蔡蘭茵1969年從台灣移居美國,32年不中斷!90歲台裔阿嬤穿高跟鞋與裙子騎150英里



92歲的蔡阿嬤騎車有兩件必備裝備:高跟鞋和短裙洋裝。
當記者問到原因時,她回答:「我一直都是這樣騎車的啊。」她認為「你的身體動不了是由於你決定如此。當人們在騎車的時候一定會發現自己的身體變得更好了。」

日本國民保險金制度

// 日本為了準備迎接極度老化的人口,十多年前進行一個很大膽也很有遠見的改革,就是推出國民保險金的制度,四十歲以上開始供款,然後到六、七十歲以後,由個案經理審批應該配對什麼安老的服務,根據個人財政狀況再決定政府應該付多少。這制度一出台,一夜間一個千億養老安老商業市場激活了,各行各業起動創意,看看如何分一杯羹,十多年後的今天,便發展成百花齊放、朝氣勃勃的市場和產業鏈。
所以有朋友參觀日本安老院舍時,總慨歎為何用香港一般私院院舍的價錢,可以在日本享受養和醫院般的空間和生活質素?我記得日本電視台朋友來香港採訪鑽的,拍攝我們帶長者免費參加鑽的休娛夜遊活動,編導只帶了一盒有十二塊的曲奇餅送禮,但後來發現院舍有一百二十人,她感到很驚訝和尶尬 .... //

2016年探索加州葡萄酒年度品酒會 the 2016 Discover California Wines Annual Tasting,

我職責的一大好處就是能參加像加州餐酒協會所舉辦的2016年探索加州葡萄酒年度品酒會的活動。加州是美國生產葡萄酒最多的州,我今天品嚐了他們最棒的一些紅酒與白酒,也學到很多和葡萄酒有關的學問。我喝了黑皮諾、卡本內蘇維翁、梅洛、金粉黛、和夏多內,即使我不是很懂葡萄酒,也覺得非常享受。希望各位也能品嚐這些優質的美國產品。乾杯! --- 梅健華 #FromAITDirector
One of the fun perks of my job is getting to go to events like the 2016 Discover California Wines Annual Tasting, which is hosted by the California Wine Institute. I had the chance today to sample excellent red and white wines from America’s biggest wine producing state and learned a great deal about the complexities of wine. I tasted Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel, and Chardonnay. It was a treat – even for someone like me who is not an expert on wine. I urge you to taste some of these fine U.S. products. Gan Bei!...km

Life expectancy rises 10 years across globe, but more suffer in old age

“Development drives, but does not determine health... we see countries that have improved far faster than can be explained by income, education or fertility. And we also continue to see countries – including the United States – that are far less healthy than they should be given their resources.”

As Aids and malaria deaths drop, 70% of deaths are now caused by diseases that often have lifestyle origins, study finds

【無人知曉的死亡】

"各位親朋好友丶先進前輩:

今晚10/04(二)十點,公視紀錄觀點「無人知曉的死亡」,小妹翻譯的。請多指教。

身為日漸疏離的社會人,是否應該關心一下?就算不為了別人,也為了自己。"




他一個人孤零零的死去,長達兩年半的時間,屍體腐爛到只剩下骨頭….他有過家庭,醫院有病歷,社福單位也有他的資料,他怎麼可能就被世人所遺忘呢?台灣也越來越多獨居老人的新聞,#是催繳帳單發現他們的死亡,是惡臭,甚至被發現時被自己養的狗吃了,#獨居是否就註定要孤獨死去,究竟是疏離社會還是行政僵化造成的? 每個人彷彿只是檔案上名字,而不是一個”人”來對待…
★【無人知曉的死亡】 #孤獨死 #獨居 #冷漠 #高齡社會 #制度
>> 有!網路直播:www.pts.org.tw/ptslive/live/
◇ 週二(10/4)晚間10點,紀錄觀點,公視13頻道/mod⋯⋯

Running a marathon at 90, children in old age. Perhaps some will take long breaks between careers and party wildly
