Sako-Indonesia.com - Banyak
orang yang merasa lebih cocok memakai lensa kontak ketimbang kacamata untuk memperbaiki fokus
penglihatan. Sayangnya, penggunaan lensa kontak yang semakin mudah tak dibarengi dengan
perawatan kebersihan yang baik.
Jika kita kurang teliti dalam membersihkan,
lensa kontak bisa menjadi sumber infeksi. Itu sebabnya para pengguna lensa kontak harus
mewaspadai 8 kondisi berikut ini.
1. Saat menyentuh lensa
kontak
Cuci tangan dengan sabun sebelum menyentuh lensa kontak atau mata Anda.
Sebaiknya kuku tidak terlalu panjang agar tidak menggores lensa. Jangan pernah menggunakan air
keran atau air ludah untuk membersihkan lensa. Hanya gunakan cairan pembersih khusus lensa
kontak.
2. Dipakai terlalu lama
Ada alasan penting
mengapa para dokter tak menyarankan penggunaan lensa kontak terlalu lama. Lensa kontak
menghambat oksigen ke mata. Jika Anda menggunakannya terlalu lama, misalnya malas membukanya
saat tidur, bisa berpotensi menyebabkan luka pada kornea.
3.
Menggunakan obat
Anda harus membuka dulu lensa kontak sebelum memakai
berbagai jenis obat tetes mata. Namun, beberapa jenis obat, seperti pil kontrasepsi yang
meningkatkan hormon estrogen bisa membuat mata lebih sensitif dan lebih kering. Demikian juga
dengan obat jerawat yang bisa menyebabkan sensasi gatal pada mata.
4.
Mata terlalu kering
Karena lensa kontak melapisi permukaan mata dan menahan
oksigen, banyak pengguna lensa kontak yang mengalami mata kering. Kekeringan tersebut bisa
bertambah parah dalam kondisi tertentu, seperti di pesawat, di cuaca kering, atau minum alkohol.
5. Cairan pembersih
Cairan pembersih (solution)
lensa kontak memiliki banyak variasi, ada yang hanya membilas, membunuh kuman, atau membasahi
mata untuk meningkatkan produksi air mata. Setiap produk tersebut mengandung pengawet yang bisa
kadaluarsa atau mengiritasi mata. Karena itu hindari memakai produk yang sudah lewat masa
pakainya. Selain itu, hindari kebiasaan memindahkan solution ke wadah kecil saat traveling
karena bisa meningkatkan risiko kontaminasi.
6. Berdandan
Alat make-up bisa menjadi sarana infeksi. Untuk itu hindari meminjamkan maskara,
eyeliner, atau eye shadow, dengan orang yang sedang sakit mata atau matanya
iritasi. Selain itu, pakailah lensa kontak sebelum berdandan dan lepaslah lensa kontak sebelum
membersihkan kosmetik.
7. Di luar ruangan
Partikel
kecil di udara seperti debu, asap, atau bulu binatang, bisa masuk ke mata dan membuat iritasi.
Lebih disarankan untuk tidak memakai kacamata saat naik motor.
8.
Berenang
Tentu tak mungkin berenang dengan kacamata. Tetapi memakai softlens
saat berenang di kolam yang mengandung klorin bisa membuat lensa kontak terkontaminasi.
Sebaiknya lepaskan lensa kontak saat berenang dan tunggu satu jam sebelum memakai lensa kontak
kembali.
Dewasa Ini Banyak sekali Terdengan Berbagai
Alternatif Yang bIsa digunakan untuk menambha tinggi badan, mulai dari obat, suplemen, vitamin,
juga alat-alat tertentu.
Tentu butuh biaya yang cukup untuk memenuhi keinginan tumbuh
keatas dengan cara yang demikian, nah bagaimana jika kita Tak ingin terlalu banyak keluar uang?
atau ada tidak sich cara yang bisa dilakukan dengan gratis? atau olahraga yang seperti apa yang
bisa menambah tinggi badan?
Berikut ini beberapa tips untuk menambah tinggi badan secara alami, SEMANGAT dan Selamat Mencoba!!!
