The “Anywhere Door”   CNA

In the stories of Japanese animation “Doraemon,” the robotic cat has all kinds of amazing gadgets in his pocket. Japan’s TV Asahi Corporation recently conducted a survey on which gadgets were the most popular among adults and children. The “Anywhere Door” — a door that leads to anywhere the user wants to go — was the most popular gadget in both categories, because it makes it easier for them to go to work or school.

Children’s favorite props also included a “Time Machine” that allows you to travel freely through time and space, and the “Bamboo-copter,” a helicopter hat that allows you to fly. Adults’ favorites included the “What-If Phone Booth,” which makes your wishes come true when you make a call from it, and “Memory Toast,” which helps you memorize what is printed on the bread after eating it.

Netizens said the children’s choices show they are free and unrestrained, while the adults’ choices suggest their desire to extricate themselves from their current circumstances.

How to Be Caring       wikihow.com

Being caring allows you to have empathy for others and to live a life based on affection, love, and compassion for the people around you. It can be tempting to fall into a life of selfishness and to focus only on your own goals and desires, but your days will be far more rewarding if you think about what the people in your life are thinking and feeling. Being caring means providing a listening ear, noticing when someone needs help, and helping your community without asking for a reward.

Do favors for people.

Caring people spend time doing favors for people and helping them out when they need it. This doesn't mean you have to become someone's errand boy, but it does mean that you should make an effort to help people out.

  Be sensitive to the feelings of others.

    If you want to have a more caring perspective, then you have to spend more time thinking about how other people are feeling. Be on the lookout to see how the people around you are reacting to a given situation, or just how they're feeling when they walk in the door. People who are caring are attuned to the moods of others and can tell when someone is feeling down or upset, and take measures to do something about it. The next time you are around other people, whether you're in class or hanging out with friends, pay attention to how they are feeling in a given situation.

      

    Appreciate the people in your life.

    If you want to be a more caring person, then you have to appreciate the people in your life as much as you can. Be thankful and grateful for your family members, your friends, your significant other, or any of the people who make your life more meaningful and positive. Don't focus on the things that you're missing or the rude comments you have to deal with sometimes, and think about all of the joy and happiness that people bring to your life instead. This will not only put you in a better frame of mind, but it will make it easier for you to care about the people around you more.

        In order to really appreciate the people in your life, you have to thank them as much as you can. Thank them for helping you out during a hard time, for doing you favors, or just for being amazing. Let them know that their presence really does matter in your life.

    

  Push away feelings of selfishness.

    Though it's hard to decide to stop being completely selfish one day, anyone can work on being less selfish in his or her daily interactions and everyday life. If you want to be less selfish, then you have to spend more time thinking about how others are feeling instead of always worrying about me, me, me. The next time you have an interaction with someone, focus on how the person is feeling and what he's been up to instead of talking about yourself or only thinking about your own needs. The more aware you are about not being selfish, the easier it will be to truly care for others.

How to be a caring person?    

How to help others without expecting a reward?

How to do favors for people?

Is being selfish always a bad thing?

How to appreciate the people in your life?

How to be sensitive to the feelings of others.

Here's What You Need to Know About Internet Trolling         lifewire   by Elise Moreau

If you have a strong social presence online, or if you at least consider yourself to be pretty active in online communities, you may have experienced what many savvy Internet users call “being trolled.” It might sound funny, but truth be told, internet trolling can get pretty nasty and isn't always a laughing matter.

Being trolled, or the act of trolling, is something we all have to deal with increasingly as the Internet becomes more social.

What Does It Really Mean to Go'Trolling' Online?

Wikipedia defines it as:

"Someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as a forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.”

Those who aren’t quite familiar with the Internet slang definition of “troll” or “trolling” might automatically think of the mythical creature from Scandinavian folklore. The mythological troll is known to be an ugly, dirty, angry creature that lives in dark places, like caves or underneath bridges, waiting to snatch up anything that passed by for a quick meal.

