现在的诈骗,连饼都不用画了

 以前的诈骗术,要不就是用利诱的方式许诺赚大钱,把人骗来之后,再用暴力进行人身控制,洗脑、榨干钱财。要不就是短期的杀猪盘,说自己有门路能够发大财,诱使受骗者把钱都交出来,钱能生钱。

而现在的这种方式,更进化了,他们连饼都不用画了。直接就说:

你花钱吧,给我钱吧。你给的钱越多,能量流动越好。

至于钱从哪里来,不重要,只要能量流动起来,自然就一切就好起来了,不愁没钱。


学霸猫·霍格沃茨凡学贵妇分校

2021年7月,“学霸猫”把社群改名为“学霸猫·霍格沃茨凡学贵妇分校”。她的教学理念就是:清理对金钱的恐惧,大笔金钱流动才能打开自己的能量。

最近“学霸猫”的社群,就已有数千人了,如果算上往期人数,那就更多了。七成以上都是女性。这些人,不工作,只进行高消费。没钱就开信用卡、各个平台借贷。她们怎么还债呢?除了不断拆西墙补东墙,最后靠父母、丈夫、男友,再还不了呢?不敢想象了。

“学霸猫”毕业于浙江一所985大学,微博置顶“贵妇分校”的更名启示,每天显示自己的吃吃喝喝,倒也看不出来“贵妇”的样子。

Drive and Hike Mt. Baker Scenic Byway

Here is the link.

From Bellingham to the majestic peak of Mt. BakerMt. Baker Scenic Byway (SR 542) offers visitors a step back in time. The highway winds through farmlands, rolling wooded hills, and small communities including Nugents Corner, Deming, Kendall, Maple Falls and Glacier. This byway provides access to stunning hiking, photo opportunities, and snow sports in the winter.

Chain Lakes Loop

 Here is the article. 

Route Description for Chain Lakes Loop

Chain Lakes Loop can be accessed via three parking areas, the two most popular being Heather Meadows Visitor Center and Artist Point. Because the trail can be hiked in either direction, hikers are presented with plenty of options before setting out. We suggest starting at Heather Meadows Visitor Center and hiking the trail clockwise.

From Heather Meadows Visitor Center, walk 0.2 km east along the road to the signed Wild Goose Trail. Head south along the trail, climbing the steep steps. As you ascend you can admire the views of Mount Baker Highway, Bagley Lakes, and Mount Shuksan.

At 1.3 km the trail crosses the highway before entering the Artist Point parking lot. Cross the parking area, picking up the trail again at the northwest corner of the parking lot.

The Chain Lakes Loop trail takes off west for a leisurely 1.6 km from Artist Point. Cutting across a talus slope, the trail is rocky and completely exposed to the elements. Turn around for unobstructed views of Mount Shuksan. As you continue along, Mount Baker gets closer and closer.

At 3.4 km, turn right at the signed intersection with the Ptarmigan Ridge trail. The Chain Lakes Loop trail climbs over the shoulder of Table Mountain. Excellent views of Mount Baker appear to the southwest. Reach the first of the Chain Lakes, Mazama Lake, at 4.5 km. Then continue along to Iceberg Lake (named for the chunks of ice sometimes found floating in its waters). This is followed by Hayes Lake at 5.5 km. Several side trails lead down to the lake’s shores, and backcountry camping is allowed in designated areas.

From Hayes Lake, begin climbing toward Herman’s Saddle. The trail gains about 183 m of elevation here before topping out at 1,646 m. From the top of the saddle, look southwest to see Mount Baker over Iceberg Lake. To the east, Mount Shuksan rises high with Bagley Lakes shimmering far below.

Descend 335 m to Bagley Lakes before crossing an old stone bridge and climbing the steps back to Heather Meadows Visitor Center.

Hiking Trail Highlights

Chain Lakes

Located in some of Washington State’s most beautiful scenery, the Chain Lakes are the ideal destination for a stunning day hike. This series of lakes are connected by small creeks, creating a beautiful aquatic network through the mountains. The first of the Chain Lakes are the Mazama Lakes, two small lakes set against a lush forest background.

A short distance away, and linked by a small creek, Iceberg Lake is probably the prettiest of the Chain Lakes, with large chunks of ice dotting its beautiful turquoise waters. On the other side of the Iceberg Lake, you’ll catch a glimpse of Hayes Lake and Arbuthnot Lake, before looping back to Bagley Lakes, all connected via Bagley Creek. This waterway provides some fabulous views on the Chain Lakes Loop hike, as the lakes perfectly reflect the gorgeous peaks and forests in their still waters.

Mount Shuksan

The name of Mount Shuksan derives from the Lummi word meaning ‘high peak’, and this magnificent mountain towers over the North Cascades National Park, standing in the tall shadow of Mount Baker. With its glaciated peak and distinctive three-sided peak known as Summit Pyramid, Mount Shuksan is one of the most popular (and frequently photographed) peaks in the Cascades Range.

