Cedar, a third-generation beekeeper from the countryside of New South Wales, Australia, says that he was inspired to try and design a simply hive （蜂箱）after his brother was stung （蛰）during one of their honey-gathering tasks.

The young guy knew that there must be a clever way to gather honey without having to wear protective suits, open the hive, and disturb the little bees. After several years. Cedar and his father Stuart finally perfected their invention—the Flow Hive, which can save beekeepers hours of work simply by channeling all of its honey into a tap that can be turned on and off at will.

Four years after their initial success, the Flow Hive has had a big influence on honeybee populations around the world. The father and his son say that they have successfully shipped over 51,000 hives to 150 different countries. Since they introduced the hive in 2015, the number of beekeeper in the US alone has increased by over 10%.

Their success is particularly significant since honeybee populations have been steadily decreasing as a result of habitat loss. That's why now Stuart and Cedar Anderson are donating their hive earnings to international honeybee advocacy groups.

“We’re proud to have donated 100% of profits from the sale of our Flow Pollinator （传粉昆虫）House to nine local pollinator projects in Australia and the US that are at work protecting wild habitats all around the world," said the Anderson in a statement. "Pollinators need large areas of habitat to grow healthily—the more we can do to conserve native habitats, the more opportunities these tiny environmental champions will have to do their important work."

【推荐1】Helping voters out

The US 2020 presidential election has captured people’s hearts around the world. In order to allow voters to vote in person, poll (投票站) workers need to work at different vote centers. In past elections, most poll workers were elderly, but now that they are more at risk of severe symptoms from COVID-19, there was a growing need for young people to serve as poll workers.

I first became aware of the opportunity to become a poll worker from a story on my Instagram feed from an account called “Poll Hero”. It mentioned a large-scale recruitment (招聘) effort for young poll workers, and I immediately became interested in participating. I signed up to be a poll worker from the website, and a few days later, I registered through the High School Student Election Worker Program with the assistance of a Poll Hero volunteer.

After registering, there were two steps I had to take in order to become certified to serve in this election. The first was an online training course. The course takes around three hours but can be completed in multiple sittings. It covers the different roles workers have, different procedures workers must follow and provides information on how to use tools such as the electronic pollbook. The session is interactive, and I often engaged in simulated (模拟的) situations and knowledge checks to ensure that I understood each lesson. After taking the online course, I had to pass an exam with an 80 percent score or higher to complete that part of my certification. On my first attempt, I passed with a score of exactly 80 percent.

After passing the online course, I attended a two-hour in-person training session where I worked with a real electronic pollbook to practice what I would do on Election Day. The instructor took us through many different scenarios where we practiced assisting different types of voters. I was pleased to see many fellow young people attend the session!

In total, I spent 37 hours helping voters vote during this election. With my mask on the entire time, I checked in voters and helped them use the ballot (投票) marking devices where they could cast their vote. I also loved meeting fellow workers who are passionate about being engaged and helping our community. Taking part in this historic election is something I will never forget.

2. What do we know about the online training course?

【推荐2】The open office can be a nightmare(噩梦), especially when you’re working on something that requires your attention.     1     Maybe they’re having loud conversations. What’s the best way to cope with the noises and distractions in your office without coming across as rude? Here are some ideas.

Discuss the office rules

David Burkus, a professor at Oral Roberts University, suggests, “    2    ”. You should first speak to your manager. Burkus recommends telling your boss, “I’d like to get the conversation going, but I don’t think I’m the right person to bring it up. Can you help?”

Move around the office

Everyone needs a place where it’s possible to work free of distractions. And even the most open office tends to have some spaces that allow employees to remove themselves from the annoyance.    3     It’s often helpful to move to a different floor of your building.

Leave the office

    4     The local library or a nearby cafe is a good choice. Depending on what you’re working on and where you are most productive. For instance, you might say to your manager, “When I write these reports, I need to be focused. Can I go across the street to work at the coffee shop to do this work?”

Ask to move desks

If your problem isn’t the open office, but a talkative and very loud coworker, it might be time to speak with your manager about moving desks. Burkus suggests saying something like, “    5    ”.

A．You can ask your colleagues to leave away if necessary.
B．To make matters worse, your colleagues can be distracting.
C．If necessary, ask your boss for permission to work elsewhere.
D．After all, you will feel much safer having an office with a door.
E．It’ll be easier for me to stay on deadline if I move to a quieter place.
F．You should take full advantage of empty conference rooms, quiet tea rooms, etc.
G．Have a conversation with your team about how to work efficiently in an open office.

In this co-operation, we can enjoy greater joy and achievements. We are proud of ourselves on being a member of a successful and meaningful organization.     5
