"The needs of friendship."

查克．麥卡錫的散步服務以每小時30美元的價格，提供新鮮空氣、運動與同伴情誼—不過在樹旁撒尿可絕對不行。這位洛杉磯企業家作為該市第一個遛人公司的創辦人，是與人類配合工作，而非動物，並捍衛健康與社會包容。「我考慮成為一名遛狗師。但我未曾在這座城市養過狗。」麥卡錫說。「我也看到許多私人教練的廣告。因此我對女友說『或許我就成為遛人師』。」麥卡錫在說笑，但當他越加思考，就越了解有對他能提供的那種同伴之誼的需求。「遛人師」2年前以1人運作方式開始營運。但需求之高，致使麥卡錫現在值勤表上有35名陪走者，人們可在網站上選擇路線與步行夥伴。不是因為人們的朋友變少，專家說，而是「零工經濟」已產生一個自由工作者世代，相關工作沒有傳統上聯繫工作者的例行公事或社會連結。

Chuck McCarthy’s walking service provides fresh air, exercise and companionship for $30 an hour － but peeing on trees is an absolute no-no. The Los Angeles-based entrepreneur works with humans, not animals, and is striking a blow for health and social inclusion as the founder of the city’s first people-walking business. "I was thinking about becoming a dog walker. But I’ve never had a dog in the city," McCarthy said. "I was also seeing a lot of personal trainer ads. And so I said to my girlfriend, ’Maybe I’ll just become a people walker.’" McCarthy was joking but the more he thought about it, the more he realized there was a need for the kind of comradeship he could provide. The People Walker started as a one-man operation two years ago. But demand was so high that McCarthy now has a roster of 35 walkers, and a website where people can choose routes and walking partners. It’s not that people have fewer friends, say experts, but rather that the "gig economy" has produced a generation of freelancers with none of the routines or social bonds that traditionally connected workers.

Chuck. McCarthy's walking service offers fresh air, exercise and companionship for $30 an hour – but peeing at the side of the tree is definitely not enough. The Los Angeles entrepreneur, who was the founder of the city's first deaf company, worked with humans instead of animals and defended health and social inclusion. "I considered becoming a dog trainer. But I haven't raised a dog in this city yet," McCarthy said. "I also saw advertisements for many personal trainers. So I said to my girlfriend, "Perhaps I became a deaf teacher." McCarthy was joking, but as he thought more, the more he knew about the kind of companion he could provide. The needs of friendship. The "deaf teacher" started operations with a one-person operation two years ago. However, the demand is high, resulting in McCarthy now has 35 patrons on the watch. People can choose routes and walking partners on the website. Not because people's friends have become smaller, experts say, but the "jobless economy" has produced a generation of free workers, and related work does not have the routine or social connections traditionally linked to workers.

法國總統艾曼紐．馬克宏上週前往華盛頓進行國是訪問期間，藉由和唐納．川普總統在白宮土地上種下一棵樹，慶祝美國與法國間的特殊關係。這棵橡樹苗現在不見了——至少是暫時的。白宮攝影師們注意到，這棵樹在種下後幾天消失了。謎團隨之而起。其實，來自法國貝洛森林——第一次世界大戰一場戰役美國將近兩千士兵葬身之處——的這棵樹，被種下不久後就被挖起來。根據美國與法國官員說法，它被隔離檢疫。問題出在：樹上的寄生蟲可能擴及白宮地產上的其他樹木。馬克宏辦公室一名官員說：「事實上，能夠在總統訪問當天種那棵樹，是川普給法國的特殊禮遇。」（路透）

Mystery ensued. In fact, the tree, from Belleau Wood in France where almost 2,000 American soldiers died in a World War One battle, had been dug up not long after it was planted. It was put in quarantine, according to U.S. and French officials.

French President Emmanuel. Mark Macro went to Washington last week to conduct a state visit with Donner. President Trump planted a tree on the White House land to celebrate the special relationship between the United States and France. The oak seedling is now missing - at least for the time being. White House photographers noticed that the tree disappeared a few days after it was planted. The mystery goes up. In fact, the tree from France's Belo Forest - a battle in the First World War that killed nearly 2,000 soldiers in the United States - was dug shortly after being planted. According to US and French officials, it was quarantined. The problem lies in the fact that parasites in trees may spread to other trees on the White House estate. An official in Mark Hong’s office said: “Actually, the kind of tree that can be planted on the day of the president’s visit is a special courtesy to Trump by Trump.” (Reuters)

The tune will be raised as the car's tires pass over the markings, which are usually placed alongside the main road to warn them that they are deviating from the road. If you pass the mark at the correct speed – 60 km/h – this road will sing the provincial song of the Farsland region with different languages and cultures in the north of the Netherlands. However, the volume was loud and the voices spread four times. Locals said that this wonderful road sounded endless noise that caused them to wake up at night.