One of the most popular views of Mount Shuksan is from Picture Lake, in the Mount Baker Ski Area. Here you’ll have a fantastic vista of the iconic mountain, perfectly reflected in the shimmering waters of the lake. The glaciers that crown its peak also feed a number of tall cascades, including the 665 m Sulphide Creek Falls, making this one of the most picturesque mountains in the Mount Baker and North Cascades region.

Insider Hints for Chain Lakes Loop

  • For an easier out-and-back hike, begin at Artist Point and follow the trail 3.9 km to Hayes Lake. Turn around here for a 7.7 km roundtrip hike with 229 m of elevation gain (avoiding the climb up Wild Goose Trail and Herman’s Saddle).
  • Stop at North Fork Brewery on the way back to Bellingham for fresh pints and exceptional pizza.
  • You can also continue to the end of the road to begin your hike from Artist Point.

Getting to the Chain Lakes Loop Trailhead

To get to the Chain Lakes Loop trailhead from Glacier, drive 35.4 km east on Mount Baker Highway to the parking lot signed for Austin Pass Picnic Area (Heather Meadows Visitor Center) between mileposts 55 and 56. A Northwest Forest Pass is required for this hike.

Costco | 美各大零售商闭店潮 Costco毫发无损

 美国零售联合会(National Retail Federation)最近的一项调查显示,库存缩减或未计入的库存损失,在2022年给美国零售商造成的损失估计为1,120亿美元,约占其总销售额的1.6%。由于高达70%的损失是由盗窃造成的,这意味着零售商去年因商店扒手损失了大约784亿美元。该行业正面临着“前所未有”的犯罪威胁,店主们担心他们的生计和安全。


加兰蒂告诉《每日邮报》,Costco最新的库存缩减率“处于较低的两位数基点”,介于“0.1%到0.2%”之间,比行业平均水平低约10倍。我们的收缩率一直处于历史低位。随着时间的推移,我们会变得越来越好。

加兰蒂将这种成功归因于多方面因素,但强调了只有付费会员才能进入Costco的仓储式零售店。他说,“当你进入我们的门店时,你必须出示带照片的证件,只有会员才能进入我们的门店,这是一个积极的因素。”

另一方面,大多数Costco门店的统一布局也在小偷和贵重库存之间设置了物理屏障。加兰蒂说,我们一直只有一条进出通道,还会在门口检查收据。在一份总结其2022财年的报告中,Costco指出,通过严格控制出入口和采用会员制,它能够将库存损失维持在远低于典型零售业务的水平。

此外,Costco还出售批量商品,这使得小件的商品很难“被偷偷带出去”。加兰蒂说,“很多物品都是体积较大的,而对于那些体积较小、价值较大的物品,其包装会大得多。比如吉列剃须刀片等产品,它们会采用超大的扁平包装。”

据了解,Costco的会员每年必须支付60美元到120美元的会员费。自2017年以来,这些费用一直保持不变,这笔钱占其收益的大部分,使得Costco能够以极具竞争力的价格和相对较低的利润率销售产品,从而保持较高的客户满意度。

中国巨大的房地产泡沫

 部分原因在于中国许多城市在过去两年里对住房价格实施了严格的管控,以保持房价稳定。可现在,中国开始放松这些限制规定,而后果难以预料。


根据之前在数十个城市实施的规定,地方政府通常禁止新房开发商对未售出房源提供10%至15%甚至更多的折扣。

在一些城市,官员们还规定了二手房售价的下限。

最近几周在官媒上出现了一些文章,认为现在可能是放弃此类政策的时候了,一些城市的确开始放松相关政策。

改变现状

 有位B站博主说过:“一个落魄的人要改变现状,最缺的是赚取金钱的方法和心态,而不是金钱。只要方法和心态有了,金钱自然有。”


最理智的做法,就是退掉所有微信群,拒绝所有无效社交,也不要去做杂工,更不要进厂。

你可以先找一个陌生而简单的地方住下来。但最好不要跟亲人和朋友住在一起,因为不管多亲近都好,很少有人愿意跟落魄的人走得太近,这是人性的客观规律。

然后你先啥都不要做,心态放轻松,就思考一个问题:如何让自己变得更值钱?

第一方向就是“打破认知”。如果要摆脱困境,我们就要清醒地知道,我们有必要做什么,和没有必要做什么,这就是认知。一个非常通透的洞察,和一个清晰的思路,这是高效成事的基础,我们从阅读入手,去突破认知。

第二个方向就是“培养习惯”。细心地建设好一个“培育好习惯的系统”,因为好习惯,是我们以后打翻身仗的关键,好习惯能够让我们的行为更加地有效,而不是做出一大堆无效的多余的动作。

第三个方向就是“训练本领”。你要去问自己有没有一种能够解决他人问题的能力。找到这种能力,结合你的兴趣爱好,把它像宝剑一样磨出来。你可以通过网络学习或者书籍,来筛选出一个适合你的好方法,一边试错,一边操作。

