Proper hydration is essential to prevent UTIs, kidney stones, and overall urological discomfort during the colder months. New Delhi: Dehydration is common when winter sets in the country. The cold and dry winter months tend to impact the…
A South Florida woman thought she was doing everything right to stay healthy when her heart suddenly began to fail. At 39 years old, Migdalia Rodriguez needed a transplant to survive. “Never in a million years did I think being healthy, fit, eating healthy, just living a healthy lifestyle would lead to something this aggressive?”…

忘不了青海的四種顏色：藍色天空，綠色一望無際的大草原，一點點黑色點綴，那是氂牛在成群地自由自在吃草；還有白瑩瑩的雪山。 我享受着乾爽的天氣、撲面而來的草香；從雪山融下來的水淙淙流過，溪水滋養着草地上各種顏色的小花：生命，此刻在此定鏡。 在這種環境下，人的思想沉澱出難得的清明，輕易與大自然一起共存和呼吸，這是一個很奇妙的感覺。 人生就如水般淙淙流逝，我們都是過客。努力生活的人類，其實每一天都在奔向死亡。 那天，扎文師父指給我看在結古鎮山峰上的白塔，告訴我那邊就是天葬場。那刻我忽然感到死亡，原來是如此接近，我和在上邊的屍體，構造沒有分別。 我很想知道，究竟要如何豁達，會說出「死亡是多麼的幸運」。又或者，對於玉樹地震時的死亡枕籍，會怎樣安慰失去父母及親人的哀痛？ 人們引以為豪的長壽，又或不少人傾家蕩產地尋找醫治或長生不老的秘方，死亡，無論是自己或身邊的人，難道不會有一絲的懼怕或難過？ 禿鷹群在半山盤旋，烽煙台點起了獻祭的香火，那是司葬者燃起的桑煙，把禿鷹引來啄食。喇嘛搖起手鈴，鈴聲在山谷中迴蕩。 這裏，家人不能上天葬台參與最後一程，也不能回頭看——那是一條不歸路。 Source link

《鬼滅》能安排此時在中國內地公映算小小意外，不過票房確是大旺，短短幾天就接近四億人民幣，衝破十億沒問題。 業界的傳聞就是，算是幫一下戲院業界了，去到年底，還望有《阿凡達》新一集可再撈一把，或可勉強把年度總票房由現在的四百五十多億推過五百億。 但這五百億也得來有些意外，當中一百五十億是靠《哪吒2》而來，單天保至尊，其餘能過三十億的只得《唐探1900》和《南京照相館》兩部，真不肯定以後每年是否都能有這類爆款，而更多其他的電影表現則不似預期。 行內人語，若沒有超一百億的爆款把總體數字拉高，往後的票房，可能就只維持在四百多億的規模。反觀之前一直關注的微短劇市場卻不斷開發擴大，只是流行了數年，現在每年收入規模已超過五百億，而且正向增長中。 微短劇經濟興起下，也有了新的「豎店影視基地」說法，意思是過往拍電影，出名的是去橫店拍，有齊各種布景、拍攝組及群眾演員等。那新興的專門拍微短劇的城市，就戲稱為「豎店城市」，著名的竪店城市有西安和鄭州，既是種新興的經濟動力，也順道推廣城市形象。以製作量和規模已站第二位並增長最快的鄭州而言，從業員超三萬人，製作公司八百多間，年產量近一千部，兩年內要向每年產業價值一百億元進發，爭做微短劇之都。 鄭州崛起有多個原因，地理位置在全中國中心，人力及資源成本便宜，有大量的樓宇和開發區被轉型為影視基地，當中高層大廈內改做成高級辦公室總部（不要忘記最受歡迎劇種是霸道總裁）、醫院、課室、酒店、餐廳，拍古裝的話，就在河南當然方便找到各種少林資源，也可說是另類城市產業轉型。 Source link
