【推荐1】Earlier this year, my family experienced an unexpected tragedy. The kind of tragedy which knocks you out of yourself and turns your whole world upside down. A tragedy which also caused me to be out of work for three months. It was completely unforeseen and I had no time to put together an out-of-office plan.
I’ve worked at previous companies where this kind of tragedy would have been handled professionally; I would have been given the legally-required money and asked to leave. But at SAS Institute (an American developer of analytics software), my team stepped in and filled in with no questions or hesitations. My work was not left undone. My clients (客户) were patient when those picking up the pieces of projects unrelated to them needed some time to get familiar with the work. My management and colleagues checked on my family regularly. At last, my manager, my entire team and Human Resources Department helped me back to work at my own pace. They even changed my workspace over a weekend to better suit my personal needs before I even came back to work.
You see, SAS creates a family. The special attention to employee happiness and work/life balance makes that family possible. The flexible work environment enables most employees to create a schedule that best suits their personal needs — whether it’s attending a school play or taking an aging parent to the doctor. The Work/Life Office has a wealth of resources for college planning, anger management, sorrow, etc. But, as you can see, it doesn’t stop there. Most employees believe that SAS is their family. We rely on each other. We help each other succeed. We celebrate team successes. We hang out after work. Our kids play together. We laugh together and cry together.
Sure, we have a lot of convenience benefits at SAS. But, what really makes a difference to me is the SAS culture that the outside world doesn’t always see: The balance. The companionship. The management support. The family it allows me to have.
I’m so eager for others to see the side of SAS that I see every day.

【推荐2】I was waiting for a phone call from my agent. He had left a message the night before, telling me that my show was to be cancelled. I called him several times, but each time his secretary told me that he Was in a meeting and that he would call me later. So I waited and waited, but there was still no call, Three hours passing by, I became more and more impatient. I was certain that my agent didn't care about my work, and be didn't care about me. I was overcome with that thought. I started to shout at the phone, “Let me wait, will you? Who do you think you are?”
At that time I didn't realize my wife was looking on. Without showing her surprise, she rushed in, seized the phone, tore of the wires, and shouted at the phone, “Yeah! Who do you think you are? Bad telephone! Bad telephone!” And she swept it into the wastebasket.
I stood watching her, speechless. What on earth?
She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house, “Now hear this! All objects in this room—if you do anything to upset my husband, out you go!”
Then she turned to me, kissed me, and said calmly, "Honey, you just have to learn how to take control.” With that, she left the room.
After watching a crazy woman rushing in and out, shouting at everything in sight, I noticed that something in my mood had changed. I was laughing. How could I have trouble with that phone? Her antics helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things. Twenty minutes later my agent did call. I was able to listen to him and talk to him calmly.

【推荐3】Clock making is a traditional craft which involves the building and repair of clocks. But it is now on the red list drawn up by the Heritage Crafts Association(HCA), which has warned that more specialists are retiring than entering the profession.
David Poole, a former master, said, “The shortage of clock makers is a problem. Whereas there used to be clock makers on the high street, a clock repair shop is a rare sight today. People will find it extremely difficult to identify anyone to repair their clocks.”
There are only about 250 makers and repairers left across Britain, according to HCA’s research. When specialists are near retirement, they often cannot afford to take on apprentices(学徒)as happened in the past. Besides, it is feared that the few training courses that have survived will not fill the gaps.
Howard Walwyn, a leading dealer in Kensington, warned that, if expertise in repairing is lost, clocks will become inanimate objects rather than living things, adding, “Most clock makers have fiddled with(捣鼓)clocks as kids, taking them apart, and trying to get them to work. The problem is that young kids now are spending all their time in front of screens and show little interest in clock making. I've got some younger clock makers, but they're few and far between.”
“There are also concerns that too many clock makers are prepared to use modern mechanical solutions to make a clock work, even if those solutions are aesthetically(审美地)wrong,” said Jonathan Betts, an adviser to the National Trust. He added, “Museum collections and more sensitive private collectors would much rather not have a clock cleaned so it looks brand new, but an awful lot of restorers reject that.” Mr. Poole, who became a clock maker in the1990s,said,“There are few people coming into the business. Most people who are in it are edging towards retirement, as am I. If people aren't skilled, all those lovely things won't be looked after properly.”

【推荐1】On account of the government shutdown, many of the city’s best attractions, such as the national museums, are closed. It may affect your social plans. That’s especially true if you have out-of-town visitors coming to the District. Don’t worry! For every closed museum, we’ve offered up a suitable substitute that is privately run, thus not subject to the shutdown. Here’s where you can go instead.
Banneker-Douglass Museum or Alexandria Black History Museum
The National Museum of African American History and Culture is one of the hottest draws on the National Mall, with free tickets taken weeks in advance. Its sister museum, the Anacostia Community Museum, takes a community-focused look at African American history. So does the Banneker- Douglass Museum in Annapolis, which traces the African American experience in Maryland, and the Alexandria Black History Museum, where exhibitions honor local activists and explore the influence of slavery in the area. And unlike the African American Museum, neither requires you to plan ahead.
Glenstone
Wandering through the galleries at Glenstone, you’ll come across some of the biggest names in 20th century art—Jackson Pollock, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Robert Rauschenberg. Glenstone sits on a 230-acre estate (土地) that doubles as an outdoor sculpture garden. Free tickets for Glenstone are often reserved weeks in advance, but 72 free tickets are available every day for anyone who takes a Montgomery County Ride—On Bus from Rockville Metro Station to the museum.
The African Art Museum of Maryland
Masks, musical instruments and jewelry can be found in Fulton, where the African Art Museum of Maryland houses a collection of traditional and contemporary African artworks and objects. And the best part, for visitors on a budget? Admission is free.

【推荐2】Darrell Blatchley，a marine biologist and environmentalist based in the Philippine city of Davao，received a call from the Philippine，Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources(渔业与水产资源局) early Friday morning reporting a death of a young whale.
When the necropsy(尸检) was performed，Blatchley told NPR，he was not prepared for the amount of plastic they found in the whale’s stomach.“It was full of plastic nothing but nonstop plastic，” he said.“It was filled to the point that its stomach was as hard as a baseball.That means that this animal has been suffering not for days or weeks but for months or even a year or more，” Blatchley added.
Blatchley is the founder and owner of the D’Bone Collector Museum，a natural history museum in Davao.In the coming days，the museum will display all the items found in the whale’s system.Blatchley and his team work with the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources and other organizations to assist in rescue and recovery of marine animals.
“Within the last 10 years，we have recovered 61 whales and dolphins just within the Davao Gulf，” he said.“Of them,57 have died due to man whether they took plastic or fishing nets or other waste，or gotten caught in pollution—and four were pregnant.”

【推荐3】Held from Nov 5 to 10 in Shanghai, the third China International Import Expo (CIIE) became “a perfect platform for promoting international innovation and cooperation”, People’s Daily noted. Let’s take a look at two of them.
Portable kayak
Lightweight equipment is what all sport lovers desire. At the CIIE, the French sporting goods company Decathlon launched its portable kayak ITIWIT X500. According to the company, the kayak measures 380 cm in length and 65 cm in width when inflated (充气). When not in use, it can be folded up to the size of a backpack.
