Over the course of his entire life, Matthew Castillo has lost 3,000 pounds. At one point, he lost 165 pounds, then gained it back, lost 100, gained it back, and then lost another 80. “Every year, I’d do good, and then I go back up (in weight),” Castillo tells TODAY.com. It was a lifelong cycle…
[The content of this article has been produced by our advertising partner.] We’ve never lived more interconnected lives — or felt more divided. Separated by belief, culture, and access, we turn inward to master our own fields in the hope of cutting a predictable path forward. Reality, though, is filled with surprises, and we can’t…
Listen to the birdsongs of Lantau HONG KONG (AP) — They perch gently on concrete ledges. They nestle into peeling stucco. Occasionally, they soar across a stone house’s rooftop. A flock has landed in Wang Tong Village, a peaceful corner of Lantau Island on Hong Kong’s southwestern edge. But this flock is unlike others: Its…

I had the joy of growing up in the Glen of Aherlow, a childhood shaped by a soft kind of freedom, long days spent roaming fields and boreens in a place that felt sheltered from the wider world, rich in local lore and small discoveries, where wandering without purpose was a pursuit in itself. It…

有讀者說，上了小學三年級的孩子，受朋輩影響，開始說粗言穢語，感到很苦惱。 有些家長會激動斥責，嚴厲禁止；有些不知如何應對，視而不見。有些則查根究柢，不斷追問：誰教你說粗口？為甚麼你這樣說？你有甚麼情緒問題？你認為別人會有甚麼感受？ 「孩子說粗口怎麼辦？」 我的做法跟別人不同，可能有些家長不能接受。我覺得「愈是禁忌就愈好奇」，所以當孩子在外邊學了粗口，我不會驚惶失措，還會詳細解釋它們代表甚麼意思。 「粵語粗口的內容有限，除了希望別人在街上跌倒、對方全家人死亡之外，其他大部分，均是關於男女生殖器官，以及性行為。」不僅如此，我還會主動告訴她們，各種同音字、近音字、拆字、英文字母、明喻、隱喻等變奏。明白了背後含義，滿足了的好奇心，孩子就不會大驚小怪。 「如果同學中有人說粗口，怎麼辦？」 女孩子最好就扮聽不到。如果不能聽不到，亦毋須給予反應。可以冷靜地嘴角微微上揚，介乎懂與不懂之間的一種曖昧態度，讓人捉摸不透。 男孩子呢？有女士和長輩的場合不能說，公共場合不能說。如果是非常熟悉的同輩好友聚會，大家說句粗口是友善增加氣氛，那也未必不能有限度地加入。不過小心別說得太頻繁，否則容易養成習慣。 「如果別人用粗口攻擊你，應該怎樣反應呢？」 粗口是弱者才用的。強者會用實力去碾壓對方，例如：金錢、權勢、學歷、外貌、人脈、知識、口才；又或者在武俠小說中，高手直接用武力打爆對方的頭，根本不需要講粗口。因此，培養和展示實力最重要，粗口就留給弱者用來自我慰藉吧！ Source link

BEIJING — From ancient times until today, an enormous population has been a foundational way for China to project its strength. But anxiety about managing so many mouths has always loomed. “China has a population of 600 million people, and we must never forget this fact,” Mao Zedong said in 1957, shortly before setting off…
