Joining a student club is a wonderful way to develop new skills and make good friends. Our university offers strong support for student organizations that make campus life more enjoyable. You can start different types of clubs, including study groups, art clubs, sports teams, and community service organizations.

Establishment Process

First, gather the required number of members for your club type. Next, complete the registration forms that describe your club's goals and activities. Finally, attend a meeting where you will learn how to manage your club. The whole process usually takes 2-3 weeks.

Club Requirements

Before starting your club, please review the following requirements:

Financial Help

Approved clubs can apply for annual funding ranging from $500 to $2000 to support major events or special community projects. In addition, each club collects an annual membership fee, shared equally among all members, to cover routine minor expenses.

Available Resources

Clubs can use meeting rooms and borrow equipment for their activities. Teachers will provide guidance throughout the school year. These resources are quite helpful. For example, the Green Earth Club started last semester and now has over 50 members who regularly organize environmental activities. Visit the Student Activities Office in Room 205 from Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM for help.

This initial interest led him to pursue formal training in furniture making and restoration. It was during this period that he truly understood the depth of the craft. He learned not only the skills, but also the patience and respect for the material. For John, restoration was far more than simple repair; it was a process of uncovering history. Each piece of furniture, with its unique scratches and wear, told a story of past times. He felt a sense of responsibility to preserve these stories for the future.

After finishing his training, John started his own workshop. His days are now spent bringing damaged and aging furniture back to its former glory. The work is challenging, requiring careful analysis and a steady hand. However, the greatest reward comes from the emotional connection he builds with his clients. Often, they bring items of great emotional value — a grandmother's favorite chair or a table around which a family has gathered for decades. Seeing their joyful reactions upon seeing a cherished piece restored is, for John, the most satisfying part of his job.

Looking back, John feels he has found his true calling. He has built a meaningful career by doing the work he truly loves, combining his hands-on skill with a deep appreciation for history and family memories. He believes that in our fast-paced world, the act of restoring and valuing well-made old objects is a powerful statement. It's a reminder of quality, sustainability, and the lasting stories that connect us all.

Many experts have offered that growing obesity rates are due to declining physical activity as societies develop. However, a new study led by researchers from Duke University points instead to higher calorie intake as the main cause. Their findings suggest that diet rather than laziness plays the bigger role in the global obesity crisis.

The researchers looked at thousands of measurements of daily total energy consumption, body fat percentage and body mass index (BMI) from adults aged 18 to 60 across 34 countries. Over 4,200 adults included in the study came from a wide range of lifestyles and economies. To further classify the level of industrialization, they also integrated data from the United Nations Human Development Index (HDI) to include measures of lifespan (寿命), income and education.

"Our results showed something interesting. When we compared groups, changes in how much energy people consume did not fully explain why body fat went up. Only part of the rise in body fat could be linked to lower energy consumption. This suggests that other factors, such as dietary changes, are driving the increases in body fat that we see with increasing economic growth," says Amanda McGrosky, a lead investigator for the study.

The researchers hope the study helps deal with the obesity crisis and makes clear that the findings do not mean that efforts to promote physical activity should be reduced. On the contrary, the research suggests that both diet and exercise deserve equal priority. Building on this conclusion, researchers will next work to find out which aspects of diet in developed countries are to blame for the rise in obesity.

Solar wind is a continuous stream of charged particles (带电粒子) from the Sun. Its density (密度) and speed change during periods of solar activity. When these particles speed up, they can cause "space weather" events thatdisrupt Earth's atmosphere and drag satellites out of orbit, damage their electronic equipment, and cause power problems on Earth. In 2022, one such unexpectedly strong solar wind event caused SpaceX to lose forty Starlink satellites shortly after launch, showing the urgent need for better forecasts.

The research team, led by Dattaraj Dhuri and Shravan Hanasoge, trained their AI model using high-resolution (高分辨率) images from Solar Dynamics Observatory, combined with historical records of solar wind. Instead of analyzing texts, like today's popular AI language models, the system analyzes images of the Sun to identify patterns linked to solar wind changes. This new method improves forecast accuracy by 45 percent compared to current models and 20 percent over past AI-based approaches.

Dr. Dhuri, the lead researcher, stated that this is a major step forward in protecting the satellites, navigation systems, and power networks that modern life depends on. By combining advanced AI with solar observations, scientists can now give early warnings to protect critical technology on Earth and in space.

The breakthrough shows how AI can help solve a tough problem in space science: predicting the solar wind. With more reliable forecasts, scientists and engineers can better prepare for space weather events, keeping critical networks safe.