1. Lari cepat jarak pendek
(sprint)
Latihan ini bermanfaat meningkatkan pelepasan hormon pertumbuhan.
Penekanan pada otot kaki selama latihan berdampak pada pemanjangan tulang dan otot.
Tetapi jangan terlalu sering melakukannya karena dapat menyebabkan pembengkakan pada otot dan
tendon. Sprint dianjurkan pada permukaan alami seperti lantai atau rumput, bukan beton.
2. Menendang
Berdiri dengan kaki lebar dan angkat satu kaki
kemudian lakukan tendangan. Ulangi minimal 20 tendangan pada satu kaki dan kemudian beralih ke
kaki yang lain. Lakukan latihan ini selama 20 kali, karena dapat memperpanjang tulang kering dan
paha.
3. Lompat
Berdirilah di depan bangku atau
tangga setinggi kaki. Untuk memulai, lompat dengan satu kaki dalam sepuluh hitungan. Lalu, ulangi
dengan kaki lain. Lakukan gerakan melompat hingga tiga kali. Anda bisa beristirahat di sela
latihan.
4. Bersepeda
Gerakan mengayuh sepeda
membuat jari kaki terus mencapai pedal. Ini merupakan peregangan yang bisa membuat kaki lebih
panjang. Lakukanlah selama sekitar 10-15 menit. Anda juga dapat menggunakan sepeda statis atau
stationary cycle.
5. Berenang
Olahraga satu ini
memang sangat efektif untuk membuat tubuh fit dan lebih fleksibel. Lakukan renang gaya dada dan
lakukan minimal 20 menit.
6. Lompat tali
Latihan ini
sangat menyenangkan, apalagi jika Anda sambil mendengarkan musik menghentak. Lakukan sebanyak 300
kali setiap hari.
7. Berayun
Gunakan penahan atau
ambang pintu yang tinggi. Anda dapat membelinya di toko peralatan olahraga. Awali posisi dengan
berdiri lalu biarkan tubuh berayun. Posisi kaki bisa lurus atau ditekuk, buatlah tubuh senyaman
mungkin. Lakukan gerakan ini setidaknya 10 kali dalam sehari.
8. Free
Hand
Berdirilah tegak dalam ruangan yang luas dan tarik napas dalam-dalam.
Angkat tangan letakan di tingkat bahu, lalu dorong tangan sejauh mungkin dan lepaskan napas.
Ulangi 8 -10 kali.
Tarik napas dan kembali memosisikan tangan. Lalu, angkat tumit sambil
berdiri jinjit, hembuskan napas, ulangi 80-10 kali. Tarik napas dan angkat lengan terentang di
atas kepala. Lalu ayunkan ke dalam dengan arah melingkar dan buang napas. Ulangi 80-10 kali.
Pilih salah satu latihan yang paling cocok untuk Anda. Syaratnya harus dilakukan
secara teratur dan konsisten. Cobalah untuk memiliki waktu teratur untuk latihan Anda sehingga
dapat merasakan efeknya.

saco-indonesia.com, Ada kabar yang beredar luas di WhatsApp yang telah menyebutkan jika salah satu aplikasi messenger terbesar di dunia ini akan segera dimatikan pada 28 Januari 2014 karena sudah kelebihan pengguna.
pesan yang telah beredar luas tersebut berbunyi "Whatsapp akan dimatikan pada 28 Januari. Berikut pesan langsung dari Jim Balsamic (CEO Whatsapp). Kami telah mengalami kelebihan penggunaan username pada WhatsApp Messenger. Kami telah meminta semua pengguna untuk dapat meneruskan pesan ini ke seluruh daftar kontak mereka. Jika Anda tidak meneruskan pesan ini, kami akan menganggap akun WhatsApp Anda tidak valid dan akan dihapus dalam 48 jam ke depan."
Selain itu, pesan ini juga telah menyebutkan jika pengguna harus membayar dengan nominal uang tertentu untuk bisa melakukan aktivasi ulang akun WhatsApp-nya.
