Posture Corrector For Men and Women
●Let Our Posture Corrector Be Part of Your Pain-free Life.

An aquarium(水族馆) that has closed because of the COVID-19 outbreak is asking people to make video calls to the aquarium's eels(鳗鱼).
The reason? Aquarium workers fear the sensitive creatures may not remember humans' existence, nor remember that humans do not present a threat. The aquarium has been closed since the start of March. Its sea animals have become used to a largely human free environment during the two-month period of calm. But the aquarium said the situation was having some unexpected effects.
“Creatures in the aquarium don't see humans except keepers and they have started forgetting about humans,” the aquarium said on its Titter this week, “Garden eels in particular disappear into the sand and hide every time the keepers pass by.” That is causing difficulties for keepers trying to check on the health of the animals. So the aquarium decided to offer an invitation to the public. “Could you show your face to our garden eels from your home?” It is describing the new effort as a “face-showing festival”.
Garden eels are very sensitive by nature. But the 300 garden eels that live in a tank at the aquarium had become used to humans. They rarely hid in the sand from visitors. To try to reintroduce the eels to humans, the aquarium is putting five computers in front of their tank. The public can connect through the Face Time app.
Once the video calls start, people are supposed to show their faces, wave their hands and talk to the eels. But considering the quiet nature of the animals, callers are asked not to shout.
The “face-showing festival” is set to take place Sunday through Tuesday, during Golden Week holiday. It has gotten plenty of support. One Twitter user wrote, “Interesting! When you gaze at the garden eels, they gaze at you. I'm happy to take part.”
Bumblebees(大黄蜂) are clever: when pollen(花粉) is short and plants near the nest are not yet flowering, they have learned to force them to bloom. Research published on Thursday in Science shows that the insects puncture the plants' leaves, which causes them to flower about 30 days earlier than they otherwise would. How the technique developed and why the plants react by blooming remain unclear.
Consuelo De Moraes, a chemical ecologist at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, says she and her teammates were observing one kind of bumblebee in an unrelated experiment when they noticed the insects were damaging plant leaves and wondered why. “At first we thought they might be feeding on the plants,” she says. And because previous research had shown stress could cause plants to flower, they also wondered whether the bees might be creating blooms on purpose.
To find out, the team placed bumblebees together with tomato plants in cages. The bees soon cut several holes in the leaves of each plant. As a test, the researchers tried to copy the bumblebee damage in additional plants with a knife. Both sets of plants with injured leaves bloomed faster, but the ones punctured by the bees flowered weeks earlier, suggesting that chemicals in the insects' saliva(唾液) may be involved as well.
Next, the researchers moved out of the laboratory to see whether bumblebees would continue to damage nonflowering plants near their nest even if blooming plants were available farther away. They did so. The findings suggest the bees' behavior is an adaptation that improves food-hunting efficiency(效率).
In the future, scientists could test how the behavior may have developed and how widespread it is among other wild bumblebees, as well as what is happening in plants after a bee bite. Understanding those questions could help us better face the climate change.
When it comes to dog training, I've come to understand that some things can be taught quickly, while others take a while. Do you know how I learned that lesson? From a French teacher I had in college.
It was beginner's French, and from day one she had a “no English” class rule. I was confused by 99% of what she said, but I decided to give it a shot. I was excited as we began learning numbers and the alphabet, something I could easily follow, but when it came to putting together phrases, I was lost.
My teacher came up to me and said “quel est votre passe-temps favori?” which sounded like complete nonsense to me. I knew she was asking me a question, but I couldn't figure out what it was. So I said “Sorry, I don't understand.” Well, that broke the “no English” rule, so I just froze because I had no idea as to how to apologize in French.
So what did she do? She kept getting closer to me, repeating 'quel est votre passe-temps favori? ' over and over, each time a bit louder, as if I had a hearing problem, rather than a complete shortage of comprehension.
I think about that class often. I really did feel hopeless, and the laughter from everyone else in class didn't help. It's not that she was a bad teacher. It's just that she had very little patience for students like me who didn't catch on immediately.
Well, it taught me to be more patient with Laika when learning new things. And since I don't want her to be like the embarrassed kid in class, I don't speak loudly at her or repeat myself when she doesn't “get it.” I go back and figure out how I can help her understand and put meaning to my requests.
While being absent from normal life for many days, you may find perhaps some of your clothes are overgrown with mushrooms (seriously)! . But at some universities in China, the scene is the total opposite.
Photos showing quilts (被子) aired have become a hit on social media. .They are being dried on balconies (阳台), playgrounds and any available open areas at the universities ahead of the resumption (恢复) of school.
The quilts were brought by students from home and had almost gone moldy (发霉) but thanks to dorm-keepers they have gone through a process of sun sterilization (杀菌).
To prevent the quits from being misplaced, the dorm-keepers attached a note to each quilt with the dormitory area, bedroom number, and bed number on it. .
“ .Then, they will be collected to put away after getting fluffy. When it becomes cloudy or it's likely to rain, we'll collect all of them in time, about which the students don't have to worry.” a keeper named Yan Fengjuan said.
The idea occurred to the dorm-keepers when the rooms started to smell during the routine check. .
A. The dorm-keepers collected so many moldy quilts.
B. Their acts of kindness soon received wide praise.
C. Without regular wear, the clothing can grow mold.
D. There is no single quilt that is nowhere to be seen.
E. In this way, it would not cause trouble to the students.
F. The colorful quilts neatly cover the dormitory building.
G. When the sun is good, the quilts will be aired for 3 hours.
Nobis is proud, because his father is a great gentleman. Yesterday he 1 with Betti ,the son of a charcoal(木炭) man. He didn't know what retort(反驳) to make 2 he was in the wrong. He said to Betti, “Your father is a poor 3 !”
Betti said nothing but 4 welled in his eyes. When he returned home, he repeated the words to his father.

As the cob(雄天鹅) flew towards Billings city, all sorts of troublesome thoughts filled in his head. He had never gone looking for a trumpet(小号) before. He had no money. He feared he might arrive after the shops had closed. He realized that in the whole continent he was undoubtedly the only cob on his way to a city to get a trumpet.
“This is a great adventure,” he said to himself. “Yet it is a noble searching. I will do anything to help my son Louis, even if I run into real trouble.”
Towards the end of the afternoon, the cob finally saw the churches, factories, shops and homes of Billings city. He circled, looking for a music store. Suddenly he found one. It had a very big, wide window, solid结实的) glass. The cob flew lower for a better look. A guitar, a piano, violins and then he saw what he wanted—a trumpet hanging by a shelf.
“Now it's my time to act!” he said to himself. “Now it's my moment for risking everything on one brave move, however shocking it may be to my emotions, however offensive(冒犯的) it may be to the laws that govern the lives of men. Here I go! May good luck go with me!”
