugs, either alone or in combination:
Camptosar® (irinotecan) -Irinotecan can be used in combination with other chemotherapy drugs, especially fluorouracil (5-FU) and leucovorin, as the first treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer (cancer that has spread to other parts of the body). This combination is known as FOLFIRI for folinic acid, 5-FU, and irinotecan.
Some people have an inherited genetic variation that makes it hard for them to tolerate irinotecan. Luckily, a test is available to find out if you have this genetic variation. If you do, your doctor will prescribe a different chemotherapy drug or drugs for you.
Eloxatin® (oxaliplatin)- This drug can be very effective when it is combined with 5-FU and leucovorin. Sometimes oxaliplatin is combined with both 5-FU and folinic acid. This combination is known as FOLFOX (for folinic acid, 5-FU, and oxaliplatin). FOLFOX seems to be the most effective treatment for colorectal cancer that has returned (recurred) after it was originally treated.
Fluorouracil (5-FU)- This is the drug used most often to treat colorectal cancer. 5-FU is often given with another drug, leucovorin, to make it more effective. Patients usually receive injections of 5-FU over a few days or weeks and then take a few weeks off from chemotherapy. These cycles are repeated over 6 months to a year.
Xeloda® (capecitabine)- Capecitabine is usually taken by mouth. It actually turns into 5-FU when it gets to the tumor. This drug can be used instead of 5-FU and it acts as if the 5-FU were being given continuously.
If you have liver metastases, you might receive chemotherapy directly into the artery that goes to the liver. This shrinks cancers in the liver more effectively than giving the chemotherapy intravenously (through a vein).
Patients with Stage IV colorectal cancer are sometimes treated with targeted treatments. These are new therapies that affect cancer cells but do little damage to noncancer cells. These drugs are becoming more important in the treatment of colorectal cancer. These treatments are sometimes known as immunotherapies because they help the patient’s immune system fight cancer more effectively.
Antiangiogenesis therapy -Tumors need the nutrients in blood vessels to grow and spread. Antiangiogenesis therapies stop the process of making new blood vessels, known as angiogenesis, by “starving” the tumor. Avastin® (bevacizumab) is one of these therapies, and it works by blocking the growth factors that stimulate the development of new blood vessels. Bevacuzimab is given with chemotherapy to improve survival in people with advanced colorectal cancer.
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors -The EGFR protein seems to help many colorectal cancers grow. Erbitux® (cetuximab) is a monoclonal antibody, or protein used by the immune system, that can find and attach itself to cancer cells and can block the EGFR protein. Cetuximab can sometimes shrink tumors in patients whose cancers continue to grow after other treatments. Cetuximab can be used with or without irinotecan. VectibixTM (panitumumab), another monoclonal antibody, is a newer EGFR inhibitor that can shrink tumors in some people whose cancer has not responded to other treatments. Vectibix is used to treat certain colorectal cancers that have metastasized (spread to other parts of the body) and continue to grow after treatment with combinations of chemotherapy drugs that include 5-FU, oxaliplatin, or irinotecan.
Radiation therapy is another treatment that is used for people with Stage IV colorectal cancer.It can help reduce certain symptoms, such as pain.
External beam radiation therapy (EBRT) - This is the most common type of radiation treatment for people with colorectal cancer. A machine called a linear accelerator directs the radiation at the tumor from outside your body. The treatments last just a few minutes and are given 5 days a week for several weeks.

Chlorine Allergy Treatment and Prevention

As I said earlier, Chlorine Allergy is quite rare and most people who experience the above symptoms are usually sensitive to chlorine. In such cases, the treatment would be given according to the symptoms that a person experiences. For instance, a chlorine rash can be treated by washing it thoroughly with soap and water, and when it comes to eye irritation, antihistamine eye drops can bring relief to the eyes. Using anti-chlorine skin products can reduce skin irritation as well as allergies considerably. However, in case of severe symptoms of Chlorine Allergy, it is important to consult one's health practitioner who can suggest the best treatment possible. More on chlorine removal shampoo.As the symptoms of Chlorine Allergy do not stay for a long time i.e. it is cured once the correct treatment is given, one should know about the ways of preventing its re-occurrence. One way of doing this is by avoiding detergents which have chlorine content in them. It is also important to avoid swimming pools which are highly chlorinated. However, if this is not possible, taking a shower before and after swimming in the pool can help in reducing the allergies caused by chlorinated water. On the other hand, if you have a pool at home, make sure that the chlorine levels in your pool are not very high. Also, using some other techniques to keep your pool clean will be a good idea too. Other than this, using a special lotion before getting into the pool will also help in protecting one's skin from the harmful effects of chlorine.You may like to read more on:
Facts about Chlorine
Chlorine Poisoning
Chlorine Poisoning Symptoms
I hope this article on Chlorine Allergy has been informative as well as helpful. So, if you have been suffering from the symptoms caused by Chlorine Allergy, take the precautionary measures mentioned above to ensure that you are not affected by the allergy again. However, if these preventive ways do not work in your case, consulting your physician will be helpful.
The best way of treating an allergy to chlorine is to slowly reduce the affected person’s exposure to the chemical. There is no point in asking an individual to jump into a pool treated with chlorine right after he recovers from a rash caused by chlorine. An allergy to chlorine is a rare occurrence, and it is best to visit a doctor who would prescribe a few medicines to battle the allergy. Doctors can also give advice on how exactly to keep an allergy to chlorine at bay. For swimmers, it is advisable to take a shower right before swimming and a shower right after swimming. This helps to keep an allergy to chlorine at bay.
Swimming is a favorite pastime of many teens during the hot summer months. If your teen is engaging in swimming activities in a pool that you do not own, it is important to become familiar with the health risks that may arise and what you can do, as a parent, to help mitigate that risk.
Chlorine Allergy is a common health complication among adults and children alike. In teens, however, there can be a rise in the allergic reaction to chlorine especially when hormonal changes are taking place. If your teen ahs been diagnosed with a Chlorine Allergy, avoiding pools and swimming is not necessary if you can make accommodations to help your teen avoid such an outbreak.
When suffering from a Chlorine Allergy, your teen will be classified, by a physician, as suffering from a type 4 allergic reaction. With this type of allergic reaction, the most common signs of the complication include the development of a rash in the armpits and groin area. While your teen may not readily admit to a rash in the groin area, you can visible see such chlorine allergic reactions in the armpits by visible examination.
Once confirmed as suffering from a Chlorine Allergy, your child's pediatrician can provide medication that can be used to reduce and minimize the appearance of the skin rash. Typically, the treatment is topical and includes a gel or cream that is prescription based. Beyond this type of medication, the only other treatment that is recommended is the avoidance of highly chlorinated pools and the use of over-the-counter Benadryl to control itching and inflammation.
If you can monitor the level of chlorine in the pool that your child will be swimming in, this will give you the best control of your teen's Chlorine Allergy risks. If you can not monitor the chlorine levels, then your physician will most likely recommend that your teen only swim in pools that are chemically treated with bromine, an alternative solution to chlorine treatment.
While chlorine allergies are typically not life threatening, they are bothersome and unsightly for children who suffer from the complication. If your teen has been diagnosed with a Chlorine Allergy, be sure to make accommodations to ensure that continued enjoyment with swimming can proceed through the entire year.

i am not a human being mixtape

Being in jail hardly put a damper on Lil Wayne’s media onslaught. He has released just as many music videos, freestyles and guest features during his stint in Ryker’s Island as he ever has. Wayne's manager compiled I’m Not a Human Being, an EP of all new material set to be released on Wayne’s birthday. I’m Not a Human Being aims to whet fan's appetites for Tha Carter 4, Wayne’s next studio album, much in the way 2007's The Leak preceded Tha Carter 3. The EP is due for a viral release with a possible physical release to follow in time for Christmas. I’m Not a Human Being marks Wayne's return to traditional rap following the rap-rock Rebirth fiasco.

So Lil Wayne released his ninth album, “I Am Not A Human Being” today, and remarkably, he did it from the confines of Rikers Island prison, where he still has 39 days left before he is released.
Initially slated as an EP, “I Am Not A Human Being” is now a 10-track album available digitally from now until October 12, when hard copies of the album (with three more tracks) will go on sale. But for an album released from the lockup, it is a surprisingly well-put-together album filled with songs that sound as though Lil Wayne is a free man who can party with as many friends and women as he wants. He can’t.
Prison is a muse for many artists. Country star Johnny Cash released one of best-known prison-inspired works, “At Folsom Prison,” featuring the song “Folsom Prison Blues,” in 1968. That same year, country singer Merle Haggard released “Mama Tried,” song about the pain he caused his mother by being sent to San Quentin.
There have been a number of artists before and since who have come out with material inspired by the idea of prison, or by spending actual time in jail. The great blueswoman Bessie Smith recorded a song called “Jail House Blues” in 1923. Decades later, rapper Tupac Shakur served time during the height of his recording career, and the rapper Shyne released an album in 2004 entitled “Godfather Buried Alive” while serving a ten-year prison sentence. And Elvis Presley’s “Jailhouse Rock,” released in 1957, is the kind of song a ex-con might want to throw on his or her iPod after getting being released.
Lil Wayne’s” I Am Not A Human Being” doesn’t focus on incarceration. Many of the songs were recorded before Wayne started serving his sentence. Instead, the album tied its release date to Lil Wayne’s birthday, which happens to be today. As Wayne said in a statement through the his spokespeople, “I want to give a gift on my birthday to my loyal fans who have continued to support me.”
The new gift may make some fans almost forget his last musical present, the lackluster pseudo-rock album “Rebirth.” On “I Am Not A Human Being,” the lead single “Right Above It” featuring Drake has a success-against-all-odds type of feel. Then there’s “With You” (also featuring Drake), a standout rap love song.
Fans expecting to hear about prison fights, prison food, and prison guards might have to wait until Lil Wayne is released and can safely look back at his time doing time. “I Am Not A Human Being” sounds less like an album about life in jail, and more like an album about the good life Lil Wayne used to enjoy on the outside.

