The design mixes traditional Chinese landscape arts and principles that emphasize the harmony between humans and nature. At  same time, modern ecological concepts and techniques were widely employed in the park. This is a focused effort (help) achieve goals of zero waste and zero stormwater discharge. Since completion, the park (become) an important public green space that provides recreation, educational opportunities, and environmental benefits to Beijing  (resident) and visitors. 

More than 2 million plants were installed in the park,  (include) more than 100tree species and 80 shrub species, along with grassland and wetland species. They are considered as  (incredible) important. The park animals are mainly birds, with over 176species of birds in total. What makes people (please) is that the population is growing.  this sense, for the landscape architects, designers and engineers who worked on the project, it provides an opportunity to renew the endangered habitats and protect local wildlife and its long-term target is to form a sustainable environment and a multi-functional public park. 

Several years ago, Katie Doble was diagnosed with a cancer called ocular melanoma. Doc-tors gave her 16 months to 1 . But her father。who was a physician himself, felt 2 when he found a clinical trial that could save her life.

"On tough days, my mom offered what she called an ‘energy hug'. Those were hugs that she'd 6 extra tight and extra long, "Katie remembered.

As she sat in waiting room, Katie had a 7 for one special hug. "I see a girl who looked to be about my age and she has her head 8 in her mother's lap. And her mom was moving her 9 gently and pushing it behind her ears. And I was very envious(羡慕的)and missing my mom and her energy hugs, " she said.

Soon, a 10 came out and called the daughter in. The girl 11 and I watched her get her echocardiogram(超声心动图). And when I turned my head back around, the mom was 12 right in front of me and said to me, "You seem to need a mom's hug. "

With tears in her eyes, Katie 13 and said yes. "It was just one of those moments in life when somebody 14 and gave you something that you needed. " she recalled.

Language function and the psychosocial well-being of patients and their families can be promoted with singing-based rehabilitation(康复). Group intervention provides opportunities for peer support while being simultaneously cost-effective. 

Approximately 40% of stroke(中风) survivors experience aphasia(失语症). a difficulty to understand or produce spoken or written language caused by a cerebrovascular(脑血管的)accident. In half of these cases, the language damage still continues one year post-stroke. Aphasia has wide-ranging effects on the ability to function and quality of life of stroke survivors and easily leads to social loneliness. 

According to a recent study conducted at the University of Helsinki, singing-based group rehabilitation can support communication and speech production of patients and increase social activity even at the long-lasting stage of stroke. The hard work experienced among the family caregivers participating in the study also decreased remarkably. "Our study is the first where caregivers participated in rehabilitation and their psychological well-being was evaluated. "says Postdoctoral Researcher Sini-Tuuli Siponkoski.

Previous research has established that the ability to sing can be left even in severe aphasia. "Our study used a wide variety of singing elements, such as singing by a group of singers, melodic intonation treatment and tablet-assisted singing training. " clarifies Doctoral Researcher Anni Pitkǎniemi.

In melodic intonation therapy, speech production is practised gradually by using melody and rhythm to progress from singing towards speech production. In addition to speech treatment, melodic intonation treatment has been used to some extent in aphasia rehabilitation. 

According to the researchers, singing-based group rehabilitation should be used in health-care as part of aphasia rehabilitation. "In addition to training in speech production。 group based rehabilitation provides an excellent opportunity for peer support both for the patients and their families, " says Sini-Tuuli Siponkoski.

Giant stars may be the ultimate example of "Live fast; die young". Unlike our own sun, which will shine for billions of years, more huge stars can burn through their fuel in only a few million years before dropping off their outer parts and exploding.

This week NASA published a rare image from the James Webb Space Telescope(JWST)of one such giant—a Wolf-Rayet star in the final stages of its life. Named WR 124, it's found in Sagitta and lies about 15, 000 light-years away from Earth. The dying star is at least 30times the mass of our sun but is contracting itself quickly as it sends off hot gas into the cold space. 

"We've caught it early, " explains Anthony Moffat, a retired astrophysicist, who previously observed WR 124 using the Hubble Space Telescope and was not involved in the recent JWST measurements. Moffat has studied Wolf-Rayet stars for decades. "This is the youngest one I know of, " he says. The colorful cloud in the image is only a few thousand years old. "Now the nebula is hugging the star, " he says. But as time flies by, it will bloom outward in expanding shells or rings of gas and dust.

Astrophysicists created the grand image by combining data from two of JWST's instruments, the Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and the Mid-Infrared Instrument(MIRI). The Hubble Space Telescope, which mostly gathers light at optical(视觉的) wavelengths, had captured images of WR 124 before, but JWST's observations show the star's disappearance in detail. 