"Mohon untuk tidak mengabaikan pesan ini atau Whatsapp tidak akan lagi mengenali aktivasi Anda. Jika Anda ingin mengaktifkan kembali akun Anda setelah proses penghentian operasi ini, biaya sebesar USD 25 akan ditambahkan ke tagihan bulanan Anda."
Namun, ternyata pesan ini sendiri hanyalah hoax saja dan bukan merupakan pesan yang resmi dari pihak WhatsApp. Berdasarkan lansiran tersebut, ini juga bukan pertama kalinya pesan hoax beredar di instan messenger WhatsApp. Bahkan pesan hoax yang telah menyebutkan pesan langsung dari CEO WhatsApp ini semakin marak seiring makin populernya WhatsApp di pengguna smartphone saat ini.
Jika Anda mendapatkan pesan tersebut, sebaiknya abaikan saja dan jangan di sebarkan lebih jauh. Hoax ini mungkin tidak berbahaya, namun tetap pesan yang bersifat spam ini akan menjengkelkan setiap penerimanya.

Jika memang berjodoh, ayahanda Bella Shofie, Hamzah Nasution, tidak hanya menganggap Adjie Pangestu sebagai menantu. Tapi akan menerimanya sebagai anaknya sendiri, sekaligus teman yang bisa diajak sharing.
"Kalau saya sih lihatnya bukan menantu. Kalau jodoh anak saya, ya saya anggap seperti anak sendiri, jadi teman sharing," kata Hamzah Nasution ketika dijumpai di Kawasan Ancol, Jakarta Utara, Minggu (2/6) malam.
Meski sudah diterima secara terbuka, bukan berarti dalam waktu dekat Bella akan melanjutkan hubungannya dengan Adjie ke pelaminan. Mereka masih akan melanjutkan beberapa agenda yang harus diselesaikan. "Kalau untuk nikah, nanti dulu ya tapi kalau sudah jodoh mau dibilang apa," tegas Hamzah.
Hal senada juga terlontar oleh Bella. Saat ini masih ingin menikmati perjalanan hubungannya, tapi dia tidak dapat menolak jika Tuhan berkehendak lain. "Kita nggak bisa nolak jodoh juga, kalau memang jodohnya dekat mau gimana lagi. Kalau sekarang sih jalanin saja dulu. Pengenalan juga dan saling support," pungkas Bella. (kpl/aha/dis/dar)

Saco-Indonesia.com - Di zaman serba teknologi ini, anak pasti sudah mengenal keberadaan gadget. Oleh karena itu, orangtua perlu menyiapkan strategi dalam penggunaan gadget secara bijak.
Caranya, menurut psikolog keluarga, Roslina Verauli, MPsi, sebagai orangtua Anda harus membatasi konten yang dapat dilihat oleh anak, dan menggunakan program parental control untuk mencegah anak mengakses situs-situs yang belum pantas dilihatnya.
Orangtua juga perlu menghindari komputer berperan sebagai baby-sitter. Artinya, karena Anda tak sempat mendampingi anak selama masa pertumbuhannya, Anda lantas mengandalkan gadget untuk menemani anak. Anda membiarkan anak sibuk dengan gadget-nya supaya tidak merepotkan Anda. Padahal, justru saat anak memegang gadget itulah Anda terutama harus mendampinginya.
"Jika Anda dapat membatasi apa yang dilihat anak, maka ia pun akan mengetahui manfaat positif dari penggunaan komputer. Anda memiliki peran penting di sini dalam mengasah kemampuan anak dengan baik," paparnya, saat media sharing bersama Intel di Bistronomy, Jakarta, Selasa (30/4/2013) lalu.
Gadget seperti smartphone atau komputer tablet juga harus dikembalikan pada fungsi awalnya, yaitu sebagai perangkat komunikasi sekaligus sebagai sarana belajar, yaitu untuk mendorong anak belajar tentang dunia sekitarnya. Selalu dampingi saat dia sedang mengeksplorasi tabletnya. Gunakan untuk mencari tahu tentang hal-hal yang menarik buatnya, seperti mengenal binatang, museum, dan lain-lain. Ajak diskusi agar anak lebih kritis.