中日之间因在有争议的钓鱼岛水域撞船事件

日本周五(9月24日)宣布释放中国船长詹其雄,随后中国派出包机迎接。
中国方面在船长回国后要求日方道歉并赔偿,而日本则重申扣押船长乃依法行事,批评中国的要求毫无理据。
中日双方过去两周的外交纷争,在英国《金融时报》看来是过去多年来最严重的争坳。
邻居不合
该报周六(9月25日)报道认为,“詹其雄的获释希望能化解两个矛盾多多邻居之间短期内的矛盾,但是却立即让日本当局承担在北京压力前屈服的指责。”
报道说,“同样中国的强硬态度也可能造成反效果,因为它助长了亚洲国家对中国经济取代日本成为世界第二大强国后的担心。”
报道认为,“中日之间新一轮争执发生的同时,中国与周边其他国家的关系也已经转坏。”
报道还引述美国一家研究机构中国问题专家的分析认为:“周边地区很多国家担心,中国变得越来越独断专行,不愿意谈判,不愿意让步。因此这些国家更多地转向美国寻求支持。”
报道认为,这些国家对中国的不满,让美国有机会重新掌握在亚洲外交和防务方面的主导。
低头
周六的《国际先驱论坛报》头版也刊登报道:“日本就扣押船长事件向中国屈服”。
该报引述日本一名国际关系学教授的话说:“看起来,日本就是低头认输了。这就让人们不免要问,日本如果不能在中国的挑战面前坚持到底,为什么从一开始却要搞出这一事件呢?”
报道还引述东京证券交易所主席的话说:“作为一名日本人,我对日本显得这么软弱心情很复杂,但是从现实角度来看,我们最好把这个问题忘掉。"
报道认为,“在中国,船长获释似乎是领导层的胜利,特别是总理温家宝的胜利。中国共产党很愿意显示自己在保卫中国的领土主权,因为这广受老百姓的支持。另外中国也觉得在争取做地区强国时却在地缘政治层面被日本和其他冷战时代美国的盟友包围。
搁置争议
最新一期的《经济学家》杂志撰文评论中国日本之间因钓鱼岛水域撞船事件引发的纠纷。
该文章标题是“邓的继承人对他的教导充耳不闻”。
文章说,“中国对日本扣押中国船员的反应暴露了两国关系不稳定的危险源头。中国完全没有像邓小平教导的那样搁置争议,而是将这一事件扩大成全面的外交对峙。”
文章分析认为:“日本与美国的联盟以及本身相当的军事实力使中国不大可能冒险在有争议岛屿问题上与日本军事对峙。但是中国也让自身的愤怒扩大到外交层面之外。中国已经推迟了与日本举行东海油气田开发谈判和两国增加航班的谈判。”
文章注意到:“让日本觉得放心的是,中国并没有鼓励民众上街抗议。尽管9·18周年之际中国发生了零星的抗议,但是规模很小,气氛和平,警方严密管控。中国似乎也急于控制更大规模的抗议活动。”
《经济学家》杂志的这一文章最后评论说:“即使中国广受欢迎的民族主义目前似乎在网络以外受到控制,但是亚洲国家已经担心,中国领导人对广阔的海洋权益越来越独断专行。最近几个月,中国官员已经对美国在黄海军事演习大发怨言,并宣称中国的南海主权是国家的核心利益。一个正在走强的中国对邓小平韬光养晦的教导越来越漫不经心。”
日本冲绳地方检察厅副检事铃木亨周五傍晚召开记者会解释释放中国船长的原因是“考虑到事态对国民的影响和日中关系”,是日本传媒、舆论舆论首先批评菅直人政权一再重申撞船事件按国内法采取应对的立场,却在冲绳地检公开说政治判断下宣告瓦解。
内阁官房长官仙谷由人在东京的记者会上以“尊重冲绳司法判断”抵挡质问后,在纽约出席联合国大会的首相菅直人和外相前原诚司也遭到日本记者质问。
不过菅直人只回答“为了加深战略互惠关系,中日双方努力保持冷静很重要”,前原也表示,尊重检察机关根据国内法作出的综合性判断。
包括TBS东京广播系统电视的新闻在内,日本多个传媒报道说,首相外访中官房长官主持政府运作的规定,令律师出身的仙谷在菅直人和前原都不在的情况下,容易决定释放船长。
几乎所有左中右传媒、舆论都认为,既然存在政治判断的因素,那么菅直人政权何以不及时采取行动;而选择在中国周四逮捕四名日本人、周五停滞稀土出口日本的贸易手续这些可能是报复日本的行动后释放船长,给中日两国都留下日本外交屈服的印象。
中国周六凌晨发表要求日本道歉和赔偿的声明,更令日本广泛认识到,外交屈服果然导致中国得寸进尺。各大传媒纷纷以“外交失败”、“屈辱外交”等来形容释放中国船长的决定。
屈辱外交的祸根
亲中大报《朝日新闻》周六的社论说,释放中国船长是菅直人政权轻率的外交导致要作出苦涩的政治决定。
文章说:“这个政治决定给了中国施加压力就能令日本屈服的印象,而且今后就有必须抹去这个印象的必要”,显示忧虑今后菅直人政权为了避忌,难以正常对华外交。
右派报纸《产经新闻》的社论以“释放中国船长把日本贬低到什么程度”为标题,形容释放船长为日本外交种下了千年的屈辱祸根。

《朝日新闻》:释放詹其雄是菅直人政权轻率的外交导致要作出苦涩的政治决定。
不过日本各大传媒都留意到,美国国务院迅速对日本释放中国船长表示了欢迎。美国忧虑中日围绕东海的纠纷长期化会导致地区形势恶化,欢迎日本释放船长的立场不难理解。
但一些传媒也引述美国关注日美安保的人士传出忧虑说,日本这次超法规的应对可能成为今后以此作解决同样问题的先例。
前原可能也因这一忧虑在纽约强调:“东海不存在主权纠纷,如果今后日本再遇到同样的事态,日本仍然会采取毅然的措施。”
他对中国要求道歉和赔偿的声明说,没看到详细内容,不愿置评。但他对今后是否修复中日关系的问题说:“外交是外务省处理,但首相官邸作出综合调整,今后怎么做现在什么也没定。”
《朝日新闻》周六说,中日外交对话闭锁中,日本急于修复日美关系,美国也要用加强的日美同盟力量牵制中国。
在日本活跃的中国人学者、日本东洋大学教授朱建荣周六在TBS说,这次事件最大的赢家是美国。
他说,中日两国政府都被各自的国内舆论推向艰难境地,假如中国继续对日采取强硬的外交,那就更把日本完全推给了美国。
朱建荣说,11月中国国家主席胡锦涛访日出席亚太经合组织APEC首脑会议可能是中日修复关系的契机。
外务省发言人佐藤悟周六(9月25日)发表声明作出如上表述,并重申日方乃依法办事,批评中方的要求毫无理据。
此前,身在美国的日本外相前原诚司称,由于尚未见到中方声明的内容,所以不作评论,但重申日本将继续维护对钓鱼岛(日本称尖阁诸岛)的主权。
中国外交部当天早些时候的声明则重申,北京认为日方对中国渔民渔船的扣押、调查以及任何形式的司法举措“都是非法和无效的”。
要求道歉
在詹其雄于周六凌晨返抵福州后,中国外交部发表声明,再次强烈抗议日方“严重侵犯中国领土主权和中国公民人权的行径”。
声明重申中国“对钓鱼岛及其所属岛屿拥有无可争辩的主权”,并要求日方必须就此次事件向中方作出道歉和赔偿。
正在纽约出席联合国大会的日本首相菅直人表示,放人的决定并非出于政治压力。
菅直人称,中国与日本无论如何彼此都是重要的邻邦,两国都有必要冷静应对任何事情。
与此同时,日本驻华大使馆表示正与中方联络,安排会晤被中国当局拘留的四名日本人。据日本放送协会(NHK)报道,中方将批准会见,但具体安排尚待敲定。
四名日本人周一因涉嫌擅闯河北省某处军事管理区并进行摄像活动而被中国当局扣押

日本外务省表明,东京拒绝就扣押中国渔船船长詹其雄一事向北京作出道歉和赔偿。
外务省发言人佐藤悟周六发表声明,重申日方乃依法办事,批评中方的要求毫无理据。
此前,身在美国的日本外相前原诚司称,日本将继续维护对钓鱼岛(日本称尖阁诸岛)的主权。
中国外交部当天早些时候再次批评,日方任何形式的司法举措“都是非法和无效的”。

Can estrogen replacement therapy reduce my risk for heart disease?

