Only 366 North Atlantic right whales are left, representing a shocking 8% decline in a single year and the lowest number in about 20 years for this famous species. Human impacts—specifically fishing nets and ship strikes —remain the biggest threats to the survival of this species in eastern Canada and the United States.

North Atlantic right whales have been in decline since 2011 when the species was at an estimated 481. In the past decade, it has decreased by 30%. Recent research shows these threats are affecting their overall health with less energy to devote toward growth and reproduction (繁殖), and body lengths reducing over the past four decades. Researchers estimate there are fewer than 100 breeding (繁育的) females alive and more than 86% of identified whales had been entangled (被网困住) at least once in their lifetime.

There is still hope: in 2021, scientists tracked 18 mother-kid pairs, a number that is cause for optimism—though still well below the annual average of 23 pairs from the previous decade.

Industry representatives, government agencies, and organizations, including WWF, gathered in October 2021 at the annual North Atlantic Right Whale Association meeting to discuss and arrange right whale conservation efforts in the US and Canada.

“It's going to be challenging, but everyone involved in right whale conservation believes we can create an environment where right whales can bounce back,” said Chris Johnson, the global leader for WWF's Protecting Whales and Dolphins initiative. “However, it's going to take significant investment and the greatest urgency and commitment to create conditions where we prevent entanglements and collisions with ship in the whales' critical habitats.”

Sean McCarthy didn't expect to be fighting tears his very first day as a volunteer for OHM (Open Heart Magic). As one of more than 60 volunteer “Hospital Magicians,” he's learned since then anything happens when you devote your time and heart to helping others - and passes this sense of hope and wonder on to each sick child he visits.

OHM uses the therapeutic (治疗的) power of magic and laughter to help energize and strengthen seriously ill children in Chicago area hospitals.

Why magic? According to OHM, scientific studies suggest the benefits of magic as a tool to gain trust, relieve tension, enhance cognitive (认知) function and more.

For Sean, making the commitment to become a Hospital Magician was simple. “I trust the mission of the organization, interviewed, and went through 13 weeks of training to become a Hospital Magician,” he says.

“An unbelievable thing happened to me on my first day by myself at the hospital,” he relates. The first patient was a 10-year-old boy. Sean walked into the boy's room and his parents were standing by his bed. As taught, Sean introduced himself and said he was with OHM. He asked if the boy wanted to see some magic.

Sean performed 3-4 tricks. When finished, he thanked them and noticed all of them smiling. They all thanked Sean for stopping by as he walked out of the room. Walking down the hall, Sean thought, “Wow, that was a really great experience for my first room on my first day!”

Sean was absolutely floored. “I think I managed to say, ‘Thank you', but that's about all I could get out as I felt myself starting to well up,” he remembers. “I knew we would impact the kids and their families during difficult times, but I never expected to see it so soon.”

Sean was addicted to it. He talks about how that first night was not the exception, but the norm. He's had similar inspiring, incredible experiences throughout the last six months as a Hospital Magician.

The key to a happy life has nothing to do with getting ahead at work, making money, or traveling the world. Instead, living your best life and creating meaning is all about one thing: relationships.

A study of adult development has been running at Harvard since 1938, and is now on its second generation of participants—the children of the original study's subjects. Over decades, the research team collected data about their lives, including their physical and mental health, marital (婚姻的) status and quality, career happiness, etc.

They found the most important aspect in how happy and healthy these men were over time was their relationships. In other words: Finding happiness in life is all about the people you love.

The research doesn't only include romantic relationships and marriage. Quality, close relationships are important whether they are in the situation of romantic relationships or closeness between friends or family members. The kind of relationship you have is less important than how close you feel with them.

However, the study only included men, and important gender differences exist in how people experience relationships. Some research suggests that men may benefit more from marriage. But they tend to have a harder time keeping friendships; as men get older, they will more likely say they have nobody to discuss important subjects with. So it's possible that having close relationships throughout their lives might affect men differently than women.

The findings line up with the effects of loneliness. People who are socially isolated have a greater likelihood of strokes (中风), heart attacks, and higher blood pressure, not to mention mental health issues.

Unfortunately for the youngest generations, recent surveys found that young Americans are lonelier than older generations. That will likely have a big impact on how healthy and happy people feel throughout their lives.

This summer I had a nice vacation in the country. Every day, after the breakfast, I would go out with my new friends there play the game of “cat and mouse” in the fields. Sometimes I will help my grandma with some farm work. Every afternoon, my friend and I would go swimming in a very shallower river near the house. At night I would sit outside the house and my grandfather. They told me a lot of interesting stories. One thing I liked mostly was to look into the night sky. The stars was so bright. I have never seen such bright stars in the city.
