Old Slaughter's Coffee House was a coffee house in St Martin's Lane in London. Opened in 1692 by Thomas Slaughter, it was the haunt of many of the important personages of the period. The building was demolished in 1843 when Cranbourn Street was constructed.
History[edit]
It was opened in 1692 by Thomas Slaughter and so was first known as Slaughter's or The Coffee-house on the Pavement, as not all London streets were paved at that time. It was at numbers 74–75; however, around 1760, after the original landlord had died, a rival New Slaughter's opened at number 82, and the first establishment then became known as Old Slaughter's.[1]
It was patronised by players of games that included chess, draughts and whist. Notable players included Abraham de Moivre, Benjamin Franklin and Philidor.[2][3] It was also popular with artists of all kinds, including architects, painters, poets, and sculptors. This artistic community included Dryden, Gainsborough, Hogarth, and Roubiliac.[1] Foreigners such as Frenchmen were often there, and Boswell reports Dr Johnson's comment on this around 1780:[4]
His unjust contempt for foreigners was, indeed, extreme. One evening, at Old Slaughter's Coffee-house, when a number of them were talking loud about little matters, he said 'Does not this confirm old Meynell's observation, For any thing I see, foreigners are fools?'
— James Boswell, The Life of Samuel Johnson, LL. D.
Henry Fielding was a regular and nicknamed the head-waiter "Sock". Sock was said to be the out-of-wedlock son of a popular comedian, James Spiller, and had a similar talent for droll wit. On one occasion, he partook of a customer's punch while bringing it and excused this by saying that he had spilled it. Thereafter, Sock was also known as the "Punch Spiller".[5]
It was used as a meeting house, and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which subsequently became the RSPCA, was founded there in 1824. The meeting was organised by the Reverend Arthur Broome and chaired by Sir Fowell Buxton. There were eight other gentlemen attending, including "Humanity Dick" – aka Colonel Richard Martin – who had successfully campaigned for the Cruel Treatment of Cattle Act in 1822 but whose latest bill for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals had been defeated in the Lords that day. Other MPs attending included Sir James Mackintosh and William Wilberforce.[6]
The premises were demolished in the winter of 1843 when Cranbourn Street was constructed.[7]

咖啡可以有很多意義：早晨的儀式、文化傳統、生產力技巧，甚至是健康飲料。 例如，研究表明，喝咖啡的人壽命更長，罹患第 2 型糖尿病、帕金森氏症、心血管疾病和某些癌症的風險也更低。
“總的來說，咖啡的好處多於壞處，”
攝取過多咖啡因會導致心跳加速、神經過敏、焦慮、噁心或睡眠困難，
它還會導致頭痛、胃酸倒流，如果劑量足夠大，甚至會導致震顫或嘔吐，
她說，咖啡因過量通常是由於短時間內攝取過多濃縮形式的咖啡因（例如粉末或補充劑）造成的。 在大多數情況下，你需要攝取至少 10,000 毫克咖啡因——或相當於大約 50 到 100 杯咖啡，具體取決於濃度——才有可能致命，
大多數成年人每天可以安全攝取 400 毫克咖啡因，大約是四杯八盎司的沖泡咖啡或六杯濃縮咖啡的含量。
話雖這麼說，400 毫克的指導方針對大多數成年人來說是合理的，
歸根結底，「你只需要傾聽你的身體的聲音，」坦普爾博士說。 「如果你開始感到噁心、緊張或焦慮，也許可以減少一些，」她說。 “如果它影響了你的睡眠，那就減少一點。”
Coffee can be many things: a morning ritual, a cultural tradition, a productivity hack and even a health drink. Studies suggest, for instance, that coffee drinkers live longer and have lower risks of Type 2 diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, cardiovascular conditions and some cancers.
“Overall, coffee does more good than bad,”
Having too much caffeine can cause a racing heart, jitteriness, anxiousness, nausea or trouble sleeping,
It can also lead to headaches, acid reflux and, at high enough doses, even tremors or vomiting,
Caffeine overdoses typically result from taking in too much caffeine from concentrated forms, such as powders or supplements, in a short period of time, she said. And in most cases, you would need to consume at least 10,000 milligrams of caffeine — or the equivalent of about 50 to 100 cups of coffee, depending on the strength — for it to be potentially fatal,
Most adults can safely consume 400 milligrams of caffeine — or the amount in about four eight-ounce cups of brewed coffee or six espresso shots — per day,
That being said, the 400 milligram guideline is reasonable for most adults,
At the end of the day, “you just kind of have to listen to your body,” Dr. Temple said. “If you’re starting to feel nauseous or jittery or anxious, maybe cut back,” she said. “If it’s affecting your sleep, cut back.”

