Once you have started using a 3D interior design software, you need to ask yourself a few basic questions. Do you want to remodel an existing living room, or are you designing a living room for a house that is yet to be constructed? In each case, the challenges and opportunities will be different.

The next thing you need to do is to come up with a floor plan. To do this, enter the measurements of the floor and walls of your living room into the program, which becomes the basic blueprint for your creative living room design. With some information about electrical points, lighting sources, doors and windows entered, the workable space can be clearly defined.

Simply select the furniture type and specify its measurements by selecting the required size option. The image will increase or decrease and show you how much space it will occupy in your living room. There is no end of how many versions you can create at this stage since there is no need to physically move your couch or TV set. Within minutes, you can see your revamped (翻新的) living room taking shape right before your eyes.

In the fourth step, add a personal creative touch. You can experiment with different types of customization (定制) to achieve the overall look you want. For example, you can try multiple colors for the walls and different types of flooring and lighting.

A. Remodel or construct?

B. All of this happens just by moving your mouse.

C. Now, you can experiment with different layouts.

D. A lot of 3D software comes with ready-made models for floor plans.

E. You should also input all the fixed or immovable parts of the living room.

F. It is entirely up to you as to how you want to visualize your perfect living room.

G. A creative designed living room can be something you impress your guests with.

It's important to know two different types of memory: long-term and working memory. Long-term memories are a broad category of memories that involve knowledge and experiences stored in the brain for extended periods. On the other hand, thoughts in working memory, whose certain characteristics are likely to explain why we forget, flash through the mind for only seconds at a time.

First, working memory has very limited capacity. People can hold only about four to seven "chunks" of information — such as letters or phrases — in their working memory at a time. Rather than being aware of all of these "chunks" simultaneously, the brain bounces around from one idea to another, making it more likely that one gets neglected. Second, the brain quickly erases unimportant things from working memory to make room for new information. So unless those short-term memories are transferred into long-term memories, they' re soon gone from conscious thought.

Because the brain isn't actually capable of multitasking, it has to juggle different thoughts as our working memory rushes around to different ideas, which requires conscious effort and attention. If attention becomes focused on only one of those thoughts or is diverted somewhere new, the brain loses track of the earlier thoughts. And alcohol and aging may worsen the case.

To stop forgetting things, it's advised against multitasking. Moreover, recreating the context can help, which means going back into the room you were before. Those context clues might give the brain the extra boost it needs to reach back a few seconds in working memory and regain the thought. The scientific community has also identified several supplementary techniques designed to alleviate forgetfulness and enhance overall memory retrieval capabilities.

Studies have found that top athletes— professional, college and Olympic— often face a range of short-term and long-term mental health issues, including exhaustion, eating disorders, anxiety and depression. A study by researchers at the University of Toronto found that 41.4 percent of Canadian national team athletes who were training for the 2020 Olympics had depression, anxiety, an eating disorder or more than one of these conditions when surveyed in 2019; in another survey of Olympic and Paralympic athletes in 2018 and 2019,24 percent reported psychological stress after the Games. A few athletes facing retirement tend to have more serious psychological problems, due to the loss of their goals and identity.

Emotions are also intensified by the nature of the event itself. The Olympics is a massive cultural show — a whirlwind of global public attention, financial investment and extensive media coverage. New international celebrities are created, and some contenders fall from grace during various accusations or controversies. Athletes bear the pressure of representing their country, and winning medals, in front of a worldwide audience. But then "all of that buzz and intensity around being an Olympian falls off very quickly," Cogan, a sports psychologist says. Painful decisions can follow: Do I want to keep competing? Should I pursue a completely different direction or occupation? Such questions can be even more anxiety-causing if athletes have injuries and need surgery or recovery, Cogan says.

In fact, failure gives us an opportunity to learn, adapt and grow. It should be expected on the way to achieving life goals and used as a feedback mechanism (机制) to get it right next time, or the time after.

I recently saw a woman who had to give up studying for her university degree. She had bipolar disorder (躁郁症) and was unable to cope with the pressure of studying. She was studying to be a teacher and had hoped to find a teaching job. However, she failed her exams and job interviews, and overall felt like she was failing to achieve anything.

One of the things she enjoyed doing was singing in a band. So in order to earn a bit of money, she began giving singing lessons to children in her community. Fast forward 18 months and she now has her own growing business of teaching singing full-time. She hasn't achieved this goal in the way she imagined, and she wouldn't have embarked on this path without the setbacks she encountered.

What was it about this woman that made her succeed? Yes, failure had a big part to play, but the ability to bounce back and be flexible was an important factor.