One standout was the AI music device, shown for the first time by Shanghai Conservatory of Music. It offers a peaceful and personalized healing experience through advanced technology. Users first wear devices like EEG headsets and HRV sensors. . And music featuring natural sounds envelops them, providing a peaceful escape from the outside world.

The experience begins with a personalized questionnaire to collect personal data. . The information helps an AI model create a multisensory experience with matching visuals. Afterward, users receive a detailed report and a personalized music prescription (处方). "The system improves attention, helps relax and keeps heart rate steady," Li explains.

Li also says the device combines technology and art. . Research on turning brainwaves into sound began in the late 20th century, but AI now allows quick analysis of personal traits and real-time sound creation. "People's responses to sound need high-level thinking," Li notes, "and AI handles the large amount of data needed".

Experts point out three key breakthroughs of the device: a music-matching algorithm (算法), based on body data, dynamic personal plans, and combining different fields. . It is being tested in hospitals to help autistic (自闭症) children, ease pain and assist students with exam anxiety.

A. The conference showcased how AI is changing healthcare.

B. Then they lie in special chairs and see their body data on a screen.

C. Users provide details about their health status, birth date and so on.

D. The device has shown good results for sleep disorders and depression.

E. The innovation aims to bring music therapy to a wider range of people.

F. It was developed after many years of research at the experimental center.

G. Such technology could change how we find and treat mental health problems.

Known for its fantastic red rocks and green plains, the park1 a large number of visitors, including Rebecca. It has another2 — the wild bison, which were not on her radar (认知). Until suddenly, they were.

Rebecca was walking back down a path when she3 a group of bison. They were moving slowly, so she decided to4 them — closer than the recommended safety distance. As she passed the animals, she5 the moment on her smartphone.

Things got6 very quickly when one of the bison, apparently7, took notice. "I saw him turn," Rebecca recalled, "and8 I knew he was going to come after me." She made a9 attempt to run away, but it was too late. The large animal10 from behind and knocked her down, its horn (角) cutting deep into her body.

11, Rebecca was still awake and able to move. She managed to text her son and two friends for help. Shortly after, she was12 to the hospital, where she stayed for six days, receiving intensive13 care.

Rebecca shared her video on social media so others could learn from her14. "The best way to coexist with wild animals is to keep a(n)15 distance from them," she posted.

China's consumer market is experiencing a significant transformation, (drive) largely by the growing emphasis on emotional satisfaction among the younger generation. It is now increasingly common to see young consumers lining up in malls, not for daily necessities like food or household items, but for products and services (deliver) psychological satisfaction. A typical example is the (extreme) popular Labubu blind-box toys, which have developed into a cultural phenomenon since their release. It even leads to global shortages, appealing to the youth's desire emotional comfort and social expression. This trend reflects a profound shift in consumption values. traditional economic theory places emphasis on reasoning, young consumers, especially Gen Z, (motivate) by emotional values. Studies show that cute and playful (design), such as those of Labubu, activate the brain's pleasure centers and pathways associated with pleasure, thereby generating instant (happy) and reducing stress in today's fast-paced, high-pressure life. Moreover, sharing unboxing experiences online strengthens interpersonal connections creates a sense of belonging. Obviously, emotional value has become an important factor in purchasing decisions. The change points toward a more balanced consumption ecosystem emotional well-being is as important as functional quality.

This summer, I changed schools. Not because I disliked my old one — in fact, I loved it. It was where I spent every day with my band together. But my Dad's job required us to move to another city. I was really upset.

Saying goodbye to my bandmates broke my heart. We started it two years ago and named it Rainbow. Lucy was the lead singer; her voice was clear, warm, and full of emotion. Jason played the bass (贝斯), Tim the drums, and I the guitar. We had been preparing for a street performance this autumn and had practiced for long. But before summer even fully ended, I had to leave.

"Don't be sad," Lucy tried to comfort me. "Maybe you'll start a new band." But her words made me even sadder. How could any other band replace Rainbow?

Actually, my new school was nice. The teachers and classmates were welcoming, and the campus was modern and well-equipped. I met some kids who played different instruments with pretty good skills, but they just reminded me of the happy old days with Rainbow. Lucy told me they still hadn't found a new guitarist. Maybe it was not easy to replace me either.

Winter approached. One day I got Lucy's message, telling me she was coming to my city to see me. I jumped for joy. We planned to meet at a downtown café on Sunday morning. She asked me to bring my guitar — of course I would. The week passed incredibly slowly until Sunday finally came. I took my guitar and rushed to the café. You can imagine how we hugged and screamed and cried. Suddenly, I heard familiar drumming around the corner of the street, accompanied by the low-end bass. I followed the sound and, couldn't believe my eyes — it was Jason and Tim! They winked (眨眼) and smiled at me, cheerfully inviting me to join.
