Let's wage a war on loneliness

Social isolation poses more health risks than obesity or smoking 15 cigarettes a day, according to research published by Brigham Young University. The 1 is that loneliness is a huge, if silent, risk factor.

Loneliness affects physical health in two ways. First, it produces stress hormones that can lead to many health problems. Second, people who live alone are less likely to go to the doctor 2 , to exercise or to eat a healthy diet.

Public health experts in many countries are 3 how to 4 widespread loneliness in our society. Last year Britain even appointed a minister for loneliness. "Feelings of loneliness 5 almost every one of us at some point," its minister for loneliness Baroness Barran said. "Loneliness can lead to very serious health 6 for individuals who become isolated and disconnected."

Barran 7 a "Let's Talk Loneliness" campaign that sparked difficult conversations across Britain. He is now supporting " 8 benches," which are public seating areas where people are encouraged to go and chat with ore another. The minister is also 9 that public transportation should be stopped from being cut in ways that leave people isolated.

More than one-fifth of adults in both the United States and Britain said in a 2018 survey that they often or always feel lonely. More than half of American adults are unmarried, and researchers have found that even among those who are married, 30% of relationships are 10 strained. A quarter of Americans now live alone, and as the song says, one is the loneliest number.

Technology in higher education: learning with it instead of from it.

Now, researchers at the University of Missouri have found that activity - based learning, rather than lecture - based, imporves student creativity and learning by allowing students to use technology to 1 their own original ideas.

Isa Jahnke, associate professor in the MU College of Education's school of Information Science and Learning Technologies, collaborated with former doctoral student Julia Liebscher to study how higher education professors in Europe use mobile 2 in their classes. She found that student creativity was most enhanced by professors who allowed their students to use technology in a team setting to come up with an unusual product or 3 .

For example, one group of students in a history class developed an app that virtually teaches users about the history 4 the Berlin Wall. Rather than simply lecturing the material to the students, Jahnke found that allowing them to use technology in a collaborative way enhanced the students' creativity and 5 of the content.

"This research is useful for professors to rethink how they 6 their existing courses," Jahnke said. "We need to shift away from purely lecture-based learning where students are just consumers of information toward a more meaningful 7 approach with technology where students are able to come up with creative and new solutions in a team setting."

Jahnke added that there are resources at MU, such as the Teaching For Learning Center, to help professors 8 their course designs in the ever-changing educational landscape.

"If we have universities that are producing more creative-thinking students, then we have more people who can help come up with 9 for all of society's grand challenges," Jahnke said. "Creativity will lead to better inventors, managers and business owners, but first we need to ask ourselves as educators if we are using technology to put our students in positions to be 10 in the first place."

The Japan that can’t keep up

The spotlight has cost losses of Kobe Steel, Japan’s largest steelmaker, whose customers include Ford Motor and Boeing. Its market of $ 2.7 billion is about $ 1.7 billion less than before it admitted to the fake data. As the criticism over Kobe’s behavior 1 , Japan’s reputation for excellence may be the biggest loser.

Japanese manufactures were once held in awe (敬畏) for their mastery of 2 manufacturing and continuous improvement, which revolutionized business practices the world over. But an increasing number of companies in China, South Korea, and elsewhere are now capable of competing with — and often beating — Japan’s long-established enterprises, forcing them to scramble (争抢).

The latest 3 of just how desperate many Japanese companies have become to stay ahead of foreign rivals: Kobe Steel Ltd. 4 this month that for years it had faked data on the quality of its aluminum, copper, and steel products. Now Kobe Chief Executive Officer Hiroya Kawasaki is leading an internal committee to 5 quality issues. And the U.S. Department of Justice has requested Kobe Steel 6 documents related to the data, the company said, adding that it will cooperate.

Unfortunately for Japan Inc.’s reputation as a trusted supplier, such 7 have repeatedly commanded headlines. Japan obviously doesn’t have a monopoly on corporate shenanigans (诡计), but fraud is particularly 8 for the nation because its flagship manufactures have banked for years on a reputation for quality. “Japanese manufactures are very aware that their brand, their reputation, the 9 of their business rest on quality,” an expert says.

Two major factors seem to be pushing the nation’s manufactures to cross the line. First, Japanese companies face enormous pressure from upstart Chinese rivals. Secondly, a whistle blower protection law 10 in Japan in 2006 has increased the chance of wrongdoing coming to light — and the digitization of records and internal conversations has made it easier for incriminating data to be passed along to regulations or authorities.

