Recently, a traditional village in China has been transformed into a modern eco-resort that offers many activities and spaces. Architects Jones and Jack from HIMMdesign have redesigned the Saeseur eco-tourist village (use) the "One Belt, One Road" strategy. This strategy (focus) on connections and cooperation between China and other countries.

(locate) near Chongqing city, the project is the starting point of the Silk Road economic belt. Chongqing is also key point for the 21st-century Oceanic Silk Road connects China's inland areas with the rest of the world. Combining an element from local architecture and taking advantage of a special landscape, the team divided the various buildings and facilities into categories housing, entertainment, art etc.

The design combines traditional and modern elements, with references to the silk industry and raw silk production.

Many businessmen often underestimate the importance of nonverbal communication — which is often half the message. Imagine how much more effective your next meeting with your boss could be if only you give your nonverbal communication a little attention. These four tips can help you avoid that common mistake so you can use your body language to gain an advantage in your career.

Triple Nod to Show You're Engaged

One way you can do this non-verbally is to use the triple head nod. Three quick, small nods in a row is the nonverbal sign for "tell me more" or "I hear you, explain." It is a great way to show that you are interested and involved.

Don't Underestimate the Power of the Hands

Our hands speak volumes about who we are. Our brain pays attention to hands more than any other body part because we have evolved to look at them as a safety tool to make sure people won't attack us. Whenever you have meetings, keep your hands above the table.

Stop Using Nervous Behaviors

Learn to stop displaying nervous body language so you don't risk appearing anxious or incompetent. The most common behaviors are: wringing hands, rubbing arms, biting lips.

Ask a friend to tell you if they notice you're displaying any of the above behaviors. Once you know what they are, you can take actions to stop them.

Mirror Other People

Professionals who mirror clients' body language are more successful than those who don't. If you're a fast-talker, slowing down your speech to match the person you're talking to helps put you on the same level. Copying someone's closed off body language or negative tone will only increase the tension between you.

A. Of course, only follow positive behaviors.

B. Hold your body in a similar way as they do.

C. Show you are interested in the people you speak with.

D. Focus on keeping your body there unless you need to use it.

E. You'll be able to use the crucial tool for delivering messages.

F. Sometimes it can be hard to identify what your signs of anxiety are.

G. Most people plan what they will say, but they ignore their body language.

Currently, about a third of the world's farmland is used to grow vegetable oils. This area is expanding, contributing to deforestation, global warming and wildlife loss. According to Thomas Wanger from Westlake University in Hangzhou, China, the environmental impact of six main oil crops — soya, palm, rapeseed, sunflower, peanut, and olive — results in an estimated 1.2 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually, primarily due to fertilizer use and deforestation.

Wanger's team explored the environmental benefits of replacing some of these crops with Camellia oleifera. This plant can yield up to 2.8 tonnes of oil per hectare, second only to palm oil, and can grow in poor soil and on steep hillsides. Camellia oil is rich in oleic acid (油酸), which may lower heart disease risk and has a higher smoke point than many oils, reducing harmful chemical formation during cooking.

If camellia were grown on 11% of the land currently used for other oil crops, it could produce the same oil volume while decreasing greenhouse gas emissions by 14%, water use by 5%, land use by 7%, and pesticide use by 9%. However, these figures would depend on how camellia is grown, says Wanger, "The benefits depend strongly on where it is planted and to replace what."

Government action would probably be needed to encourage a camellia oil market, says Wanger. "The price currently is very high, and so I think the consumer might be a bit hesitant." "The commercial reality is that new oil crops won't achieve a large market share unless production can compete in the market," says Christopher at Alternative Fuels Consultancy.

Walker, from Britain, came to China in 2015, drawn by martial arts. While learning Shaolin kung fu in Henan, he developed a curiosity about Chinese culture and medicine. After a year of intensive Chinese study, he signed up in Henan University of Chinese Medicine. Now a graduate student specializing in acupuncture, he has treated over a thousand patients. "He is skilled in heartbeat diagnosis (诊断) and acupuncture," says his teacher, Professor Yu Dongdong. "He can practise independently."

Under his Chinese name "Wuyan." Bruno has become an online hit on the video-sharing platform Douyin, gathering over 900,000 followers. Balancing his roles as practitioner and internet celebrity, he presents local culture in fluent Henan dialect (方言), often alongside his local girlfriend. "Your grasp of the Henan dialect is even more authentic than mine," comments one follower. Apparently, his cultural involvement has endeared him to many. He also treated his grandmother's health problems with acupuncture, leading to her swift recovery.

With his growing fan base, Brano feels a responsibility. "Posting videos was just a pastime, but now I want to participate in more meaningful projects," he says. He plans to create bilingual videos promoting TCM and sharing stories of ancient Chinese medical experts. "I'm devoted to spreading awareness of TCM and its far-reaching cultural significance," he adds. Whether in China or Britain, he plans to devote himself to TCM. "I will do anything to help people through TCM. That's my calling."

Building on a child's wonder and curiosity about the natural world, Open OutDoors for Children connects students with national parks, providing learning opportunities that emphasize conservation, sustainability, and interpretation of the parks' cultural and historical resources. Here are a few spots to choose from.

Point Rayes National Seashore

Fourth graders will embrace the great outdoors at the seashore by visiting the native northern elephant seals and gray whales. Marine biologists and wildlife educators will provide students with the tools to engage in personal reflection on the migrations (迁徙) of the animals. Lessons will contain information from local groups and will be available in both English and Spanish.

Salam Maritime National Historic Site

Educators have developed an educational program to help students explore the local history and native experiences. By using natural and cultural resources, they encourage students to interpret the interconnected history of the region.

Sleeping Bear Denes National Lakeshore

Students will explore the cultural significance of the night sky, focusing on the local Native Americans. The program offers sensory experiences, including visual and hearing elements, and accommodations for students with learning difficulties as well as those who may have hearing or visual problems.

Broszville Metropolis National Heritage Area             

In this national historical area, students will learn about the history of this community and its contributions to the migration and the labor movement. They will also take part in research, virtual presentations and teamwork.
