In 1955, when Rosa Parks refused an order to give up her seat to a white passenger and moved to the back of the bus, her incredible act of resistance became the fuel for the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Led by none other than Martin Luther King Jr., it led to the civil rights movement in America. 

Known as "the Mother of the Modern Civil Rights Movement" Parks moved to Detroit in 1957 where she continued to fight for civil rights. In 1994, at the age of 81, Parks was attacked and robbed in her home.

When word of the attack got out, Judge Damon Keith contacted Mike Ilitch, a real estate (地产) developer. Upon hearing of the incident, Mike Ilitch offered to pay for safer housing for Parks until her death. 

Hidden from public knowledge, and known only to a select few individuals, Ilitch's kindness towards Rosa Parks remained a secret for many years. It wasn't until an article was published in the Sports Business Daily in 2014 that the secret came out. And it didn't gain popular attention until it resurfaced after Ilitch's death in 2017.

The article contained a photograph of Keith holding a copy of a cheque. 

"It's for $2,000, dated November the first, 1994," Keith said. "It's from Little Caesars Enterprises to Riverfront Apartments. It's important that people know what Mr. Mike Ilitch did for Ms. Rosa Parks because it's symbolic of what he has always done for the people of our city."

It wasn't Ilitch's only act of giving. Throughout his life, the billionaire made significant contributions to various charitable causes. In 1985, he established the Little Caesars Love Kitchen which provides food for those in need.

Mike Ilitch and Rosa Parks may have come from two completely different worlds and lived very different lives, but there is one common thread that ties them together—commitment to creating positive change.

This campsite at Tsendze is the closest one where you'll get to wild camping in the Kruger. But it's not as wild as Mabuasehube: The campsite is still fenced so you won't wake up to a lion wandering around your tent.

The 34 stands are large and set far apart, with big tall trees in-between. Generators are not allowed and the campsite is not connected to the power network. Solar panels keep the lights on. The campsite doesn't have a swimming pool and there's no busy reception office or restaurant with milkshakes—for that, you'll have to drive 7 km to Mopani. But Tsendze is the kind of place where you open and close the entrance gate to the campsite yourself.

Despite how wild it is, you still get first-class service. Rodgers Hobyane and Elina Mona have been in charge of the camp since the campsite opened in 2007. They walk through the campsite every evening to make sure everything is running smoothly. They also know where the resident African birds nest, and point them out to guests. They are highly thought of by both the guests and their boss. 

"We have guests year-round and some of them stay for 30 nights. We've had guests stay for 50 nights!" says Elina.

INSIDER TIP: Unlike other campsites in the Kruger, you can book a specific stand at Tsendze. If you want shade, ask for stand number 6. Big groups can ask for number 27 or 28. If you're after privacy, numbers 3, 4 and 26 are good. Rates from R410 per night for two people, plus R104 per extra person; max six people per stand.

Dear Jack, 

Yours, Li Hua

With the development of our society, the connection between people becomes inevitable ( 不可避免的). People need to communicate with others as long as they are in the world. Asresult, the interpersonal( 人 际的)relationship which is of benefit to people's success(become)increasingly important now.

Throughout human history, we can know that no one can do everything well and become (success) alone. Most great men have a good relationship with other people. For many people, the interpersonal relationship and their abilities are(equal) important to their success. By(keep) a good relationship with others, people can easily get help from others when facing problems. In other words, excellent interpersonal communication skills can help people smooth out(difficulty) on the way to success. Besides, a good interpersonal relationship can help people live a happy life. (create) a harmonious environment, people should keep a good relationship with the peoplekeep company with them. These friendly people form a happy atmosphere, which will make people work(good)than before and put them in a good mood in daily life. It is certain that people look forward to(receive) happiness and will get it in the end. 

I have invented robots that crawl( 爬 )through pipes to check them for damage. Two of my1 allow cars to be used as power plants（动力装置）on wheels. My love of building things2 when I was a kid. It wasn't until I leaned about Thomas Edison, though, that I really became excited about inventing.

When I was in fourth grade, our teacher gave us a3 . We had to write to a company and learn about the4 it made. Each student would then give a report in front of the class. I5  the Thomas Edison Company. 

Soon after I wrote to the company, our mailman6 a package to me. It contained a book about the life of Thomas Edison. How I7 reading and rereading about his inventions! The ones that impressed me most were movies, recorded sound and the electric light. Edison became my hero. 

My dad noticed my interest in inventing and8 me. He showed me how to turn my ideas into plans and, finally into new things. 

Together, my dad and I repaired radios and televisions. Once, I surprised my dad with a9 I made to adjust the brakes( 刹 车 )of our car. Later, we found a similar tool in a store. That's when I learned that10 inventors often invent similar things. It is not11 for this to happen. I learned, too, that not all great ideas work. 12 is a common part of the inventing process.

As my father and I worked together, I began to13 that my dad was quite an inventor himself. His guiding hands, combined with my14 in inventing, led me to become an engineer and inventor. But I am15 to Thomas Edison, too, for first lighting that bulb(电灯泡)inside me. 