An important part of developing flexibility is having a supportive network. Having relationships with people who can support us helps us go through tough times.

Our attitudes toward ourselves are also crucially important, including a sense that we are in control of our actions, have confidence in what we do, realize our strengths and set ourselves achievable and realistic goals. This is all necessary to flexibility.

The secret to flexibility lies in accepting that there are things in life we cannot change. Rather than thinking of ourselves as victims, we need to realize we have the ability to change the way we think, behave and, ultimately, feel. Life may throw manure (粪肥) at us, but we can grow roses with it.

It was a cold November night. The air was fresh, and the autumn leaves made a pattern of red and yellow on the streets. I was walking home from school, my mind lost in thoughts of upcoming exams, when I noticed an elderly man struggling with a heavy box at the corner of the street. He was out of breath, his face flushed (红) from the effort, and it was clear he needed help.

I approached him, my heart filled with sympathy. "Sir, do you need some assistance?" I asked, trying to sound as polite as possible. The man looked up, his eyes meeting mine with a mix of relief and gratitude.

"Could you please help me carry this box to my apartment? It's just around the corner," he replied, his voice shaky but warm. I nodded and, together, we lifted the box and began our slow journey to his home.

As we walked, I learned that his name was Mr. Chen, and he had recently moved into the neighborhood. His children lived far away, and he was trying to settle into his new home alone. The box contained his most treasured belongings, books and photographs that held memories of a lifetime.

Our path was not easy. The box was heavy, and the streets were wet from rain. We slipped once or twice, but we managed to keep our footing and our spirits high. Mr. Chen told me stories of his youth, and I shared my dreams for the future. It was a strange connection, formed in the struggle of a single moment.

Finally, we reached his apartment building, and I helped him carry the box up the stairs. He insisted that I come in for a cup of tea as a thank-you. Over hot drinks, I told him that all of my family members are literature enthusiasts. My uncle works at a publishing house. He said he loves writing poetry. Then we exchanged contact information with each other.

Chinese consumers are pursuing more personalized and flexible travel options for the National Day holiday, with significant increases (see) in bookings for self-driving tours and independent travel. Both traditional cultural tours and autumn short journeys are gaining (popular).

Running a week, the National Day holiday stands as the last long holiday of the year, (lead) to a considerable increase in flexible scheduling by consumers. As of Sept 20, bookings of flights and hotels during the holiday both exceeded (超过)   (level) recorded during the same period last year, Tuniu said.

The holiday is the best time (enjoy) fall foliage (秋季彩叶). Some of the most popular domestic destinations include Huangguoshu Waterfall in Guizhou province, stands as the largest waterfall in Asia; Lushan Mountain as well as Huangshan Mountain in Anhui province.

Taking self-driving tours (emerge) as one of the most popular modes of travel for Chinese consumers in recent years. For the National Day holiday, increasing number of travelers are choosing to take high-speed trains to their destinations, and then rent cars for self-driving experiences.

(remarkable), more female travelers have embarked on self-driving tours. From beaches with breathtaking views vast grasslands, women have been traveling further.

The incident occurred on a Friday night, the store's peak shopping hours. The cashier who had been assigned to1 the register took ill and left suddenly, with no one else2 for help. The owner, Shiko Altid, also didn't find out that the store was unmanned for an entire hour, until one customer called the police, who3 the owner,

Altid had4 panicked on hearing that the store was left5 and open. "In a panic, I immediately6 the security cameras, expecting to see7 with products thrown everywhere in the store, Altid explained, "To my8, just minutes after the cashier left, the customers began to scan (扫描) the products themselves."

Altid said that his regular customers even9 themselves as volunteer cashier, "One customer stayed at the10 for 15 minutes, checking out one person after another and leaving the money in the register with receipts," Altid said. They even tried to11 how to work the credit card machine, and every time the cash drawer opened, they quickly12 it to avoid any misunderstandings or theft. They even gave each other the correct13 from the register. I later checked both the registers and the cameras, and nothing was missing! It was incredible.

"I couldn't thank them enough. Without their14 and kindness, the night could have unfolded into a(n)15," said Altid.

Don't use platitudes (陈词滥调). Think: common sayings like "sending thoughts and prayers" or "everything will work out for the best." Instead, aim for sympathetic connections that are sincere, heartfelt words individualized to that person.

Do tailor your statement to the relationship. For instance, someone who has lost a parent may need to hear something a little different than someone who lost a high school friend. When someone is experiencing intense sorrow, you shouldn't try to "fix" it or explain it. Say this instead: "Tell me about him/ her."

It's perfectly fine to say something like, "I don't know what to say right now, but I'm so sorry for your loss." Empathy (共情) is a powerful form of support. You can just be here with them in this moment.