No. Estrogen replacement therapy, also called hormone replacement therapy (HRT), was prescribed by doctors because they hoped it could help guard against certain diseases as well as treat the symptoms of menopause. It was once thought that HRT could help protect against heart disease. New studies have shown that when it comes to heart health, HRT actually does more harm than good. If you’re taking HRT to help prevent heart disease, talk to your doctor about whether you should stop.Estrogen replacement therapy has been used for a long time to treat menopausal symptoms in women. For much of that time, it was believed that one of the benefits of the treatment was that it reduced the risk of heart disease.
This made sense for a number of reasons. One, in the decade after menopause, when there are major changes in hormonal levels, women's risk of heart disease goes up substantially. So the speculation was that if you offset the drop in estrogen, you could stop this increased risk from occurring.
Two, the estrogen replacement therapy increases "good" cholesterol and decreases "bad" cholesterol, and since cholesterol seems to be an important factor in heart disease risk, this appeared to indicate the treatment would help in this area.
Third, multiple observational studies seemed to show that women who underwent the treatment were less likely to develop heart disease than women who did not.
Still, the evidence was not conclusive, and there were a minority of physicians who remained unconvinced.
So larger, much more expensive, randomized, blinded clinical trials were conducted that controlled for other factors. The result? To most people's surprise, the hypothesis that estrogen replacement therapy lowered the risk of heart disease failed.
Interpretations of the results are not unanimous, and additional studies and research continue to be conducted, but it now appears that estrogen taken in conjunction with progestin (a synthetic form of progesterone) actually increases the risk of heart disease, while estrogen taken alone has either minimal benefits for heart disease or none.
If further research reveals any heart disease benefits at all to any version of estrogen replacement therapy for menopausal women, they are likely to be tiny, and certainly dwarfed by other actions people could take such as quitting smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, and exercising.
Which is not to say that doctors no longer recommend estrogen replacement therapy in any cases. The purported effects on heart disease were merely one of the reasons the treatment was used. Doctors still selectively recommend short-term estrogen replacement therapy for some of their patients for the relief of menopausal symptoms, especially in women who experience premature menopause or premature ovarian failure before age 40.
But certainly weighing the costs and benefits in a given case has been made a lot more complicated with the new evidence reversing the previous majority medical beliefs about estrogen replacement therapy and heart disease.

What is staging of Breast Cancer?

Once your doctor has diagnosed your Breast Cancer, he or she works to determine the extent (stage) of your cancer. Your cancer's stage helps determine your prognosis and your treatment options. Complete information about your cancer's stage may not be available until after you undergo Breast Cancer surgery.

Tests and procedures used to stage Breast Cancer may include:

  • Blood tests, such as a complete blood count
  • Mammogram of the other breast to look for signs of cancer
  • Chest X-ray
  • Breast MRI
  • Bone scan
  • Computerized tomography (CT) scan
  • Positron emission tomography (PET) scan

Not all women will need all of these tests and procedures. Your doctor selects the appropriate tests.

Breast Cancer stages range from 0 to IV, with 0 indicating cancer that is very small and noninvasive. Stage IV Breast Cancer, also called metastatic Breast Cancer, indicates cancer that has spread to other areas of the body.

Staging is a method that has been developed to describe the extent of cancer growth. Breast Cancer is 'staged' by information that is obtained from surgical and other findings. Specifically, information is gathered from the pathology (disease) report that accompanies a lumpectomy (lump removal), mastectomy (breast removal), or other form of breast surgery. In addition, staging is based upon findings from imaging studies - such as chest x-ray, abdominal ultrasound (images produced by high-frequency sound waves) computed tomography (CT or CAT scan; computer-assisted technique that produces cross-sectional images of the body), and bone scans.

The physician uses all available findings to choose a stage that best describes the person's condition. Staging helps to predict how an individual will fare over time - that is, it helps the physician to estimate how long a person will live and the risk of cancer recurrence, or relapse. Correspondingly, staging allows the physician to customize cancer treatment. In general, the lower the stage, the better the person's prognosis (expected outcome).

The TNM System

Pathologists (disease specialists) use a specific system to stage Breast Cancer. This method- known as the TNM system - was devised by the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) in collaboration with the National Cancer Institute (NCI). Within the TNM system, "T" refers totumor size, "N" refers to lymph node involvement, and "M" refers to the extent ofmetastasis. The primary tumor (T) is ranked within one of the following categories:

The lower the stage number, the less the cancer has grown and spread. For example, a "stage I" Breast Cancer is relatively small and has not yet spread to the lymph nodes or other sites. By contrast, a "stage IV" cancer is much more serious, as it has already metastasized to the lymph nodes as well as another location(s).

Women with low-stage tumors have a better chance of surviving Breast Cancer than women with high-stage tumors. Recent findings from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) indicate that 5-year survival rates are 96% for limited, low-stage Breast Cancers (stage 0, stage I, and some stage II cancers), 75% for Breast Cancers that have invaded the surrounding tissue (stage II & III cancers), and only 20% for Breast Cancers that have metastasized (stage IV cancers). Unfortunately, survival rates are lower and Breast Cancer stages tend to be higher among women from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Cancer stage is based on the size of the tumor, whether the cancer is invasive or non-invasive, whether lymph nodes are involved, and whether the cancer has spread beyond the breast.

The purpose of the staging system is to help organize the different factors and some of the personality features of the cancer into categories, in order to:

  • best understand your prognosis (the most likely outcome of the disease)
  • guide treatment decisions (together with other parts of your pathology report), since clinical studies of Breast Cancer treatments that you and your doctor will consider are partly organized by the staging system
  • provide a common way to describe the extent of Breast Cancer for doctors and nurses all over the world, so that results of your treatment can be compared and understood

Stage 0

Stage 0 is used to describe non-invasive Breast Cancers, such as DCIS and LCIS. In stage 0, there is no evidence of cancer cells or non-cancerous abnormal cells breaking out of the part of the breast in which they started, or of getting through to or invading neighboring normal tissue.

Stage I

Stage I describes invasive Breast Cancer (cancer cells are breaking through to or invading neighboring normal tissue) in which:

  • the tumor measures up to 2 centimeters, AND
  • no lymph nodes are involved

Stage II

Stage II is divided into subcategories known as IIA and IIB.

Stage IIA describesinvasive Breast Cancer in which:

  • no tumor can be found in the breast, but cancer cells are found in the axillary lymph nodes (the lymph nodes under the arm), OR
  • the tumor measures 2 centimeters or less and has spread to the axillary lymph nodes, OR
  • the tumor is larger than 2 centimeters but not larger than 5 centimeters and has not spread to the axillary lymph nodes

Stage IIB describes invasive Breast Cancer in which:

  • the tumor is larger than 2 but no larger than 5 centimeters and has spread to the axillary lymph nodes, OR
  • the tumor is larger than 5 centimeters but has not spread to the axillary lymph nodes

Stage III

Stage III is divided into subcategories known as IIIA, IIIB, and IIIC.

Stage IIIA describes invasive Breast Cancer in which either:

  • no tumor is found in the breast. Cancer is found in axillary lymph nodes that are clumped together or sticking to other structures, or cancer may have spread to lymph nodes near the breastbone, OR
  • the tumor is 5 centimeters or smaller and has spread to axillary lymph nodes that are clumped together or sticking to other structures, OR
  • the tumor is larger than 5 centimeters and has spread to axillary lymph nodes that are clumped together or sticking to other structures

Stage IIIB describes invasive Breast Cancer in which:

  • the tumor may be any size and has spread to the chest wall and/or skin of the breast AND
  • may have spread to axillary lymph nodes that are clumped together or sticking to other structures, or cancer may have spread to lymph nodes near the breastbone
  • Inflammatory Breast Cancer is considered at least stage IIIB.

Stage IIIC describes invasive Breast Cancer in which:

  • there may be no sign of cancer in the breast or, if there is a tumor, it may be any size and may have spread to the chest wall and/or the skin of the breast, AND
  • the cancer has spread to lymph nodes above or below the collarbone, AND
  • the cancer may have spread to axillary lymph nodes or to lymph nodes near the breastbone

Stage IV

Stage IVdescribes invasive Breast Cancer in which:

  • the cancer has spread to other organs of the body -- usually the lungs, liver, bone, or brain

"Metastatic at presentation" means that the Breast Cancer has spread beyond the breast and nearby lymph nodes, even though this is the first diagnosis of Breast Cancer. The reason for this is that the primary Breast Cancer was not found when it was only inside the breast. Metastatic cancer is considered stage IV.

Additional staging information

You may also hear terms such as "early" or "earlier" stage, "later," or "advanced" stage Breast Cancer. Although these terms are not medically precise (they may be used differently by different doctors), here is a general idea of how they apply to the official staging system:

Early stage

  • Stage 0
  • Stage I
  • Stage II
  • Some stage III

Later or advancedstage

  • Other stage III
  • StageIV

Doctors use a staging system to determine how far a cancer has spread. The most common system is the TNM staging system. You may hear the cancer described by three characteristics:

  • size (T stands for tumor)
  • lymph node involvement (N stands for node)
  • whether it has metastasized (M stands for metastasis)

The T (size) category describes the original (primary) tumor:

  • TX means the tumor can't be measured or found.
  • T0 means there isn't any evidence of the primary tumor.
  • Tis means the cancer is "in situ" (the tumor has not started growing into the breast tissue).
  • The numbers T1-T4 describe the size and/or how much the cancer has grown into the breast tissue. The higher the T number, the larger the tumor and/or the more it may have grown into the breast tissue.

The N (node involvement) category describes whether or not the cancer has reached nearby lymph nodes:

  • NX means the nearby lymph nodes can't be measured or found.
  • N0 means nearby lymph nodes do not contain cancer.
  • The numbers N1-N3 describe the size, location, and/or the number of lymph nodes involved. The higher the N number, the more the lymph nodes are involved.