The jobs of the future have not yet been invented. By helping them develop classic skills that will serve them well no matter what the future holds. 

1）    Curiosity

Your children need to be deeply curious.  Ask kids, "What ingredients can we add to make these pancakes even better next time？"and then try them out. Did those ingredients make the pancakes better？What could we try next time？

2）    Creativity

True creativity is the ability to take something existing and create something new from it. There are a dozen different things you can do with them. Experimenting with materials to create something new can go a long way in helping them develop their creativity. 

3）    Personal skills

Understanding how others feel can be a challenge for kids. We know what's going on inside our own head, but what about others ？ Being able to read people helps kid from misreading a situation and jumping to false conclusions. "Why do you think she's crying？""Can you tell how that man is feeling by looking at his face？""If someone were to do that to you, how would you feel？"

4）    Self Expression

There are many ways to express thoughts and ideas—music, acting, drawing, building, photography.

You may find that your child is attracted by one more than another. 

A. And we can't forget science education. 

B. Encourage kids to cook with you. 

C. We can give kids chances to think about materials in new ways. 

D. Being able to communicate ideas in a meaningful way is a valuable skill. 

E. So how can we help our kids prepare for jobs that don't yet exist?

F. Gardening is another great activity for helping kids develop this skill. 

G. We can do this in real life or ask questions about characters in stories. 

Perhaps unsurprisingly, buffoonery (滑稽) was one of few careers acceptable for women to pursue in the Middle Age. And it was not uncommon for women to enjoy this career. 

However, in the 17th century, comedians were forced to society's edge as their tendency to truth-telling was no longer tolerated among high society and women, bearing the weight of gender prejudice（性别偏见）, were seldom among this career. 

This slowly began to change in the mid-19th century when women began to enter the workforce and, in the circu（s 马戏表演）industry, a growing minority of female performers were employed. They promoted the industry's

"New Woman" movement which introduced female performers into the traditionally male stage. In 1895, among the women breaking the prejudice was Josephine Williams or "Lady Evetta" called the "The Only Lady Clown". Williams told The New York Times: "I believe that a woman can do anything for a living that a man can do and do it just as well as a man. All my people laughed at me when I told them that I was going on stage as a clown. But they do not laugh now.

Despite her being optimistic, the article concluded: "The men in the clown business rather enjoy Miss Williams' odd performances but they do not regard her as a serious competitor or believe that any other women are likely to follow her example".

How wrong they were! In the 1970s, French-born Annie Fratellini opened the circus school Académie Fratellini encouraged by her film-making husband Pierre Etaix. 

Fratellini's Auguste was recognizable as the clown familiar today. Her unique make-up was made up of a big red nose, tears, a black mouth and shiny decorations fixed to her eyes. When asked whether the character she acted was male or female, she insisted that "clowns have no gender". 

Canada is one of the few nations in the world to have two official languages：English and French. There are 10 provinces in the country, but only one of these—Quebec is known as "French Canada". This is because it was founded by French explorers while British adventurers discovered the rest.

Canada left the British Empire(帝国) in 1867 to become an independent country, and English and French have been recognized as the official languages ever since. 

Most people speak English as their first language and the two national television networks broadcast in English throughout the country. Apart from in Quebec and a few places on the east coast, French television is rare. 

The same goes for traffic signs and menus, for example, outside of Quebec, there are only a few places where you'll see traffic signs in French. In restaurants, it's almost impossible to find French on the menu unless you are in the heartland(中心地带) of French Canada. However, all products sold in Canada must, by law, have labels(标签) and instructions in both languages.

In Canada's English-speaking provinces, official bilingualism means that students can choose to complete a special French language course. Under this program, they are taught most of their subjects in French. If a student begins the course in kindergarten(幼儿园) or Grade One, it is likely that all his lessons will be in French. But if he starts at junior high school, 25 percent of the teaching will continue to be in English.

Rob Kenney's dad left him when he was little. At a time when he was on the path to young adulthood, he had no father to guide him. He had a painful experience as a young boy, but learned, with the help of his marriage, to forgive his dad just before his dad died in his 80s. Now, with a wife of 29 years and two successful adult children— Kristine, 27, who works with kids, and Kyle, a software engineer — Kenney wants to pay it forward.

"My goal in life was to raise good adults, not good children, " he explains. The fact that his kids have both grown up and left the house left him thinking how he might help others. And the quarantine (隔离期) was actually the perfect time for him to finally share some key life skills with other kids who might be growing up in difficult situations — maybe they've lost a parent or have parents who are absent.

So the dad set up a heart-warming YouTube program called Dad, How Do I?, a program that shares instructional videos like how to cook a meal and tie a perfect tie. 

His practical tips have really touched the viewers, which are growing in number day by day. Rob Kenney is just what the Internet needs — a caring dad who wants to share his skills. It's no wonder that he has gotten as many as 1. 9 million fans in return.

The unbelievable success of Rob Kenney's videos suggests the need for a good father figure in a child's life.

From teaching basic life skills to encouraging them to be kind, a father figure helps kids develop into active members of society. He especially instructs them in good manners, being honest, and being grateful.
