The best way to tone is to utilize aerobic ( aerobic [ɛə'rəubik] adj I. (of an organism or process) depending on oxygen. Living or occurring only in the presence of oxygen: aerobic bacteria. II.designed for or relating to aerobics. aerobic shoes. Compare anaerobic. III. 有氧的.

Aerobatics ( aerobatics [,ɛərəu'bætiks] (functioning as singular or plural) spectacular or dangerous manoeuvres, such as loops or rolls, performed in an aircraft or glider; stunt flying. ) is the practice of flying maneuvers involving aircraft attitudes that are not used in normal flight. Aerobatics are performed in airplanes and gliders for training, recreation, entertainment, and sport. Additionally, some helicopters, such as the MBB Bo 105, are capable of limited aerobatic maneuvers. The term is sometimes referred to as acrobatics, especially when translated. Most aerobatic maneuvers involve rotation of the aircraft about its longitudinal (roll) axis or lateral (pitch) axis. Other maneuvers, such as a spin, displace the aircraft about its vertical (yaw) axis. Maneuvers are often combined to form a complete aerobatic sequence for entertainment or competition. Aerobatic flying requires a broader set of piloting skills and exposes the aircraft to greater structural stress than for normal flight. In some countries, the pilot must wear a parachute when performing aerobatics. While many pilots fly aerobatics for recreation, some choose to fly in aerobatic competitions, a refereed sport. ) exercise to reduce body fat and perform weight resistance exercise to build muscle. Performing a combination of such exercises can be referred to as toning. In this respect, the term toned implies leanness in the body, low levels of body fat, and noticeable muscle definition and shape. The concept of muscle building may refer to the expected effects of such exercises. Muscle building typically includes lifting weights. Some bodybuilders and experts argue that there is no such thing as a toning exercise. What is referred to as toning actually consists of two effects: increased muscle size through hypertrophy( [hai'pɜ:trəfi] 肥胖. 过度肥大. n. A nontumorous enlargement of an organ or a tissue as a result of an increase in the size rather than the number of constituent cells. abnormal enlargement of a part or organ due to an increase in the size of its cells; excessive growth. muscle hypertrophy.) and reduced bodyfat percent. Combined, these create the appearance that the muscle is firming up, when in fact human muscle is usually tight, due to tonus. 6. Carbohydrate loading, commonly referred to as carbo-loading or carb-loading 蓄积能量, 养精蓄锐, 韬光养晦, is a strategy used by endurance athletes, such as marathon runners, to maximize the storage of glycogen 糖原 (or energy) in the muscles. Carbohydrate loading is also used in healthcare to optimise the condition of patients prior to colorectal (结肠直肠的. colorectal [,kəuləu'rɛktəl] Relating to or involving both the colon and the rectum: colorectal cancer. ) surgery. Carbohydrate loading is generally recommended for endurance events耐力运动 lasting longer than 90 minutes. For many endurance athletes the foods of choice for carbo-loading are those of low glycemic血糖的 indices( glycemic index 血糖指数 A numerical index given to a carbohydrate-rich food that is based on the average increase in blood glucose levels occurring after the food is eaten. glycemic: Glycemia means the presence, or the level, of glucose in one's blood. ) due to their minimal effect on serum ( serum ['siərəm] 血清 ) glucose 葡萄糖 levels. Low glycemic foods commonly include fruits, vegetables, whole wheat pasta and grains. Because of this, many marathoners and triathlon participants have large pasta dinners the night before the race. Since muscles also extensively utilize amino acids when functioning within aerobic limits, meals should include adequate protein on top of carbohydrates. Large portions before a race can, however, be detrimental to race-day performance if the digestive system has not had the time to adequately process the food. 8. Gone for a Burton 死翘翘了, 坏了, 丢了 is a euphemistic phrase meaning to die. It was used in World War II especially in the Royal Air Force when referring to aircrew who had crashed or been killed in action. In the modern day, the phrase can mean numerous things other than death. A thing can be said to have 'gone for a Burton' if it is broken or lost. A person who has been said to have 'gone for a Burton' can also have gone missing or failed, rather than died. be gone on somebody (informal) to be very attracted to someone. to like someone a lot: Nicky's really gone on Marty.