In some ways, the mythological troll is similar to the internet troll. The internet troll hides behind his computer screen, and actively goes out of his way to cause trouble on the Internet. Like the mythological troll, the internet troll is angry and disruptive in every possible – often for no real reason at all.

Where the Worst Trolling Happens

You can find trolls lurking around almost every corner of the social web. Here are some specific places that are well known to attract trolls.

YouTube video comments: YouTube is notorious for having some of the worst comments of all time. Some people even say “it’s the trailer park of the Internet.” Go and have a look through the comments of any popular video, and you’re bound to find some of the worst comments ever. The more views and comments a video has, the more troll comments it’ll probably have as well.

Do you know what is internet trolling?

How to deal with negative people?

Habits That Will Make You Smarter   inc.com

Hang out with people who are smarter than you. Smart people have interesting things to talk about. They know how to expand their mind and feed their brain, so spending time with them is good for you on multiple levels. Seek them out at work, in service organizations, and socially.

Remember that every expert was once a beginner. When you have an opportunity to learn something new, you become smarter. Make a point of continuously and consistently acquiring new skills, because life will never stop teaching if you're willing to learn.

Exercise your body. As you're caring for your mind don't neglect your body. Build discipline in doing what you need to do in terms of diet, exercise, and sleep.

Come up with new ideas daily. Carry a journal to jot down ideas when they come to you. Push yourself to be creative and to think in new ways. Review your ideas weekly and edit them as you go.

Do something that scares you. Facing your fears makes you braver, smarter, and better able to withstand what life throws at you. Sometimes the greatest rewards in life come from doing the things that scare you the most.

Replace TV with online learning. Devote your break time to something more productive than social media or binge watching TV. The internet is filled with awesome learning tools. It's a small habit but a big win if you can nourish your brain and advance your career and life at the same time.

Be mindful of what you are absorbing. Everything you take part in is either uplifting or detrimental to your mind. It's important to silence inner and outer negativity--once you do, you begin to play a role in shaping your mindsets and beliefs, which in turn guide your actions.

Share what you know. Learning something new is important, but sharing that knowledge makes what you've learned actionable and meaningful.

Apply your new knowledge. There really is no point in learning something if it doesn't make you smarter or inspire you to improve. The smartest people apply what they know not to become a person of success but rather to become a person of value.

Keep a journal. It turns out that journaling is an important way to become smarter. Taking a few minutes each day to reflect in writing has been shown to boost your brain power. Smart happens when you learn from your experiences.

Be selective. Intelligent people tend to have fewer friends than the average person--at least in part because the smarter you are, the more selective you become. Who you spend time with reflects who you are.

What are the habits that will make you smarter?

How to learn something new?

How to face your fears makes you braver?

送花打動女人心

Flowers ARE the way to a woman's heart... but men don't have to buy them to reap the rewards (Mail online)

Researchers in France discovered that women were far more likely to give a young man their phone number if approached outside a florists as opposed to a patisserie or shoe shop.

Romance: Flowers really are the way to a girl's heart according to experts

Five dashing chaps were recruited by the University of South Brittany to approach women aged between 18 and 25 in the street and try to obtain their numbers.

So not to involve variations in chat-up techniques, the men were instructed to simply say their name, tell the woman she was very pretty and ask for her phone number so they could go for a drink later.

Of the 600 women asked, 144 - just under a quarter - gave their numbers if asked outside a florists.

However just one in seven women agreed to a date when asked outside a bakery and when asked outside a shoe shop the number fell to one in 10.

Publishing their findings in the Journal Of Social Psychology, the researchers wrote: Flowers reflect our emotions and moods.

'They often convey feelings of compassion, regret, merriment or even romance.

'The results confirm the effect of exposure to flowers on receptivity to romantic request.'

The study backs up findings from a similar experiment conducted by researchers at the same university earlier this year.

This involved 46 female student volunteers who were asked to sit in a room on their own and watch a video of a man talking about himself.

Study: Researchers in France discovered that women were far more likely to give a young man their phone number if approached outside a florists as opposed to a patisserie or shoe shop

Half the students watched the video in a room brightened up with three vases of flowers – a mix of roses, daisies and marigolds. The rest sat in an identical room without flowers.