《文學群星會》一書最近出版，對現代主義文學在臺灣的發展做了全面回望。由於國際寫作計畫（IWP）是美國現代主義文學影響臺灣的重要管道，因此主編王梅香老師和陳榮彬老師要我寫一篇文章介紹其現況。
我一貫搞不清楚狀況，愣頭愣腦問說能不能寫篇散文，老師說好，我就很開心地寫了。結果書印出來，每篇都是超扎實精闢的論述，只有我一個人在那裡吹冷風撥瀏海耍文青，實在很見笑。
不過也感謝有這樣的機緣，讓我把愛荷華的經驗好好整理出來，留下比較完整的書寫。收錄在書裡的版本限於篇幅只有三千多字，我自己有一篇九千字的導演加長版（就是比較自戀叨絮的那種），這裡貼出折衷版，並且盡可能把之前在臉書貼過的內容略去。
比較唏噓的是，我參加的那一期同時有來自巴勒斯坦和以色列的作家，前者對後者高度排斥，不僅不肯正眼相對，甚至為此不願參加大合照。我從旁寫下一點觀察，當然，在去年殘酷的以巴戰爭爆發後，這點零碎膚淺的觀察似乎顯得無關痛癢，但仍記錄下了當時其他國家的人們如何看待他們互動，以及「旁觀他人之痛苦」的微妙細節。
聽到戰爭的消息時，我曾分別和這兩位朋友聯絡，幸而他們都平安，且很巧合地都不在國內。當然，精神上的痛苦還是免不了的。而因為曾和他們緊密相處，這場戰爭對我來說就不再只是一則事不關己的遠方新聞而已。
雖然IWP已經是一年多前的舊事，心理上感覺更遙遠，但那經驗至今仍有持續影響我的部分，也就不怕有炒冷飯的嫌疑，姑且貼出來和大家分享。

日航和阿拉斯加航空事故「奇蹟」的真相
ZEYNEP TUFEKCI
兩架客機上的所有人都安然脫險，是監管、培訓、專業知識、努力、不斷改進基礎設施的奇蹟，也是機組人員專業素養和英雄氣概的奇蹟。事故發生後數小時內，阿拉斯加航空表示，將停飛機隊中所有65架波音737 Max 9飛機，直到機械師能夠仔細檢查每架飛機。週六晚些時候，聯邦航空局下令其他一些航空公司暫時停飛該機。
2018年和2019年，在不到五個月的時間裡，波音737 Max 8飛機發生了兩起墜機事故，共造成346人死亡。後來發現兩起墜機事故都與一個會無視飛行員指令的系統故障有關。
這些墜機事件導致波音737 Max飛機在全球範圍內停飛，數百架飛機在世界各地的停機坪上停放了近兩年，工程師們努力查明並解決問題，以便監管機構重新認證這些飛機。
《紐約時報》和其他媒體的報導最終披露，競爭壓力、設計缺陷和監管問題都在這款飛機令人不安的歷史中發揮了作用。這款飛機是波音公司有史以來最暢銷的飛機，停飛時，全球航空公司的預購訂單高達數千億美元。
後果是什麼？
波音公司同意在2021年與司法部達成和解，支付25億美元，以解決該公司密謀欺騙聯邦空管局的刑事指控。空管局負責監管波音公司，並對其飛機進行評估。
2022年，波音公司在與美國證券監管機構達成的一項協議中又增加了2億美元罰款，原因是該公司被指誤導投資者，暗示人為失誤是兩起致命事故的罪魁禍首，並掩蓋了公司對飛機的擔憂。
在印尼和衣索比亞墜機事件發生20個月後，這些飛機重新獲得認證，波音公司估計這場危機給公司造成了207億美元的損失。

機身在半空中破裂，在飛機側面留下了一個門大小的洞，這架噴氣式客機隨即返回波特蘭機場。
事故發生後數小時內，阿拉斯加航空表示，將停飛機隊中所有65架波音737 Max 9飛機，直到機械師能夠仔細檢查每架飛機。週六晚些時候，聯邦航空局下令其他一些航空公司暫時停飛該機。
在阿拉斯加航空的事件中，飛機是在美國製造的，在美國飛行時失去了一個機身部分。因此，美國國家運輸安全委員會將是負責調查該事件的牽頭機構。
安全調查可能需要數月時間，涉及來自政府、運營飛機的航空公司、工會和飛機製造商（具體這一次是波音公司）的技術專家。
空管局不需要等待安全委員會的報告，就可以決定是否停飛某一型號的飛機，或者下令立即進行檢查。無論如何，航空公司一旦知道要檢查什麼，通常都會立即檢查飛機。