Carl Edwards

arl Michael Edwards, II (born August 15, 1979) is an American NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and Nationwide Series driver for Roush Fenway Racing. In the Sprint Cup Series, Edwards drives the #99 Aflac Ford Fusion with Scotts-Miracle Gro for 6 races, Subway for 3 races, and Kellogg's and Cheez-It each for one race. In the Nationwide Series he drives the #60 Copart/Fastenal Ford Fusion/Ford Mustang with some sponsorship from Citigroup, Vitaminwater, Valvoline, and Aflac.

In front of 52,000, Carl Edwards and his No. 60 Aflac Ford won the Missouri-Illinois Dodge Dealers 250, his 27th victory in 195 NASCAR Nationwide Series races. This is his second victory and 15th top-10 finish in 2010. This is also his third victory and sixth top-10 finish in seven races at Gateway International Raceway.

Finishing second, Reed Sorenson and his No. 32 Dollar General Stores Toyota posted his fifth top-10 finish in six races at Gateway International Raceway. It is his 11th top-10 finish in 2010.

In third, Trevor Bayne and his No. 99 Out! Pet Care Toyota posted his first top-10 finish in two races at Gateway International Raceway.

Paul Menard and his No. 98 Richmond/Menards Ford picked up a fourth place result with Steve Wallace and his No. 66 5-hour Energy Toyota rounding out the top five.

Brian Scott (sixth) was the highest finishing rookie.

Brad Keselowski leads the NASCAR Nationwide point standings by 168 points over Carl Edwards.

2009
Heading into the 2009 Nascar Sprint Cup Season, Carl Edwards will be sponsored by Aflac, Subway for three races, and Claritin for one race. The Office Depot sponsorship heads over to Tony Stewart and his Stewart-Haas team. Many media analysts expected Edwards to challenge Johnson for the championship.
In the #99 Claritin car, on the final lap of the April 26, 2009 Talledega race (Aarons 499) Edwards survived one of the most violent crashes in NASCAR history. Heading into the tri-oval with the lead, Brad Keselowski attempted to make the pass. Following this, Edwards came down the track and touched the right front side of Keselowski's car, sending him spinning. Edwards bounced off Ryan Newman, and flipped airborne into the catchfence. Edwards emerged from the car unharmed and sprinted on foot over the start/finish line to the cheers of the crowd. Eight fans were injured, the worst being a woman with a broken jaw. The woman was airlifted to a nearby hospital.[2] Edwards experienced another winless season in 2009 as his best finish was 2nd at Pocono Raceway.
Although Kyle Busch won the NASCAR Nationwide Series, Edwards finished 2nd place in the series and scored 5 wins, finishing 210 pts. behind the leader.
[edit]Other Racing
On June 6, 2007, Carl won the 2007 NEXTEL Prelude to the Dream at the Eldora Speedway. The Prelude is a dirt late model race organized in part by Tony Stewart, owner of Eldora, to benefit the Victory Junction Gang Camp and other worthy causes. Over 20 NEXTEL Cup drivers participated in the heat races and 30-lap feature, along with other drivers from different forms of motorsports. Edwards started second in the feature and held off Kyle Busch and Jeff Gordon to win.
Edwards participated in the 2008 Race of Champions, partnered by Tanner Foust. While in the individual event Edwards faced 7-time Formula One Champion Michael Schumacher and defeated him. In the next round, however, Edwards was defeated by eventual runner-up David Coulthard.
[edit]Personal life

Edwards is a first cousin once removed to fellow NASCAR driver Ken Schrader, who furiously told Edwards early in his racing career to get dirt track experience before going to Cup; he would later take the advice. In light of this relationship, Edwards is often referred to as "Cousin Carl." Edwards would give a business card to other teams for his services before getting a ride with Roush Racing.
Off the track, Carl has been busy promoting his new record label, Back40 Records, a company he started with a high school friend back in Columbia, Missouri.[3]
During the week of the Auto Club 500, Edwards participated in taping of the Fox television series 24, where he played Homeland Security Agent Jim Hill.
It has been rumored that he is the cousin of Buffalo Bills Quarterback Trent Edwards. During an interview with Dave Hollander of AOL Sports [4], Hollander asked if Carl's cousin Trent Edwards had the same allergies as he did. After Carl replied that, "My old cousin Trent...he probably has the same kind of stuff I do," Roush Fenway Racing Senior Account Manager Randy Fuller said he didn't know that Trent Edwards was Carl's cousin. In response to Fuller, Edwards said, "He's not. I’m just rollin’ with it."
Edwards also appeared on The Price Is Right, where he presented both Showcases on the November 10, 2009 episode. The Showcases were NASCAR-themed, with a trip to the Coca-Cola 600 and a Camping World trailer featured in one Showcase, while the other featured the debut of a new garage door prop for the "ultimate garage" Showcase that featured tools and a hybrid version of his Ford Fusion racer.
Edwards is a known fan of professional wrestling, specifically WWE, and wrestler John Cena is one of his closest friends. He guest hosted on WWE Monday Night RAW on February 8, 2010.
On Wednesday, February 24, 2010, Edwards' wife gave birth to their first child, Anne Katherine Edwards, at 12:44 pm CT in Columbia, MO. She was 8 lbs 4 oz

oil spill stopped

Has the leaking of BP oil spill stopped in gulf? You may just hear the update news about oil spill live feed that states the oil spill has stopped for now after 85 days and up to 184 million gallons. BP finally gained control over one of America’s biggest environmental catastrophes on Thursday. They were placing a carefully fitted cap over a runaway geyser that has been gushing crude into the Gulf of Mexico since early spring.
A temporary fix has been done to make BP oil spill stopped forever, the accomplishment was greeted with hope and high expectations and in many cases along the beleaguered coastline, disbelief. If the cap holds, if the sea floor doesn’t crack and if the relief wells being prepared are completed successfully.
This could be the beginning of the stop for the spill. But that’s a lot of ifs, and no one was declaring any sort of victory beyond the moment. The BP oil spill stopped in gulf for flowing at 3:25 p.m. EDT when the last of three valves in the 75-ton cap was slowly throttled shut.
The worst-case scenario would be if the oil forced down into the bedrock ruptured the seafloor irreparably. Leaks deep in the well bore might also be found, which would mean that oil would continue to flow into the Gulf. And there’s always the possibility of another explosion, either from too much pressure or from a previously unknown unstable piece of piping.
The works to make BP oil spill stopped in gulf in the darkness of deep water on Thursday was a combination of trial, error, technology and luck.
BP has managed to stop the flow of oil from the compromised Deepwater Horizon oil well for the first time in the nearly three months since the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico began. Response team leaders and the White House caution, however, that the capping of the well is only part of an extensive test to check well integrity, and that the well may need to be re-opened.

“We're encouraged by this development, but this isn't over,” Thad Allen, the National Incident commander, said in a statement Thursday evening.

“Over the next several hours we will continue to collect data and work with the federal science team to analyze this information … in the hopes of gaining a better understanding on the condition of the well bore and options for temporary shut [down] of the well during a hurricane,” Allen said.

“It is a great sign. … But I have to stress that we have to manage our expectations,” BP CEO Doug Suttles told reporters at a televised press conference on Thursday.

Perhaps the most important well test will involve determining the pressure on the new well cap. High pressure readings would indicate a successful capping of the leak, even if that success is only temporary. Low pressures would let the response team know that other leaks are likely present, still spilling oil into the Gulf, according to information presented by BP.

“It's possible if the pressures are low that we will have to re-initiate the flow and capture it. And I want to tell you that we're prepared to do that,” Suttles said.

If the well does need to be re-opened, the new cap will still increase the response team’s ability to collect oil “up to a containment capacity of 60,000 to 80,000 barrels of oil a day,” Robert Gibbs, White House press secretary, said during a White House press briefing on Thursday.

In the 24-hour period before the integrity tests began, slightly less than 8,000 barrels of oil were collected, according to data presented by BP.

The company estimates that the tests will last between 6 and 48 hours.
The drilling of the two relief wells that are seen by the response team as the ultimate, permanent solution to the spill crisis, has been suspended “as a precaution” for the duration of the tests, according to BP.

长春出租车罢工图片

昨天下午去单位开会,本以为10分钟打车轻松能到!好嘛,走了近1个半小时,没车拉我!当然过去也有这种拒载的情况发生,那我也理解了,因为过去都是下午3点半左右打出租车,人家要交班不顺路,不拉我也正常!可昨天确实让我感觉突如其来!到单位,才知道长春部分出租车司机罢工一天!我算是出租车司机的忠实粉丝吧?自从三年前得了腰间盘,刚养好点,也不敢挤大车,大公交上下班高峰期那人是海了蹦了,挤的蹬蹬的!小偷有没有我就不清楚了,清楚的是一旦那大公交司机师傅急刹车或者急转弯,我的老腰就很危险!只可叹呢,我昨天是被逼无奈,走到单位,到单位时,也快下班了!!!

