Dubai Lilypad Floating City

Architectural Concept: Lilypad Floating City
Water CityBy now, most of us have heard about the Island Cities being built in Dubai , but Inhabitat has just done a feature on a new concept by artist Vincent Callebaut for a self-sufficient floating city that will never have to face a problem about finding land to build on. The "Lilypad" would take advantage of all of today's green technologies, including generating power from the sun, wind and water, and would produce zero emissions from its residents. Don't expect to see construction on one of these anytime soon, but don't be surprised if, like the Island Cities in Dubai , real estate starts branching out into the oceans in the next decade.

三個半分鐘,三個半小時。

科學家經常強調一句話:「人要注意三個半分鐘,三個半小時。

很多人白天好好的,但晚上死了有人說,昨天我還見過他,怎麼就死了呢?
原因是,他夜晚下床上廁所太快了,突然一起床,
一下子血壓低了,腦缺血心臟停跳了。

科學家就提出了三個半分鐘:
1. 醒過來不要馬上起床,在床上躺半分鐘
2. 坐起來後又坐半分鐘
3. 兩條腿垂在床沿又等半分鐘

經過這三個半分鐘,不花一分錢,腦不會缺血,心臟不會驟停,減少了很多不必要的瘁死(突然死亡),不必要的心肌梗塞,不必要的腦中風。


三個半小時,就是 :
1.早上起來運動半個小時,打打太極拳、跑跑步,但不超過三公里,或者進行其他運動,但要因人而異,運動需適量。

2.中午睡半小時,這是人生物鐘需要,中午睡上半小時,下午上班,精力特別充沛。老年人更需要補充睡眠。因晚上老人睡得早,起得早,中午非常需要休息。

3.晚上6至7時 慢步行走半小時,可減少心肌梗塞,高血壓發病率
