【我的音樂推介：145. 芬蘭作曲家西貝流士共作有7部交響曲，這裡是他最常被演奏、最受歡迎的《D大調第2交響曲，作品43》。西貝流士交響曲的獨特風格，明顯有別於德、奧、俄、法的交響曲，在這部樂曲中，交響詩風的幻想性內容與交響曲的構成感絕妙地湊合一致，芬蘭風格的要素也明顯地表露出來。有人將這部第2交響曲稱為西貝流士的「田園交響曲」，因為這部交響曲雖非刻意描寫性的作品，但卻極富有北歐芬蘭特異的風土感覺，冋時樂曲主題帶有濃厚的北歐民謠色彩，活生生地反映出田園的情緒。】(貼於2021.1.20)

429. 一篇勾起兒時過年回憶的文章：吳春萍的《難忘兒時年》 吃團圓飯一般選在大年三十那天。涼菜多是事先準備好的，到時候端出來放上調料就可以吃。一大家親人在四面此起彼伏、連綿不斷的鞭炮聲中，圍坐在大桌前享用雞鴨魚肉等好吃的菜餚，熱熱鬧鬧地湊在一起，拜祭過灶神和各路神仙以及列祖列宗後團個年。年三十夜裏，四處響徹鞭炮聲，由於地處城郊，村子上空也被五光十色的焰火照耀得鮮艷多彩。家家戶戶的燈直至深夜都亮着，陪主人家「守夜」，伴大家歡迎新年的到來。在徹徹底底打掃得乾乾淨淨的屋子裏，一大家人圍坐在火旁，嗑着媽媽事先炒好藏在米罈子裏的瓜子、花生，吃着媽媽變魔術一樣端出來的各種零食，嘻嘻哈哈地說着你一句我一句的吉祥話語，聽着長輩你一言我一語地談笑，就這樣在分分秒秒中接近新年。
而到第二天農曆初一，雖然地上還留着年三十夜裏散落滿地的果皮殼，和煙花鞭炮燃放過後的紙屑，媽媽卻專門交代不能去掃，說是大年初一是不能掃地和幹活的，不然就會一年累到頭，還有這樣也象徵連年有餘的意思。起床後，幫媽媽用糨糊貼好我自己寫的春聯，不喜歡吃糯食的我也事先被媽媽警告，那天千萬不能說不吃湯圓，因而也勉強吃下去六個媽媽專門為我做的小湯圓，說是那樣一年到頭做什麼都會圓滿順暢。吃過後，穿上新衣服，揣上壓歲錢到新華書店買打折的連環畫等，那時候甭提多麼興高采烈了！
在我們鄉下，到了初二那天，一大早一般要煮麵條吃，說是寓意長壽。而走親戚串門也要從那天開始，按老規矩一般是不准大年初一串門的，就連回娘家也是從初二那天開始才可以。正月十五的元宵節其實才是真正的過「大年」，那天除了要掛燈籠，早上也要吃湯圓或者餃子、抄手之類的。中午和晚上是正餐，一般也就是把年前煮熟的豬頭肉、豬耳朵、豬舌頭各切一些拼盤涼拌，把豬尾巴那塊坐墩肉用蒜苗回鍋——媽媽說這是老祖宗留下的規矩，這樣吃豬頭、豬尾，就意味着一年會有頭有尾，事事順利。
正月十五，元宵節鬧完，這年也就過得差不多了，而娃娃們的寒假也過完了，要為新學期開學做好準備；要外出的行人也開始買車票打點包裹準備出發，鼓鼓的行囊裏大包小包地裝滿家裏親人準備的特產，心裏也裝滿了熱呼呼的親情——記得我上大學時，每次寒假過完要去學校的時候，媽媽都好像恨不得想把家裏所有吃的東西都塞進我的包裏。現在，可以在超市買到各種高質的東西，可以在餐廳吃到各種精緻的佳餚，我卻一直沒有找回學生時代媽媽做的家常菜的那種「味道」——對，是親情的「味道」——那種血濃於水的親情，和那時過年的味道，會一直珍藏在我的記憶裏。】 (寫於2021年2月6日)

75. My Wonderful Blood Pressure Readings
What wonderful blood pressure readings of mine these were! They were even better readings than those obtained a few months ago as mentioned in my previous article "My Recent Blood Pressure Values" (SYS: 122 mmHg / DIA: 78 mmHg / PUL: 75 beats per minute).