  某个司机朋友说的情况是这样的: 长春现在的交通情况很不好 可以说是非常拥挤 所以出租车一个白班12小时也就是能够拉300元左右.300除去80左右的油钱+68的管理费+每天大概50元左右的维护费用.所剩无几......以前出租车公司每月的管理费是500元 .2年以前涨价到每天68元(68X30天) .现在要涨价到每天118元(118X30天).所以基本不赚钱了.而且是半年签次合同.想不续签就不续签...... 长春的出租车这次罢工不是针对市民.也不是针对政府.而是针对某些拥有出租车特许经营权的出租车企业。

  然后昨晚又是走回家的,走了近2小时,回来时和邻居探讨了下,都知道了,不是啥新闻!有的邻居说是国家给了司机油补,让某些有经营权的出租车公司老板给扣下了;还有的说挂靠手续费水涨船高,油价飙升,司机快干不动了;还有的邻居很支持司机罢工,因为说今天不堵车了,过马路也不用担惊受怕了,步行更健康,如果这么下去,可以考虑骑自行车上下班了……

  长春的交通是越治理越堵车,马路是年年修,司机一个比一个猛!拐弯不打转向的有的是,超速行驶的有的是,开车打电话看mv的有的是,不光出租车有这种现象,私家车的司机素质更让人担忧!如果中国出个法律,酒后驾车直接终身停止上道,故意撞死行人直接枪毙并赔偿受害人家庭经济及精神损失。我倒想看看,还有谁敢闯天下之大不韪?

  其实司机也是弱势群体,没有工会,没有养老保险,住房公积金更谈不上,很多都是自负盈亏。开快车走捷径甚至违反交通规则,只为了多拉几个活,多跑几趟,这个我们都能理解,但并不支持!不能因为可以多赚钱就不顾交通法规,就不顾行人的安全,就忽视更多家庭的幸福!

  你们罢工了,我相信不是针对zf,也不是针对老百姓,就是针对那些不讲道理的所谓规则所谓手续所谓费用!可是你们想过没有,罢工一天会有什么结果?哪一方会妥协,哪一方更吃亏?

  如果为了交通顺畅,我或者更加支持出租车司机罢工一年。但如果为了争取权益,罢工或者不是最有效的办法,最有效的办法是要求zf介入,筹办司机的工会,不定期的和交管部门沟通并给出合理化建议。找到一个能令长春走向有序合理的交通管理办法!
本帖于2010年07月02日03时55分被长春老李修改
昨天我夜里值班,所以怀孕的老婆只能自己打车上班,怕堵车的她6:30打电话给我说出租车罢工了,她先是打了一辆出租车,司机说我只能给你送到东岭,因为罢工的司机虽然只有1/3,但是他们已经宣布要是发现别的司机正常拉客他们会砸车(该司机原话),所以他不敢往市里走,然后我老婆到东岭后又拦了一辆私家车,人家把她顺道拉到单位。听到这个消息后我很气愤,对于已饱受修路折磨的长春来说,出租车的罢工更让长春的交通雪上加霜。对于罢工我想说以下几句:
1.为什么罢工没有得到社会广泛的同情?
据悉,此次罢工的原因是出租车公司准备涨价,且想把挂靠在自己公司上的出租车踢出公司,以便出租车公司能够统一管理。其实出租车司机的辛苦谁都明白,本来就相对弱势的群体是承担不起涨价和被踢的痛苦的,但是我看了一遍长春的几处主要的论坛,面对罢工这件事情,群众却并没有像对待广州本田罢工事件一样给予舆论上的支持,原因我分析有以下几种:
(1)长期以来长春的哥开车不遵守交通规则给大家留下不好的印象,乱停车,乱变线,逆向行驶,给长春交通带来很多麻烦。
(2)拒载事件层出不穷,近期不询问乘客就乱拼车导致冲突的事件也是越来越多。
(3)罢工的扬言砸不罢工的车,令社会反感。
总结以上几条,可以说这次罢工无论结果如何,在群众中的反应一定不会良好。
2.不同情出租车,但是我们可以干什么哪?
即使很多人没有同情这次罢工,但是很多人还是客观的表示对出租车这个行业辛苦的理解,也表达了对于出租车明天的期望,我们不能一生气就明天集体不打车来报复出租车罢工,更不能说取消这个行业,出租车和我们每个人的生活都戚戚相关。
面对罢工,我想如果出租车司机们仅仅想通过此次罢工来维护自己几十块的利益而损害群众的出行,我们是不会同情的。但是如果你们是为了维护行业利益,想让长春的出租车行业健康、管理化,从而保证你们各人的利益,我想全体长春人民都会支持你们的。
对于罢工我们可以不同情,但是面对出租车行业的明天我们每个长春人都应当帮助的哥们承担起一份责任。
3.对于的哥我的几点意见
(1)成立有组织的行业工会
的哥团结是出了名的,但是更像自己组织的帮会,很多人都说一有问题很多出租车都聚过来跟要打架一样。其实的哥组织给我们社会已经带来很多的帮助,例如长春的路况通讯员团队,还有消防团队等等,他们的存在给了我们长春人很多的实惠。但是我认为的哥的团体还是无序的,有好的团体,也有不好的群体,所以的哥想要增加团体的话语权,应当成立合法的行业工会,用来维护自己的利益。
(2)工会的第一个任务是整顿内部
如果成立的哥工会,首先目的不是对外施压,而是要管理的哥内部的秩序,合法有序的经营,提高群体素质,什么时候工会内一个司机要是拒载的话都不好意思开会的时候,工会才有了其最基本的意义。自我规范和承担应有的责任才是的哥工会建立的目的。
(3)工会第二个任务是维护的哥利益
的哥工会应当在的哥最需要帮助时,对外施加影响,提出合理合法的要求,这点我就不多说了,别像富士康那个吃屎工会一样就可以了。
最后还是那句话,的哥的辛苦我们群众都很明白,但是他们为什么不招人喜欢其实他们自己也明白,没有群众同情的罢工是不会有好的结果的,但是没有对与出租车明天的支持,群众的利益也不会保障的,我不想看到出租车违章,拒载,宰客成为他们赚钱的手段,也不想生计原因成为该手段的义正言辞的原因。规范出租车行业,提高的哥素质,政府给予补助,群众给予支持,我们长春的出租车行业和交通秩序才会真正的好起来。

朴龙河自杀真正死因

警方称死因可能是酒后冲动

  据韩国媒体报道,曾出演《冬季恋歌》等作品的韩国艺人朴龙河6月30日早晨被发现在自己房间内自杀身亡,年仅33岁。

  朴龙河的母亲在30日早上5时30分左右发现了朴龙河自杀身亡,据韩国警方透露,朴龙河用手机充电器线缠住自己的脖子,窒息而死。朴龙河的家人在接受警方调查时表示,朴龙河在30日凌晨替胃癌晚期的父亲按摩后向家人说了好几声“对不起”,随后就回到了自己的房间中,之后就一直没有从房间里出来。

  警方称朴并未患抑郁症

  韩国当红艺人朴龙河自杀消息传开后,让粉丝们和身边朋友非常不解。在调查中的首尔警方发言人说朴龙河并没有抑郁症,父亲的癌症和自己个人公司的债务可能导致他有压力,而酒后冲动是自杀的最大可能。

  调查该次事件的首尔江南警察局30日下午3时(韩国当地时间)向外宣布调查的暂时结果,警方说:“根据调查和资料显示朴龙河并没有特别因为经济困难而患忧郁症,另外遗书和疑似的备忘录等也没有发现。不过最近的确有向朋友抱怨过生活很辛苦,需要重新理清头绪等,胃癌中的父亲也是他感到难过的原因之一,29日晚上朴龙河是喝完酒后回到家的,并在替父亲按摩时连说几句对不起。朴龙河经营的小公司还在起步阶段,很多细节需要构思,压力不少的朴龙河经常靠安眠药入睡。这些特征整合起来很有可能是他酒后一时的冲动做出自杀的行为。”

  自杀前清空手机通话记录

  本来警方希望通过手机通话记录获得线索,却发现他手机内通话记录全被清除,应该是他自杀前自己删除的,因此加重了调查的困难度。而根据尸体的程度判断死亡时间在凌晨4时至5时。

  朴龙河自杀后几位圈里圈外好友都称29日曾和他通电话,包括朴时妍、东方神起成员金在中都称电话内交谈一切正常,并没有察觉不妥。而圈外好友则说和他通电话曾听他抱怨活着很累等内容,警方从房间内带走了朴龙河的手机后发现所有通话记录均已删除,应是朴龙河本人在自杀前所为,因此无法获知究竟最后一位与他通话的对象是谁。而短信文件夹内也仅得一条30日凌晨0时30分经理人发给他的短信,内容为:“小心开车,喝酒的话就别自己开了。”

  此外,在南非世界杯上大放异彩的朝鲜国脚郑大世早前在他的博客中透露,品味完美食后,他和安英学等人还去了按摩店。郑大世对那里的按摩技艺赞美有加:“就是全身按摩加足底按摩,真的很舒服。”按照郑大世的说法,和他们一起享受的还有韩国男星朴龙河。

  半红不黑日子“很难过”

  朴龙河1994年凭借《主题游戏》出道,而让他真正走入观众视线的则是曾经创下了高收视率的电视剧《看了又看》,当时稍显青涩的他演绎了一个年轻男教师的喜怒哀乐。后来与裴勇俊、崔智友等人联袂主演的电视剧《冬季恋歌》赢得了很多掌声。而近来大火的《ONAIR》则是朴龙河退伍后的又一力作。最近,朴龙河传出将和尹恩惠一起出演新剧,这个时候自杀令人费解。

  据“体育朝鲜”消息,备受喜爱的“韩流”明星朴龙河到底为什么会选择这种极端的方式?对于朴龙河自杀的原因,多位身边好友谨慎地表示:“现实生活中遇到了许多不顺心的事,原因比较多。”