You being the cake and Richard being the too. wiki: A shack 年久失修的小破房子 is a type of small house, usually in a state of disrepair. It was a common usage among people of Mexican ancestry throughout the U.S. southwest and was picked up by speakers of American English. It is possible that up to a billion people worldwide live in shacks. Fire is a key hazard in shack settlements. Shack settlements are also sometimes known as slums or shanty towns贫民窟. In Australia, particularly in Tasmania, shacks were originally holiday homes located on crown land such as along river banks (especially the Murray River) or near beaches. They were roughly built as they were likely to get washed away in floods, and had no legal title on the land they were built on. Now, a lot of the shack owners have freehold title to their land, and are subject to building codes to reduce the risk of damage or injury from floods and storms. Many are now quite grand holiday homes and summer houses. The New Zealand equivalent is called a bach. A shanty town贫民窟(shanty = chanty = chantey = shantey I. A roughly built, often ramshackle cabin; a shack. II. (AU, NZ)a public house, esp an unlicensed one. ) (also called a squatter settlement) is a slum settlement (sometimes illegal or unauthorized) of impoverished people who live in improvised dwellings made from scrap materials: often plywood, corrugated metal and sheets of plastic. Shanty towns, which are usually built on the periphery of cities, often do not have proper sanitation, electricity, or telephone services. Shanty towns are mostly found in developing nations, or partially developed nations with an unequal distribution of wealth贫富不均 (or, on occasion, developed countries in a severe recession). In extreme cases, shanty towns have populations approaching that of a city. As of 2005, one billion people, one-sixth of the world's population, live in shanty towns. squat I. 非法占据. 非法占有. To settle on unoccupied land without legal claim. II. To occupy a given piece of public land in order to acquire title to it. III.

The lyrics in his songs aren't worth diddly-squat - it's the melodies that make you feel good. Squatting consists of occupying an abandoned or unoccupied space or building, usually residential, that the squatter does not own, rent or otherwise have permission to use. Squatting is largely absent from policy and academic debate and is rarely conceptualized, as a problem, as a symptom, or as a social or housing movement. In many of the world's poorer countries, there are extensive slums or shanty towns, typically built on the edges of major cities and consisting almost entirely of self-constructed housing built without the landowner's permission. While these settlements may, in time, grow to become both legalised and indistinguishable from normal residential neighbourhoods, they start off as squats with minimal basic infrastructure. Thus, there is no sewage system, drinking water must be bought from vendors or carried from a nearby tap, and if there is electricity, it is stolen from a passing cable. There is an important distinction to be made between squatting by necessity and squatting as political statement. In this period of global recession and increased housing foreclosures, squatting has become far more prevalent in Western, developed nations. Obviously, in some cases, need-based and politically motivated squatting go hand in hand. In effect, beleaguered citizens living in a welfare state that cannot provide them with adequate resources take action into their own hands ( take matters into your own hands 自行决定 to deal with a problem yourself because the people who should have dealt with it have failed to do so. The police haven't done anything about the vandalism, so local residents have taken matters into their own hands. take something into your own hands to deal with something yourself.

The shopkeeper took the law into his own hands when he tried to arrest the thief.) and squat. In many countries, squatting is in itself a crime; in others, it is only seen as a civil conflict民事争议 between the owner and the occupants. "Squatters are usually portrayed as worthless scroungers hell-bent on ( Impetuously or recklessly determined to do or achieve something: was hell-bent on winning.) disrupting society破坏社会."
