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⋯⋯

The science of slowing old age is rapidly advancing.

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

What happens to a society that manages to reverse the effects of ageing?

「患癌是最好死法」引發爭議






著名學術刊物《英國醫學雜誌》前主編表示患癌癥 (sic 症) 是“最好的死法”引起爭議。他認為,在生命結束之前能有機會反思人生非常重要。他敦促慈善組織和醫學界“不要再浪費幾十億英鎊的資金試圖治愈癌癥”。