When women had watched the video in the room decorated with pots of flowers, they rated the man as more attractive and were more willing to go on a date with him.

4 Secrets to a Long Life (Reader's Digest)

It’s almost impossible to pull off a study like this: follow people from childhood to old age, tracking their habits and personalities to see which are best for health over the long haul. Almost impossible, but not quite. The Longevity Project, by psychologists Howard S. Friedman, PhD, and Leslie R. Martin, PhD, distills life-extending advice from a study that began in 1921 and followed 1,500 boys and girls for as long as eight decades. “The best way to see why some people thrive in old age while others die early is to follow individuals for their whole lives,” Friedman says. The results poked holes in many long-held beliefs. Here, Friedman shares the study’s biggest surprises—and most useful advice.

Flash doesn’t last. “The key personality predictor of a long life was one that we never expected: conscientiousness. It wasn’t always the cheerful kids who went on to have the longest lives—it was the ones who did their homework, whose parents would say, ‘She has a good head on her shoulders.’ They developed healthy patterns and maintained them. People who weren’t dependable as kids but became more responsible as adults did well, too.”

Happiness is a result, not a cause. “It’s well-established that happy people are healthier. People assume that happiness leads them to be healthier, but we didn’t find that. Having a job you feel engaged in; a good education; a good, stable relationship; being involved with other people—those things cause health and happiness.”

Stress isn’t so bad. “You’re always hearing about the dangers of stress, but the people who were the most involved and dedicated to accomplishing things—they stayed healthiest and lived longest. It’s not good if you’re overwhelmed by stress, but the people who thrived were the ones who didn’t try to relax or retire early but who took on challenges and were persistent.”

Run with the right crowd. “To make yourself healthier, the best thing you can do is to think about the kinds of people you spend time with. If you’re involved with the kind of people who help other people, you get more dependable yourself—you have a reason to get up in the morning, so you’re not out drinking late at night. One of the secrets of longevity is to join social groups and choose hobbies or jobs that lead you naturally to healthier patterns and activities. That’s a gradual but effective way to change yourself.”

Questions:

1. How to live 100 years ? Ways to live longer?

2. Ways to live a healthy lifestyle?

3. What are habits to help us live longer?

4. Do you want to live longer?

5. Is the idea that move to the countryside, live longer?

送花打動女人心

(http://www.hi.chinanews.com)

給女人送花是全世界男人都會的求愛方法，因此這一度被認為“太俗”“沒創意”。 不過發表在英國《社會心理學》雜誌上的一篇報導指出，無論時代如何改變，鮮花依然是打動女人芳心的最有效方式。

法國南布列塔尼大學的心理學家進行了這項研究，他們讓男性分別在不同的地點與多名女性搭訕。 結果發現，站在花店門口的男性，更容易獲得女性電話號碼和約會機會；其次是在麵包店和商場附近的男子；排在最後的是車站和鞋店外的男子。 研究者分析，鮮花綻放的場所會讓女性感覺更加浪漫。

在另一項調查中，男性分別用不同方法對不同女性展開追求。 包括每天送花、每天打電話發短信、去接她上下班、請她吃飯等。 結果發現，收到鮮花的女性最先接受了男性的求愛並確立了戀愛關係。 心理學專家湯姆·布坎南博士說，花與浪漫聯繫在一起，當女人看到鮮花時，思考、說話或行為都開始以一種浪漫的方式進行，她們的心會變得更加柔軟多情，願意接受男性的愛意。

百歲人瑞 談長壽之道【聯合報╱記者邱瓊玉】

高齡107歲的人瑞林黃玉珍平日飲食隨性，她說快樂就是自己長壽的秘訣。

多名人瑞分享自己的長壽秘訣。

107歲林黃玉珍／閒不下來 就愛社交

民國前六年出生的林黃玉珍，高齡107歲，是大同區最高齡的百歲人瑞。

她是廈門鼓浪嶼人，22歲嫁到台灣，跟丈夫定居在大同區。原來跟著丈夫經營洋服生意，後來經商失敗，她開始外出工作，包括地下錢莊出納、跑過精品雜貨單幫，醫院出納等都做過。

