2019-06-19 Ningxi pottery passion turns into thriving business If turning a habit into a career is a very fortunate thing, then you can call Tang Tianyuan from Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region a lucky dog, as he succeeded in not only building a business based on a passion but also working side by side with his schoolmates. Tang, born in the 1990s, has been playing with mud since he was a child, and later majored in ceramics and decorative sculpture design at college. While busy shuttling between classes, the student union and the Ningxi pottery factory starting from his first year at college to learn pottery skills, Tang decided to start his own business after finishing his university studies. He set up a workshop to make Ningxi pottery, which originated in the Tang Dynasty (618-907) and is considered one of the top four varieties of pottery in China. Notably, almost all of the 13 team members in Tang's workshop are his younger schoolmates. Initially, the pottery business was hard, as he had to make pottery himself while also taking care of management and sales. But the past

2019-06-18 Ultra-processed food linked to early death Ultra-processed foods - such as chicken nuggets, ice cream and breakfast cereals - have been linked to early death and poor health, scientists say. Researchers in France and Spain say the amount of such food being eaten has soared. What are ultra-processed foods? The term comes from a way of classifying food by how much industrial processing it has been through. The lowest category is "unprocessed or minimally processed foods", which include: fruit, vegetables, milk, meat, legumes, grains such as rice, eggs.

2019-06-13 Entrepreneurs donate more to education sector The education sector is gaining more popularity and capital from Chinese entrepreneurs, especially from tech heavyweights ramping up their donations. The latest Hurun report showed education has become the biggest recipient of donations by Chinese entrepreneurs, accounting for 35 percent of the total. Charles Chen Yidan, co-founder of Tencent Holdings Ltd, is the second-biggest donor in the Hurun China Philanthropy List 2019, behind only Lu Weiding, CEO of the Hangzhou-based auto parts manufacturer Wanxiang Group. With a donation of 3.45 billion yuan ($498 million), Chen is the biggest donor among internet tycoons last year.

2019-06-05 Plastic pollution is everywhere In the deepest dive in a manned submersible, US explorer Victor Vescovo spotted and video-recorded a plastic bag and a pile of candy wrappers on the seabed. China Daily reporter Zhang Zhouxiang comments: His discovery of plastic waste 11.2 kilometers below sea level in the Challenger Deep in the Pacific Ocean, the deepest known point in the Earth's oceans, means there is nowhere on this planet plastic waste cannot reach, as it has been found on Mount Qomolangma and in both Arctic and Antarctic waters. Since the patent for plastics was registered in 1907, 8.3 billion tons of plastic products have already been produced, of which 6.3 billion have been disposed of without processing. Most of the discarded plastic products end up in the ocean. In the Pacific Ocean, plastic garbage and other waste have already formed an island that's 1.6 million square kilometers in size. That is the size of Mongolia. Every year, about 8 million tons of plastic waste flow into the ocean. It is estimated that the total weight of plastic waste will reach 12 billion tons by 2050, more than the total wei

2019-06-03 Women are happier without children or a spouse, says happiness expert We may have suspected it already, but now the science backs it up: unmarried and childless women are the happiest subgroup in the population. And they are more likely to live longer than their married and child-rearing peers, according to a leading expert in happiness. Speaking at the Hay festival, Paul Dolan, a professor of behavioral science at the London School of Economics, said the latest evidence showed that the traditional markers used to measure success did not correlate with happiness – particularly marriage and raising children. "Married people are happier than other population subgroups, but only when their spouse is in the room when they`re asked how happy they are. When the spouse is not present: f**king miserable," he said.

2019-05-31 You Can Kayak in Europe for Free, If You Pick Up Trash All over the world, our oceans, lakes, and rivers are full of trash. There`s a heap of plastic garbage swirling around in the Pacific Ocean right now and much of it is the result of our own littering and improper trash disposal. Some waterways in Europe suffer the same littering problem, which led to the EU banning single-use plastics, like cutlery and bags, outright back in March. To bring awareness to the problem of water pollution, Greenkayak, a Denmark-based environmental group, is letting travelers kayak for free on a number of Europe`s rivers and lakes-as long as they pick up any garbage they find along the way, which is a lot less disgusting than it sounds. Greenkayakers are provided with the basics: a life-vest, a paddle, a trash picker, a bucket for the garbage, and two hours of free kayak-time. You don`t need to be an experienced kayaker or an avid swimmer, as you won`t need to make direct physical contact with the water (thankfully).

