The signs appeared practically overnight. They appeared everywhere. Each featured just a few uplifting words in simple black type: "Don't Give Up." "You Are Worthy of Love. "At the high school in Newberg, Oregon, two students killed themselves that year, so the town of 25, 000 instantly understood the messages. For days, what no one could figure out was who had planted them.
Amy Wolff had. She felt necessary to address Newberg's grief. She planted the signs anonymously(匿名)because she wanted them to be about their message, not any one person.
Yet as Wolff saw the deep influence her signs had on her neighbors, she decided to share her message publicly. Instantly, her mailbox was flooded with requests for more signs. She asked a friend, graphic designer Jessica Brittell, to print more. "We decided to just ride it out, just keep going until the orders stop, "says Wolff.
That was in May 2017. Since then, the Don't Give Up Movement launched by Wolff has spread from Newberg to the hearts and yards of people in every state and several countries. Wolff charges only the cost of materials and shipping. "It's a terrible business decision if we wanted to function like a business, "she says.
One of the most heartening elements of the Don't Give Up Movement is that it has gone viral in a remarkably human way. People have taken to planting the signs in their lawns, taking selfies, and then posting them to share.
"It was the best feeling in the world that I could have an impact outside of school by using these products, "says a teacher, in Texas teaching a lesson in unity after his classroom moved online. "This was a good way to let them know that we care even when we can't see them."
Wolff's message is about to grow yet again. "But there has never been a more fierce backdrop to the power of hope and sympathetic action than right now," Wolff shares.
To say there are many new holiday romantic comedies made for television every year is the kind of understatement nearly like a joke. One of the reasons they tend to be formulaic is that to tell a love story in roughly an hour and a half without challenging an audience's settled expectations, there are only so many ways to go with the rhythm. Perhaps that's why Netflix has better luck with Dash＆Lily, an eight-episode limited series that's got the charm that a lot of holiday films lack.
Our story begins when a lonely Lily leaves an interesting note in a book on the shelf at The Strand, hoping a stranger will start an adventure with her. Dash finds it and reads it, and he accepts its challenge. Thus begins a correspondence in which they each write in the book and then leave it somewhere for the other, so that they never meet in person, but they get to send each other to their favorite places, sometimes to complete dares before the book can be found. Now, you do not want to think too carefully about this——the idea that Lily's original clue would be found by an age—appropriate straight boy who likes mysteries and looks like he was born to be in adaptations almost as much as she does is the height of magic, so just stay relaxed and go with it.
These eight episodes, each around 25 minutes, never drag; they fly by joyfully. The ending, as is often the case with love stories, sort of lands with a cloud of glitter, a little messy but worth cheering for. It's as lovely and comfortable as you could want, just about perfect for a weekend with a blanket over you.
How important is fish farming? Very. Although it's an ancient business, the rise of aquaculture has been one of the biggest revolutions in food supply over the past half century.
Aquaculture has made fish more affordable for consumers around the world, popularizing the consumption of what used to be expensive, and easing the pressure on hard-pressed wild stocks. Aquaculture also has many clear environmental benefits: compared with other ways of growing animal protein, it uses little or no land, and has low greenhouse emissions. And while the world has traditionally had a bad record of regulating wild fishing, fish farming generally occurs within the boundaries of governments, meaning it should, in theory, be much easier to ensure that good practices are upheld.
Crowding large numbers of fish into limited spaces means that waste products, including waste, uneaten food and dead fish, are poured into the surrounding waters, polluting them. Besides, the pesticides and drugs used to treat conditions that upset fish in concentrated numbers can also affect local wildlife. Many farmed fish are fed on other fish, so the industry also puts pressure on wild stocks: about a fifth of all caught fish, some 18 million tonnes, is used for fish oil and fishmeal production. There is also the problem of fish escaping, with potentially dangerous effects on surrounding ecosystems.
In 2018 the Scottish Parliament's environment committee published a report into the fish farming industry's environmental effects, stating that key problems simply hadn't been tackled, and that the Scottish government's plan to double salmon output by 2030 could cause" irrecoverable damage" to ecosystems. Since then, protections have been toughened. There is now more pressure from regulators to situate farms in remote, deep-water locations. Meanwhile, though, catches of Scottish wild salmon have fallen to their lowest level since records began in 1952. "There are good reasons for fish farming and real dangers to it as well. "concludes an official."The question is how to make it work."
