Let’s get real: The fun part about eating yusheng is the prosperity toss, or what we call lo hei. That’s when we gather round the table with our loved ones and have a hand in preparing our food by adding and tossing the ingredients of yusheng while uttering well wishes for one another, all in the name of being auspicious. However, more often than not, we find ourselves stumped by what to say, with the addition of each ingredient.

农历7月(俗称鬼月)如今已过一周。华人相信“鬼门关”会在这个月份打开，已逝去的孤魂野鬼会在这时回到人间游荡。为此每逢中元节华人都会焚烧金银纸、以食物作为祭品等等。华人也相信，在人间游荡的鬼魂可能就在你我之间，所以也会在这个月份特别遵守一些禁忌。无论你是否迷信，以下是鬼月时该遵守的几样事项。 鬼魂可是将这看成和你沟通的机会噢。当你一个人独处并大声说话时，你可能会得到(你不想得到)的回应… 毕竟这不是个吉利的月份… 就像是墨菲定律一样，如果有可能出错，就一定会出错。 … 然后尽量避免三个人一起拍照。据说，拍照时站在中间的那个人会第一个去世。 传言道：相机拥有摄魂的能力，所以在鬼神最活跃的时间段，还是尽量别拍了吧。 不是说你会碰到需要在公共场所“方便”的情况(毕竟现在哪里都有厕所)。不过如果你真的被困在荒无人烟之处并急需上厕所，记得先道歉再在草丛里“方便”。 华人相信这些昆虫是祖先的化身，所以你应该不想在祖父回来探望亲人时给他一巴掌。 因为你很有可能招惹到正在游荡的鬼魂…...

AbstractImmune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) are cancer therapies that have been associated with increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Blood pressure (BP) measurements are routinely performed during day oncology center visits for administration of ICI therapy but are often not assessed temporally to screen and monitor hypertension, which could independently increase the risk of ASCVD in cancer survivorship.

Every developer's face when looking at code that's not working as intended (courtesy of knowyourmemes.com) Welcome, weary wizards! This isn't StackOverflow but I'm glad you clicked to page 3 of Google search to get here. 1. You forgot to specify a top value2. There's an overflow that's anything but visible set in the parent somewhere3. There is no height value (can't "stick" if there's no "track" to scroll, yes?)4.
