In the latest beauty craze(狂热)sweeping social media in China,women--and even some men--are boasting that they are paper thin,by posting photographs of their waists behind a vertical(垂直)piece of A4 paper.To qualify,the waist must be entirely hidden by the paper.A piece of A4 paper is 8.3 by ll.7 inches,roughly the size of a sheet of American letter paper.

With the A4 Waist,the trend is attracting hundreds of photographs and thousands of comments on Weibo and other social media networks like Weixin or WeChat.Being abnormally thin is a widespread standard of beauty for women,one that has been criticized as an unhealthy ideal of female attractiveness.

The tiny waist has a long tradition in China,going back at least t King Ling of Chu,who ruled from 540 t 529 B.C.Many in China know the passage from the Book of Han,the history of the Western Han Dynasty:“The King of Chu loved a narrow waist.Many people at court starved t death.’’

Several commentators have found the A4 trend disturbin.In a telephone interview,He Xiaobin,senior fashion features editor at the Chinese edition of GQ magazine,said,“I find it completely stupid.Everybody has a different frame and body shape.Using a single size to defne all human beings and thinking you have created a new standard is foolish.’’The A4 waist challenge annoyed him,saying that it allows certain people to gain bragging rights,while leaving others in depression.

Luckily,some who do not qualify are turning to humor for comfort.Can they substitute different paper size,such as A3,which is 7 inches across? Or measure a body part besides the waist?

Long before the scientific world became concerned about the impacts of introducing nonnative species,a total of l00 starlings(八哥)were released in New York City’s Central Park.Eugene Schieffelin was a Shakespeare lover who wanted to bring to America as manv birds as possible mentioned by the Bard in his poems.He imported 60 starlings and released them on a March day in Central Park.A year later,he introduced an additional 40 birds.

Within 50 years,they had spread to every state,and today they number an estimated 200 million.In San Diego County,the starling seems at home in both urban and agricultural environments,frequently feeding on the ground,where it probes lawns and fields for insects,worms and snails.

Nesting begins in March and peaks in May when the young birds join large flocks in places like Lake Henshaw,dairy farms or Ramona Grasslands.They frequently take over the nest of other birds,and they don’t seem particular,having been observed nesting in many kinds of trees.

In addition to competing with native species for food and nesting locations,there have been estimates that starlings cause at least MYM00 million in crop damage annually.Much of the damage they cause is the result of their concentrations.Massive flocks of birds arethough beautiful,can be destructive,even dangerous to aircraft,with more than 800 incidents reported by the Federal Aviation Administration.

Despite their bad press,the starling is popular with bird—watchers and also the Shakespeare lovers,who often refer to the starling probably because the bird is quite an imitator.It can imitate the calls of up t 20 other species,including hawks,robins and flickers.

Love him or hate him,Schieffelin’s release of 00 European starlings had a lasting impact in the United States.He had no idea that he also proved the famous words of Shakespeare.“What’s done cannot be undone.’’
