Moringa (辣木), a kind of miracle tree, has come a long way today to become a symbol of the fight against growing nutrition deficiency (营养不足) across the globe. It is also a crop suited to the climatic conditions of the region, which is unusually rich in its nutrition content literally from top to bottom.

Supporting learning：

The Moringa Farm Internship Program is sort of like a live, interactive slideshow of agriculture making of Moringa from “Soil to Super food” that touches all the participant’s senses.

The Program’s Objectives：

The Moringa Farm Internship Program is devoted to enriching the knowledge and lives of young people by providing them with a unique educational experience on an organic Moringa Farm in rural Jaipur, India. Program participants can learn about conservation, maintenance (维护), care, and management of Moringa Farming by means of hands-on work experience with local Moringa Farm staff.

Participants will be able to interact with Moringa specialists and educators, on all issues that may affect their operations. Experts will let you know management strategies and equipment operation up close on hand to answer your specific questions.

The Moringa Farm Internship will provide an excellent opportunity to learn about sustainable tools, techniques, and approaches that can be used in Moringa Production and value-added production systems, righting (突出) pest and disease management, leaf/seed production, and tools and equipment for commercial production.

We had two dogs, Lucky and Lily Bit. Lucky loved to find ways to leave the confines (束 缚) of her indoor living routine, which made her a masterful escape artist. Lily Bit, on the other hand, did exactly as she was told, never straying, always staying close to home... except when she came under the influence of Lucky.

Whenever the two got out together, they could be seen out of sights often staying away for hours. More often than not, they’d arrive home near suppertime, covered in mud and leaves and smelling to high heaven from their afternoon outing in the woods.

I remember one such occasion when they’d once again mysteriously escaped, except this time, they returned clean and no worse for wear. It wasn’t until a few days later that we learned why. My wife ran into our neighbor Carl who lived a few houses down from us.

“I saw your two dogs the other day,” Carl said with a smile,

“Oh, yes? I’m so sorry. They’d been so good lately, so it was such a surprise when they got out. I sure hope they didn’t cause any trouble.” my wife replied,

“Oh, no, no trouble at all. Did you have any idea where they went?”

“No,” my wife answered.

“They attended my dog’s funeral (葬礼)” Carl said sadly.

“What?” Ann exclaimed, “Oh, no. I didn’t know Toby had died.

“Yep, it died a couple days ago. I was burying him in the back lot when your two dogs came running up. They sat down not far from me while. I finished burying him, then they left.”

“Wow that’s amazing! ” my wife replied. “Toby was Lily Bit’s father, you know. ”

“No, I didn’t know that,” Carl replied, “but I guess that explains why she felt like she needed to be there. She had to say her final goodbye.”

Two years ago， Kiirsat Ceylan was in New York to give a talk about disability rights at the U． N． Blind since birth， the Turkish man was struggling to find his hotel， holding a cane in one hand and pulling his luggage with the other．

"Not surprisingly， suddenly I bumped into a pole, and he says, "It was a bit bloody．"

The problem with a cane is that， while it can tell you what's on the grounds it doesn't help with objects at the body or head level． It wasn't the first time Ceylan had run into something， injuring himself．

"" I have no problem with my scars， which make me more handsome I guess，" Ceylan says， laughing． "But I don't need new ones．"

With WeWalk， a new smart cane， Ceylan hopes to help other blind people navigate their environments more easily.The cane uses an ultrasonic（超声波）sensor which detects objects at body or head level and gives a warning vibration． WeWalk users pair the cane with their smartphones and then use the cane's touchpad to access features like voice assistant or navigation Before leaving home， they can plug their destination into Google Maps and get spoken directions as they walk In the future， Ceylan hopes to connect WeWalk with public transportation and ridesharing services．

Assistive technology is often expensive for blind people， says Eelke Folmer， a computer science professor at the University of Nevada! Reno． "But developers fail to realize their devices are out of reach for many blind people， To Folmer， the price point-﹩ 500-- sets the WeWalk cane apart from other technologies．

Ceylan sees WeWalk as part of an attempt to help blind people achieve greater freedom of movement， which he believes will give them greater access to education and jobs． The canes are already having an impact on users， Ceylan says． He recently received an email from a teacher in Ireland who had become blind as an adult． He'd been depressed and housebound． But since getting a WeWalk cane， your device forced me to go out． It became my anti- depressant． " he wrote．

When you think of a national park, you generally picture fresh air and wild animals, right? Well, now you're going to have to add tea shops and something called "the Tube" to your definition, because London, England has signed up to be the first "National Park City."

London was established by the Romans around 2,000 years ago and has been continually inhabited (居住于) since then. In all that time, however, nobody had the idea to replace all the parks with big box stores or high buildings, which means London already has a much lower urban density (密度)than most of the worlds cities. Nowadays about a third of the city is green space,

In July 2019, London announced its willingness to become the world’s first National Park City. Now the city is moving toward the goal of achieving 50% green space by the year 2050 by connecting and expanding public parks, greening up unused parking lots and the private yards of existing and new houses, fixing some green roofs on existing buildings and even cutting holes in fences for wildlife to pass through.

"Inspired by the aims and values of our precious rural national parks, the London National Park City is basically about making life better in the capital through both small everyday things and long-term strategic thinking," Daniel Raven-Ellison, who began the campaign to make London a National Park City six years ago said in a press release. "We've been doing that in London for centuries, which is why London is so green and diverse. "

London will have a much easier job achieving this type of green transformation than more densely-urbanized cities like Paris and New York, which have 10% and 27% greenspace, respectively. But that doesn't mean it's not possible——the National Park City Foundation hopes to employ 25 more cities in addition to London by the year 2025. Glasgow, Scotland and Newcastle upon Tyne in northeast England are both currently considering becoming National Park Cities.
