Mark Bertram, 46, lost the tips of two fingers at work in 2018 when his hand became trapped in a fan belt." It's life-changing but it's not life-ending," he says." Doing work is harder now. Everything is just a little different.
After two surgeries and occupational therapy, Bertram decided to make light of his condition by asking Eric Catalano, a tattoo (纹身) artist, to create fingernail tattoos. The idea made everyone in the studio laugh- until they saw the final result. "The mood changed," Catalano recalls from his Eternal Ink Tattoo Studio." Everything turned from funny to wow."
When Catalano posted a photo of the tattoos, a pair of fingernails that looked so real that no one could believe their eyes, he had no idea the image would eventually be viewed by millions of people around the world.
The viral photo pushed Catalano, 40，further into the world of paramedical ( 辅助医疗的) tattooing. Now people with life-altering scars come from as far away as Ireland to visit his shop. They enter Eternal Ink looking for the artistic healing they saw online. Using flesh-toned (肉色的) inks and a needle, Catalano transforms his clients' view of themselves.
Leslie Pollan, 32, a dog breeder in Oxford, was bitten on the face by a puppy in 2014. She underwent countless surgeries to correct a scar on her lip.
"Plastic surgery gave me no hope, "she says. "So I looked for other options."" She ultimately traveled six hours to meet with Catalano. He hid Pollan's lip scar, giving her back a piece of her confidence." You don't understand until you've been through it," Pollan says." It made me have a different look on life."
Catalano performs up to eight reconstructive tattoos. While he charges $100 per regular tattoo, he doesn't charge for paramedical tattoos." Financially，it doesn't make sense," Catalano says. " But every time I see that emotion from my customers, I'm 100 percent sure this is something that I can't stop doing."
When we think of a generation gap we usually think of conflicting tastes in music, or pastimes. But now the generation gap is handwriting. After one teacher in Tennessee discovered that she had students who couldn't read the assignments she was writing on the board, she posted it on the Internet saying handwriting should be taught in schools.
Opponents claim that handwriting has become out of time in our modern world. Typed words have become a primary form of communication. Once a practical skill， handwriting is no longer used by the vast majority of Americans. It is no longer taught in schools, and some claim that the time that it would take to teach it could be put to better use, for instance, by teaching the technical skills.
But even in today's world there are still plenty of reasons to pick up a pen and apply it to paper. Many American institutions still require original signatures, for instance, signing for a registered letter and buying a house. And original signatures are much more difficult to forge(伪造) than their digital counterparts. There is also strong evidence that writing by hand is good for the mind. It activates a different part of the brain, and improves fine moving skills in young children. People also tend to remember what they write by hand more than what they type, and the process of writing by hand has been shown to stimulate ideas. Besides, studies have shown that kids who write by hand learn to read and spell earlier than those who don't. Not to mention, handwriting is pleasing, as is evidenced by the fact that no one has ever typed a love letter. And handwriting remains popular as an art form.
Yes, we live in a modern world, but we live in a modern world that is based on fundamental values.
At the age of 50, Nina Schoen expects to have a long life ahead of her, but has thought a lot about death- and why people are so reluctant to talk about it: "It's going to happen to all of us," she says, "but it should be a more positive experience than the fear we put into it.'
When she first heard about a new end-of-life process that turns the body into compost (堆肥)," I was really moved by the idea," says Schoen, who became one of the first to reserve a spot with a Seattle-based company called Recompose, the country's first funeral home to offer human composting.
Last year Recompose began transforming bodies to soil, more formally known as natural organic reduction. Before that, end-of-life options in the U. S. were limited to burial or cremation (火化), both of which come with environmental costs- U. S. cremations alone dump 1. 7 billion pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year.
Katrina Spade pioneering the composting movement has spent a decade developing the process in hopes of offering people a greener option for death care." I wondered,' What if we had a choice that helps the planet rather than harms it?'" Spade tells PEOPLE." To know that the last gesture you'll make will be gentle and beneficial and it just feels like the right thing to do."
After she had her own two sons, she began to wonder what she might do with her body after death. A friend who knew her interest in the topic reminded her that farmers sometimes compost the body of cows, and that sparked an idea for her theory: "If you can compost a cow, you can probably compost a human," she thought, and she set about designing a facility to do just that.
"This is about giving people another choice," Spade says." At first, people react with shock一'You really can do that?' But so many people today are looking at their impact on the Earth. This is a popular thing because when you die, you can give back to the planet."
As a teen, have you ever been called childish or "immature" by adults or older peers in your life? . If you want your behavior to reflect maturity, start off with:
If you want to act in a mature fashion, you need to respect authority. No matter where you go -home, school, or work—you will have to obey rules set by authority figures.，so comply with them. It's normal for teens to want to push back against authority sometimes. If you want to discuss rules with authority figures，argue your case in a respectful manner. That way, the adult is more likely to listen.
. Follow through with commitments and take care of yourself and your responsibilities on your own as much as you can. If you do get in trouble for some reason, be honest and accept whatever consequences might follow. By holding yourself responsible for your own actions, you can show your maturity to your parents and others.
Improve your manners. Having good manners shows respect. . Good manners cover a wide range of behaviors: saying "yes, sir/ ma'am", answering the phone with" hello", not interrupting others' conversations, chewing with your mouth closed, and holding the door for the person walking behind you.
Develop smart and healthy habits. A mature teen knows to say "no" to delinquent behaviors.
Using alcohol and drugs, lying, stealing, fighting, acting recklessly, or destroying others' property will only get you into trouble or hurt.And stay away from negative influences.
A. Be responsible
B. Manage your time wisely
C. In most cases, these rules are set to keep you and others safe

