一 | "I think a lot of people have been very surprised, not least in the Armed Forces themselves have been very surprised to hear that there has been a particularly strong positive discrimination in favour of ethnic minorities in the Royal Air Force," Matthew Gordon-Banks, a former Tory lawmaker and retired senior research fellow at the UK’s Defence Academy, explained.,Gordon-Banks suggested that neither the UK Army nor the Royal Navy lack appropriate diversity: "We've seen considerable changes in recent years in our army and even those soldiers who guard the Queen on ceremonial duties ̶ we're seeing a wide range of ethnic minorities also serving, not just white faces," he said.,However, the RAF has possibly become the least attractive service given the fact that the UK has reduced its number of planes and ships, according to the former British lawmaker. He does not rule out that the RAF is "suffering from recruitment problems which have exacerbated the potential lack of diversity at the current time.",‘The Biggest F*** Up in the RAF': UK's Training of Fast Jet Pilots in Crisis, Leaked Docs Claim6 August, 11:14 GMT,Gordon-Banks went on to recall that the head of the British Armed Forces, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, "made clear that he wanted the Royal Air Force chiefs to make diversity a priority” in his very first speech as the combined head of the Army, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force in December 2021.,"So that means, in my view, that the combined head of our Armed Forces is the person who actually started this particular issue," Gordon-Banks claimed. "And the head of the Royal Air Force, Chief Marshal Sir Michael Wigston, subsequently committed to doubling the number of women to 40% in the RAF by 2030 and also having 20% ethnic minorities serving in our Air Force. And this seems to be a target which has been described as too far, too fast, and in pursuing it, it actually puts diversity targets ahead of ensuring what is best for our Armed Forces operational effectiveness.",Gordon-Banks emphasized that he would be the first to say that having a good ethnic minority and diverse mix in the Armed Forces which reflects the multicultural kind of country that the UK is, is a positive thing. However, it should not come at the expense of operational effectiveness, the former Tory politician noted.,The head of the RAF’s recruiting team – herself a senior female officer whose identity has not been disclosed – recently resigned "in disgust at what reports claim is the imposition of a de facto recruitment freeze on white men in favour of women and candidates from an ethnic minority background," according to the Daily Mail.,"The very idea that a female group captain, head of recruitment of the Royal Air Force, has felt it necessary to tender her resignation because she believes that operational effectiveness is being hindered by an alleged stopping of recruitment of white faced recruits in order to boost ethnic minority recruitment is clearly ridiculous, and that such a senior officer should feel