Jangan lupakan bahwa Anda bertindak sebagai model dari apa yang anak lihat. Perilaku orangtua dalam menggunakan komputer menjadi contoh bagi anak. Yang terutama, Anda harus lebih dulu menguasai gadget tersebut karena anak akan banyak bertanya pada Anda.
"Learn before you teach," tambahnya.
Satu hal lain yang perlu Anda ketahui, sebaiknya tidak meletakkan komputer di area kamar tidur. Dengan demikian, anak tidak terus terpaku pada gadget-nya. Seperti juga kasus pada orang dewasa, gadget bisa mencuri waktu tidur anak. Kalau Anda ingin memberikan sesuatu sebagai pengantar tidur, lebih baik Anda menggunakan buku-buku cerita dan membacakan kisah dongengnya untuk anak.
KATHMANDU, Nepal — When the dense pillar of smoke from cremations by the Bagmati River was thinning late last week, the bodies were all coming from Gongabu, a common stopover for Nepali migrant workers headed overseas, and they were all of young men.
Hindu custom dictates that funeral pyres should be lighted by the oldest son of the deceased, but these men were too young to have sons, so they were burned by their brothers or fathers. Sukla Lal, a maize farmer, made a 14-hour journey by bus to retrieve the body of his 19-year-old son, who had been on his way to the Persian Gulf to work as a laborer.
“He wanted to live in the countryside, but he was compelled to leave by poverty,” Mr. Lal said, gazing ahead steadily as his son’s remains smoldered. “He told me, ‘You can live on your land, and I will come up with money, and we will have a happy family.’ ”
Weeks will pass before the authorities can give a complete accounting of who died in the April 25 earthquake, but it is already clear that Nepal cannot afford the losses. The countryside was largely stripped of its healthy young men even before the quake, as they migrated in great waves — 1,500 a day by some estimates — to work as laborers in India, Malaysia or one of the gulf nations, leaving many small communities populated only by elderly parents, women and children. Economists say that at some times of the year, one-quarter of Nepal’s population is working outside the country.

The 2015 Met Gala has only officially begun, but there's a clear leader in the race for best couple, no small feat at an event that threatens to sap Hollywood of every celebrity it has for the duration of an East Coast evening.
That would be Marc Jacobs and his surprise guest (who, by some miracle, remained under wraps until their red carpet debut), Cher.
“This has been a dream of mine for a very, very long time,” Mr. Jacobs said.
It is Cher's first appearance at the Met Gala since 1997, when she arrived on the arm of Donatella Versace.

BALTIMORE — In the afternoons, the streets of Locust Point are clean and nearly silent. In front of the rowhouses, potted plants rest next to steps of brick or concrete. There is a shopping center nearby with restaurants, and a grocery store filled with fresh foods.
And the National Guard and the police are largely absent. So, too, residents say, are worries about what happened a few miles away on April 27 when, in a space of hours, parts of this city became riot zones.
“They’re not our reality,” Ashley Fowler, 30, said on Monday at the restaurant where she works. “They’re not what we’re living right now. We live in, not to be racist, white America.”
As Baltimore considers its way forward after the violent unrest brought by the death of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old black man who died of injuries he suffered while in police custody, residents in its predominantly white neighborhoods acknowledge that they are sometimes struggling to understand what beyond Mr. Gray’s death spurred the turmoil here. For many, the poverty and troubled schools of gritty West Baltimore are distant troubles, glimpsed only when they pass through the area on their way somewhere else.
And so neighborhoods of Baltimore are facing altogether different reckonings after Mr. Gray’s death. In mostly black communities like Sandtown-Winchester, where some of the most destructive rioting played out last week, residents are hoping businesses will reopen and that the police will change their strategies. But in mostly white areas like Canton and Locust Point, some residents wonder what role, if any, they should play in reimagining stretches of Baltimore where they do not live.