One should have an understanding to blood pressure readings and their significance to health so that precautions and steps can be taken early to avoid getting high blood pressure, thus avoiding the possibilities of getting serious heart or brain disease that would kill life.
The following article taken from the Web explains definitions of terms and criteria of normal or high blood pressure, and is worthy of a thorough and careful reading.
The only way to know if you have high blood pressure (HBP, or hypertension) is to have your blood pressure tested. Understanding your results is key to controlling high blood pressure.
Healthy and unhealthy blood pressure ranges
Learn what's considered normal, as recommended by the American Heart Association. See the chart.
Note: A diagnosis of high blood pressure must be confirmed with a medical professional. A doctor should also evaluate any unusually low blood pressure readings(Note#).
  Blood pressure categories The five blood pressure ranges as recognized by the American Heart Association are: Normal Blood pressure numbers of less than 120/80 mm Hg are considered within the normal range. If your results fall into this category, stick with heart-healthy habits like following a balanced diet and getting regular exercise. Elevated Elevated blood pressure is when readings consistently range from 120-129 systolic and less than 80 mm Hg diastolic. People with elevated blood pressure are likely to develop high blood pressure unless steps are taken to control the condition. Hypertension Stage 1 Hypertension Stage 1 is when blood pressure consistently ranges from 130-139 systolic or 80-89 mm Hg diastolic. At this stage of high blood pressure, doctors are likely to prescribe lifestyle changes and may consider adding blood pressure medication based on your risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), such as heart attack or stroke. Hypertension Stage 2 Hypertension Stage 2 is when blood pressure consistently ranges at 140/90 mm Hg or higher. At this stage of high blood pressure, doctors are likely to prescribe a combination of blood pressure medications and lifestyle changes. Hypertensive crisis This stage of high blood pressure requires medical attention. If your blood pressure readings suddenly exceed 180/120 mm Hg, wait five minutes and then test your blood pressure again. If your readings are still unusually high, contact your doctor immediately. You could be experiencing a hypertensive crisis. If your blood pressure is higher than 180/120 mm Hg and you are experiencing signs of possible organ damage such as chest pain, shortness of breath, back pain, numbness/weakness, change in vision or difficulty speaking, do not wait to see if your pressure comes down on its own. Call 911. Your blood pressure numbers and what they mean Your blood pressure is recorded as two numbers: Systolic blood pressure (the first number) – indicates how much pressure your blood is exerting against your artery walls when the heart beats. Diastolic blood pressure (the second number) – indicates how much pressure your blood is exerting against your artery walls while the heart is resting between beats. Which number is more important? Typically, more attention is given to systolic blood pressure (the first number) as a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease for people over 50. In most people, systolic blood pressure rises steadily with age due to the increasing stiffness of large arteries, long-term buildup of plaque and an increased incidence of cardiac and vascular disease. However, either an elevated systolic or an elevated diastolic blood pressure reading may be used to make a diagnosis of high blood pressure. According to recent studies, the risk of death from ischemic heart disease and stroke doubles with every 20 mm Hg systolic or 10 mm Hg diastolic increase among people from age 40 to 89. Symptoms of low blood pressure: Most doctors will only consider chronically low blood pressure as dangerous if it causes noticeable signs and symptoms, such as: Dizziness or lightheadedness / Nausea / Fainting (syncope) / Dehydration and unusual thirst / Dehydration can sometimes cause blood pressure to drop. However, dehydration does not always cause low blood pressure. Fever, vomiting, severe diarrhea, overuse of diuretics and strenuous exercise can all lead to dehydration, a potentially serious condition in which your body loses more water than you take in. Even mild dehydration (a loss of as little as 1 percent to 2 percent of body weight) can cause weakness, dizziness and fatigue. / Lack of concentration / Blurred vision / Cold, clammy, pale skin / Rapid, shallow breathing / Fatigue / Depression) (Written on December 17, 2019)
