It has been nearly 11 days since the earthquake and its aftershocks struck the Turkey-Syria border, and rescues are still underway. As teams of doctors, firefighters, police officers, construction workers tried to search through the rubble (瓦砾) of fallen buildings, they were uncovering surviving people as well as animals. Ali Cakas saved a scared cat from the rubble, and the kitty has been glued to his side ever since.
A video shows the man, still in uniform and protective equipment, taking a picture with the cat on his shoulder. The black-spotted cat clearly has an appreciation for his hero, as he does not move from the firefighter's side even for a moment. "We named it Enkaz which means rubble in Turkish, because we brought it out of the ruins," the firefighter says. "It might sound a little off-putting, but we wanted it to be a memory this way."
As heart-warming as this rescue has been, people online have also found a way to sympathize (同情) with the cat while showing respect for Cakas. "Uh...not for nothing but I would also not leave this guys side," said Twitter user Paula Matiz. Another person admitted, "I don't know who is cuter...the man or the kitty." They all agree that Cakas has done something truly wonderful, saving the life of a sweet cat.
So far, no one has come forward to claim Enkaz, but the firefighter is keeping him safe, in the meantime, providing food and shelter. "I see sadness in this cat," the firefighter said after rescuing him. "I keep it by my side in case the owner comes, but if the owner doesn't come out, I'm thinking of taking him with me. It will be a memory." Fortunately, Enkaz has found a safe shelter after everything he has been through, so we hope this is the start of a beautiful relationship between the cat and his rescuer.
Music festivals are highly popular events during the summer months, attracting thousands of festival-goers who camp on-site. However, the question arises as to whether the tents left behind can be recycled.
While some festival organizers claim that they recycle the tents, the answer is not so straightforward. Every year, thousands of tents are abandoned (拋弃)at festivals, and it's not just post-festival laziness or poor weather that is to blame. According to a recent survey, many festival-goers leave their tents behind because they believe they will be donated to charities. But unfortunately, this is only wishful thinking.
Matt Wedge, the director of Festival Waste Reclamation & Distribution, says that the number of tents left behind is increasing, estimating that around 20% of the tents at this year's Leeds Festival were abandoned, which amounted to about 7,000 tents. He adds that Reading and Leicester festivals are usually just as bad but twice as big, meaning that 14,000 tents could have been abandoned there.
In terms of addressing this problem, one popular idea is to employ a tent deposit scheme (保证金计划). Under this scheme, festival-goers would pay a deposit to bring their tent to the festival, which would be returned to them if they take their tent home. "A similar thing happens with litter. Some festivals make attendees pay a £10 ‘eco bond', which will be returned to them if they fill up a bag of rubbish and hand it in at the end of the festival," he adds.
The shocking images of abandoned tents are more than just a comment on the environmental impacts of the festival itself. They are in fact a dramatic symbol of our throwaway culture. Just as images of clean fields at Glastonbury represent a refreshing sign of hope for what could be, the ultimate (最后的) message is to make it a habit to take your tent home at least. It's the best thing people can do.
While vertical (垂直的) farming of plants in limited space has been around for some time, new research looking into the "vertical farming of seafood" is being developed by Broderick House.
As part of his PhD project at the University of Cambridge, Broderick is looking at farming bivalves (双壳贝) within city boundaries. "In terms of sustainable (可持续的) food options, and from a food security standpoint, being able to expand bivalve farming from the coast into cities means you have a safe environment to produce a highly nutritious and micronutrient rich source of food," says Broderick.
The biggest challenge, of course, is water consumption. The artificial aquaculture (水产业) environment cannot fully compare to farming in the ocean, but by using advanced flowing aquaculture systems, water use can be reduced, as only 10% of the water in the tank must be changed every day. "If you're comparing it to traditional agricultural livestock — cows, pigs, chickens, which are farmed in fields, it uses much less water, and provides competing levels of protein," Broderick explains.
