Lighthouses 燈塔

Lighthouses
A lighthouse guides sailors to a safe harbor.
The Bible guides my daily life.*

燈塔
燈塔是水手的導航燈
聖經是我每日照明燈*

*"Your words are a flashlight to light the path ahead of me, and keep me from stumbling." (Psalms 119:105)
*「祢的話是引導我腳步的燈, 是我人生路上的亮光。」(詩篇119章105節)

Roof Repair 翻修厝頂

Our roofer, Mr Grover and his work crews, came to fix wind damaged storage roof. We also asked them to put on new side panels. We do our part and hope Mr. Wind will leave us alone for a while.

高先生率工人來修理被強風吹壞的屋頂, 同時也在外壁貼上一層新板。但願風霪先生能手下留情讓我們過幾天清心的日子。

Alzheimer Study 失智症研究

Aging with Grace (Bantam Books, 2001) tells the story of Dr. David Snowdon and his relationship with the Nun Study participants.

The Nun Study is a longitudinal study of aging and Alzheimer's disease funded by the National Institute on Aging and directed by Dr. David Snowdon, Professor of Neurology at the University of Kentucky's College of Medicine. Participants are 678 American members of the School Sisters of Notre Dame religious congregation who are 75 to 106 years of age.

Over 85 percent of these participants were teachers. Participants in the Nun Study include women representing a wide range of function and health, from sisters in their 90s who are highly functional with full-time jobs to sisters in their 70s who are severely disabled, unable to communicate, and bed-bound. The goal of the Nun Study is to determine the causes and prevention of Alzheimer's disease,http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif other brain diseases, and the mental and physical disability associated with old age.

Each of the Study’s participants have agreed to participate in annual assessments of their cognitive and physical function, medical exams, blood drawing for genetic and nutritional studies, and brain donation at death for neuropathologic studies. The Nun Study represents the largest brain donor population in the world. In addition, the sisters have given investigators full access to their convent and medical records.

World Economics 全球經濟學

This is an ad run by the Citizens Against Government Waste. It does not represent my stand. Yet, I think that we, the Americans or Asian Americans, need to pay more attention to the Chinese Communist Government. Soon we will all work for the Chinese communist dictator.

這是公民反對政府浪費資源團體的電視廣告, 該言論並不代表我的立場。但是, 值得我們尤其是台美人深思, 不久中國將會成爲全球霸主, 而到處反中將取代反美抗議潮了。但願在美的漢裔不被波及。

Surviving Earthquake 地震求生

Earthquakes: Drop, Cover, and Hold On!
DROP down onto your hands and knees (before the earthquakes knocks you down). This position protects you from falling but allows you to still move if necessary.
COVER your head and neck (and your entire body if possible) under a sturdy table or desk. If there is no shelter nearby, only then should you get down near an interior wall (or next to low-lying furniture that won't fall on you), and cover your head and neck with your arms and hands.
HOLD ON to your shelter (or to your head and neck) until the shaking stops. Be prepared to move with your shelter if the shaking shifts it around.

美國聯邦救難總署(FEMA)建議: 地震發生數秒鐘之間求生謹記: 就近「蹲下來」、「掩護」、和「穩住」三口訣。至於「生命三角」求生法, 不是最好的方法。

Awakening Cicadas 睡醒的蟬

Emergence of the 13-year cicadas
This spring and early summer could be buzzing with the activities of the 13-year periodical cicadas in many South Carolina upstate counties. The last emergence of the 13-year cicada was in 1998 and since that time, the nymphs have been happily feeding underground on plant roots with their piercing-sucking mouthpieces.
Cicadas do not bite or sting and they are not toxic or poisonous; there is nothing to be worried about if one lands on you or if your dog or cat eats them. They will vibrate their wings and buzz loudly if they are handled by you or a pet. Only the males sing and this only occurs during the day. If you hear singing at night, it is probably crickets, katydids, or frogs. (Read more)