她雖然長壽，卻沒有特別嚴謹的養生方法。孫女林湘文說，她不但照吃可樂、漢堡等速食，對酒也來者不拒。

林黃玉珍行動敏捷，起身走路完全不用人攙扶。她的個性活潑，每天早上都會從家裡步行到教會，和教友聚會讀經。回家休息一會後，嫌在家無聊，又再出去找朋友串門子。個性獨立的她，雖與孫子同住，但平時洗衣、擦地都自己來。

105歲高林絨／一生務農 簡單飲食

105歲的人瑞高林絨，身體相當健康，至今只用過一次健保卡。

文山區105歲人瑞高林絨，身體健康，至今只用過一次健保卡。她從年輕開始務農，習慣吃自己種的菜、醃的醬瓜，三餐都吃稀飯配菜，從來不吃零食，養生之道在於「清淡飲食」。

她早年和先生務農維生。70多歲退休後，仍在住家空地種菜，天天出門健行，往返路程約3公里。

孫子高銀明說，阿嬤常吃空心菜、A菜、芥菜等，尤其喜愛地瓜和地瓜葉，「她覺得非常營養」。阿嬤沒什麼特殊嗜好，平時就是看看電視，晚上9點就上床，天剛亮就起床，生活非常規律。

一直到現在，高林絨只有用過一次健保卡，去年走路意外跌倒，才去看醫生「開卡」。現在沒有其他慢性病，凡事不請別人代勞，能自己做就自己做，高齡105歲，還是堅持自己吃飯，也能自己上廁所。

102歲黃體雄、汪永春／天天健身 規律生活

住信義區高齡102歲的黃體雄、汪永春，兩人均表示，只要每天保持飲食清淡、睡眠正常、身心愉快以及良好的運動習慣，就是長壽的不二法門。

黃體雄在媳婦照顧下，耳聰目明，身體硬朗。黃體雄說，他每天都會到家中附近的公園跳健身操。他強調，排泄正常、睡眠好，就是長壽的秘訣。

黃體雄說，每天上下午跳健身操約半小時，包括甩手、擴胸、彎腰等基本動作。

同樣是102歲的汪永春是軍人退伍，早年隨部隊駐營，目前與長子一家人住在一起四代同堂。每逢家族聚餐，因子孫太多，至少得開5桌才能容納全部成員。

汪永春表示，身體還很硬朗，可自行上下樓梯，平日生活規律，飲食清淡，汪永春說，家人就是他長壽的最大秘方。

101歲曹仲植／行善助人 快樂之本

101歲的人瑞曹仲植，養生之道除「多行善」，還有規律作息、多運動。

民國元年出生的曹仲植，今年101歲，養生之道就是「多行善」，看到被幫助者開心，自己也覺得心情很好。

住士林天玉里的曹仲植，年輕時開貿易行進口奶粉，是事業有成的商人，1969年加入扶輪社後，便一直積極行善。不僅協助偏鄉學校、給予獎助學金外，1990年至今，更捐贈超過54萬輛輪椅，幫助行動不便的身障者。

曹仲植秘書張元芳表示，曹仲植是一個很節儉的人，三餐吃得和年輕人差不多，不過特別愛吃魚。平常有運動的習慣，百歲生日前常打高爾夫球，百歲生日後則是靠著爬山、散步，活動筋骨。

Live Streaming – The Good, The Bad & The Ugly       securingtomorrow

Listen up parents: live streaming is the latest trend that you need to get your heads around. Not only are there privacy issues that you need to understand so you can keep your kids safe but live streaming may just explain why your Internet usage is spiraling upwards!

To ensure we’re are all up to speed, I am going to start at the very beginning.

Streaming is when video footage or audio is watched (or listened to) online without having to download the entire file first. There is no file to download, just a continuous stream of data. Good examples are Internet radio and television broadcasts.