E. Instead, be drug-free，and wear your seat belt when driving a car

It seems that the great desire among the young is to be popular. And once they achieve1, they want to keep it and 2 it. But the desire to be popular can3you into looking and acting like everyone else. You can lose yourself in a sea of 4 hairstyles and thinking styles.
I was forced to 5 popularity long before in a talk I had with my daughter. Margy had to 6 schools when my busy work schedule made it 7 for me to move houses. I suppose that, for a girl in her teens, 8 a new school is as easy as spending a season alone in the tropical jungles. However, as the school year 9 to an end, one student after another came to her. They said they would have liked to be friends sooner.
I told Margy that I would have been more concerned if she had been a(n) 10 social success in her new school. That, to me, would have been the 11 that she had betrayed her 12 self in order to become popular. Sometimes young people try to force friendships into blossom by opening 13 their innermost thoughts to people they have just met. Such friendships are the least likely to 14.
I know that it has become harder and harder for a young person to stand up against the popularity wave and to 15 his or her own way. This leads to a great 16 for the young person who wants to find his or her own 17. But the barrier is worth climbing over. The road is worth 18. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. Well, come on! Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come with the people who 19 you for who you are. That's the only kind of popularity that really 20.
The act of reading is great, of course. Butway you're reading also has an influenceyour physical and mental health. In our technology-driven world, the paper book has been replaced by electronic(device) - Kindles and Nooks, and even your laptops or smart phones. Paper books(consider) as inconvenient by some people.
However, there's something simple and special about reading a classic paper book that e-books seem to lack. Recently, I was reading before bedtime, and I found that it not only relaxed me, but made me fall asleep almost(immediate). I slept soundly through the entire night, and I(wake) up feeling(refresh). I found myself(think) about events and scenes in the book. I believe it wasn't a coincidence: Putting aside my phone, and focusing on a taletook me outside of myself, somehow, helped me feel better than before.
Keep readingit can help you improve yourself on many levels.

Disappointed at the result of the examination, I sat in the sofa in silent after school. My father found I was so unhappy but came to ask me why. After learning the reason, my father give me a smile. He said, "Don't allow the terribly things in your life to discount the positive one. Don't let a bad day or month or year to make you feel like you have a bad life. Instead focusing on everything that's going wrong, start holding onto all of the things that is going right. You'll feel better soon." Hear what my father said, I felt it the shame to act like that and decided to cheer myself up.