2019-05-30 Facebook will Develop its own Digital Currency Facebook has reportedly set up a fintech company dubbed Libra Networks in Switzerland. The move clearly correlates with the social media giant`s Project Libra. The focus of the fintech is on the blockchain, payments, data analytics, and investing. Libra Networks, which was registered in Geneva on May 2, will provide financial and technology services. Also in its wheelhouse will be developing related hardware and software. Famed investor Michael Novogratz recently called Project Libra [stunningly important" to the crypto space. Given Facebook`s history of boasting about its projects, you`d think it would be bragging about Project Libra. That`s not the case. The Switzerland move was done with no fanfare such as company press releases or blog posts. This seems to be the way Facebook has chosen to roll out its Project Libra. It`s keeping close to the chest even where the project will be launched. In December, it hinted at plans to set up shop in India. Early reports suggest Zuckerberg`s cryptocurrency will facilitate overseas remittance payments for Indian WhatsApp users.

2019-05-27 This facial recognition app tells one panda from another Having trouble discerning one furry panda from another? A facial recognition app will make it easy for you. The app is developed by the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding along with researchers in Singapore Nanyang Technological university and Sichuan Normal University.

2019-05-24 What's the secret of life satisfaction? What you spend rather than what you earn helps to determine how satisfied you are with life, a new study says. Research from the Office for National Statistics found spending on hotels, restaurants and household furnishings was associated with life satisfaction. Unsurprisingly, spending on insurance and mobile phones was not. But the ONS said that overall spending and income mattered less than personal circumstances when measuring life satisfaction. Good health, marital status and economic activity had the strongest associations with how positively life satisfaction is rated.

2019-05-23 The Chinese high-speed rails The Chinese high-speed rails have a quality all on its own, because it`s so massive. There are more than twice as many high-speed trains in China as the rest of the world combined. Tier 1 cities like Beijing have a couple hundred high-speed trains stopping at the city every day. And the Chinese Spring Festival is just a mad house - an estimated 3 billion trips take place within a 2-week window. It would be the equivalent of every American taking 10 trips during Christmas, or every European taking 5 trips during Christmas. All the train tickets are gone within like 10 seconds after they become available. Firstly, China`s technology on building the railway is leading the rest of the world and there is no sign that any other country could surpass China`s position in near future. Secondly, China`s trains are based on Japanese, German and French models. At last, the scale of Chinese high-speed train is unthinkable to other countries which has high-speed train network.

2019-05-20 Game of Thrones fans start petition demanding HBO remake season 8 Game of Thrones is almost finished for good, and some fans have been voicing their dissatisfaction with how the story is unfolding. Some are so unhappy, in fact, it seems they want to convince HBO to remake the entire season 8 by replacing Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss with new writers at the helm. A fan named Dylan D. started a Change.org petition asking HBO to redo the entire season. The petition, titled "Remake Game of Thrones season 8 with competent writers," has reached more than 1,092,000 signatures as of this writing. "David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have proven themselves to be woefully incompetent writers when they have no source material (i.e. the books) to fall back on," Dylan D. posted. "This series deserves a final season that makes sense. Subvert my expectations and make it happen, HBO!"

2019-05-09 5G network may interference weather satellite work The introduction of 5G mobile phone networks could seriously affect weather forecasters` ability to predict major storms. That is the stark warning of meteorologists around the world, who say the next-generation wireless system now being rolled out across the globe is likely to disrupt the delicate satellite instruments they use to monitor changes in the atmosphere. The result will be impaired forecasts, poorer warnings about major storms, and loss of life, they say. [The way 5G is being introduced could seriously compromise our ability to forecast major storms," said Tony McNally of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts in Reading. [In the end it could make the difference between life and death. We are very concerned about this." The crisis facing the world`s meteorologists stems from the fact that the radio frequencies the new 5G networks will use could contaminate critical Earth observations made by weather satellites.

