But refined food is bad for your waistline

Waistlines are widening everywhere. The percentage of adults who are overweight or obese has swelled from 29% in 1980 to 37% in 2013, according to a new study. People in virtually all nations got larger, with the biggest expansions seen in Africa, the Middle East and New Zealand and Australia.

《中英對照讀新聞》Big bum and thighs are healthy 大臀與粗腿是健康的
◎國際新聞中心
Carrying extra weight on your hips, bum and thighs is good for your health, protecting against heart and metabolic problems, UK experts have said.
英國專家表示，臀部與大腿比較胖，可以預防心臟與代謝問題，有利你的健康。
Hip fat mops up harmful fatty acids and contains an anti-inflammatory agent that stops arteries clogging, they say. Big behinds are preferable to extra fat around the waistline, which gives no such protection, the Oxford team said.
專家說，臀部的脂肪會抹去有害的脂肪酸，還含有阻止動脈堵塞的抗發炎劑。牛津團隊說，大屁股比腰圍有多餘脂肪來得好，粗腰不會提供這樣的保護。
Science could look to deliberately increase hip fat, they told the International Journal of Obesity. And in the future, doctors might prescribe ways to redistribute body fat to the hips to protect against cardiovascular and metabolic diseases such as diabetes.
他們告訴國際肥胖期刊，科學可以研究刻意增加臀部脂肪，未來醫師或許可以指定療法，把脂肪重新分散到臀部上，來避免糖尿病等心血管與代謝疾病。
The researchers said having too little fat around the hips can lead to serious metabolic problems, as occurs in Cushing’s syndrome.
研究人員說，臀部脂肪太少可能導致嚴重的代謝問題，就像庫欣氏症的情況一樣。
Evidence shows that fat around the thighs and backside is harder to shift than fat around the waist. Although this may sound undesirable, it is actually beneficial because when fat is broken down quickly it releases a lot of cytokines which trigger inflammation in the body, say experts. These cytokines have been linked to cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance and diabetes.
證據顯示，大腿周邊以及臀部的脂肪，比腰部的脂肪難轉移，專家說，雖然這種脂肪可能不受歡迎，不過它其實是有好處的，因為脂肪迅速分解時，會釋放很多促使身體發炎的細胞介素，這些細胞介素會引起心血管疾病、胰島素抗性與糖尿病。

新聞辭典 mop up：動詞片語，把某樣東西用完。例句：Buying clothes for the kids usually mops up any spare money I have at the end of the month.（為小孩買衣服通常會把我月底剩的錢花光。）clog：動詞，阻塞。例句：Eating too much fat causes your arteries to clog（up）.（吃太多脂肪會讓動脈阻塞。）

 behind：名詞，指屁股，前文的bum也是同樣意思。例句：Why don’t you get off your behind and do something!（你為什麼不移開屁股，做點事情！）
hip股関節（こかんせつ）は寛骨臼と大腿骨頭よりなる球関節（関節部分が球形（股関節の他に肩関節））であり、荷重関節（体重などがかかる関節 （他に膝関節など））である。大腿骨頭は半球を上回る球形で、寛骨臼は深く大腿骨頭を収納するように形成されている。また、大腿骨頭が容易に脱脱臼できな い仕組みになっている。━━ n. しり; 腰; 股(こ)関節.

misrecite, Mumpsimus, Malapropism, stubbornly continued using the incorrect form

 

Our Oxford Word of the Week from the English Faculty, University of Oxford’s Prof Simon Horobin:

Mumpsimus - Someone who sticks to their opinion even when it's been shown to be wrong.

Etymology. Malapropism of Latin sumpsimus, form of sūmō (“I take”), from a story of an old monk who misrecited the Eucharist with quod in ōre mumpsimus instead of quod in ōre sumpsimus “which we have taken into the mouth”, and stubbornly continued using the incorrect form even after being corrected.

mumpsimus - Wiktionary

Zapping Bugs With the Wave of a Racket
By DAMON DARLIN
Zapping mosquitoes with an electrified tennis racket might seem to be a surefire entrant into the World's Dumbest Ideas Hall of Fame. But the Stinger Portable Bug Zapper actually works.



Behind a copse of dark green conifers, bees buzz lazily over neat rows of shiny tea bushes soaking up the summer sun. A list of rules pinned to a board instructs tea-pickers not to keep long fingernails or to powder their faces; smoking is banned. Instead of pesticides, bug-zappers protect the crop from leafhoppers and other tea-loving pests.在一片墨绿色的 针叶林背后，一排排整齐的茶树丛闪闪发亮，沐浴在夏日的阳光下，蜜蜂嗡嗡作响，懒洋洋地在枝头盘绕。一块板子上写着一系列规定，要求采茶者 不得蓄长指甲，不得在脸上搽粉；严禁吸烟。这里不使用杀虫剂，而是电子灭虫器来保护茶树免受叶蝉及其它嗜茶叶害虫的侵害。

December 21, 2011 -- 3:00 p.m. EST TECHNOLOGY How the iPhone Zapped Carriers

Americans are glued to their mobile devices. So why is the U.S. wireless industry in such straits? A big reason is that carriers are losing power to the device and software makers riding the smartphone boom.

Perhaps the most commonly used term submitted is "embuggerance", euphemistically employed by the author Terry Pratchett to describe his feelings about the onset of Alzheimer's disease.
According to research so far, the term is thought to have been coined by a Ministry of Defence official during the Falklands War to describe his frustrations.
More baffling to the uninitiated, a "doobly" is a word for a television remote controller - one of several submitted by families, suggesting that the fate of that missing remote is one of the major talking points of modern family life.
Other words for the device collected so far include a "podger", the rhyming term "melly", a "boggler" and the more common "zapper".
