Humans have long collected objects to remember experiences. With the rise of industrialization and tourism, souvenirs became more common. Souvenirs bring back happy memories, serving as a simple way to say, "I was there." "At the heart of our actions is a desire to feel heard, seen and connected," explains Madarkal, a professor in India.

Travellers today are more aware of their impact on local community, but the problems caused by travel souvenirs are often overlooked. In a 2022 Australian report, up to 75% of souvenirs marketed as "local" are made overseas. Real goods are expensive due to time-consuming labour involved, so some shops sell cheap fakes (假货) with most customers giving little regard to their origins. While buying fakes may seem to support local sellers, it often minimizes the profit of the traditional handicrafts, creating a negative cycle.

So, how can you buy meaningful souvenirs? "Be curious... it's not just about buying or choosing carefully, it's about rejecting and explaining why," said Madarkal. Asking where an item comes from and how it is made is a good first step. Choosing unique designs over mass-produced goods at fair-trade markets helps support local communities. Intentions also matter, as souvenirs should be chosen for personal meaning rather than habit. And souvenirs don't always have to be objects — journals or skills gained can become lasting reminders.

Ultimately, there's no universal rule for a "meaningful" souvenir. But next time you're grabbing a quick airport souvenir, pause and reflect.

One Central Park (Sydney, Australia)

A park at the foot of the building literally continues up the structure, as vegetation of 250 species of Australian plants and flowers cover One Central Park. An architectural website says it has 25% less energy consumption compared with a conventional building of its size.

Shanghai Tower (Shanghai, China)

Shanghai Tower has a transparent second skin wrapped around the building which creates a zone of captured air that serves as natural ventilation (通风), reducing energy costs. Besides, 270 wind devices incorporated into the right side power its outside lights.

Marco Polo Tower (Hamburg, Germany)

Each floor of Marco Polo Tower is turned a few degrees away from the one below, around an axis (轴线). This allows for recessed (嵌入式) buildings that protect residents from direct sun. This tower also includes many other green features. There is a heat exchanger on the roof that turns warm air into a cooling system. And the natural ventilation can make residents sleep soundly without being disrupted by outside noise.

Torre Reforma (Mexico City, Mexico)

Torre Reforma rises to 807 feet and stands tall on energy-saving measures, too. The tower's slimness maximizes the amount of natural light let in, which in turn cuts down on the need for electric lights. And when the weather permits, controls can automatically open windows to let air in.

Uber Eats pilots (试行) reusable container scheme

From today (Tuesday 18 April, 2023) Uber Eats customers in Central London will be given the option to order their takeaway in reusable containers and easily return them in an attempt (address) single use packaging.

(Bring) together various businesses (企业), the project will test and measure how localized doorstep at-home collections of reusable packaging can increase the adoption rate of a reuse system and improve convenience. The system has been developed to make as easy and convenient as possible for people to take part. When placing their orders, Uber Eats customers can choose to receive their food in reusable packaging. Once they've enjoyed their meals, they need to do is to scan a QR code (二维码), select a day for collection, give the containers a simple rinse (冲洗) and await collection. All collections are low or no emissions, (make) by deliverymen using bikes, electric cars or vans.

The trial will run for six months and will be managed by Again, which operates a network of packaging cleaning facilities the reusable packaging will be cleaned and processed before being returned to the restaurants. Various promotions (test) throughout the trial to measure opt-in rate and return rate. "This pilot aims to make reusable packing (access) for customers and restaurants alike," says Matthew Price, Uber Eats General Manager. "By integrating the reuse option a delivery app used by many households and by offering doorstep collections, we hope to see a significant increase in the use of reusable takeaway packaging. The trial will help create better understanding of what works and what doesn't at a local level, and hopefully lead to wider roll out of this reuse system across more businesses and areas."

We've all heard the saying "The family that plays together stays together." Enjoying quality family time is important and working out together could be the perfect solution. It's never too early to introduce healthy lifestyle choices, whether you leave the car at home and walk to school or enjoy a family cycle at the weekend.Here are some tips when it comes to enjoying free time and working out as a family.

Set rewards for achievements. Taking the kids to the park is such a fun and easy thing to do. Try setting them tasks. If they manage to do all the tasks, allow them a certain amount of TV or gaming time if that's what they like to do!

Find a hobby they enjoy. One of the most important things is to find a healthy hobby that they love.If they enjoy it, encourage and support them to build up their confidence.

Find exercise friends. Perhaps there's a family nearby with kids the same age. See if they would like to exercise together.Besides, it sets a level of cooperation where you can't let the other family down. It's also a good excuse for a coffee and a chat with the mum or dad afterwards.