In turn, Boyd changed a life when he offered the pastor, who needed an organ transplant, one of his kidneys.Boyd said living on the streets was difficult and that he could not trust anyone. After meeting the pastor’s son, who brought him to the family home, the Greenaway family helped Boyd to beat his alcohol addiction and start over.Pastor Greenaway said： "I believed Melvin needed a new start in life, we wanted to help him" Since then, Boyd has stayed at the family home every day and night, and has become another son to the pastor, and his wife, who already have four children.Last March, he repaid the pastor for his generosity by donating one of his kidneys to him.

JPSS-1正式以NOAA-20的身分與大家見面。不過，以JPSS-1為首的一系列衛星仍然稱為JPSS系列。依循往例，美國國家海洋暨大氣總署（NOAA）在策劃、設計與建造繞極衛星時，會分派字母（A、B、C…）區別每顆衛星。而當衛星發射升空抵達運行軌道時，會再分派數字編號。「聯合極軌衛星系統」的繞極衛星（JPSS-1、JPSS-2、JPSS-3、JPSS-4）有些許不同。它們在建造、測試與發射階段就被分派數字，而未使用字母。儘管如此，它們抵達運行軌道時，還是會成為NOAA-20、NOAA-21、NOAA-22、NOAA-23。為什麼要從「JPSS」改名為「NOAA」？根據NOAA文獻，改名可延續命名規則的一致性；除NOAA與美國國家航太總署（NASA）的「索米國家極軌夥伴關係」（Suomi NPP）衛星外，該機構自1978年以來，便遵循這項繞極衛星的命名規則。

JPSS-1 officially became known as NOAA-20. However, the entire series of satellites, of which JPSS-1 is the first, is still referred to as the JPSS series.Traditionally, when NOAA’s polar-orbiting satellites were planned, designed and built, NOAA assigned each one with a letter (-A, -B, -C …). Then, when the satellite reached orbit after launch, it was given a number. The polar-orbiting satellites of the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS-1, -2, -3, and -4) are a bit different. Instead of letters, they are designated by numbers during their construction, testing, and launch phases. However, they still become NOAA-20, -21, -22, and -23 when they attain orbit. Why will their names change from "JPSS" to "NOAA"? According to NOAA documentation, the change is to maintain consistency in naming conventions that NOAA has followed since 1978 for polar-orbiting satellites, except for the NOAA-NASA Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership satellite (Suomi NPP).

JPSS-1 officially met with everyone as NOAA-20. However, a series of satellites headed by JPSS-1 are still called the JPSS series. Following the example, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of the United States will assign letters (A, B, C...) to distinguish each satellite when planning, designing, and constructing the orbiting satellite. When the satellite launches into orbit and arrives at the orbit, it will be assigned a numerical number. The circumpolar satellites (JPSS-1, JPSS-2, JPSS-3, and JPSS-4) of the "Unipolar Orbital Satellite System" are slightly different. They are assigned numbers during the construction, testing, and launch phases without the use of letters. However, when they reach the orbit, they will still become NOAA-20, NOAA-21, NOAA-22, NOAA-23. Why did you change from "JPSS" to "NOAA"?

For the first time, strange alien ice has been seen forming on Earth by US researchers. This revelation was made by the researchers at Stanford University on July 8, 2017. The researchers dubbed the alien ice as ice seven, which forms naturally in the environment when planetary ice bodies collide."These experiments with water are the first of their kind, allowing us to witness a fundamental disorder-to-order transition in one of the most abundant molecules in the universe," said study lead author Arianna Gleason, a visiting scientist in the Extreme Environments Laboratory of Stanford’s School of Earth, Energy & Environmental Sciences.Most powerful X-ray lasers were used by the researchers to create ice VII with the help of Linac Coherent Light Source. Another instrument called X-ray Free Electron Laser is used to beam the compressed water. This transformation took place in just six billionths of a second, or nanoseconds during the procedure.

When the frozen planets collided, the ice VII, which the researchers nicknamed "exoplanet ice," would naturally occur in the space environment. "This type of water experiment is the first in history to allow us to witness one of the most abundant molecules in the universe, an important shift from chaos to order," said the study's lead author, Stanford University’s Academy of Earth and Energy and Environment, and extreme environments.

Another instrument called "X-ray free electron laser" is used to send compressed water molecules. The process of turning water molecules into ice only takes about one-sixth of a six-millionth of a second, which is equivalent to 6 nanoseconds.