  负责处理朴龙河日本活动事务的一位身边人士表示,与海外相比,朴龙河在韩国国内的人气总不是很高,因此他感到很有压力。此人表示:“几年前朴龙河曾打算离开大型策划公司,自己成立公司开展事业。但他只是在海外受到‘韩流’明星的礼遇,相比之下,在韩国国内的活动却不是很顺利,所以很难过。”

韩国演艺圈再传噩耗,因演出《冬季恋歌》走红的朴龙河(也称朴容夏),昨天凌晨被母亲发现陈尸首尔论岘洞家中,自家公寓,疑似自杀。

  据韩国警方说,朴龙河的母亲去看看儿子睡得好不好,打开房门却发现儿子上吊身亡,就立刻报了警。警方到达现场后看到,朴龙河是用手机充电器电线上吊的。据悉,朴龙河在睡前的午夜12时,还为给患胃癌晚期的父亲按摩背部和腿部,之后向家人说了两声“对不起”就进了房间,没想到清晨被发现已陈尸卧室,得年33岁。

  对于朴龙河自杀的原因,韩国警方表示仍在调查,并未说明是否发现遗书。

凭《冬季恋歌》跃升韩流明星

  朴龙河于1994年通过MBC电视台《主题剧场》出道,随后演出电视剧《看了又看》、“Loving you”以及电影《圣诞节下雪》等作品,凭借柔中带刚的形象,赢得了众多女性观众的喜爱。

  2002年,朴龙河凭借《冬季恋歌》,和裴勇俊、崔智友一同跃升为韩流明星,在亚洲拥有高人气。他在《冬》剧里担任第二男主角“金翔赫”,是裴勇俊的情敌。在电视剧火爆人气的带动下,朴龙河转攻日本市场,也在日本首次步入歌坛,演歌双栖。

  他在2004年演出日剧《东京湾景》,也积极从事歌唱事业,出过CD,曾在日本武道馆举办演唱会。2004年11月单曲《不要走》跻身Oricon音乐排行榜前十名,2009年7月迷你专辑(EP)“Once in a summertime”位居Oricon排行榜第六名,成绩不菲。

《冬季恋歌》是第一部在亚洲掀起“韩风”的电视剧。主角有朴素美(左一起)、裴勇俊、崔智友以及朴龙河。

原定演出韩版《甜蜜蜜》

  朴龙河后来还成立经纪公司,2008年则通过电视剧《真爱On Air》重返韩国荧屏,《真》是朴龙河时隔6年拍摄的电视剧,他一改原有的温和形象,成功地饰演了冷傲的角色,人气也节节攀升,他还以此剧获得“SBS年度最佳演技奖”。之后,又通过出演电影《作战》和电视剧《男人故事》等作品,积极开展国内的演艺事业。最近还和尹恩惠被选定演出韩剧版《甜蜜蜜》——“Love Song”的男女主角,并从今年6月19日起,在日本进行巡演18场,不久前刚结束在横须贺、川口的公演返韩,原本计划7月2日再度飞日,在神户国际会馆公演。

  作为演员和歌手,朴龙河都很出色,他曾获得过1998年MBC演技大奖新人奖,2002年KBS演技大奖最佳演技奖,2005年第19届日本金唱片奖最佳新人奖,2007年和2008年日本金唱片奖的年度最佳单曲奖和最佳亚洲艺人奖,2009年获选为日本最受欢迎的韩国男演员。

自杀前一天 与朝鲜足球明星郑大世在北京按摩?

  另有报道说,朴龙河自杀前一天,还与朝鲜足球明星郑大世在按摩店巧遇。郑大世在6月29日上午6点30分更新博客,文中提到在过境北京按摩时有朴龙河大哥的相陪。

  据了解,朝鲜队从南非世界杯打道回府后,需要经过北京转机,因此郑大世与队友在过境时,特地到北京东大桥附近的一家韩国烧烤餐厅品尝家乡味,同时也在他人建议下前去一家很有名的按摩店纾缓征战的劳累。

  巧合的是,郑大世与安英学等人还在店里遇到朴龙河,事后他在博客贴文说:“时差真的是很讨厌……;好在有游戏机陪我。而朴龙河大哥就在我旁边呼呼地睡着,我却完全睡不着,只能玩游戏。”从这段叙述也可看出他们的交情很“哥儿们”。

  朴龙河的遗体已移至首尔江南圣母医院的灵堂,但朴龙河离世的消息令整个娱乐圈震惊。共同出演《真爱On Air》的三名艺人金荷娜、李凡秀和宋允儿也深受打击,金荷娜透过经纪公司表示:“第二天看到报纸得知了这场悲剧,受到了巨大打击。”

  艺人好友苏志燮在灵堂悼念时更是放下明星身份,大哭不止,完全不理会媒体拍摄。

  苏志燮的新剧“Road No.1”拍摄已进入尾声,他在6月28日的访问中才提到朴龙河,没想到他两天后就离开人世。苏志燮当时说:“圈中好友并不多,最好的就是宋承宪和朴龙河了,还有现在合作的尹继尚,和朴龙河是那种不合作也每天都会抽空见面的朋友。”

朴龙河为何自杀?韩国媒体归纳四原因

  朴龙河的星路还算顺遂,如今却走上绝路,让大家都无法接受。对于自杀的原因,韩国媒体称,多名身边好友谨慎地表示:“现实生活中遇到了许多不顺心的事,原因比较多。”

  常吃安眠药?

  韩联社则报道,据一名演艺界人士透露:“我28日跟朴龙河打电话,但没发现他有什么异常。听说,他今天要为演出赶赴日本,真没想到会发生这种事。” 他还表示:“听说,他常常失眠,吃安眠药。但他是否患有抑郁症,不得而知。” 但据朴龙河的经纪公司表示,他没有忧郁症,平时也未发现异样。

  为病重父亲心烦?

  一名负责处理朴龙河日本活动事务的身边人士则表示,朴龙河自杀与“父亲病情恶化”有关。他说:“因为父亲被诊断为胃癌晚期,朴龙河在精神上感到非常痛苦。近来朴父已从医院搬回家,可能这样一起度过,让他感到更加难过。”此人还表示:“朴龙河原定到今年9月为止,在日本举行巡回演唱会。他刚刚结束首场演唱会回国还不到几天。朴龙河很为难,说‘父亲病得很严重,而应该尽到一家之主责任的我却总是不在家。’”

  女星宋允儿也表示,就她所知朴龙河没有忧郁倾向,如果说有,大概是心烦父亲的病。

  国内人气不比海外高?

  另一名身边人士则表示,与海外相比,朴龙河在韩国的人气总不是很高,因此他感到很有压力。此人表示:“几年前朴龙河曾打算离开大型策划公司,自己成立公司开展事业。但他只是在海外受到‘韩流’明星的礼遇,相比之下,国内的活动却不是很顺利,所以很难过。因此朴龙河曾接连出演电视剧《真爱On Air》(SBS电视台)、《男人故事》(KBS二台)和电影《作战》等国内作品,努力作了尝试。”但除了《真爱On Air》以外,其他作品并没有达到预期效果。

  经纪公司遇到麻烦?

  另有人士说,朴龙河身边都没有值得信任和依靠的人。他说:“大概在三四个月前,朴龙河就已和经纪公司总经理分道扬镳。据我所知,两人在朴龙河签约大型策划公司时就开始共事,后来因为财政原因分开。因为朴龙河一直在处理所有的实质性工作,目前经纪公司可能遇到很多麻烦。也因为这个原因,日本的活动也发生过一些问题。在当地发售朴龙河相关装饰品时还曾蒙受巨大损失。”

