Mariela Dassis, a researcher at the National University of Mar del Plata, was in charge of his satellite monitoring. She was overseeing the final stage of a careful three-year re-education and release project to prepare Jorge, rescued as a young injured turtle in 1984, for life back in the wild. Jorge holds the record for the longest time spent in captivity (圈养) of any sea turtle in the world.

The first night, Dassis barely slept, waiting for Jorge to send out a signal. Now, more than 70 days into his oceanic voyage, she feels calmer because Jorge has already traveled over 1,700 miles and has less than 760 miles left to reach his destination.

Jorge was accidentally caught in fishing nets in 1984. For decades, he lived on hard-boiled eggs and beef in calm water and his natural survival instincts (本能) faded, leaving him unfamiliar with hunting live food or reacting to ocean currents.

Following the launch of his release project in 2021, researchers began a three-year re-education plan to restore Jorge's lost survival instincts, starting with re-adapting him to saltwater. Then Jorge boarded the plane and flew to Mar del Plata, where a more comfortable pool awaited him, filled with seawater and kept at a controlled temperature. Throughout the process, Jorge's diet also changed: Hard-boiled eggs and beef were replaced with live food, which the turtle had to hunt. The researchers even created currents in the pool that Jorge got used to. When Jorge was ready, scientists attached a satellite tracker to his shell and released him into the ocean.

Jorge's journey proves that even after many years in captivity, wild animals can remember their natural instincts. Scientists hope Jorge will help them learn more about how sea turtles live and migrate (迁徙).

Or at least I was until this spring, when I decided to try out a new smartphone app designed to make birding by ear accessible to the inexperienced. This tool, part of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Merlin Bird ID app, made me aware of birdsong around me.

On this particular morning, I was once again feeling frustrated about my inability to identify some of the songs I was hearing, and about the birds I was missing as a result. Then I remembered Merlin Bird ID app. It takes advantage of Cornell Lab's vast library of more than 1.5 million birdsong recordings to identify species in real time using machine learning. I fished my phone out of my pocket and opened the app.

Within an hour, I was awakened to the presence of many amazing birds that I'd never realized were so common near my home. The app had alerted (提醒) me to the presence of Western Wood-Pewees and Olive-sided Flycatchers, helped me remember how to distinguish (分辨) the songs of Black-headed Grosbeaks from those of robins (知更鸟), and led me to the first MacGillivray's Warbler I'd seen in years.

I'm still learning to bird by ear. I've found, though, that having an app listen to and identify bird songs around me in real time has greatly improved my learning. After some practice with Merlin, for example, I no longer need to reach for my phone to tell the song of a Wilson's Warbler apart from a Yellow Warbler. And after years as an enthusiastic (热衷的) but casual birder, finding myself back in "beginner's mind" again has been a pleasure. Learning the sounds of my local birds has added a new dimension to my appreciation of the natural world around me.

Who are the cholitas?

Not so long ago, the word "cholita" was a very rude term. People used it to laugh at native women and their clothes and traditions. In recent years, a movement led by the Aymara president Evo Morales has made these once looked-down-on people proud again. Now cholitas can wear their traditional pollera skirt, shawl and bowler hat freely, both in the streets of La Paz and in the wrestling ring.

The history of cholitas wrestling

Wrestling has been popular in Bolivia since the 1950s, but women joined only in the mid2000s. At that time, some native women who suffered some family problems started wrestling to make friends, reduce stress and feel powerful. Promoter Juan Mamani noticed its potential, used smart marketing and turned it into a professional sport.

Audience interaction

The show is fun and exciting, just what the audience wants. Drnks and popcorn being thrown between the performers is all just part of the show.

How and where to watch cholitas wrestling?

Cholitas wrestling is mainly in El Alto, Bolivia near La Paz's capital. The main place is El Alto Multifunctional Center, with shows mostly on Thursdays and Sundays. The cholitas perform amazing skills like suplexes and body slams. The 4-hour show allows free entry and exits. If worried about going alone, book a guided tour with local experts to experience the wonderful cultural performances.

On a cold, damp evening in mid-November, a sharp wind cut through the streets, but Jack paid little attention to the chill. As a delivery rider, he had just finished a few smooth orders, his hands warm from the hot milk tea cups he'd been carrying, and his spirits fairly good. Stepping out of a milk tea shop, he found the spot where his second-hand electric bike had been parked now empty. In an instant, his heart sank, and a wave of hopelessness swept over him, turning his calm evening into a nightmare. That bike was far more than just a vehicle; it was his lifeline, the only way for him to earn daily income and cover his living expenses.

Panic set in as he remembered the undelivered orders — especially a cup of hot milk tea for Ms. White, a regular customer. His hand trembled as he pressed the voice button, his words laced with sorrow and anxiety as he apologized repeatedly, offering to pay for the undelivered drink. To his great surprise, Ms. White did not respond with anger or complaint, but with gentle kindness. Ms. White told him not to worry and to take his time finding his bike.

Her understanding words calmed him, but also deepened his sense of responsibility. "She is so kind. I cannot let her down," he thought. For nearly two hours, he searched every nearby street, but there was no sign of his bike. As night grew darker and the wind bit harder, Jack clenched his fists and made a firm decision. He took out his poor savings, bought a bag of fresh apples and a new cup of hot milk tea, then set off on foot to Ms. White's apartment, several kilometers away. The wind bit into his thin jacket, and his old shoes grew heavy with mud, but the thought of keeping his promise and maintaining his integrity kept him moving forward through the dimly lit urban landscape.

Finally, breathless, Jack reached Ms. White's doorstep and rang the bell.