天主教教宗方濟各要求改變主禱文中一句有關試探的譯文。既有的措辭「不要領我們進入試探」不是好譯文，因為上帝不會領人犯罪，他說。他的建議是改用「不要讓我們陷入試探」，他告訴義大利電視台。主禱文是基督教最知名的祈禱文。教宗說，法國的羅馬天主教會現在使用新語詞「不要讓我們陷入試探」作為替代，類似用語應該通行全球。「不要讓我陷入試探因為是我落入，而不是上帝將我丟入試探，然後看著我如何墮落，」他說。「做父親的不會這樣，他會立刻幫助你站起來。」該譯文出自第四世紀聖經拉丁譯本「拉丁通行本」，該譯本則是翻譯自古希臘語、希伯來語以及亞蘭語。自開始擔任教宗以來，方濟各不迴避爭議，並且正面處理一些議題。他之前表示，羅馬天主教會應該對其對待同性戀者的方式向他們致歉。

Pope Francis has called for a translation of a phrase about temptation in the Lord’s Prayer to be changed. The current wording that says "lead us not into temptation" is not a good translation because God does not lead humans to sin, he said. His suggestion is to use "do not let us fall into temptation" instead, he told Italian TV.The Lord’s Prayer is the best-known prayer in Christianity. The pontiff said France’s Roman Catholic Church was now using the new wording "do not let us fall into temptation" as an alternative, and something similar should be used worldwide."Do not let me fall into temptation because it is I who fall, it is not God who throws me into temptation and then sees how I fell," he said. "A father does not do that, a father helps you to get up immediately."It is a translation from the Latin Vulgate, a 4th-Century Latin translation of the Bible, which itself was translated from ancient Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic.Since the beginning of his papacy, Pope Francis has not shied away from controversy and has tackled some issues head-on. He has previously said the Roman Catholic Church should apologise to gay people for the way it has treated them.

His suggestion is to switch to "Do not let us fall into temptation," he told Italian television. The Lord's Prayer is the most famous prayer in Christianity. The Pope said that the French Roman Catholic Church now uses the new phrase “Don't let us fall into temptation” as an alternative, and similar phrases should be used globally. "Don't let me fall into temptation because I fell in, not God throwing me into temptation, and then watching how I fall," he said. "This is not true for fathers. He will immediately help you to stand up." This translation comes from the Latin translation of the fourth century Bible, the "Latin Passage," which was translated from Ancient Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic. Since his inception as a pope, Francis has not evaded disputes and has dealt with issues on the front. He said earlier that the Roman Catholic Church should apologize to them for the way they treat homosexuals.

Astronomers have identified the smallest star ever discovered in the Universe and said that it could help in the search for Earth-like planets that may have the potential for life.The star is located 600 light years away and is just larger than Saturn. The radius of Saturn is around 9.5 times that of Earth, but stars are generally much larger than planets.Named EBLM J0555-57Ab, the newly-identified star has a gravitational pull around 300 times stronger than that on Earth. Its radius is 8.4 percent and mass 8.1 percent the size of that of the Sun.It is likely that the newly-identified star is as small as a star can possibly become. Stars require a certain level of mass to enable hydrogen fusion to take place at their cores. Were the star in question to be any smaller, it would not likely have the requisite mass to sustain the nuclear fusion. It would have instead become a brown dwarf, celestial objects that are bigger than giant planets but smaller than the smallest stars and emit infrared radiation, said Alexander Boetticher of the University of Cambridge, the lead author of the study.

"It’s the size of a small house and is a vibrant pink colour," said Johnson. When it is not in bloom, he says it is "just a nice, big, green shrub". He said he realised "we should capitalise on this" when he saw the rhododendron attracting comment online.Local residents in the town of 8,100 have grown accustomed to the huge shrub, which has been in Ladysmith since around 1904. The first owners of the property are said to have brought Lady Cynthia to the forestry community on a sailing ship from Scotland. Ladysmith’s rhododendron is so named because it is a Cynthia hybrid of the plant.

在可追溯至聖經時代的傳統，「非洲之角」索馬利蘭崎嶇的馬多山脈間，男人黎明起身，攀爬岩塊，尋找野生乳香樹的珍貴露頭。經乾燥並點燃，乳香樹汁液產生的芬芳香氣，全世界教堂、清真寺都因此薰香。乳香，與黃金、沒藥，是三位王者給耶穌誕生之福音所帶來的禮物。然而，現在地球最後一片完整野生乳香樹林，正因近年全球追求精油導致的價格飆升而瀕危。過度採收讓乳香樹的死亡速度更甚於再生，古老的樹脂貿易因此陷入危境。採集乳香極具風險。乳香樹能在懸崖邊緣長到很高，淺淺的根部緊抓著有毒蛇蜿蜒爬行在上的裸岩。採集者經常失足，沿峽谷山壁滾跌下去。收集到樹脂後，婦女依樹脂塊的顏色、尺寸排序。各類樹脂運至葉門、沙烏地阿拉伯，最終到歐洲與美洲。在製香之外，乳香膠可提煉製作香水的用油、護膚乳液、藥品及口香糖。