知名黑客死亡: He was known for his presentation at the Black Hat computer security conference in 2010, during which he exploited two ATMs and made them dispense fake paper currency on the stage. Among his other most notable works were the exploitation of various medical devices, including pacemakers心脏起搏器 and insulin pumps(The insulin [inzu'li:n] 胰岛素 pump is a medical device used for the administration of insulin胰岛素使用 in the treatment of diabetes mellitus, also known as continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion therapy. The device includes: the pump (including controls, processing module, and batteries), a disposable reservoir for insulin (inside the pump), a disposable infusion set, including a cannula for subcutaneous insertion (under the skin) and a tubing system to interface the insulin reservoir to the cannula. An insulin pump is an alternative to multiple daily injections of insulin by insulin syringe or an insulin pen and allows for intensive insulin therapy when used in conjunction with blood glucose monitoring and carb counting. carb counting: A more complicated method that allows greater freedom with meal times and snacks is "carb counting." This approach is taught to diabetic patients in the UK and elsewhere as "Dose Adjustment For Normal Eating" or DAFNE. In Europe, patients who are not familiar with the DAFNE regime can take an educational course where the basic starting insulin dose guideline is "for every 10g of carbohydrates [,kɑ:bəu'haidreit]碳水化合物, 糖类 you eat, take 1 unit of insulin".). He was known for attention-grabbing hacking demonstrations that made him a sought-after presenter at computer-security conferences. In 2010, he showed how he could break into ATM machines and make them spit out cash狂吐钱, a stunt he performed live on stage at the annual Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas. The previous year, he showed a security flaw in an insulin pump that allowed him to hack the device from as far as 300 feet away (90 metres), forcing it to dispense the hormone. Jack used a see-through mannequin's ['mænikin] torso, blood-colored liquid and a handheld antenna to bring the demonstration to life. "We certainly don't want people to lose faith in these devices," Jack said on July 18 in an interview with Bloomberg. "But certainly any threats, no matter how minor, need to be eliminated." He had another medical-device presentation planned for next week at Black Hat, one of the security industry's top venues for researchers. In the interview last week, Jack described how he was planning to show that he could scan a range of up to 30 feet (9 metres) for a certain model of pacemaker ( A pacemaker (or artificial pacemaker, so as not to be confused with the heart's natural pacemaker) is a medical device that uses electrical impulses, delivered by electrodes contracting the heart muscles, to regulate the beating of the heart. The primary purpose of a pacemaker is to maintain an adequate heart rate, either because the heart's natural pacemaker is not fast enough, or there is a block in the heart's electrical conduction system. Modern pacemakers are externally programmable and allow the cardiologist to select the optimum pacing modes for individual patients. Some combine a pacemaker and defibrillator in a single implantable device. Others have multiple electrodes stimulating differing positions within the heart to improve synchronisation of the lower chambers (ventricles) of the heart. ) and defibrillator( defibrillator [di'faibri,leitə -'fib-] 去颤器, 除颤器. Defibrillation is a common treatment for life-threatening cardiac dysrhythmias, ventricular fibrillation, and pulseless ventricular tachycardia. Defibrillation consists of delivering a therapeutic dose of electrical energy to the affected heart with a device called a defibrillator. This depolarizes a critical mass of the heart muscle, terminates the dysrhythmia, and allows normal sinus rhythm to be reestablished by the body's natural pacemaker, in the sinoatrial node of the heart. Defibrillators can be external, transvenousz经静脉的, or implanted, depending on the type of device used or needed. Some external units, known as automated external defibrillators (AEDs), automate the diagnosis of treatable rhythms, meaning that lay responders外行 or bystanders are able to use them successfully with little, or in some cases no training at all. ) — he didn't say which one — override the software running on it and send high-voltage shocks to the device, shorting out its circuitry. Jack's talk scheduled for August 1 won't be replaced, according to Trey Ford, general manager of Black Hat. "We have lost a member of our family," Ford said in a statement. "Everyone would agree that the life and work of Barnaby Jack are legendary and irreplaceable." "Beyond his work in our industry, Barnaby was an incredibly warm hearted and welcoming individual with a passion for celebrating life," he said. "We all have a hilarious and upbeat story about Barnaby. He is truly a shining example of what we love about this community." Others