Do apologize if necessary. Even when you go into it with the best of intentions, there are some mistakes people often make when talking about sorrow. For example, when you understandably want to love and support them, but your words don't always come across as supportive or comforting as they mean them to be. Mistakes and misunderstandings are unavailable.

A. Do admit you are nervous.

B. Above all, figure out common phrases to avoid.

C. Do tell you know what they are going through.

D. Don't claim that you fully know what they are going through.

E. The key is to face them, offer an apology and do better next time.

F. These types of impersonal messages can make the sufferer feel dismissed and unheard.

G. Acknowledge the relationship that the sorrowful person had to the person who has passed on.

Daniel Sands of University College London's school of management tracked the fortunes of restaurants that opened in New York in 2000 — 2014 and received a starred review in the New York Times. He found that, of this promising group, establishments which went on to get a Michelin star were more likely to close down in the years that followed than those which did not. The relationship remained even when factors such as location, price and type of cuisine were taken into account. All told, 40% of restaurants awarded Michelin stars in 2005 – 2014 had closed by the end of 2019.

A Michelin star boosts publicity: the study found that Google search intensity rose by over a third for newly starred restaurants. But that fame comes at a price. First, Mr Sands argues, the restaurants' customers change. Being in the center of public attention raises diners' expectations. Meeting guests' greater demands piles on new costs. Second, the award puts a star-shaped target on the restaurants' back. Businesses they deal with, such as ingredient suppliers and landlords, use the opportunity to charge more. Chefs also want their pay to show they've won an award and might get taken away by other businesses.

Food is not the only industry where awards are a mixed blessing. Some research says that companies with bosses who won awards don't do as well as they used to or as well as other companies whose bosses didn't win awards. Like Michelin-starred chefs, superstar CEOs demand fatter pay packets and are more easily distracted (分心), spending more time writing books. In publishing, too, awards bring danger. Prizewinning books are reviewed more strictly than before their success, and worse than runners-up.

Producers have included the tether on bottles sold across the European market, including in the UK. It is time everyone got on board. In my opinion, this tiny adjustment is the first effective anti-littering policy that contemporary politics has come up with. The design of a product affects how readily it becomes litter, and this is especially true for bottle caps. Tethered caps are not easily removed from plastic bottles — they are difficult to throw away even if someone wants to.

Plastic bottle caps are now among the top ten litter items found in rivers and the ocean. In the UK, 2023 beach surveys listed bottle caps as the third most common type of litter, while on the Dutch North Sea coastline, surveys recorded up to 128 bottle caps for each kilometer of beach in 2016.

It is worth noting that recycling has never been a realistic solution to the overproduction of plastic. Legislation (立法) could solve some of the issues coming from tethered lids (附着瓶盖). The UK aims to establish a national bottle return system, and will need new systems for handling mixed-material recycling anyway (not only bottles and lids, but coffee cups, tetra packs and straws, among other items). Elsewhere, legislation could soon fine producers that fail to address the environmental consequences of the packaging they have made.

Trying to solve littering by asking the public to stop is not working. Tethered bottle caps are a refreshing idea that puts theonus on those pumping out millions of litter-able items in the first place. This means that the duty to reduce litter falls on the companies that produce these items, rather than just on individuals to clean up after them.

The team was led by 39-year-old Ivan Schalk, who's been planning this since he was a child. He said, "I've been thinking about the idea for years. I once received a Guinness World Records book in which I came across this record." This record has been broken numerous times over the past 60 years. It was first set in 1965 by a bicycle built in Cologne, Germany, measuring 8 metres.

With a history of building decorations on floats, Ivan started this project in 2018 to fill his spare time. Needing help to build the giant bicycle, he sought out team members at the local carnival in his home village of Prinsen Beek. "Prinsenbeek is known for its volunteers and for having many people who can do skilled jobs," Ivan said. "You can hang out in front of the TV, but we're not like that here in Prinsenbeek. We have the technical knowledge and want to apply this knowledge to the maximum."

Building the bicycle was a long process. The front and back parts were produced in-house, while the centerpiece was purchased from a company that produces long steel structures. For the purposes of this record, a bicycle is defined as a pedaled (踏板的) vehicle with two wheels, one behind the other, steered (驾驶) with handlebars attached to the front wheel.

Years of calculations and construction finally led to the official record try, where two of the team — one up front steering and another at the back pedaling - rode the bicycle over a 100-metre distance to achieve the Guinness World Records title. They also achieved another record for the longest tandem (多人的) bicycle by adding more pedals and completing the distance with multiple riders.