In a tradition dating to Biblical times, men rise at dawn in the rugged Cal Madow mountains of Somaliland in the Horn of Africa to scale rocky outcrops in search of the prized sap of wild frankincense trees.When dried and burned, the sap produces a fragrant smoke which perfumes churches and mosques around the world. Frankincense, along with gold and myrrh, was brought by the Three Kings as gifts in the Gospel account of the birth of Jesus.But now these last intact wild frankincense forests on Earth are under threat as prices have shot up in recent years with the global appetite for essential oils. Overharvesting has led to the trees dying off faster than they can replenish, putting the ancient resin trade at risk.Harvesting frankincense is risky. The trees can grow high on cliff edges, shallow roots gripping bare rock slithering with venomous snakes. Harvesters often slip and tumble down canyon walls.Once the resin is collected, women sort the chunks by color and size. The various classes of resin are shipped to Yemen, Saudi Arabia and eventually Europe and America. Besides its use as incense, frankincense gum is distilled into oil for use in perfumes, skin lotions, medicine and chewing gum.

In the tradition dating back to the biblical age, the “horn of Africa” in the rugged Madonna mountains of Somalialand, the men got up at dawn and climbed the rock to find the precious outcrop of the wild mastic trees. After drying and igniting, the fragrant odor produced by the frankincense tree sap, the churches and mosques all over the world are scented. The frankincense, with gold and myrrh, is the gift of the three kings to the gospel of the birth of Jesus. However, the last complete wild frankincense grove in the earth is currently endangered by the soaring price of global essential oils in recent years. Over-harvesting causes the death rate of Frankincense trees to grow even faster than regeneration, and the ancient resin trade is in danger. Collecting frankincense is extremely risky. The frankincense tree grows very high on the edge of the cliff, and the shallow roots cling to the bare rock that the viper snake crawls on. Collectors often slipped and fell down the canyon wall. After the resin was collected, the women were sorted by the color and size of the resin block. All types of resins were shipped to Yemen, Saudi Arabia and eventually to Europe and the Americas. In addition to making incense, mastic gum can be used to make oils, skin care lotions, medicines and chewing gums for perfumes.

據一項報告，每3人中有1人沉迷於手機，夜晚總會不斷查看。如果你是18至24歲的族群，比例更上升為2人中就有1人。此舉看似無害，實則非常有殺傷力。睡眠專家已再三警告，晚上盯著手機會傷及健康。這和手機螢幕放射的藍光有莫大關係。藍光會讓我們的身體誤以為現在是白天；換句話說，即便我們再度入睡，睡眠品質也會大幅降低。這項研究指出，「智慧型手機讓人們可以追蹤現在發生什麼事、人們說了什麼話，以及大家上傳什麼東西。這些事你可以在白天進行，但智慧型手機促使人們在夜晚也這麼做。」因此，除非攸關生死、茲事體大，否則還是把眼睛好好閉上。「臉書」不值得你一直瀏覽。

According to a report, one in three is so addicted to their phones that they check them constantly during the night. And if you’re in the 18-24 categories, this number goes up to one in two.It may seem harmless - but it’s incredibly damaging. Sleep experts have warned us over and over how looking at our phones at night can compromise our health. It’s all to do with the blue light our phone’s screen gives off.This light tells our body it’s daytime, which means when we do eventually fall back to sleep, that quality of sleep is not as good as it should be. The research said："What smartphones enable people to do is to keep tags of what’s happening, what people are saying, what people are posting. You can do that throughout the day and what smartphones are encouraging people to do is to do that at night."So unless it’s a matter of life or death, make sure you get some good shut eye. Facebook’s not worth so much of your attention.

According to one report, one in three people is obsessed with mobile phones, and the night is always on the lookout. If you are a group of 18 to 24 years old, the proportion has even risen to 1 in 2 people. This may seem harmless, but in fact it is very lethal. Sleep experts have repeatedly warned that staring at the phone at night would hurt health. This has a lot to do with the blue light emitted by mobile phone screens. Blu-ray will make our body mistakenly believe that it is daytime; in other words, even if we fall asleep again, the quality of sleep will be greatly reduced. The study pointed out that "Smart phones allow people to track what is happening now, what people say, and what they upload. These things can happen during the day, but smart phones motivate people to do so at night. Therefore, unless you are dead or alive, you must keep your eyes closed. "Face Book" is not worth your while.
