I like Filmzie because it's built for independent filmmakers and small studios. It's also my go-to for something totally unique. I love the unique waysFilmzie organizes its films. Some examples includeTop Rated on IMDb, Cuddle-Up Comedies, Directed by Women, Independent Cinema, and UndiscoveredGems. The app has a really smooth interface, and you don't even need to make a user account to start streaming.
Chika's father is alive. We were always told he was dead. Now differently!
We drove to where Chika was born. Stepping out in front of me was her father. I asked aboutChika's infancy. He answered every inquiry with very few words. I didn't ask why he didn't want Chika back. I reminded myself he had lost his partner in that earthquake, the mother of his children.
I explained the reason why I came—Chika's medical condition—the brain tumor(肿瘤). Iexplained that her life could be in the balance. I said I had a hard question. If Chika should not survive,is it important to him that she be buried here in Haiti?
"It doesn't matter,"he said."Whatever you think."
I eventually came to my utmost mission. I wanted him to see his daughter—and her to see him—perhaps because, deep down, I doubted about another chance. Yet as we drove back together, there was part of me feeling as if I had been nudged(轻推) to the side of the picture. Although Janine and I have done with Chika, this man has a certain claim that we never will.
Yours, not yours! The paperwork at the orphanage(孤儿院) was signed by me. It obligates us to nurture, feed, educate, and protect you. But in the end, it is a document, not parenthood. Yours, not yours!We wrestled with this question many times, Chika. Remember what you once asked? How did you find me?I promised myself you would never feel lost again.
After two hours, the father walked over, shook my hand, and left. That night, Chika rested her head upon my shoulder and after a few seconds mumbled,"Mister Mitch? What will you do while I sleep?"
"I'll read,"I said."And think about how much I love you."
She nodded, her eyes glowed."That's what I'll do too."
At that moment,I didn't care who belonged to whom. I was hers, even if she were not mine.
It comes in waves. These are not calming waves, with their consisten t slapping of the shore, and seafoam coasting over the rocks and sand. These are whipping waves, ones that crush sandcastles and soak the beach in its toxic waters.
It's that feeling of embarrassment, sitting in class and tunneling down through everything you've ever done wrong before—on your anxious bench—wondering when someone will make a time machine. Maybe those thoughts consist of something embarrassing you said as a kid. Or that one time someone caught you dancing in a public bathroom. But what about the other way around? Do you look back and laugh at them and their actions? Do you even remember that or is it just a side detail in your mind?
All of these things re late to"respectable manners", disciplining your actions, and dulling happiness.It doesn't focus or highlight growth. Instead, it tears down joy allowing for self-ridicule. If you allow growth and happiness for those other people, why don't you deserve it for yourself?
Embarrassment is a lighter shade of shame—a shame formed from the perception of others and what opinions they might have. It all comes down to society:the boiling po t of expectations placed upon us. The perfection—an expectation that seems to grow with each year that passes—riddles its waters. But does it matter that much? Should we dull happiness when it's a mo ment of minor importance? Then we're left to question what we should be embarrassed about, what embarrassment is, and why it happens.
Embarrassment and happiness don't work together;they are the opposites of each other. Unfortunately,we can't choose our emotions, but we can choose how we live and how we think of others. Thinking back on embarrassing memories, how many of them are of other people? Probably few to none. It's the same way for everyone else. We are all living our own little lives. No one else can remember that embarrassing moment you dwell on every night, so why should you?
When caught in the rain, we have all run for cover—often to a nearby tree. On the way, we step over short-lived puddles and hastily formed streams, marveling at how quickly the soil changes from supportive and predictable to untrustworthy:slippery, soft, and spongy. At first chance we tend to flee,skipping further observation.
Given that direct observations are often impracticable, remote observation systems are crucial for capturing phenomena that are frequent and unpredictable. However, the Bimbache community of ElHierro observed water running down tree bar k during fog events and captured it for life and agriculture in 1764. If more contemporary hydrologists(水文学家) had watched fog by trees, forest managers may not have logged the Bull Run Watershed, which reduced local rainfall by 30% in 1982.
Water science faces criticism because of a"techno optimism that tries to solve all problems". In fact, this issue extends beyond water science. An interdisciplinary research team led by John T. VanStan from Cleveland State University argues that scientists should go beyond the laboratory to directly observe weather phenomena. The researchers insist that hands-on observation of storm events is crucial for comprehending the complexities of wet weather.
"Natural scientists seem increasingly content to stay dry and rely on remote sensors and samplers,models, and virtual experiments to understand natural systems. Consequently, we can miss important stormy phenomena, imaginative inspirations, and opportunities to build intuition—all of which are critical to scientific progress,"said Van Stan's team.
This type of"umbrella science", they warn, can miss important localized events. For instance, in describin g rainwater's flow from the forest treetops to the soils, the authors note that"if several branches efficiently capture and carry stormwaters to the stem, rainwater inputs to near-stem soils can be more than100 times greater."Likewise, water vapor(水蒸气) clouds trapped beneath forest treetop covers may escape remote detection, yet be sensitive to scientists on the ground. At the broader scale, these oversights can affect Ground Earth systems models, which often underestimate forest treetop water storage.
