Bathroom shelfies popular

千禧1代晒洗漱架化妆品


First it was bookshelves, and then fridges - and now, beauty addicts have been showing off their cosmetics with their bathroom #shelfies.
先是晒书架,之后晒冰箱,如今,美妆爱好者又掀起了晒卫生间洗漱架化妆品的风潮。


Beauty fans have been sharing photographs of their perfectly arranged - and often color coordinated - shelves full of envy-inducing products. These include products by cult brands such as The Ordinary, Diptque and Glossier, leading to a scramble for the latest must-have items. 
爱好者在网上分享洗漱架的照片,这些洗漱架塞满了各种让人艳羡的化妆品,摆放得毫无瑕疵,通常就连外包装的颜色也很搭。这些化妆品中有The Ordinary、迪普泰克和Glossier等流行品牌,引发了人们对时下必备化妆品的追捧。


Experts say millennials are shaking up the beauty industry with their bathroom "shelfies", explaining how it's now "almost essential" that beauty brands are Insta-friendly.
专家表示,千禧一代正通过卫生间洗漱架晒照"洗牌"美妆产业。他们还解释说,美妆品牌需要Ins友好,这在当下"非常关键"。


Exercise imperative in space 

研究:太空游客更需锻炼


According to a new research published in The Journal of Physiology, inactivity spurred from being in a low-oxygen habitat may lead to health problems, including heart, respiratory, skeletal and nervous system issues.
一项发表在《生理学杂志》上的新研究称,由于身处低氧环境中生活而引起的静止状态,可能导致心脏、呼吸、骨骼和神经系统疾病等健康问题。


That means space agencies such as NASA, Elon Musk's SpaceX and Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin should consider developing ways to keep space travelers exercising to maintain their health during long voyages. The research shows that moving takes energy that we get from a critical process called oxidative metabolism (氧化代谢). But the important process becomes encumbered in low-oxygen environments, resulting in cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. 
这意味着美国宇航局、埃隆·马斯克的太空探索技术公司、和杰夫·贝索斯的蓝色起源公司等航天机构应考虑开发让太空游客坚持锻炼的手段,以便让其在漫长的旅程中维持健康。研究表明,活动需要耗费能量,而能量来自于"氧化代谢"这一关键过程,然而在低氧环境中,这一重要过程受到阻碍,从而导致心血管和呼吸系统疾病。


The work is still preliminary, but will ultimately help design best practices for spaceflight, the primary author of the study, Bruno Grassi of the University of Udine said.
研究的主要作者、意大利乌迪内大学的布鲁诺·格拉西表示,这项研究虽然尚处于初级阶段,但它最终将有助于设计出适合航天飞行的最佳锻炼方案。