胆固醇5.72

 http://club.xywy.com/static/20140412/39643236.htm


问题分析:你好,胆固醇5.72也不是很高,期它血脂如果都不是很高,就可以暂时不用服药,通过食物来控制就可以了,
意见建议:建议少吃一些含胆固醇高的,脂肪高的,比如;动物内脏,肥肉等多吃蔬菜水果是可以的,鱼类是可以吃的,多喝水,总的来说要饮食清淡

问题分析:您好,根据您的描述,胆固醇检查结果5.72的话,只是稍微偏高,正常胆固醇结果是不超过5.6。轻度偏高的话,一般暂时不需要药物治疗,可以通过饮食调节一下。
意见建议:建议您一定要减少吃大鱼大肉,特别是动物内脏之类的食物,同时不吃高脂高蛋白食物,多喝水,多运动,多吃水果和蔬菜,过些天再去医院复查一下看看,谢谢。

问题分析:病情分析:血脂是指血浆中的脂蛋白,其中胆固醇与动脉粥样硬化关系密切,动脉粥样硬化又与冠心病有直些关系。所以防止高脂血症对预防冠心病有重要意义。特别是胆固醇升高危害大。目前降低血脂主要有以下方法 1药物使用,常用的药物有洛伐他丁 脂必妥等主要降低胆固醇 2注意饮食 应低盐低脂低糖饮食,
意见建议:请根据患者想要得到的帮助,提供合理化指导意见,答3适当锻炼有利于降低血脂。只要注意这几点血脂水平会降低到正常状态

一般都知道,脂类物质主要分为两大类。脂肪(主要是甘油三酯)是人体内含量最多的脂类,是体内的一种主要能量来源;另一类叫类脂,是生物膜的基本成分,约占体重的5%,除包括磷脂、糖脂外,还有很重要的一种叫胆固醇(cholesterol)。
  胆固醇又分为高密度胆固醇和低密度胆固醇两种,前者对心血管有保护作用,通常称之为“好胆固醇”,后者偏高,冠心病的危险性就会增加,通常称之为“坏胆固醇”。血液中胆固醇含量每单位在140~199毫克之间,是比较正常的胆固醇水平。
  胆固醇是由甾体部分和一条长的侧链组成。人体中胆固醇的总量大约占体重的0.2%,骨质约含10毫克,骨骼肌约含100毫克,内脏多在150~250毫克之间,肝脏和皮肤含量稍高,约为300毫克。脑和神经组织中含量最高,每100克组织约含2克,其总量约占全身总量的l/4。

问题分析:你好; 总胆固醇 和甘油三酯 等偏高,容易导致动脉硬化出现高血压 或者是冠心病等疾病的
意见建议:胆固醇高 和血脂高,是可以选择低盐低脂低胆固醇,饮食多吃新鲜的蔬菜和水果等食物的, 药物是可以选择辛伐他汀片治疗的

病情分析: 胆固醇升高不一定会得高血压,但冠心病的风险会增加.轻度的升高,控制饮食,适度运动就可以了.
意见建议:中度以上的升高,要用他汀类调脂药,如辛伐他汀,阿托伐他汀,血脂康.

指导意见:胆固醇高总的来说是这样的,一是吃清淡饮食,二是要多运动,三是服用降血脂的药物,四是降低体重!,

病情分析: 根据你的描述,考虑是高血脂,症状多表现为:头晕、神疲乏力、失眠健忘、肢体麻木、胸闷、心悸等
意见建议:应调整饮食、改善生活方式,限制高脂肪食品,多吃含纤维素多的蔬菜。限制甜食,加强体力活动和体育锻炼,戒烟,少饮酒,避免过度紧张。药物可以使用洛伐他汀,辛伐他汀等。

总胆固醇数值在5.72是正常的指标,所以这个不严重不要紧。胆固醇的正常值在2.9~6.0mmol/L之间。日常就要注意自己调节好饮食,尽量的不要过度肥腻,如果是暴饮暴食,不注意运动锻炼,都有可能会造成胆固醇偏高,导致高脂血症。控制好饮食的同时,注意适当运动。

总胆固醇在5.72这个范围,基本考虑还是有血脂增高的情况出现,但是增高的程度并不是很严重,如果机体没有其他的异常情况,是可以控制饮食来进行对症处理的,一般在确定病变性质后,建议营养清淡的饮食,不建议吃一些高血脂的食物,也需要在饭后进行适当的运动来促进机体的代谢。

人大生化检查:发现总胆固醇偏高,为5.72?,低密度胆固醇也偏高,为3.78

你好,你检查的结果是胆固醇,低密度胆固醇等增高,这个说明你血脂代谢异常,应该日常控制饮食不要吃高蛋白食物,应该及时运动,这个结果还暂时不需要吃药,另外应该每年查体,如果平常喝酒应该及时戒酒,其他不要担心。

你的血脂偏高,控制饮食,不要吃油腻的食物,炒菜少放油,不要吃花生、瓜子,可以慢跑等运动,适量服用降脂药物。

胆固醇高总的来说是这样的,一是吃清淡饮食,二是要多运动,三是服用降血脂的药物,四是降低体重!
