Chloe Chang wasn't sure about giving up her blue, pink, and purple mermaid(美人鱼)palace. Her twin brother Clark had packed a paper bag full of T-shirts and shorts that no longer fit him. "It's time to go, " called their mother, Mrs. Chang.

The twins raced from their bedroom to the living room. On the floor, they saw a basket full of books and some toys. Clark emptied his bag down while Chloe held on to her mermaid palace. Their dad, Mr. Chang, packed everything into the family's big-wheeled cart. When he reached for the palace, Chloe put out her hand and insisted on carrying it herself. 

As they left their home, Mr. Chang and Mrs. Chang took turns pulling the cart to the park, with Chloe and Clark walking behind. The palace felt heavy in Chloe's arms, but she refused to put it in the cart. A while later, Clark pointed at a banner(横幅) hanging between two trees that read in big letters: NEIGHBORHOOD GIVEAWAY. "Look! It's right there!" Clark shouted.

Their neighborhood park was full of bags and boxes. Each family brought gently used items that they no longer needed, and everyone was invited to take what they would like at the monthly gathering. Clark's eyes grew wide as he watched all the toys resting on picnic blankets(毯子), including baby toys, plastics and buckets, stuffed animals, and 300-piece puzzles. One puzzle showing puppy dogs playing in grass caught Clark's attention. The dog on the box reminded him of his pet Chewie. However, he put the puzzle down, thinking of the huge number of puzzles he already had. Afterwards Clark happily jumped behind his mom. 

Mr. Chang unpacked the items they had brought, placing them on a red blanket. "Why do we have to give away our things?" asked Chloe unhappily. "Honey, I know it's hard to say goodbye to things you used to play with. But your mom and I want to give away things we don't need anymore. Our neighbors can use them, " Mr. Chang explained.

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.

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.