The Trunkster, a bag with built-in smart features might just challenge the standard roller bag. The main security feature: It's zipperless. A sliding roll top-door design allows for easy 1 by the owner, but reduces the risk of theft or accidental opening during baggage 2 . If airport security has to search the bag, there a TSA-approved combination lock. Need to juice up your phone? A 3 battery can charge portable devices through a USB connection. Perhaps the coolest part - especially if your holiday shopping habits put you at a risk of going beyond baggage weight 4 --- is a built-in digital scale. Want to know how much stuff you're pulling? Lift the bag and the display on the handle shows weight in pounds or kilograms.

Trunkster co-founder Jesse Potash said he and his co-founder, based in New York, created the luggage in 2014, after finding nothing they believed could 5 accessibility. They wanted to “completely 6 “ the classic case -- with zippers -- for “the modern, minimalist(极简的)traveler,” Potash says. He adds that they didn't want to 7 the user with “as many features as possible” because that would not be required.

One more feature you can add on? Tracking. Airlines are 8 doing a better job these days of not losing bags. But for those who want to track their cases there are stand-alone gadgets(精巧的装置) like the Trakdot or Pocket-Finder Luggage Tracker. For an extra $40, you can add a subscription-free, removable GPS to the Trunkster.

But smarting up a 9 object comes with a problem. “When you have this much technology in a suitcase ... there are more things to change,' says George Hobica, a world traveler. Besides, the Trunkster is all black, and we all know that finding a black-colored bag in a sea of suitcases is like searching for a blade of grass on a football field. Attention, luggage manufacturers looking to 10 the typical pattern: Go bolder with unusual colors and designs.

Finding Comfort in War and Peace

Over the past 15 years, Yiyun Li, a Chinese-American author, has read War and Peace at least a dozen times. Her hardback copy of Leo Tolstoy's 1,200 - page saga bristles with colored notes, like some exotic lizard's spine. The novel is not just a masterclass in fiction, Ms. Li believes, but a cure for 1 . At the most difficult times in her life, she says, she has turned to it again and again, reassured by its " 2 " in the face of uncertainty.

War and Peace - originally 3 The Year 1805 - is widely considered the world's greatest novel. It is also among the most daunting(令人敬畏的), acknowledged Richard Pevear, one of its translators, "as 4 as Russia itself." Its huge canvas(画布)encompasses(包含)not just Napoleon's wars against the Russian and Austro-Hungarian empires from 1805 to 1812, but a cast whose actions and emotions span the breath of human consciousness. As a literary critic has noted, Tolstoy is the supreme novelist of human conflicts. His epic(史诗)is a(n) 5 examination of how people respond to the pressure of both wars and ordinary life.

So large is Tolstoy's world, Ms. Li reckoned, that there could be no better companion for people 6 in isolation. She thought of virtual book club to sustain readers through the lockdown. Participants around the globe would plough through this book together and share their thoughts on social media. It would be an anchor in 7 times. To their amazement, when it began in mid-March 3,000 people on six continents signed up.

Other book clubs have 8 up to discuss great literature during the pandemic. But Tolstoy's novel reflects the atmosphere of life in quarantine better. Its 9 structure, shifting between battlefields and the salons of Russian high society, mirrors the disorienting split in readers' own attention - between their own personal, stilled states and the calamity(灾祸) 10 outside.

All of us rely on what we see. We say to ourselves, "I know, I was there; I saw it happen," and that settle the matter. Or does it? Can we really trust the 1 of our eyes?

Take competitive sports. Fans who see the same game will not agree with each other and will disagree with the referee. “He was out of bounds when he caught the pass” says one fan. Says another, “You're crazy. I saw it with my own eyes. He was five feet in bounds. You must be blind.” The referee 2 that the receiver did step out of bounds. But thousands of fans are still not 3 because they were there!

It's the same story in the court-room. Trial 4 depends on witnesses giving testimony (证词). But just now reliable is the testimony of a person who reports what he has seen? In a recent study, ten thousand 5 were asked to describe the man they saw 6 a crime. The study reveals that, on the average, the witnesses didn’t play 7 on them!

What can we do to keep error to 8 ? First of all, don't let your emotions interfere with your vision. Don't see something because you want to see it. Secondly, try to stay relaxed. If you are 9 you are likely to see red when the color is blue. And finally, it helps to make notes of what you see. Don't rely on your memory alone. Take pictures, make recordings, and use any other 10 to reduce distortion (歪曲).