“Most of the people are kind of at a loss as to what they’re supposed to do,” said Dr. Richard Lamb, a dentist who has practiced in the same Locust Point office for nearly 39 years. “I listen to the news reports. I listen to the clergymen. I listen to the facts of the rampant unemployment and the lack of opportunities in the area. Listen, I pay my taxes. Exactly what can I do?”
And in Canton, where the restaurants have clever names like Nacho Mama’s and Holy Crepe Bakery and Café, Sara Bahr said solutions seemed out of reach for a proudly liberal city.
“I can only imagine how frustrated they must be,” said Ms. Bahr, 36, a nurse who was out with her 3-year-old daughter, Sally. “I just wish I knew how to solve poverty. I don’t know what to do to make it better.”
The day of unrest and the overwhelmingly peaceful demonstrations that followed led to hundreds of arrests, often for violations of the curfew imposed on the city for five consecutive nights while National Guard soldiers patrolled the streets. Although there were isolated instances of trouble in Canton, the neighborhood association said on its website, many parts of southeast Baltimore were physically untouched by the tumult.
Tensions in the city bubbled anew on Monday after reports that the police had wounded a black man in Northwest Baltimore. The authorities denied those reports and sent officers to talk with the crowds that gathered while other officers clutching shields blocked traffic at Pennsylvania and West North Avenues.
Lt. Col. Melvin Russell, a community police officer, said officers had stopped a man suspected of carrying a handgun and that “one of those rounds was spent.”
Colonel Russell said officers had not opened fire, “so we couldn’t have shot him.”
The colonel said the man had not been injured but was taken to a hospital as a precaution. Nearby, many people stood in disbelief, despite the efforts by the authorities to quash reports they described as “unfounded.”
Monday’s episode was a brief moment in a larger drama that has yielded anger and confusion. Although many people said they were familiar with accounts of the police harassing or intimidating residents, many in Canton and Locust Point said they had never experienced it themselves. When they watched the unrest, which many protesters said was fueled by feelings that they lived only on Baltimore’s margins, even those like Ms. Bahr who were pained by what they saw said they could scarcely comprehend the emotions associated with it.
But others, like Lambi Vasilakopoulos, who runs a casual restaurant in Canton, said they were incensed by what unfolded last week.
“What happened wasn’t called for. Protests are one thing; looting is another thing,” he said, adding, “We’re very frustrated because we’re the ones who are going to pay for this.”
There were pockets of optimism, though, that Baltimore would enter a period of reconciliation.
“I’m just hoping for peace,” Natalie Boies, 53, said in front of the Locust Point home where she has lived for 50 years. “Learn to love each other; be patient with each other; find justice; and care.”
A skeptical Mr. Vasilakopoulos predicted tensions would worsen.
“It cannot be fixed,” he said. “It’s going to get worse. Why? Because people don’t obey the laws. They don’t want to obey them.”
But there were few fears that the violence that plagued West Baltimore last week would play out on these relaxed streets. The authorities, Ms. Fowler said, would make sure of that.
“They kept us safe here,” she said. “I didn’t feel uncomfortable when I was in my house three blocks away from here. I knew I was going to be O.K. because I knew they weren’t going to let anyone come and loot our properties or our businesses or burn our cars.”

UNITED NATIONS — Wearing pinstripes and a pince-nez, Staffan de Mistura, the United Nations envoy for Syria, arrived at the Security Council one Tuesday afternoon in February and announced that President Bashar al-Assad had agreed to halt airstrikes over Aleppo. Would the rebels, Mr. de Mistura suggested, agree to halt their shelling?
What he did not announce, but everyone knew by then, was that the Assad government had begun a military offensive to encircle opposition-held enclaves in Aleppo and that fierce fighting was underway. It would take only a few days for rebel leaders, having pushed back Syrian government forces, to outright reject Mr. de Mistura’s proposed freeze in the fighting, dooming the latest diplomatic overture on Syria.
Diplomacy is often about appearing to be doing something until the time is ripe for a deal to be done.