in the hacking community expressed shock as the news of his death spread via Twitter. Jack planned to reveal software that uses a common transmitter to scan for and "interrogate" individual medical implants, the website said. The topic is reminiscent of the second season of the TV drama Homeland, when terrorists kill the vice president by hacking into his heart device. Jack planned to discuss ways manufacturers could improve the security of the devices. He dedicated his career to exploiting weaknesses in onboard computers in cars, automated teller machines and other so-called "embedded devices" so that they can be better protected. "A truly visionary man in many ways, Barnaby's recent critical research into the safety of medical devices such as pacemakers leaves behind a legacy that will never be forgotten," Steffens said in a statement. "IOActive will be working with the industry as a whole to ensure the advancements Barnaby started in this field will continue saving lives for years to come." He had spent years tinkering with捣鼓, 鼓捣 ATMs he bought online and found that the keys that came with his machines were the same for all ATMs of that type made by that manufacturer. He used his key to unlock a compartment in the ATM, and then used a USB slot to insert a program that commanded the ATM to dump its vaults( vault1 I. A room or space, such as a cellar or storeroom, with arched walls and ceiling, especially when underground. II. A room or compartment, often built of steel, for the safekeeping of valuables: a bank vault. III. A burial chamber, especially when underground. vault2 I. 撑杆跳. To jump or leap, especially with the use of the hands or a pole. II. To accomplish something as if by leaping suddenly or vigorously: vaulted into a position of wealth.). During his talk entitled "Jackpotting ATMs", he didn't go into detail about how he hacked the machines remotely, saying his goal was not to teach people how to hack ATMs but to get manufacturers to be proactive about implementing fixes. "Barnaby had the ability to take complex technology and intricate research and make it tangible and accessible for everyone to learn and grow from," Black Hat said in a statement.

Robbert Westerdyk, a member of the Terrigal Underwater Group, had just finished a dive at the HMAS(Her Majesty's Australian Ship (HMAS) is the designation of any Australian warship, as well as many major Australian naval bases such as HMAS Stirling. It derives from "Her Majesty's Ship" (HMS) used in the United Kingdom. The British monarch is also equally and separately the Australian head of state. Should the Queen be replaced by a King, the designation also changes to "His" rather than "Her" Majesty. Ships bearing this designation are the responsibility of the Royal Australian Navy. In October 1911 King George V fixed his signature to the approval for the Royal Australian Navy and from that date all ships officially received the designation.) Adelaide shipwreck off Avoca Beach on Saturday morning when he and a group of fellow divers saw a large shadow in the water as they prepared to leave. The divers swam over to investigate, and were confronted with a shocking scene: a two-metre, 120-kilogram mako shark suspended on a mooring rope near the shipwreck's bow. The dead shark appeared to have been deliberately tied up绑起来, and also had been stabbed on its torso. "It was strung around the tail, probably 9, 10, 11, 12 times," Mr Westerdyk said. It was really strung up tight by the tail, and then there was a big gash 深长的切口 right across the torso of the shark. "We were trying to think of what could have done this. It certainly didn't happen by itself. It's certainly had intervention there by some means. "I don't even think the shark was fully dead at the time because of the way it was quite gnarled ( gnarl [nɑrl] v. I. To snarl; growl. II. To make knotted; twist. to knot or cause to knot. n. any knotty protuberance or swelling on a tree. ) and twisted. I think it still must have had a bit of life and it was still maybe trying to fight." "Because it's an artificial reef now, the ex-HMAS Adelaide, it attracts a lot of fish life and of course the fishermen like to go there," he said. "There is a 200-metre exclusion zone around the area, but you still get the unscrupulous people 不道德的人 who want to go in there and poach( poach I. 慢炖.

"They're normally a deep ocean fish深海鱼 and they're out there chasing the pelagic fish ( pelagic [pɛ'lædʒik] 远海的, 远洋的 Of, relating to, or living in open oceans or seas rather than waters adjacent to land or inland waters: pelagic birds.)," he said. "They usually don't give us any grief at all, but they are a really nice looking fish. They're very sleek and they're very fast." ''While it's difficult to speculate on the exact circumstances about these photos, clearly it is disappointing to see these pictures of the mako ( Either of two mackerel sharks of the genus Isurus, characterized by a large heavy body and a nearly symmetrical tail. ) shark and this type of action is totally unacceptable,'' he said.