It can be easy to want your child to be the best but it's all about them having fun with fitness. Support them, but don't pressure them too much, or it might backfire!

A. This will motivate everyone.

B. Don't be a competitive Mum or Dad!

C. Support the kids with encouragement.

D. Avoid making the reward about food or drink!

E. They're more likely to be fit and healthy later in life.

F. Ask them what they fancy giving a try and, within reason, let them!

G. Working out together as a family is one of the most beneficial things you can do.

"Liming can be a carbon source or sink. Practical tests suggest this is a pretty efficient carbon sink," says Noah Planavsky at Yale University. This could offer new motivation to spread more limestone on the world's farms — but liming won't have this effect everywhere.

Currently, most crushed limestone spread on fields is counted as an emission source because its carbon is released as CO₂ when it dissolves (溶解) in acidic soil. However, Tim Jesper Suhrhoff, also at Yale, argues this accounting is incomplete. Soils are very acidic due to fertiliser use and fossil-fuel pollution, and other alkaline (碱性的) minerals in soil will release carbon even without limestone. He says added acidity, not liming, is to blame for emissions.

To accurately assess liming's emissions, researchers should compare CO₂ release and uptake with and without liming. Suhrhoff, Planavsky and colleagues studied the Mississippi river basin, calculating the net carbon effect of liming between 1900 and 2015. They used geochemical models and data on soil-acidity changes from fertiliser and liming, and compared results with Mississippi alkalinity measurements. Their new approach showed liming in this region removed about 300 to 400 million tonnes of CO₂ instead of generating emissions.

Planavsky says liming could be paired with spreading crushed volcanic rocks on farms to remove more CO₂. Wolfram Buss at the Australian National University warns that what worked in the Mississippi may not work everywhere, as liming can be a net CO₂ source in some systems.

The next step is to identify regions needing liming most. Planavsky says, "It could promote practices aiding crop yields and removing billions of tonnes of CO₂, helping low-income farmers who can't afford optimal liming."

Our Montessori-inspired environment empowers students to focus on what interests them most be it exploring cooking art, learning new skills, or making meaningful connections. In Teen Nights, students are motivated to promote their knowledge about nutrition, eating locally and organically, and the impact of their food choices on their minds, bodies, and the environment.

Curriculum(课程)

During the sessions, our professional instructors cover diverse topics about food and nutrition that are essential for teenagers to sustain a healthy lifestyle. The curriculum mainly includes developing a moderate portion and preparing meals for various categories such as athletes, picky eaters, and people with eating disorder.

·We challenge our teens by making creative recipes with limited tools, or missing ingredients.

·Our recipes will involve trying a popular dish from a local restaurant and improving it.

·We will ask our teens to look up the price for the ingredients we are using to calculate the cost of our meals.

At the end of every session, we gather around the community table made from recycled chopsticks, where we enjoy the delicious meal teens worked so hard to create.   

Targeted Groups

Teen Nights are suitable for all learning styles from traditional schooling to alternative education for exceptional learners.

Opening Time

Our LKA Teen Nights run every Friday & Saturday night from 7:30 pm to 10 pm.

View information on the location-specific page for details on the enrollment.

The district championship game between Academy and Apache was physical and intense at the Academy of Classical Christian Studies in Oklahoma City. Apache was the visiting team from another city. The Academy players were falling behind and struggling, and the coach of the team, King, knew they'd have to try their best if they wanted to win. Scoring was back and forth until the fourth quarter, when Apache took the lead by 14 points with four minutes left on the clock.

King called one last timeout (暂停). "If we want to win this game, this is the time to do it," he told his players. The captain Sam nodded and promised to go all out.

Academy came out of the timeout with new energy, playing as if they had nothing to lose, scoring shot after shot to pull within a few points of Apache. Then, with two minutes left to go, the referee blew the whistle, stopping play because there was a disagreement between scoreboard and scorebook.

The scoreboard showed Academy was losing by 4 points; the scorebook showed that Academy was losing by 2. League rules state that the scorebook is the ultimate result not the scoreboard. The scoreboard was then updated to 43-41 with Apache leading.

The game went on. Academy freshman Lily Payne hit a 3-point buzzer-beater to top Apache by a point for the school's first-ever district championship. The Academy won! The home crowd rushed to the court as players celebrated with each other. But King walked to the locker room with a sinking feeling.

"I need to know if we won that game or not, just for my peace of mind," he said.

That night, King sat down at his kitchen table with the game tape. He watched the entire thing through, counting every point on a notepad. His gut (本能), it turned out, was right. Academy had actually lost the game by a point. He watched a second time to be sure.