Direct observation, however, has gone beyond making up for the shortcomings of"umbrella science."Van Stan and colleagues see core value in firsthand storm experiences—not only for natural scientists, but also students studying climate change impacts on ecosystems.
Wisdom is a remarkable accumulation of experience, knowledge, and sound judgement. It is not merely a desirable quality but an absolute necessity in a world filled with challenges, controversy, and polarization. It shines our way ahead towards the best decisions.
Growing up with fairy tales and fantasy movies, I always associated wisdom with Gandalf, Yoda,and Albus Dumbledore. The truth is that there is more to wisdom than this, although these characters have given every one of us many important lessons. And how?
Variety is more than the spice of life. Embarking on new experiences is also an avenue for acquiring wisdom. You will never grow from being in your comfort zone which is why you need to get out of it. Do change your routine and experience as much as what life takes you to! In fact, there're always several sides to a life story. To identify the truth, you need to be receptive to different views.Never base your perspective on the most popular opinions. Instead, train your mind to be a judgment-free space for ideas. Open-mindedness opens new pathways to profound insights.
What if you are desperate for personal growth and improvement? A shortcut to do that is to have wise people as your tutors, with whom the more time you spend, the more transfer of knowledge there will be. Your tutors can be whoever is wiser than you.
Remember developing wisdom is beyond a destination. It is important to acknowledge that it takes a span of your life and continuous effort to mature in wisdom as you navigate life's challenges.
A. Nor is it emotion-based.
B. Rome wasn't built in a day.
C. It isn't something you are born with.
D. Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens.
E. Indeed, individuals need to possess bits of wisdom itself.
F. In order to navigate in it, wisdom becomes our guiding light.
G. Yet prior to that, engage in dialogue with them to find out why.
Cristina has been diving with sharks for the last twenty-five years. She ducks below the surface of the water where she's truly at peace despite being 1 by dozens of sharks.
As a diving professional in the Bahamas, she uses a variety of 2 in her daily dives. But the one that leaves people 3 is to remove hooks from sharks' mouths.
Sharks follow fishing boats and often 4 hooks caught in their mouths, which leads to discomfort, difficulty eating and infection. 5 the hooks can be a long and dangerous process.The benefits 6 the risks for her."I'm never scared,"Zenato says."I've built a 7 with them based on repetition and conditioning, and they know that I'm safe."
Hook removal is just one aspect of Zenato's shark conservation efforts. 8 her knowledge—with the public, several Bahamian organizations and others—is an ongoing task. She9 the Bahamas to make their waters a shark shelter and has helps promote shark tourism by training local divers."I hope that by 10 people to come close to sharks with a new understanding of them, they can share their 11 experiences with others,"Zenato says.
Cristina is a(n) 12 conservationist with a passion driven by her love of the sharks. The love leads her to great 13 in what other might consider dangerous marine environments."All species of sharks are part of a complex food chain, each part 14 another,"Zenato says,"we can overcome 15 to better connect to our oceans and our environment and strive to live in a(n)mutual benefit."
As you stroll through the Hangzhou Asian Games Village, one of the first things catches your eyes is the neat street surface, which would swiftly become dry, almost (magic), if a bottle of water were poured on. In reality, phenomenon results from the well thought out urban planning and construction management employed in the"sp onge city"development of the village.
Sponge cities are a concept that aim to make cities more adaptable to environmental changes and better (equip) to handle natural disasters. The city architects (lay) out ecological sponge subunits based on rainwater collection zones for various uses like watering green areas and cleaning surfaces. This created an integrated system for organic rainwater circulation (support) the green Asian Games. Additionally, they combined landscape design with low-impact development techniques to make the sponge city practical and visually (appeal). For instance, the roads may look like rubber tracks, are actually made of special concrete that lets water seep through(渗透), showing how they've made both function and beauty a (combine)."This minimizes harm the natural environment caused by urban development,"explained GengLei, a staff member at the Asian Games Village.
The small wedding celebration was set for the next day. Twenty-one friends and family members were getting together at a beautiful villa in the hills near the charming town of Brighton, just under an hour's drive from the airport.
"I can't wait for the barbecue tonight, never mind the wedding,"said Emma to her husband, John.
The couple arrived at the airport around 6 p. m. After checking out, they rented a car and headed towards the property where Emma's daughter, the bride, was eagerly waiting to share such a magical event with the ones she loved.
As they crossed the hilly landscape, the sun had gone down and rain was falling heavily. But that didn't take away from the beauty of the island. They chatted happily. John, from the driver's seat, kept her amused, completely unaware that the rainfall—more than nine inches would fall that day—had already reached dangerous levels.
As they drove past the town and up the winding road into the hills, the rain intensified, and the sky grew darker. They were approaching a bridge over what was usually a small stream when a lot of dirty and fast-moving water unexpectedly washed over it. In just a few seconds, their little white car slid into the now rapidly flowing river and rolled down the hillside.
The incident unfolded so rapidly that the two inside the car were too stunned to scream. As the car moved through the water, hitting the underside of a couple of bridges, they held on tightly to the seats and doors in shock.
Emma, seated in the back with a large present box for her daughter, noticed water coming into the car. Muddy water was pouring into the car, rising quickly.

Emma realized they had to get out before the water level became too dangerous.

Nearby residents, Mike and his brother David, heard cries.
