晒太阳

晒了三天的太阳了。第一天，晚上起夜只起了一次，平时总是两次，比平时少了一次。所以也每太在意。睡眠质量也和没赛太阳的日子一样， 不错。
第二天，也就是昨天，又晒了35分钟的太阳。结果晚上一次也没起夜，从十一点一直睡到六点三十，睡得更死， 更深。真是不比不知道。

前两天晒太阳，只是坐在院子里晒，今天到外面走了40分钟。一举两得，既晒了太阳，又做了锻炼。网上有医生建议，在太阳下走路效果更好。才晒了两天，效果就出来了。

看来今天晚上一定又能睡个美容觉。

平甩功

台湾一外科大夫许达夫得了直肠癌，癌体比苹果还大，他的好朋友，也是他的主刀医生，叫他赶快动手术。许医生做了三个月的平甩功以后，癌体缩小了，几乎看不见了，于是他决定不做手术。现在一年多过去了，他的癌症没有再复发。真是神奇。
Youtube 上可以看到他做平甩功的视频。

中华字经的学习十月二十一开始

Chinese character classics is an amazing learning material for anyone who wishes to learn Chinese.  The material contains 4000 characters and each character occurs in the material only once. Every four characters form a sentence and every eight characters produce a rhyme. Such a format makes it easy for young kids to mimic and memorize. Testimonials from parents indicate that kids as young as 2 can quickly associate the meaning and shape of those characters.

Some sites claim that finishing learning these 4000 character material takes 162 hours and learner's reading ability of materials written in Chinese will increase by 15-20 folds.

On Oct. 20, I showed students a video clip showing a 2 year old reading character classics and they were hooked.  They all raised their hands wanting to start the materials.  On Oct. 21, I started lesson 1 astronomy with them.
