It's not a dog's life for Ollie the Weimaraner who thinks he's a human|史上最自我的狗?威瑪犬Ollie過著人類般的生活!



When Ollie the Weimaraner realised the dog's life was not for him, he ditched the soggy food and uncomfortable baskets for ice cream and his owners' bed. 

Now the two-year-old dog lives the life of a human, taking showers and sleeping beside his owners Mel Stokes, 39, and Eliot Alexander, 38, at their home in Forest Hall, North Tyneside. 
The pet also enjoys a bowl of Sugar Puffs and will indulge in a cup of tea for breakfast.

大家都聽過「狗狗是人類最好的朋友」這句經典名言,不過據說狗跟人類生活久了,整個行為都會越來越人類化!
這隻2歲大,名叫 Ollie 的威瑪獵犬大概就是最佳映證。Ollie 與主人們 Mel Stokes 和 Eliot Alexander夫婦同住在英國北泰恩賽德的Forest Hall,牠似乎不認為自己是條狗,反而過著像是人類一樣的生活,不愛狗食、討厭睡狗窩的牠,平常最喜歡冰淇淋和霸佔主人的床位。更妙的是,Ollie和典型的英國人一樣,早餐一定得來杯英國茶配上甜麥片。

Why you should NEVER keep your mobile in your bedroom|改善睡眠品質:手機別放臥房內!



























The next time you can't sleep, your brain whirring over shopping lists, tomorrow's meetings and whether or not you locked the back door, the solution could be simple - move your mobile phone off the bedside table and out of your bedroom altogether.

Eight out of ten of us keep our mobiles on overnight according to Ofcom, and around half use our phone as an alarm clock, a survey found. But experts are concerned about the effect this is having - at the very least it makes us 'hypervigilant' so our sleep is more likely to be disturbed and we end up not getting enough of the restorative sleep we need. But it might also trigger insomnia and other sleeping problems.

翻來覆去,徹夜難眠,腦袋卻還在思考明天早上要上菜市場的採購清單、公司的會議、門窗到底鎖了沒、瓦斯關了沒…等生活瑣事而無法順利成眠時,不妨做一個簡單的動作:將您的手機拿離床頭,最好讓它遠離臥房。

根據英國通訊管理局(Ofcom)的調查顯示,百分之八十的民眾晚上睡覺手機都不關機,一半以上的人更直接把手機當鬧鐘來使用。專家們擔心這樣的習慣,會帶來一些負面的影響,他們發現手機會讓我們『過度警覺』,這很可能會干擾我們的睡眠,使我們不能得到充分的休息,間接導致不眠症以及其他睡眠問題。

A REAL Barbie girl! Prototype doll of the average 19-year-old American | 真實版芭比,19歲女孩身材應該是這樣!



A crowdfunding campaign launched today in a bid to get an 'average-looking' doll to market. Artist Nickolay Lamm, 24, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, created a prototype of a plastic figurine last summer based on government measurements of an average 19-year-old American woman. 

Now, in a bid to turn his idea into a reality he is appealing for funds via his website Lammily.com. In less than 24 hours, he has already raised more than $28,000 towards his $95,000 goal.

His aim is to produce 5,000 'Lammily' dolls ready to ship out in November 2014. Each model features average proportions of a typical 19-year-old girl (32-31-33), a light amount of make-up, and bendy joints. If the dolls are a success, he plans to extend the range to 'embrace diversity, from race to body type.' 


「芭比娃娃」一直是女孩們最喜愛的玩具之一,但有不少女孩為了擁有芭比夢幻般的身材,減肥減過頭,對身心健康皆有負面的影響。於是美國一名24歲藝術家 Nickolay Lamm 就根據政府公佈19歲女孩的平均身形,製作「現實版芭比娃娃」,並發起募款活動準備量產,藉此宣揚對身材的正確觀念。