  英国太阳报报道,小甜甜里妮斯皮尔(Britney Spears)传出不爱穿衣服,怪异举动让保镖受不了,愤而辞职。
  29岁的费南多佛洛瑞斯曾是布里妮身边的首席保镖,他对朋友说,布里妮常常在他面前裸体走来走去,有时还会要他到她的卧房里,他因为害怕丢掉工作,都硬着头皮答应。不过上星期,他终于受不了辞职,还考虑提告。
  其友人说,为布里妮工作很辛苦,要搞定她就像是一场噩梦,且布里妮的脾气根本难以控制。“她会脱光在房子里跑来跑去,对着工作人员大吼。”日前布里妮也被拍到在离开好莱坞一家餐厅时没穿内裤,负责监管她的父亲杰米斯皮尔严厉要求所有保镖加强注意。
  费南多并非第一个声称布里妮举止怪异的人,3年前也有一名工作人员指出她不爱穿衣服,行动诡异,还闹上法院。 欢乐的圣诞假期却是小甜甜布里妮斯皮尔(Britney Spears)的梦魇!美国媒体爆料,两年前此时,她与前夫凯文费德林(Kevin Federline)短暂复合,不久后传怀孕,但对方坚称不是他的种,逼她堕胎。因此每到圣诞,布里妮都陷入忧郁,最近一度崩溃哭喊:“我害死我的小孩!”
  布里妮发现怀孕时,凯文不认账,直指她与别人乱搞;她为求息事宁人,只好堕胎,但最后凯文还是离她而去,她则精神崩溃送医。
  今年圣诞节,布里妮除了有家人与儿子陪伴,还多了经纪人男友杰森崔威克。而她被老爸保护管束快两年,最近向法官请求自由未获准,法官规定她得月付1万6000美元(约2万2500新元)请老爸再管她半年。
在几场演唱会火辣复出后,小甜甜布里妮斯皮尔(Britney Spears)重出歌坛的计划已经启动。最近她有感而发,在个人网页上透露离婚后的心情故事,表示和歌手凯文费德林(Kevin Federline)离婚真的让她打击很大,才会脱序,她形容自己跌到人生的谷底,而且迷失了。
  信的一开始,布里妮就写明这封信是她想对歌迷解释最近发生在她身上的许多事情。信中她透露,进勒戒所,自己真的跌到人生的谷底,但她并不认为是酒精或忧郁症,而是像个有注意缺陷障碍(ADD)的小孩到处跑,频繁地、不自觉地走神。她说,离婚对她打击很大,她发现自己对这段感情付出多少的爱和精力,当一切成空时,她一时间不知所措,也让她很难过,“我承认,我真的迷失了。”
小甜甜布里妮斯皮尔(Britney Spears)重出歌坛的计划已经启动。
  她说,这封信不是要抱怨任何人,即使现在得接受各种眼光。她提到历经跑Pub,参加各种饭局后,她让各式各样的人进入她的人生,“但你却从不知道那些人有没有什么企图,或想要什么,我想我就是太敞开心胸,却没发现答案近在眼前。”布里妮写道,她生命中最重要的就是两个儿子,20个月大的西恩普林斯顿和8个月大的杰登詹姆斯,她想让小孩跟自己一样,拥有在家看电影,无忧无虑唱歌跳舞的时光。
  写下这封信,布里妮说也许可以让人们看到不一样的她,就像当你要成为熟女,开始提出自己的感受和想法时,总会有些人要骂你,“因为他们比我还想掌控我的人生。”她说自己今年25岁,还有很多东西要学,也确定自己每天犯的错会上CNN或“早安美国”,但她只是凡人,“我爱还爱我的你们。”
  信的尾声布里妮写说,现在是6点25分,儿子们都在睡觉,“拥有他们真的让我感到很幸运,每天都好不真实。”她最后写说,“很不可思议每个人都对我有不同认知和想法,很不可思议她的事情是怎么被转述,有我的立场、你的立场和真相,总有人会理解,我想我们都无法完全了解人生,那是上帝的工作,我等不及要见到他……或她。”布里妮最后一句话,似乎又埋下伏笔。

谷歌要求美欧迫中国解除网络审查

互联网搜索引擎巨头谷歌称中国的互联网审查制度是贸易壁垒,要求美欧对华施压。
谷歌首席律师德拉蒙德表示,西方国家应以捍卫实物贸易的同等规则捍卫信息贸易自由。
德拉蒙德说,只有通过政府间的交涉才能迫使中国作出改变。
他说,中国的互联网审查制度不仅仅是人权问题,同时也被用于保证国际公司在中国市场处于劣势。
他说:“互联网业对西方非常重要应该是很显然的事情,因此我们应该努力保证这种贸易得到保护。”
德拉蒙德拒绝就美国是否该就中国的互联网审查制度向国际贸易组织提出投诉发表评论。
不过他表示,国际间可能需要就互联网业务提出新的贸易规范。
他指出,目前通用的贸易规则普遍认为其他国家的国内媒体市场应该受到保护,而这一现状应该改变。
退出中国
德拉蒙德透露,他将与欧盟官员以及美国、法国和德国政府官员就有关问题展开讨论。
德拉蒙德在今年1月披露谷歌电子邮件系统遭受来自中国的黑客袭击,并表达了谷歌对中国互联网审查制度的深切反感。
谷歌公司表示为了维护互联网自由不惜放弃中国市场。
谷歌已经在3月份关闭了其在中国大陆的搜索引擎服务器,并将搜索服务移至其香港的服务器。
谷歌同时停止按照北京政府的要求对搜索结果进行过滤。
但由于中国互联网的强大防火墙设置,网友仍然无法通过谷歌搜索敏感词汇。
据最新品牌价值榜单显示,搜索引擎巨头谷歌以1140亿美元的品牌价值,再次位居全球最具价值品牌百强之首。
全球市场研究公司华通明略发布的2010年全球最具价值品牌百强名单显示,谷歌的品牌价值比去年增长了14%。
美国技术巨头IBM紧随其后,品牌价值上升30%,达860亿美元;位居第三的苹果公司品牌价值上升32%,达830亿美元。
品牌价值的评比考虑因素包括客户忠诚度、客户对品牌的意见,以及有关意见对品牌收益的影响等。
微软公司以760亿美元的品牌价值名列第四,760亿美元的可口可乐名列第五。
七家中企入百强
这次进入百强的中国企业有七家,创历史新高,其中中国移动以526亿美元的品牌价值位居百强第八位。
中国移动排名较去年下降一位,但仍居中国品牌之首,亦是全球移动通信运营商之首。
百度的品牌价值去年一口气增长了62%,达到94亿美元,超过eBay、高盛、索尼等知名品牌,成为全球成长第二快的品牌,仅次于快速增长80%,品牌价值达113亿美元的韩国三星。
进入百强其它六家中国企业分别是:中国工商银行、中国银行、中国建设银行、中国石油、百度、中国招商银行。
全球最大广告集团WPP委托华通明略制作了本次调查。榜单显示,全球最具品牌价值的前100大企业,从金融危机中复苏的脚步最快,品牌总价值已经超过了2万亿美元,增长4%,高于2009年1.7%的增幅。
华通明略全球总裁坎贝尔说,“过去,许多公司面对危机都迅速地做出削减市场营销开支的决定。”
他说,在经济衰退之后,一个新的趋势开始显现,越来越多的公司意识到保持甚至增加维护消费者品牌忠诚度和品牌自身吸引力的预算非常重要。

什么是维特效应

“维特效应”指1774年德国大文豪歌德发表了一部小说,名叫《少年维特之烦恼》,该小说讲的是一个青年失恋而自杀的故事。小说发表后,造成极大的轰动,不但使歌德名声在欧洲大噪,而且在整个欧洲引发了模仿维特自杀的风潮,“维特效应”因此得名。 菲利普斯的理论叫做【维特效应】【WertherEffect】即自杀模仿现象。所谓「维特效应」指的是两百年前德国大文豪歌德发表了一部小说,名叫《少年维特之烦恼》,该小说有着异常强烈的时代精神,它所提出的问题带有时代的普遍启蒙意义。对于维特的精神和性格,诸位定将产生钦慕与爱怜;对于他的命运维特效应,诸位都不免一洒自己的同情泪。小说发表后,造成极大的轰动,不但使歌德名声在欧洲大噪,而且在整个欧洲引发了模仿维特自杀的风潮,为此,好几个国家将《少年维特之烦恼》列为禁书。“维特效应”,从社会心理学角度分析,就像情绪上的“流感”。媒体对自杀新闻的大肆渲染对于一些徘徊在生死边缘的人具有强大的暗示、诱导性。比较典型的例子是,2003年4月1日,张国荣自杀事件发生后,媒体的报道连篇累牍、大肆渲染。结果从当天深夜到第二天凌晨9小时内,全香港有6名男女跳楼自杀,其中5人不治,当月香港共有131宗自杀身亡个案,较3月份增加32%。有几名死者留下遗书,清楚写明其自杀与张国荣轻生有关。  在中国,每年约有25万人死于自杀,至少有100万人自杀未遂。自2000年以来,每年10万人中有22.2人自杀,每2分钟就有1人自杀、8人自杀未遂。可以说,如果每一起自杀都要报道的话,恐怕整张报纸都装不完。  实际上近年来中国人自杀的比例越来越大,这当然跟中国社会转型期急剧变化,人们承受的精神和物质压力越来越大有直接的关系,自杀行为的增加,也不能全部怪罪于媒体。但是正如笔者前面所说的,媒体的自杀新闻与自杀行为的增加确实有不可回避的关联。仅仅出于敬畏生命的人道主义考虑,媒体也应该主动进行反思并警醒。  社会可以关注自杀现象,但不应炒作自杀个案,或者把自杀“娱乐化”处理,而应该在报道中采访一些专家学者等,突出心理危机干预,从而启发公众对自杀背后社会问题的思考和讨论,避免类似事件再次发生
富士康是最近新闻媒体关注的热点,12连跳似乎也打破了某专家认为的没有超过全国自杀百分比一说。由于前段时间休假,虽然想写点什么,但是总是被搁置。也有很多人问我什么是“维特效应”?当然这也是由12连跳引来的众人的思考。“维特效应”是社会行为学中的一个名词,即自杀模仿现象。德国大文豪歌德小说《少年维特之烦恼》发表后,造成极大的轰动,不但使歌德名声在欧洲大噪,而且在整个欧洲引发了模仿维特自杀的风潮。研究人员发现,对轰动性的自杀事件报道,在报道所涵盖的地区,紧接著自杀率就会有大幅度上升,而且宣传越是广泛,随后的自杀者就越多。因此得出结论:一些内心痛苦的人,看到别人自杀身亡消息后,就启发了自杀念头,效仿了自杀者。这里面贯穿着一个社会认同原理,内心痛苦的人看到其他内心痛苦的人采取了自杀的形式,他也就认同了这种消除痛苦的手段。据统计,每次轰动性自杀新闻报道后的两个月内,自杀的平均人数比平时多了五十八个。因此从某种意义上来说,每一次对自杀事件的报道,都杀死了五十八个本来可以继续活下去的人。例如,在媒体报道了玛丽莲梦露的自杀新闻之后,那一年全世界的自杀率是增长了10%。另外,08年韩国影星崔真实的自杀也引起了不少影迷的效仿。在我国,自杀从众心理最为典型的案例就是2003年4月1日张国荣自杀引起的一系列自杀事件。从张国荣自杀的当天深夜到第二天凌晨,短短的9个小时内,全香港有6人跳楼自杀,而当月,香港共有131起自杀死亡事件,比以往月份增涨了1/3。其中,有死者还在遗书中明确表示了自己的选择跟张国荣有关。当然,引发富士康员工连续跳楼事件并不能简单归结为任何一个单一原因上,因为自杀本身就是一个复杂的社会现象,从来都不是单一因素所导致的。我们应该从员工心理健康水平、企业管理、企业文化等诸多方面考虑。作为心理医生,我也呼吁大家多关注周围人的不正常言行和举动。自杀行为并不是如人们想象,产生自杀的念头以后就会立即实施自杀行为。反而,往往需要经历一段时间的心理过程才有行为表现。并且,自杀并不是单纯一件事情就可以引发的,而是多方面助长自杀的因素累积到了一定的程度,最终由一个压力或者创伤让自杀者启动了自杀计划。作为朋友同事,我们可以多留意周围人的反常举动,例如无缘由地突然打电话给父母,告诉他们“无论发生什么事,你们都要好好活下去”,就应该即刻领悟到这很可能是一个有自杀意图的人发出的求救信号。对这些信号的足够重视,可能会及时挽救一条生命。另外,自杀的心理过程通常要经历四个阶段,即自杀念头或自杀动机的形成阶段、矛盾冲突阶段、平静和准备自杀阶段,以及实施自杀行为阶段。其中,在矛盾冲突阶段,自杀意图的表露是显性的;到了平静和准备自杀阶段,就转入隐性状态。在显性阶段,即使是非专业人员,也很容易对有自杀意图者进行鉴别。这样员工互助的方式对于一个几十万人的企业来说,更加可行。