In recent weeks, many parents have realized the difficult truth about school this fall because of COVID-19. Hoping for a better 1 , parents around U.S. have started organizing “pandemic (流行病) pods”, or home schooling pods, for the fall, in which groups of 3 to 10 students learn together in homes under the guidance of the children’s parents or a hired teacher.

For parents who can organize and 2 them, pods seem like an easy choice. “I don’t believe that the online courses for that age group are 3 . Kids at this age really need that multimodal sensory learning (多模式感官学习).” one parent said.

These pods could 4 families with a schooling choice that feels safe—yet also allows kids to have fun and build social skills. However, it also has unavoidable shortcomings.

Depending on how the pods are set up, they may offer parents break. But given that pods can be 5 , complicated to organize and self-selecting, it is possible that they are most popular among wealthy families, experts say, and may 6 educational inequality.

Another 7 about pods is that families may not know how to minimize Covid risks. Pods shouldn’t have more than five kids 8 , said Saskia Popescu, an infection prevention expert. When you add together the teacher and all of the kids’ family members, a seemingly small pod ends up including dozens of people, and the more people in it, the greater the 9 for coronavirus exposure (接触). Furthermore, families in learning pods shouldn’t socialize with people outside the pod unless they wear masks and 10 socially distant, Dr. Popescu said. Pods should have clear rules on wearing masks and washing hands.

No Destination Is the Wrong Place to Go

Everyone has a list of destinations they promise themselves to visit during their lifetime. People travel for endless reasons,whether it’s to experience different cultures,see natural 1 of the world,or learn about heritage.All these ideas are exciting options,because in every situation,you will be 2 to something unfamiliar and life-changing.

I recently had a discussion with someone about my student abroad experience.They listened as I recounted my 3 around Italy and my additional travels. “I would love to do something like that,” they said, “but I feel like everyone goes to Europe now.It’s not really that 4 anymore.”

I was pretty shocked by such a statement.Since when was traveling anywhere not cool enough?Naturally,the older you get ,the more people you’re going to know,especially those who have traveled to 5 parts of the world.However,does standing underneath the Eiffel Tower have less value to me because so many travelers have done the exact same thing?Or climbing and taking a picture at the top of the Florence Duomo also means the decreased value?

My answer:absolutely not.Reading travel blogs and 6 at photographs is helpful and enjoyable,but nothing close to 7 experiencing that place.The truth is,every new destination is unique,and it’s nearly impossible to make a “wrong” decision.

It is important to focus on your own personal journey,not the experience of others.Every city, state,and country,has thousands of different things to 8 .The places you will visit all have fascinating people,different kinds of delicious food you’ve never tried before,and unbelievable history that will blow your mind.Travelling will nevertheless change you and leave an imprint on the way you see the world—no matter where you go.

Whether the destinations we desire are 9 simple or obscure(不清楚的)in the eyes of others,every experience has its own unique value.Keep your adventures 10 while also taking advantage of the opinions and advice of others.In every new destination,you will find a new part of yourself.Truly,no destination is the wrong place to go.

With its wonderful Georgian and Victorian architecture, and winding medieval streets, it’s easy to see why Edinburgh has been listed as a World Heritage Site.

The 1 of Edinburgh is fascinating. Edinburgh Castle dominates the urban skyline, lying on the cliff of an ancient volcano right in the center of the city. Yet Edinburgh is not 2 in the past. And neither is it all about bagpipes, shortbread, whisky and tartan.

In fact, the city is one of the most vibrant, international cities in Europe and is 3 voted as one of the most desirable places to live in the world. The capital is 4 with arts, culture, sports and attractions and is famous for playing host to the world’s largest arts festival. After dark Edinburgh has a lively nightlife with 5 bars and pubs, restaurants, clubs and live entertainment to rival any European city.

In Edinburgh, there’s plenty of open space too, with a large number of public parks and green spaces 6 in the busy city center. For active types, there’s a(n) 7 and varied choice of activities and sports in Edinburgh and the surrounding area. Or if you just want to 8 your wallet, the capital is a great place to shop. This is a city that knows how to be both 9 and modern.

The capital of Scotland is a great place to live and study in, with a wide range of theatres, galleries, clubs and shops to 10 , not to mention the plenty of arty bars and cafes.
