Every year, on the night of the full moon in the 12th month of Thailand's lunar calendar, usually in November, people across Thailand gather to celebrate Loy Krathong. As part of the festival, people release small floats, krathongs, which are commonly covered in decorative banana leaves, flowers, candles, and so on. People release these on water to wish for good luck.

Last year, the best place to enjoy Loy Krathong is Sukhothai, Thailand's first capital and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. During the week-long celebration, locals and visitors could see parades, fireworks, and traditional shows.

Getting in and Around Sukhothai

In the 13th century, Sukhothai was the center of the Kingdom of Siam, the former name for Thailand. Today, it is known for its well-preserved historical parks. The parks are home to impressive Buddhist temples. The calm and peaceful atmosphere of the city adds to its beauty. During Loy Krathong, Sukhothai's historical parks are lit up, making its ancient architectures even more magical.

Celebrating Loy Krathong Creatively

Over time, people thought floating krathongs on water would bring them good luck, but in recent years it's been impossible to ignore the environmental impact. "Releasing flower krathongs made out of banana plant stems and leaves was never a problem until recently, when the population increased a lot. Of course it creates a mass of krathongs and pollutes water," says Tongthong Chandransu, a well-known historian. In response, many people are now choosing creative ways to honor the tradition, such as making their krathong bases out natural materials. Others just light a digital krathong online.

Did you grow up in one culture, your parents came from another, and you are now living in a (total) different country? If so, then you are a third-culture kid.

The term "third-culture kid" (use) in the 1960s for the first time by Dr. Ruth. She first came across this phenomenon (现象) while (research) North American children living in India. In general, third-culture kids benefit from (they) intercultural experiences and they often reach excellent academic results.

Yet many (difficulty) may arise from this phenomenon. Third-culture kids may not be able to adapt themselves completely to their new surroundings. Also, they often find it hard (develop) new friendship. Additionally, for a third-culture kid, it is often (easy) to move to a new country than to return to his homeland. For example, after living in Australia for many years, Louis finally returned to the country he was born. He didn't know anything about current TV shows popular movies. And he didn't share the same values other teens of his age.

He'd6 his apartment and was living out of his car… He answered every question and7 thanked my parents for letting him eat with us. Finally, the8 ended when my father said, "Bette, that's enough. Let him9."

We all ate in10 for the next couple of minutes. Then my dad asked, "David, how is your11?" "Sir, there is some noise, but it's okay for now. It's12 of you to ask." My dad continued, "Let's check it out before you leave so you are13 on the road."

In the following years, each of us was14 to invite someone for Thanksgiving dinner. It was a welcome new tradition for our family: the act of15 not only food but also our blessings.

Hike with at least one other person. Not only is hiking more fun with a friend, it is also safer. If you decide to hike alone, make sure that you let someone know where you are going and when you plan to be back. This way, if you get lost or injured, someone will know where to look for you and when to send help.

Have plenty of water. Even if you are only going for a short hike, it is important to have lots of water on hand so that you avoid dehydration (脱水). Plan to bring one liter of water per person per hour of hiking. So make sure to drink your water frequently, even if you are not very thirsty.

Wear correct kinds of clothing. You should wear comfortable, closed-toed shoes and thick socks. Your clothing should be comfortable and easy to move around in. Clothing that is too loose might catch on rocks or branches.

If you have not exercised in a very long time, do not try to go on an 8-mile hike up a mountain on the hottest day of the year, Instead, you should start gradually. First, go for regular walks in your neighborhood. Next, you should try to find places to walk on steep hills or rocky soil.
 

A. Don't take a too long trip at a time.

B. Make sure that your body is prepared.

C. You can begin to dehydrate before you even realize it.

D. If you get injured, your friend will be able to go and get help.

E. But clothing that is too tight might become uncomfortable as you walk.

F. With enough practice, you can take longer hikes across more challenging landscapes.

G. If you are going on a long hike, you might want to bring an extra pair of socks just in case.

This ability comes in handy for detecting mouth movements, allowing the device to detect low-volume or even silent speech. That means you can whisper or mouth a command, and the glasses will pick it up like a lip reader.

"For people who cannot vocalize sound, this silent speech technology could be an excellent input for a voice synthesizer(合成器)," said a doctoral student. The tech could also be used by its wearers to give silent commands to a paired device, like a laptop or a smartphone.

It is proved that EchoSpeech could recognize 31 commands and connected data with error rates of less than 10 percent. The speakers and microphones are placed on different lenses on different sides of the face. When the speakers give off sound waves around 20 kilohertz, it travels in a path from one lens to the lips and then to the opposite lens. As the sound waves from the speakers reflect and diffract after hitting the lips, their distinct patterns are caught by microphones and used to make "echo profiles" for each phrase or command. It effectively works like a simple, mini sonar system.

"Because the data is processed locally on your smartphone instead of being uploaded to the cloud, privacy-sensitive information never leaves your control," a professor noted. Plus, audio data takes less bandwidth to transmit than videos or images, and takes less power to run as well.

My husband and I enjoy seeing life through the eyes of our children. It's amazing to watch as they discover their world.

While we were outdoors last summer enjoying the sunshine, our oldest daughter, Kaytlin, called me to the doorway. Beneath the steps was a baby red squirrel.

We watched it from a distance, not wanting to disturb it or scare off its mother. But after a long wait—and looking all around our house for signs of a nest or a mother—we realized the tiny squirrel was lost.

Shaking terribly, he was weak, thin, and hungry. We tried to find an expert to help, but the Inland Fisheries and Wildlife website showed that there were no wildlife experts in our area. After some quick research, we concluded that the best way to give the squirrel a fighting chance was to care for him ourselves. So a trip to the local store for milk and supplies was in order. More research taught us how much to feed him, how to estimate his age, how and when to wean (断奶) him, and that we should let him go as soon as he could survive on his own.

Our daughters and I took turns in feeding "Squirt." Kaytlin took on the most responsibility. She taught him to eat from a bottle, and she woke in the night for his feeds.

To our relief, Squirt soon became healthy and strong. Within a few weeks he became more active. He would chatter (吱吱叫) for his next meal, playfully go around the girls, and lie down on them for sleep. It wasn't long before he was weaned onto solid food and reintroduced to the wild.

His first few visits to the great outdoors were funny. Just like a child, he would play in the grass some and then run back to Kaytlin for safety. Soon she had him climbing trees and finding nest material.

Recently, foreigners have been more aware that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has scientific basis and the global growing interest turning to TCM to solve wellness problems is helping remove its "mystical" label. TCM is earning itself huge trust as effective medical practice.

The latest (strike) example of this shift happened when US influencer IShowSpeed streamed his trip to Chengdu, Southwest China's Sichuan Province on Monday, following three other trips across China. During the livestream, IShowSpeed visited a local traditional Chinese store, he explored various practices such as pulse diagnosis, bone setting, and acupuncture. Though afraid initially, he decided to experience the treatment was so pleasantly surprised to find that his headache had disappeared. The livestream video (view) millions of times on social media platforms within China and abroad in the past few weeks.

In Han Shiming's moxibustion (艾灸) store in Hunchun, Northeast China's Jilin Province, there have often been Russians crossing the border (special) to do moxibustion in recent years. These overseas guests have expressed satisfaction with the (effective) of the treatments, Han noted.

"The influence of the IP has helped awaken public cultural recognition of TCM. TCM is not outdated. Even in modern-day efforts to treat disease, TCM still has the ability (keep) the trend. Hopefully, it can be (far) developed and fully utilized," Sun Haishu, associate professor with the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences in Beijing said.