"Personally, the most exciting part of this image is that we are capturing a rare event—that is, a Wolf-Rayet star—with a level of detail that can only be achieved with JWST. " says Macarena Garcia Marin, an astrophysicist at the European Space Agency, who works with MIRL

Opening the pages of Liuba Draws Beijing takes you on a fascinating visual journey through the heart of China's busy capital city. Within its lively watercolors, traditional hutong, the grand Summer Palace, and the contemporary charm of Beijing's Sanlitun and 798Art District all come alive through the artistic lens of Liuba Vladimirova, more famously known as Liuba Draws. 

Vladimirova's journey from the icy Siberian city of Irkutsk to the vital Beijing started during her college years, when she commenced with an academic exchange program connecting her Russian university with Liaoning University in Shenyang, in Northeast China's Liaoning Province. It was during this transformative period that she first set foot in Beijing. Since then, her affection for the city has been undeniable. 

Vladimirova's path as an artist was far from linear(直线的). Since childhood. Vladimirova has developed a love for drawing and painting. However, she pursued a different academic and professional route, studying Chinese and international trade in college and later working in trade relations between Russia and China , none of which was directly connected to the world of art. Yet, Vladimirova's inner artist remained alive. 

In 2015, Vladimirova began crafting a series of illustrations centered around Beijing. properly named "The Beijing Calendar". What attracts Vladimirova most is Beijing's historic hutong. These narrow alleyways, rich in history and culture, serve as a wellspring(源泉) of inspiration for her artistry.

Vladimirova's ability to catch these hidden small differences likely comes from her unique perspective as an"outsider"—someone who didn't grow up in Beijing. This fresh perspective allowed her to arrive in the city with fresh eyes and an eager heart, ready to embrace a new culture.

It was Sally's birthday, and Mother had made her a cake with even candles on it. 

Mother, Sally, and Nan went to the beach for a picnic and took the birthday cake with them. 

The two girls took off their shoes and stockings and waded in the water. They dug caves and built castles in the sand. 

Soon Mother was ready to cook dinner. So Nan and Sally ran up and down the beach, picking up dry sticks. Then they piled the sticks together to make a fire, and Nan called Mother to light them. 

"Nan, " said Mother, "these sticks will not burn. They are so close together that no air can get between them. You must spread them out. Fire needs air to burn. Let me show you some-thing. "

Mother took a candle from Sally's cake and lit it. Then she set it up in the sand. 

"Now, " said Mother, "get me the glass jar we brought for water. "

She put the jar over the candle, and the candle flame changed slowly from yellow to blue. Then it went out. 

"No air can get through the glass jar, " said Mother. "After the fire burned all the air inside the jar, it couldn't get any more air, and the flame went out. "

Nan made another pile of sticks. This time she spread the sticks so that plenty of air could get between them. When the fire was lit, it burned quickly. 

"We can put this fire out if we pour sand on it, " said Mother. "The sand will keep air from the fire. "

"May I try it now?"asked Nan.

"Yes, " said her mother. "But be careful!"

Nan poured sand on a burning stick, and the flames went out. 

"Before we leave, we will put out our fire by pouring sand on it, " said Mother.

After dinner Mother walked down the beach to hunt for shells. Sally and Nan stayed by the fire, looking at the smoke and flames. 

Sally went near the fire to throw on more wood. Suddenly her dress caught fire. She began to scream.

China's Shenzhou 14 crew spent the Mid Autumn Festival in space  the first time, en joying food including mooncakes and lettuce grown by themselves in space,  was also the first time astronauts enjoyed vegetables grown in space. 

China (successful) launched the Shenzhou 14 to its Tiangong space station on the morning of June 5, 2022. The commander of the mission is Chen Dong, a veteran of theShenzhou 11 mission in October 2016. (join) Chen Dong on Shenzhou 14 is Liu Yang, who was born in 1978 and (become) China's first woman taikonaut when she launched on the Shenzhou 9 mission on June 16, 2012. Another Shenzhou 14 crew member for this flight isCai Xuzhe, making (he) first space flight.

The three astronauts recorded their first Mid-Autumn Festival at the space station with video showing the floating mooncakes, lettuce, and holiday food packs. 

"We are very grateful to the ground team for making our space life full of romance and surprises, "said Liu Yang, holding up a food bag (paint) with hearts.

(seed) carried by the astronauts grew into two green let tuce plants after three months of cultivation. "We can't wait(enjoy) fresh vegetables grown in space, " said CaiXuzhe.