Now there are two types of streaming – on demand streaming and live streaming. On demand streaming is when the user chooses to watch content that has previously been recorded, for example Catchup TV and YouTube videos. Live streaming is different – footage is shared online as it happens – just like live TV.

Live streaming apps have been around for about 10 years with platforms such as Google Hangouts On Air and Twitch but it wasn’t until the launch of Meerkat and then Periscope this year that live streaming really gained mainstream traction. Meerkat and Periscope are both mobile apps that enable users to live stream (or share footage) over Twitter.

Clearly there are some huge benefits to live streaming. Large companies can live stream events to customers and staff, universities can live stream lectures, churches can ensure their parishioners get their weekly sermon and citizen journalists (with Twitter accounts) are even more empowered. But there is a darker side to live streaming and it’s all about privacy.

A quick five minutes on Meerkat and I have viewed a Swedish kitchen, moments of a Christian conference in Sydney, a suburban road in London with residents in full flight and someone’s holiday. All interesting if you are a people watcher, but each stream was full of unwilling subjects blissfully unaware their image was being streamed across the Internet. Strike one for live streaming.

Strike two – geo tagging. While being able to hone in on location specific footage can be amazing for information in a crisis or for a market read, it can also be devastating for the uploader. Periscope can even pinpoint the street from which a user is streaming. I don’t need to spell out what this could mean if there was a jilted ex-lover or disgruntled parent without access involved. Users need to actively turn off their location sharing services to prevent this information being available.

Online harassment and bullying – call me a Negative Nellie but yes, this is happening on Meerkat and Periscope – strike three. Whilst both platforms say shared content is verified and checked, I am aware of too many cases of inappropriate behaviour of both abuse and bullying. Meerkat and Periscope also both prohibit ‘pornographic or overtly sexual content’ as well as ‘explicitly graphic content’ but I can tell you that it exists. Periscope says that if such footage is reported it will be taken down but clearly they can’t keep up with the high volume of content!

Q:

Does live streaming good or bad?

Your opinion about live streaming?

What do you think about the internet celebrities?

Do you want to be an internet celebrity?

Do you follow the latest trend?

Do you want to share your privacy on line?

What are the mobile apps you think is convenient for you?

單身獨居增多

As more singles live alone, businesses cater to their needs

(CNA)

A new variant of papaya produced by Yang Chien-te (楊乾德), a farmer in Gaoshu Township in Pingtung County, is about half the weight of the current ones on the market, and is sold for about NT$80 (US$2.65), suitable for a person to eat during breakfast. It has been welcomed by local consumers.

Recipe books for people living alone have meanwhile become popular mainly among women aged 30 and up, and especially for women in the 40-44 age group, according to Books.com.tw (博客來), Taiwan's largest online bookstore.

Travel books for solo travel are also selling well and some 80 percent of its buyers are women, it said. As a case in point, Chinese translations of picture books by Japanese woman author Naoko Takagi, who has published some 30 books on living alone since 2003, have been popular in the past decade.

Single people, however, admit there are inconveniences and awkward moments.

A 30-year-old public servant, surnamed Wang, who rents an apartment with her elder sister in Taipei, said she and her sister both dine out since they have different work shifts.

Wang said finding someone to have dinner with is not easy, because married coworkers have to go home and unmarried ones might have a date or other arrangements. So "single friendly restaurants are a salvation" for us unmarried people, she said.

Chang Hua-chen (張華宸), a barbecue restaurant owner, said his motivation to open his single friendly eatery was due to his own experience of being discriminated against in a lamb and goat barbecue restaurant.

He never thought his restaurant would become popular among singles, but now nearly 40 percent of all customers are singletons, Chang said.

Business owners have meanwhile noticed single people have different consumption habits.

Shen Yu-wei (沈佑威), a spicy hotpot restaurant owner, said single customers normally spend 50 minutes in a meal, while two customers might spend an hour and a half.

Shen said despite not taking as much time eating, single customers interestingly spend on average more than customers in a group.

"About 30 percent of our monthly revenue, which is nearly NT$1 million, comes from single customers," he said.