贪婪的触手:深析中国房市(全文)

(转)又一鲜为人知的“消失门”!有良心的大学生顶起!为了我们的未来!为了中国!为了南开大学那个死去的王雨辰!管理员有良心你就别封!    为什么这几个月来房价始终在大幅上涨,我们却再也听不到相关消息了?为什么我们都知道有人在炒房而且这将谋杀我们的终身幸福却始终没人能制止这一现象?为什么南开大学的王雨辰会莫名消失?这个王雨辰又是谁?他究竟做了什么?    这些真相,你值得去了解。         2010年6月5日,在微博写下的“应邀与房市大亨座谈,理性总是好的”只言片语,没想到成为王雨辰在人间留下的最后告别。    王雨辰是南开大学07级一名和我们一样的普通大学生,兼修国际政治和国际金融双学位。于09年发表论文《贪婪的触手:深析中国房市》因深度揭析了房地产过热与我国一些资本运转的内部问题震撼当时的中国金融界,美籍华人学者郎咸平曾评论他为“金融界少有的敢说真话的人”。不想却因其作品讲了真话,触犯到某些个别人的利益,多次收到恐吓和威胁,要求其立刻停止公开发表一切金融评论。但他对这种嚣张的置若罔闻,却于2010年6月5日晚,神秘消失,至今再无下落。         我们要对我们的祖国有信心    在南开大学,认识王雨辰的人不在少数,他谦虚的性格,乐观的精神,对学术严谨的态度,被广大南开学子所接受。但由于他的论文大多涉及非常深入的专业领域知识,他现在虽已是国际金融界业内的知名学者,但在咱们普通大众的知名度并不甚高,这也给个别不法集团试图除掉他减小了舆论压力。袁teng飞为什么没有被直接除掉?因为袁有名望在,轻举妄动的话会面临很高的舆论压力。但王雨辰不同,咱们都不知道他,所以才让个别集团如此的明目张胆,将他迫害。    他在发表自己的各篇论文后,引起了业内的极大争议。有良心的金融学者见到终于有人敢于揭露他们一直不敢言说的真理,都纷纷表示支持,但另一派,掌控着权势的贪婪资本家却看到自己在房市的运作被批剥得淋漓尽致,不禁就产生了除掉王雨辰的想法。    每当被问及,收到恐吓信和威胁电话的感受时,王雨辰总会笑着说:“都什么年代了,哪还能出这种事?我们要对我们的祖国有信心。”    然而,就是这样一位说着“我们要对我们的祖国有信心”的青年大学生,却在前不久收到有关部门的通知,禁止他在未来5年内继续公开发表任何涉及国际政治和国际金融的言论。明眼人都看得出来,这是大资本、金融巨头对他做的封口令。         王雨辰是在用他的生命为我们80后、90后的生活换来最后一点幸福的希望    每次被问及,以后的理想是什么的时候,王雨辰总会说:“就像苏轼一样,去个地方当一辈子清官,为当地百姓谋得些许福利,一辈子也就知足了。”    我们80后、90后为什么买不起房?谁都知道,是因为背后有金融巨头为代表的炒房团在通过玩弄房价谋取高额利益。但老百姓没房子住,以后的生计都是问题。指望谁来救我们?某人大代表都公开说了:“老百姓有老百姓的活法,当官有当官的活法。。。”看来我们这悲惨的一代人是注定要成为他们玩弄房价的受害者,做一辈子资本的奴隶了。    但为什么我们都知道炒房团在炒房将给老百姓带超负荷的生活、生存压力,但这一病态的现象却无论国家怎样打压始终不见效果?    因为这背后有资本异常雄厚的炒房团在操作整个社会经济效果。他们甚至嚣张得声称:房价如果下跌,整个中国经济也将崩盘。这样明目张胆地叫嚣绑架中国经济,不可一世。    王雨辰每次说起咱们80后、90后面临被房市绑架他都很痛心,他说自己苦学金融知识就是为了能真正做点有良心的事。他先后发表的《贪婪的触手:深析中国房市》、《放手房价:中国经济的软着陆》等论文,具体披露了房地产巨头想要绑架中国经济谋取暴利的事实,并依靠他所学的国际金融架构了一套具体可行的使中国经济脱离房市,在未来5年内使房价回归正常、稳定的方案雏形。此论文一出,整个中国经济一片哗然,因为他给中国看来是逐渐必定走上被房市绑架这条死路的中国经济提供了新的希望。    但也正因为如此,他也得罪了中国大部分房地产巨头。在收到他们的恐吓威胁后,王雨辰曾在他的某个讲座上公开表示:“我不怕这些威胁。第一,因为我对我的祖国有信心。第二,因为我在做的事是为中国的年轻人谋取幸福,我在做一件正义的事,没有人可以把我怎么样。    但他太天真了。就在2010年6月5日,他收到了某房地产巨头(为生命安全着想不便透露)的邀请一起去参加一场“座谈”,临走时他还在微博上写下“应邀与房市大亨座谈,理性总是好的”,他还对对方的理性和公正抱有信心。不想,就此一去不回。    王雨辰现在在哪,怎么样,谁也不知道,他的家里人都要急疯了,整个南开大学认识他的同学也收到通知,不得声张此事。出了那所大学,谁也不知道这个人、这件事。一个为了80后、90后、为了你我未来幸福、为了咱们整个中国经济未来而敢于牺牲自我的人突然消失了。我们难道不应该为他做些什么么!    但我们能做些什么?    我们什么也不能。    只能等着过几天某不知名当地报纸的角落写下一条新闻:某地发现一无名尸,警方正在调查,仅此而已。。。。。。    王雨辰为了我们做了那么多!但我们却让他就这样白白死去。。。如果我们这样做,他的死还值得么?    分享或转载这篇文章,让更多人了解真相,只有这样中国才能进步。去给王雨辰留个言,让他看到这世上还有那么多人理解他、支持着他。。。。。。如果他还能活着回来的话。。。

纪亚文与陈乔恩内衣广告被指很色情,有图有真相

经典模特>纪亚文与陈乔恩内衣广告被指很色情,有图有真相
纪亚文陈乔恩的内衣广告中饰演陈乔恩男友的模特儿纪亚文,看起来温柔体贴,不过私底下的他,其实是个网球教练,还曾经靠著打网球赚奖学金当学费,另外也自己投资夜店当股东,不仅在广告中形象多变,现实生活中也拥有多样的身分。 中美混血的纪亚文入行不到2年,先后和林熙蕾、吴澹如拍广告。纪亚文化身男仆,在广告中单膝跪地替吴澹如奉鞋;之前和蕾蕾拍内衣广告,坦言2人没对到戏:“我们是分开拍的,根本没看到她穿内衣的样子!”不过他却在现场撞见替身拍胸部特写,爆蕾蕾内衣广告用的是“假胸部”。 上大学后,每逢暑假他都会在俱乐部打工,他拥有国际网球教练的执照,靠教网球赚钱,学生不下千人,从4岁到60岁都有,他笑说:“我时薪收100元美金 (约3200元台币),光1个暑假就可以赚到4万元美金(约130万元台币)。”不过他对表演更加感兴趣,去年从纽约州立大学经济系毕业后回台,便透过表姊介绍签进现在的经纪公司。 陈乔恩为内衣代言再度“撩落去”,在新一季的广告中,陈乔恩敞开白色外套,穿着性感小短裤,与饰演男友的纪亚文嬉戏,纪亚文从背后搂抱着陈乔恩,互动好像在调情,两人还大玩追逐游戏。