Now, with Mr. Assad’s forces having suffered a string of losses on the battlefield and the United States reaching at least a partial rapprochement with Mr. Assad’s main backer, Iran, Mr. de Mistura is changing course. Starting Monday, he is set to hold a series of closed talks in Geneva with the warring sides and their main supporters. Iran will be among them.
In an interview at United Nations headquarters last week, Mr. de Mistura hinted that the changing circumstances, both military and diplomatic, may have prompted various backers of the war to question how much longer the bloodshed could go on.
“Will that have an impact in accelerating the willingness for a political solution? We need to test it,” he said. “The Geneva consultations may be a good umbrella for testing that. It’s an occasion for asking everyone, including the government, if there is any new way that they are looking at a political solution, as they too claim they want.”
He said he would have a better assessment at the end of June, when he expects to wrap up his consultations. That coincides with the deadline for a final agreement in the Iran nuclear talks.
Whether a nuclear deal with Iran will pave the way for a new opening on peace talks in Syria remains to be seen. Increasingly, though, world leaders are explicitly linking the two, with the European Union’s top diplomat, Federica Mogherini, suggesting last week that a nuclear agreement could spur Tehran to play “a major but positive role in Syria.”
It could hardly come soon enough. Now in its fifth year, the Syrian war has claimed 220,000 lives, prompted an exodus of more than three million refugees and unleashed jihadist groups across the region. “This conflict is producing a question mark in many — where is it leading and whether this can be sustained,” Mr. de Mistura said.
Part Italian, part Swedish, Mr. de Mistura has worked with the United Nations for more than 40 years, but he is more widely known for his dapper style than for any diplomatic coups. Syria is by far the toughest assignment of his career — indeed, two of the organization’s most seasoned diplomats, Lakhdar Brahimi and Kofi Annan, tried to do the job and gave up — and critics have wondered aloud whether Mr. de Mistura is up to the task.
He served as a United Nations envoy in Afghanistan and Iraq, and before that in Lebanon, where a former minister recalled, with some scorn, that he spent many hours sunbathing at a private club in the hills above Beirut. Those who know him say he has a taste for fine suits and can sometimes speak too soon and too much, just as they point to his diplomatic missteps and hyperbole.
They cite, for instance, a news conference in October, when he raised the specter of Srebrenica, where thousands of Muslims were massacred in 1995 during the Balkans war, in warning that the Syrian border town of Kobani could fall to the Islamic State. In February, he was photographed at a party in Damascus, the Syrian capital, celebrating the anniversary of the Iranian revolution just as Syrian forces, aided by Iran, were pummeling rebel-held suburbs of Damascus; critics seized on that as evidence of his coziness with the government.
Mouin Rabbani, who served briefly as the head of Mr. de Mistura’s political affairs unit and has since emerged as one of his most outspoken critics, said Mr. de Mistura did not have the background necessary for the job. “This isn’t someone well known for his political vision or political imagination, and his closest confidants lack the requisite knowledge and experience,” Mr. Rabbani said.
As a deputy foreign minister in the Italian government, Mr. de Mistura was tasked in 2012 with freeing two Italian marines detained in India for shooting at Indian fishermen. He made 19 trips to India, to little effect. One marine was allowed to return to Italy for medical reasons; the other remains in India.
He said he initially turned down the Syria job when the United Nations secretary general approached him last August, only to change his mind the next day, after a sleepless, guilt-ridden night.
Mr. de Mistura compared his role in Syria to that of a doctor faced with a terminally ill patient. His goal in brokering a freeze in the fighting, he said, was to alleviate suffering. He settled on Aleppo as the location for its “fame,” he said, a decision that some questioned, considering that Aleppo was far trickier than the many other lesser-known towns where activists had negotiated temporary local cease-fires.
“Everybody, at least in Europe, are very familiar with the value of Aleppo,” Mr. de Mistura said. “So I was using that as an icebreaker.”
The cease-fire negotiations, to which he had devoted six months, fell apart quickly because of the government’s military offensive in Aleppo the very day of his announcement at the Security Council. Privately, United Nations diplomats said Mr. de Mistura had been manipulated. To this, Mr. de Mistura said only that he was “disappointed and concerned.”