The four main parts of a research paper are the introduction, body, conclusion, and reference page. These parts can be broken down further into smaller parts depending upon the type of research paper that is being written. Some papers require an abstract, experiment methods, and results, for example. It provides the reader with as much information as possible on a specific topic.
The introduction is the first paragraph and may be the most important part of the paper. It should also include what the author or researcher expected to find during the research, which is called a hypothesis(假设).
The body of a research paper contains the most part of information. The body can be separated into three parts, including the experimental methods, the results, and a discussion. The experimental methods are the steps the researcher took to answer the proposed research question. The discussion section is where the researcher writes about the experimental findings and how those findings relate to the original hypothesis.
It should tie all of the parts of a research paper together. It should explain why the research conducted was important and how it relates to other research that has already been published. The conclusion is usually only one paragraph in a short research paper.
The reference page should list each of the books, journals, websites, and any other publications that were used to write the paper. Most follow specific guidelines depending on what kind of paper is being written.
A. The conclusion is the final section.
B. Well, what is a research paper about?
C. The best research paper is thorough.
D. The reference page can also be called a bibliography.
E. So most research papers can keep readers well informed.
F. It should state the main point or the question that is being researched.
G. The results are the actions and reactions that took place during the experiment or the answer to the question.

"Education" is generally defined as the process of learning and acquiring information. Formal learning in schools or universities (be) one of the most common types, though self-teaching and so-called" life experiences" can also qualify. Communities around the world place a high value on educating people of all ages, formally or informally. It is widely believed that constant exposure new ideas and skills makes people better workers, thinkers, and societal (contribute).
Most people associate education with schools and classrooms trained teachers present information to students. Classroom learning generally starts when a child is (relative)young—around age five in most countries—and continues until the teenage years. The purpose of most classroom learning is not to prepare a child for a specific job, but rather (help) him or her develop critical reasoning and thinking skills. Reading, writing, and math are very common lessons for young learners. As students progress in (they) schooling, they often come into contact with more (challenge) subjects like written composition, history, and advanced sciences.
Exposing students to new ideas and essential facts is only part of most educational goals. Also, students (expect) to retain most if not all of the information that they learn in school. Teachers and professors commonly use exams and graded assignments to assess learning.
It was lunchtime, Jerry, David, Tom, and I went to the dining hall to have lunch. I glanced across the busy cafeteria and saw the new student, Jack. He was holding his plate and waiting in lines.
David noticed him too. "Why's the new kid dressed like the headmaster?" he asked. Tom and Jimmy laughed.
"Jack's cool. He's in my English and history classes," I said. However, I kept the truth that Jack and I had become friends when we worked on a project together. We discovered that we were both enthusiastic readers something I would never admit to Jerry, David, Tom.
I saw that Jack was walking toward us. "Don't do it," I thought, but in seconds he was at our table. My friends raised their eyebrows. Jerry, David, Tom piled their backpacks on the table and chairs so that there was no space left for another person to sit down. David said. "I don't think we have room."
This awkward situation froze the air. I could feel Jack looking at me, but I stared at my lunch as if it contained precious pearls of wisdom instead of rice and beans. After a long, uncomfortable pause, Jack left. I should have spoken up for him, but I couldn't walk away from my three friends, could I?
Jack didn't speak to me after that meeting. He was soon hanging around with another group of kids. A few months later, I saw an announcement about Jack being chosen to be president of the school book club. I was happy for Jack's achievements, but I realized I had made a big mistake when I said nothing at the lunch table that day. Why was I so afraid that my friends might find out that I like to read?
As I stared at the announcement. I knew I needed to apologize to Jack — even if he did not want to become my friend again. I thought that my three friends would not agree. I also thought that I risked losing them as well. However, I knew that I would lose myself if I did nothing.

As the dismissal bell rang, I gathered up my books, took a deep breath, and went to find Jack.
……
Jack nodded, and then mentioned my three friends.
