| Student arrest may have averted disaster |
加州學生持槍制炸彈 |
| Police at a Los Angeles university campus may have prevented a tragedy when they detained a deranged student later found to have a shotgun and bomb-making ingredients in his dorm room, Reuters reported. David Everson, 22, was detained on Jan. 3 after a counselor alerted police at California State University, Northridge, that the student could be a danger. "He made direct threats to commit bodily harm or kill seven people," said Police Chief Anne Glavin. "They were all named." Police found the shotgun, along with ammunition, in Everson's room the same day they detained him. Everson was arrested upon his release from a mental health facility. Police went back with a search warrant the next day and found the bomb-making ingredients. On Friday, he pleaded not guilty to charges of possessing ingredients to make a bomb and having a firearm on campus. |
據路透社報道，洛杉磯一所大學的警察拘留一名精神失常的學生，后來在其宿舍發現一把手槍和制造炸彈的材料，警方認為他們可能制止了一起悲劇的發生。22歲的大衛?埃弗森1月3日被拘留，此前加州州立大學北嶺分校的一名學校管理員曾向警方反映該學生十分危險。警察局長安妮?格拉文表示：“他直接向7人進行人身傷害和謀殺威脅，并列出了所有人的名字。” 埃弗森從精神病院出院后即被拘留。拘留當天，警方在他的宿舍里發現了手槍和彈藥。第二天，警方拿著搜查證搜查了他的宿舍，發現了制造炸彈的材料。對于持有炸藥制造材料和在校園持槍的指控，他并不認罪。 |
| 18 months' recovery for baby blues |
產后抑郁癥持續一年半 |
| A poll of thousands of British women show that mothers of newly born children will spend 18 months on average to recover from what's called baby blues and start to "feel like a woman again," the Daily Mail reported. During that one-and-a-half-year period, sleepless nights, loss of independence and weight worries all contribute to women's crisis of confidence. A parenting advice website notes that although 18 months are the average, recovery for many women will take longer. |
據英國《每日郵報》報道，一項有數千名英國女性參與的調查顯示，剛剛生完孩子的女性一般需要18個月的時間從所謂的產后憂郁癥中恢復，然后開始“覺得自己再次像女人了”。在這一年半的時間里，失眠、喪失獨立性、對體型的擔心都會造成女性的信心危機。某育兒經驗網站還指出，盡管18個月是一個平均數，很多女性恢復的時間還會更久。 |