Tarek Fares, a former rebel fighter, said after a recent visit to Aleppo that no Syrian would admit publicly to supporting Mr. de Mistura’s cease-fire proposal. “If anyone said they went to a de Mistura meeting in Gaziantep, they would be arrested,” is how he put it, referring to the Turkish city where negotiations between the two sides were held.
Secretary General Ban Ki-moon remains staunchly behind Mr. de Mistura’s efforts. His defenders point out that he is at the center of one of the world’s toughest diplomatic problems, charged with mediating a conflict in which two of the world’s most powerful nations — Russia, which supports Mr. Assad, and the United States, which has called for his ouster — remain deadlocked.
R. Nicholas Burns, a former State Department official who now teaches at Harvard, credited Mr. de Mistura for trying to negotiate a cease-fire even when the chances of success were exceedingly small — and the chances of a political deal even smaller. For his efforts to work, Professor Burns argued, the world powers will first have to come to an agreement of their own.
“He needs the help of outside powers,” he said. “It starts with backers of Assad. That’s Russia and Iran. De Mistura is there, waiting.”

GREENWICH, Conn. — Mago is in the bedroom. You can go in.
The big man lies on a hospital bed with his bare feet scraping its bottom rail. His head is propped on a scarlet pillow, the left temple dented, the right side paralyzed. His dark hair is kept just long enough to conceal the scars.
The occasional sounds he makes are understood only by his wife, but he still has that punctuating left hand. In slow motion, the fingers curl and close. A thumbs-up greeting.
Hello, Mago.
This is Magomed Abdusalamov, 34, also known as the Russian Tyson, also known as Mago. He is a former heavyweight boxer who scored four knockouts and 14 technical knockouts in his first 18 professional fights. He preferred to stand between rounds. Sitting conveyed weakness.
But Mago lost his 19th fight, his big chance, at the packed Theater at Madison Square Garden in November 2013. His 19th decision, and his last.
Now here he is, in a small bedroom in a working-class neighborhood in Greenwich, in a modest house his family rents cheap from a devoted friend. The air-pressure machine for his mattress hums like an expectant crowd.
Today is like any other day, except for those days when he is hurried in crisis to the hospital. Every three hours during the night, his slight wife, Bakanay, 28, has risen to turn his 6-foot-3 body — 210 pounds of dead weight. It has to be done. Infections of the gaping bedsore above his tailbone have nearly killed him.
Then, with the help of a young caretaker, Baka has gotten two of their daughters off to elementary school and settled down the toddler. Yes, Mago and Baka are blessed with all girls, but they had also hoped for a son someday.
They feed Mago as they clean him; it’s easier that way. For breakfast, which comes with a side of crushed antiseizure pills, he likes oatmeal with a squirt of Hershey’s chocolate syrup. But even oatmeal must be puréed and fed to him by spoon.
He opens his mouth to indicate more, the way a baby does. But his paralysis has made everything a choking hazard. His water needs a stirring of powdered food thickener, and still he chokes — eh-eh-eh — as he tries to cough up what will not go down.
Mago used to drink only water. No alcohol. Not even soda. A sip of juice would be as far as he dared. Now even water betrays him.
With the caretaker’s help, Baka uses a washcloth and soap to clean his body and shampoo his hair. How handsome still, she has thought. Sometimes, in the night, she leaves the bedroom to watch old videos, just to hear again his voice in the fullness of life. She cries, wipes her eyes and returns, feigning happiness. Mago must never see her sad.
When Baka finishes, Mago is cleanshaven and fresh down to his trimmed and filed toenails. “I want him to look good,” she says.
Theirs was an arranged Muslim marriage in Makhachkala, in the Russian republic of Dagestan. He was 23, she was 18 and their future hinged on boxing. Sometimes they would shadowbox in love, her David to his Goliath. You are so strong, he would tell her.
His father once told him he could either be a bandit or an athlete, but if he chose banditry, “I will kill you.” This paternal advice, Mago later told The Ventura County Reporter, “made it a very easy decision for me.”