it necessary to tender her resignation highlights a very serious issue, but it's an issue which is being created by the very head of our Combined Armed Forces, Admiral Tony Radakin himself," highlighted Gordon-Banks.,WorldRAF Recruitment Head Reportedly Resigns After Service Temporarily Stops Hiring White Men17 August, 05:57 GMT,"Then you look at the head of the RAF and he's prepared to break the operational requirement of the air force just to meet diversity [targets]," one source said, as quoted by Sky News. Sources within the British Armed Forces have argued that these diversity targets are "impossible.",Former Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak, a contender to become the UK's prime minister, has recently commented on the emerging controversy. "The only thing that should matter in recruitment is the content of your character, not your sex or the colour of your skin," a spokesperson for the Sunak campaign said. "That the Ministry of Defence would allow Britain's security to potentially be put at risk by a drive for so-called 'diversity' is not only disgraceful, it is dangerous.",For its part, the RAF disputed the allegations, insisting that there is no pause in RAF recruitment and no new policy with regards to meeting in-year recruitment requirements, according to Sky News.,"What we should be doing in the UK is ensuring that we are recruiting the best irrespective of ethnicity," Gordon-Banks concluded.。 春天本是万物复苏、生机勃勃的季节，但不少人一到这时就打不起精神，就算晚上睡得足，第二天仍然哈欠连天，感觉困倦。中医把人在春天会产生困倦和思睡的现象称为“春困”。春天为什么会犯困？如何缓解春困？图源：卡乐图片。摄影/贾琼 1.大脑缺血缺氧是春困主因 了解春困，还得从冬天说起。
二 | 冬天时，为了防止热能大量散失，人体在中枢神经系统的调节下，使整个皮肤的血管处于收敛状态。到了春天，由于天气变暖，血管和毛孔渐渐扩张，皮肤的血流量也大大增加，但由于人体内血液的总流量相对稳定，供应皮肤的血液多了，供给脑部的血液就会相对减少。
三 | 这时，人的中枢神经系统兴奋性刺激信息减弱，抑制性功能增强，人会变得无精打采、昏昏欲睡，外在表现为中枢神经系统受抑制的春困。所以，春困是季节变化导致大脑缺血、缺氧的结果。 春季是肝气主导的季节，肝气旺盛，肝胜脾（木克土），导致脾失运化，水湿内停。春季雨水增多，体内湿气过重，会让人觉得困倦，身体四肢沉重，没有食欲，皮肤出现湿疹皮疹，甚至出现肠胃炎。脾虚湿困也是春困的原因。 春季白天变长、夜晚变短，人体睡眠时间相对缩短，人也容易感到困倦。此外，春困也可能与个人的作息习惯、饮食习惯和生活方式有关。例如，晚上睡眠质量差，饮食不均衡，缺乏运动等都可能导致春困现象。 既然是春困，那多睡点是不是就解决问题了？这其实是一种误解，因为睡觉并不是解决春困的最佳方法。一般成年人需要的睡眠时长为6-8小时，睡少了影响人的精神状态，但睡得太多如同吃得过饱一样，也不利于健康。有研究表明，睡眠长达11个小时的人比睡8个小时的人在醒后半小时内的注意力更差。 2.如何缓解春困？ 春天困倦虽不是疾病，但会影响到学习和工作效率，要想赶走春困，可以通过以下方法。 （1）早睡早起助睡眠。早睡早起，呼吸新鲜空气，以舒展阳气，消除疲劳。同时，保持良好的睡眠环境，增加室内通风，防止室内湿气过重，有助于提高睡眠质量。 （2）合理饮食多吃新鲜果蔬，通过食物补充身体必需的微量元素，要吃富含优质蛋白的肉、蛋、奶，保证人体所需，晚餐少量、清淡，以免增加肠胃负担，造成夜晚入睡困难。 （3）有氧运动有氧运动能加快人体的新陈代谢，增强免疫力，增加肌体和脑部供氧。需要提醒的是，春季乍暖还寒，进行有氧运动时强度不宜太大。可以选择每周3次进行快步走，每次30分钟，步频最好控制在每分钟60-80步。 （4）及时调节不良情绪多宽心，及时调节不良情绪，适当提醒自己不要动怒，还可以欣赏积极向上的诗词、歌曲、戏剧等，以疏肝理气，调养情志。 （5）多喝花茶春季适当喝茶不仅可以补充体液，增强血液循环，促进新陈代谢，还有利于消化吸收和废物排出，减少代谢产物和毒素对身体的损害。喝些花茶诸如茉莉花茶、桂花茶、玫瑰花茶等不仅有助于散发冬天积聚在体内的寒气，促使人体阳气生长，还能提神醒脑，解除春困，振奋精神。 （6）多伸懒腰伸懒腰这个动作能对人的心、肺造成挤压，类似于气球被抓紧再放松的过程，这样可以促进血液回到心脏再循环全身，将更多氧气供给各个器官。 （7）利用嗅觉刺激一些气味可以刺激嗅觉，促使神经减轻一时的“困”感，所以人感到困倦时可以使用花露水、清凉油或风油精等帮助清醒。 （8）按摩推荐“干洗脸”，即闭上双眼，用双手大鱼际从嘴角、鼻翼向上按摩，然后由额头向下，到达下巴，再由嘴角向上按摩，如此反复10次至20次。或者用梳头的方式，双手十指分开由前额向后脑勺梳头，最后揉按脖子，达到提神醒脑的效果。
四 | （9）坚持午睡要缓解春困，中午应该有15-30分钟的午睡，哪怕闭目养神也能减少疲劳。有的人认为吃完午饭不能立刻睡，其实这是个误区。吃完饭后胃肠道的血流会增加，大脑供血进一步减少，更加容易犯困，这时候午休也是顺其自然。
五 | 不过要注意的是，午休的时间应以半小时为限。 （透视社综合人民网、解放军报、北京日报、内蒙古日报、中国经济网报道）编辑：李煦、廖明娟（实习） 校对：李旭颖 审核：龚紫陌。