2019-05-06 Five films to watch this May Pokémon Detective Pikachu The first Japanese `pocket monsters` video game came out in 1996, and since then Pokémon has grown into a vast multi-media franchise, encompassing games, cartoons and more. But the phenomenon might just be getting started: when the trailer for the first ever live-action Pokémon film debuted in November, it clocked up 100 million views within 24 hours. Directed by Rob Letterman, Detective Pikachu is a comedy about a furry yellow squirrel-ish creature (voiced by Ryan Reynolds) who teams up with Tim Goodman (Justice Smith), the son of a missing private eye. Admittedly, some of us are still baffled, but, bearing in mind that the film is a noir pastiche that pairs real people with animated characters, it could turn out to be a 21st-Century Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

2019-05-04 The Biggest Flight Took Off The World's Largest Plane Just Took to The Skies in an Unreal First Flight Stratolaunch, the massive aircraft dreamed up by the late Paul Allen, flew for the first time on Saturday, becoming the largest plane by wingspan ever to take to the skies. Larger than Howard Hughes's Spruce Goose - which flew only once, in 1947- Stratolaunch lifted off from the Mojave Air and Space Port in the California desert and stayed aloft for 2.5 hours, company officials said, hitting an altitude of 17,000 feet (5,000 metres) and a maximum speed of 189 mph (304 km/h). The plane is a behemoth, with a twin fuselage, 28 wheels, six 747 jet engines and a wingspan longer than a football field, end zones included. "We finally did it," Jean Floyd, Stratolaunch's chief executive, said in a call with reporters. He said it was inspiring "to see Paul Allen's dream come to life."

2019-04-29 Which 'Avengers' character you are, based on your zodiac sign A confident leader who is passionate about following her heart and doing the right thing, Captain Marvel is the epitome of what an Aries truly is. Captain Marvel doesn't let anyone - or anything - stand in her way. And, like a typical fire sign, this Avenger never backs down from a challenge. Like those under the bull sign, Iron Man is known for his wit and intelligence. He is also known for his stubbornness in love and life in general.

Although he can sometimes be difficult to work with, his dependable and persistent nature makes him a valuable asset to the Avengers team. Thor's adopted younger brother is charming, fast-thinking, and sharp. Never one to turn from a verbal parry, Loki made Marvel audiences fall in love with him. Loki is the most Gemini person to ever Gemini, and has his eye on an ever-changing prize.

2019-04-26 Avengers Endgame The Marvel Cinematic Universe explained What is the Marvel Cinematic Universe? The Marvel Cinematic Universe - or MCU for short - is the shared place where all 22 films featuring the comic book characters are set. Each tells its own distinct story but also connects with other films in the MCU, to tell an overarching tale. It's a technique Marvel Comics pioneer Stan Lee also used in his comics. The MCU is the most successful film franchise of all time, making more than $18.2bn to date. Why did Marvel start with these characters? Marvel still owned the superheroes who form the core Avengers team - Iron Man, the Hulk, Thor and Captain America - so used the early MCU films to introduce these heroes. Marvel then brought these characters together for the crossover film Avengers Assemble. The firs

2019-04-22 That's why most Disney characters wear gloves Mickey, Minnie, Donald Duck, Pinocchio and more Disney characters have a regular glove accessory. Although there are many surprising facts about Disney's most famous characters, wearing gloves on animated characters is actually a very logical move. The short answer to why so many characters wear gloves is that animation is an intensive process. It takes time and precision to create the characters and love you know. Animators want to make their work easier and faster with a few tricks and hacks. According to V ox, one of these strategies is to use rounded edges instead of angles. Therefore, this also means simplifying features such as hands to make the animation process faster. Still, in the era of black and white comics, it is difficult to separate the circular hand of the character from the black body. Gloves are an easy way to make their hands stand out. In fact, Walt Disney may be the first person to wear gloves for his character in The O pry House, starring Mickey Mouse, who starred in V ox. Once the animation is removed from black and white, Mickey and his good friends will leave their signature white gloves.

2019-04-19 Why do we eat chocolate bunnies at Easter As far as holidays go, Easter is second only to Halloween in American candy sales-that`s a lot of chocolate bunnies. Easter-the most spiritually significant holiday of the Christian calendar-has always been heavily associated with symbolic foods, from lambs to egg-rich celebratory breads. Rabbits, however, are not mentioned in the scriptures that recount Jesus` crucifixion and resurrection. And chocolate, a New World food, was not even accessible to the masses until the mid-1800s. So how did chocolate bunnies come to dominate the Easter basket scene? It`s a thoroughly modern mash-up of commerce, confectionery, and immigration. The observance of Easter includes some elements adapted from pagan traditions celebrating cycles of new life in the springtime, and one of those is the rabbit, an animal known for its crazy-high fertility. Ostara, the Germanic pre-Christian fertility goddess, appa