Mago won against mediocre competition, in Moscow and Hollywood, Fla., in Las Vegas and Johnstown, Pa. He was knocked down only once, and even then, it surprised more than hurt. He scored a technical knockout in the next round.
It all led up to this: the undercard at the Garden, Mike Perez vs. Magomed Abdusalamov, 10 rounds, on HBO. A win, he believed, would improve his chances of taking on the heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko, who sat in the crowd of 4,600 with his fiancée, the actress Hayden Panettiere, watching.
Wearing black-and-red trunks and a green mouth guard, Mago went to work. But in the first round, a hard forearm to his left cheek rocked him. At the bell, he returned to his corner, and this time, he sat down. “I think it’s broken,” he repeatedly said in Russian.
Maybe at that point, somebody — the referee, the ringside doctors, his handlers — should have stopped the fight, under a guiding principle: better one punch too early than one punch too late. But the bloody trade of blows continued into the seventh, eighth, ninth, a hand and orbital bone broken, his face transforming.
Meanwhile, in the family’s apartment in Miami, Baka forced herself to watch the broadcast. She could see it in his swollen eyes. Something was off.
After the final round, Perez raised his tattooed arms in victory, and Mago wandered off in a fog. He had taken 312 punches in about 40 minutes, for a purse of $40,000.
In the locker room, doctors sutured a cut above Mago’s left eye and tested his cognitive abilities. He did not do well. The ambulance that waits in expectation at every fight was not summoned by boxing officials.
Blood was pooling in Mago’s cranial cavity as he left the Garden. He vomited on the pavement while his handlers flagged a taxi to St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital. There, doctors induced a coma and removed part of his skull to drain fluids and ease the swelling.
Then came the stroke.
It is lunchtime now, and the aroma of puréed beef and potatoes lingers. So do the questions.
How will Mago and Baka pay the $2 million in medical bills they owe? What if their friend can no longer offer them this home? Will they win their lawsuits against the five ringside doctors, the referee, and a New York State boxing inspector? What about Mago’s future care?
Most of all: Is this it?
A napkin rests on Mago’s chest. As another spoonful of mush approaches, he opens his mouth, half-swallows, chokes, and coughs until it clears. Eh-eh-eh. Sometimes he turns bluish, but Baka never shows fear. Always happy for Mago.
Some days he is wheeled out for physical therapy or speech therapy. Today, two massage therapists come to knead his half-limp body like a pair of skilled corner men.
Soon, Mago will doze. Then his three daughters, ages 2, 6 and 9, will descend upon him to talk of their day. Not long ago, the oldest lugged his championship belt to school for a proud show-and-tell moment. Her classmates were amazed at the weight of it.
Then, tonight, there will be more puréed food and pulverized medication, more coughing, and more tender care from his wife, before sleep comes.
Goodbye, Mago.
He half-smiles, raises his one good hand, and forms a fist.

WASHINGTON — During a training course on defending against knife attacks, a young Salt Lake City police officer asked a question: “How close can somebody get to me before I’m justified in using deadly force?”
Dennis Tueller, the instructor in that class more than three decades ago, decided to find out. In the fall of 1982, he performed a rudimentary series of tests and concluded that an armed attacker who bolted toward an officer could clear 21 feet in the time it took most officers to draw, aim and fire their weapon.
The next spring, Mr. Tueller published his findings in SWAT magazine and transformed police training in the United States. The “21-foot rule” became dogma. It has been taught in police academies around the country, accepted by courts and cited by officers to justify countless shootings, including recent episodes involving a homeless woodcarver in Seattle and a schizophrenic woman in San Francisco.
Now, amid the largest national debate over policing since the 1991 beating of Rodney King in Los Angeles, a small but vocal set of law enforcement officials are calling for a rethinking of the 21-foot rule and other axioms that have emphasized how to use force, not how to avoid it. Several big-city police departments are already re-examining when officers should chase people or draw their guns and when they should back away, wait or try to defuse the situation