While sustainability can, upon first look, be accomplished by building facilities to farm bivalves inland, there is also a possibility to repurpose existing buildings which would help to decrease carbon emissions from transportation as well. Broderick points out the biggest carbon footprint in aquaculture is the feed for the livestock, and he is working together with the Algal Innovation Centre at University of Cambridge, to develop more sustainable feed options.
To help translate his research into the business world, Broderick has been supported by the EnterpriseTECH and EnterpriseTECH STAR programmes at the CJBS Entrepreneurship Centre. "CJBS has been a fantastic resource and community. The business ecosystem here has provided important tools in a constructive and informed way to help ensure my PhD research has a positive role in shaping the future of global food security," Broderick says.
What do you do when you receive an invitation to an event that you do not want to attend or that you cannot attend due to your busy schedule? In that case, we simply can't act on everything our heart feels. Here are some right ways to decline (拒绝) an invitation without hurting others' feelings.
Respond in a timely manner.
It's OK to put off responding if you're unsure at first, but give yourself a deadline to figure it out — and stick to it. Always respond to invitations in a timely manner.
It's OK to say you're sorry that you can't make an event, but it's better to redefine it as a positive. Rather than apologizing, say how happy you are that they invited you and that while you can't make it this time, you look forward to getting together with them in the future.
Don't say "maybe".
Procrastinating (拖延) by saying "maybe" usually means it's a no. Saying "maybe" is a way of making yourself feel better, but it leaves the other person hanging, which is unkind.
Don't try to control the other person's feelings.
There's the assumption that we can decline without hurting anyone else's feelings, but we can't ensure the other person's experience. They may feel sad or disappointed when you decline,. but that's OK.
A. Focus on the positive.
B. Be honest but not too honest.
C. Don't leave the host hanging.
D. It's fine to decline via digital means.
E. Most people will understand that life just gets busy.
F. So just go ahead and say no if that's really what you mean.
G. Instead, we should learn how to politely say "no" to an invitation.

Fayuansi, or Fayuan Temple is key Buddhist temple in the south of Beijing. It dates back more than a thousand years. Its (surround) neighborhood is one of the few old hutong communities in the city, has a rich historical and cultural value.
Many celebrities (名人) once lived or participated in events in this area, adding its rich cultural (significant). Chairman Mao Zedong once led an anti-warlord movement here in 1920 when he was young. The famous Indian poet Tagore and his Chinese friend Xu Zhimo (visit) Fayuan Temple together in 1924.
However, the area's out-of-date infrastructure (设施) has (gradual) forced this community to make a change. So a new project aiming (look) for solutions to renovating (修复) the Fayuansi area through sustainable development had been widely expected.
Fortunately, a well-rounded plan for the renovation of the Fayuansi area (make) earlier this year. According to the plan, most of the historic architecture will be preserved, but the work will balance the local residents' need for improved living standards, while attempting to maintain the (origin) architecture.
Maggie had always been keen on singing, but she never believed in herself enough to enter a competition. That all changed when her friend, who had heard her sing and believed she had a talent, advised her to try out for the campus singing competition. Maggie was hesitant at first, but she decided to give it a shot.
The competition was only a few weeks away, and Maggie spent every spare moment practicing. She sang in the shower, in her car, and even in the library when she thought no one was listening. Her roommate, who was also her biggest cheerleader, helped her pick out the perfect outfit for the competition.
As the competition day approached, Maggie's nerves started to get the best of her. She had never performed in front of such a large audience before, and the thought of being judged made her nervous. However, Maggie knew that she had to push herself out of her comfort zone if she wanted to pursue her passion. She reminded herself that she was doing this to prove to herself that she could do it and that she was good enough.
On the day of the competition, Maggie woke up with a sense of determination. She spent the morning rehearsing (排练) and getting into the right mindset. She arrived at the venue (会场) early and was surprised to see so many people had shown up to watch the competition.
As she waited for her turn to perform, Maggie observed the other contestants (参赛选手). She was amazed at the level of talent on display and wondered if she had what it took to win. However, she didn't let her doubts get the better of her. She focused on her own performance and was determined to give it her all.
