Robert Irwin is a typical teenage boy, who enjoys mountain biking and photography. He also lives in a large zoo.

Robert, the son of the late “Crocodile Hunter” star Steve Irwin, is now taking center stage in “Crikey! It’s the Irwins, ” a new series on Animal Planet.

“We’ve worked on quite a few different TV projects, but this is actually the first time my whole family has come back to Animal Planet together, so it’s pretty unusual, ”says Robert.

Premiering(首映)at 8 p.m. on Sunday, “Crikey! ” follows the Irwins as they run the 100-acre Australia Zoo, founded by Steve Irwin’s parents. Steve owned and ran the zoo before he died in 2006.

“We’ve always grown up in front of a camera. Bindi, my sister, and I were both filmed for some of the original ‘Crocodile Hunter’ documentaries, ”says Robert.

“I’m very lucky in the way that I’ve had so much of my life captured on camera, so as the memories you have of Dad start to fade, you can always look back at the old footage and relive those special moments, ” he says.

“Crikey! It’s the Irwins” has some footage of Steve. The most exciting part of the premiere involves Robert leading the “ Croc Show" at the zoo’s “ Crocoseum, ”a 5,500-seat stadium Steve built to give crocodile performances and educate visitors about crocodile behavior.

Of course, running a zoo doesn’t leave much time for school, so Robert participates in Distance Education, a program similar to homeschooling. “School can be difficult for me to fit in, ” he says. “But I've actually got a classroom that’s set up at Australia Zoo and a teacher that travels with us wherever we go, so I can fit in all of my studies. ”

Robert continues, “I’m learning as much as I can about all of the animals and all of the work at Australia Zoo. I feel really honored to be following in Dad’s footsteps. I love continuing that work. ”

There are several factors that influence how long it takes to see results of weight loss, including the type of exercise program; how often; your nutrition and so on. Personal trainer, Chris Leach, says that “to get in shape, you first need to define what that actually means to you.”

However, “The phrase’ weight quickly lost is usually quickly regained holds a lot of truth.” Leach adds. This is because rapid weight loss is caused by undereating, overtraining, or both.

Usually, this type of workout and nutrition schedule is rigid and unsustainable. “You’ll see rapid results right off the bat but after a few weeks or months, you’ll almost always become weak, tired, and hungry,” says Leach. “That will likely result in stopping your program and losing the results, as well.”

The best way to avoid this trap is to do a workout program you can commit to long-term.

Put plainly, the time, effort, and consistency you devote to your workout goals determine how fast you achieve them.

“If you do five workouts a week, spend a couple of hours prepping meals, and get eight to nine hours of sleep every night, you’ll see results much faster than if you only work out sparingly (节俭地) and don’t have as much time to sleep, recover, or work on your nutrition,” says Leach. “A good starting point is to aim for three to five hours of workouts per week to see results within roughly two to three months.”

The type of workouts dictates how long it takes to see results as well as the type of results you`ll see.

* Cardio (有氧运动): running, swimming, cycling, walking, and dancing which can improve heart health and burn calories

* Strength training: circuit training, powerlifting, bodyweight training, and CrossFit which can help build muscle and boost metabolism

Cardio results typically app ear quicker than results from strength training because it’s often easier for people to lose weight than gain muscle. “The typical human body can only synthesize (合成) around 1-2 pounds of muscle per month at most, but it’s physiologically possible to burn a lot more fat during the same amount of time,” Leach says.

However, it takes longer to lose the benefits of strength training compared to cardio works. Muscle loss typically takes about 2-3 weeks if you’re not using them at all, whereas you can gain 1-2 pounds of weight a week if you start eating more calories than you burn.

Just by typing a few keywords and waiting a few seconds, a picture comparable to that painted by a human artist appears on screen.

AI art generators have seemingly swept the Chinese Internet. In some paintings created by AI, an elderly man can be shown as a young animated image, and pets can be turned into adorable cartoon girls or boys.

Huang Ge, an illustrator from Shanghai, said that it usually takes him several hours or days to complete one illustration. But with AI art generators, the efficiency is greatly improved. “Also, the generators have many modification (修改) modes, and the picture can be modified directly in the painting software,” he added. Ding Jiao, a comic artist, considers the popularity of AI art generator s reasonable as many people who are not good at drawing can create great works through them.

So is Al painting gradually replacing human painting? In the hot topic “Using a picture to prove that human artists will never be replaced by Al” online, many netizens uploaded their paintings to prove that humans are better than AI. “Though Al technology has developed rapidly, AI cannot fully replace humans. The warmth and inspiration in human creations are irreplaceable,” said Ding Daoshi, an independent analyst.

Another controversial issue is that there is no consensus (共识) of who owns the copyright of AI art. Some users have openly sold their AI paintings and earned money, but it is still a gray area about whether these artworks belong to users, the digital tool developers or even AI.

Ding Daoshi noted that the various sides should get together to debate the issue and come up with some accepted rules as soon as possible because AI is already penetrating deeply into the lives of human beings.
