heart was racing I stared down at my sweat covered shaking hands I looked up again at the audience realizing that these were real people They were not just my mum and dad who would say Good job even if I messed up the entire piece What if I had the wrong music What if I played the wrong notes As it turned out I was never able to answer these questions because the spotlight 聚光灯 was waiting for me I grasped my hands tightly together drying off the sweat Slowly I walked to the mud brown piano in the center of the room It contained 88 demanding keys which were waiting impatiently to be played I swallowed the golf ball sized lump 隆起部分 in my throat and sat down Slowly I opened the music Next I rested my still shaking hands on the ivory 象牙色的 keys As my fingers played across the keys I was becoming more unsure of my preparation for this moment But the memory of my years of training came flooding back I knew that I had practiced this piece so many times that I could play it backwards if requested Although at one point I accidentally played two keys instead of the intended one I continued to move my fingers automatically 自动地 My eyes burned holes into the pages in front of me There was no way that I was going to lose my concentration To keep this to myself I leaned forward and focused carefully on the music When I came to the end of the page a warning went off inside my head DON T MAKE A MISTAKE WHEN YOU TURN THE PAGE Needless to say I obeyed myself with all my heart and mind And proud of my page turning feat 技 艺 I finished the rest of the piece without making a single mistake

Turkish man was struggling to find his hotel holding a cane in one hand and pulling his luggage with the other 5 Not surprisingly all of a sudden I bumped into a pole he says It was a little bit bloody The problem with a cane is that while it can tell you what s on the grounds it doesn t help with objects at the body or head level It wasn t the first time Ceylan had run into something injuring himself I have no problem with my scars they make me more handsome I guess Ceylan says laughing But I don t need new ones With WeWalk a new smart cane Ceylan hopes to help other blind people navigate their environments more easily The cane uses an ultrasonic 超声波 sensor which detects objects at body or head level and gives a warning vibration WeWalk users pair the cane with their smartphones and then use the cane s touchpad to access features like voice assistant or navigation Before leaving home they can plug their destination into Google Maps and get spoken directions as they walk In the future Ceylan hopes to connect WeWalk with public transportation and ridesharing services The GPS and voice technology enabled cane can tell users what s around them they re passing a

the WeWalk cane apart from other technologies Ceylan sees WeWalk as part of an attempt to help blind people achieve greater freedom of movement which he believes will give them greater access to

there without 6 even knowing it Forget Atlantis said Douwe study author and professor at Utrecht University Without realizing it vast numbers of tourists spend their holiday each year on the lost

The researchers found that Greater Adria started to become its own continent about 240 million years ago This isn t the first time a lost continent has been found In January 2017 researchers announced the discovery of a lost continent left over from the supercontinent Gondwana which began breaking apart 200 million years ago The leftover piece which was covered in lava 岩浆 is now under Mauritius an island in the Indian Ocean And in September 2017 a different research team found the lost continent of Zealandia through ocean drilling in the South Pacific It s two thirds of a mile beneath the sea

bottle s cracks and the health consequences are pretty serious We spoke to Kent Atherton CEO of PuriBloc technology about the risks of reusing plastics Even BPA free products are not safe because manufacturers are now using other estrogenic 雌激素类的 chemicals 37 said Atherton 7 These estrogenic chemicals can have a negative effect on human being s hormonal balances 38 In a study of 259 plastic water bottles at the State University of New York scientists found that 93 of the surveyed bottles had some form of microplastic contamination 污染 Additionally single use plastic bottles are mostly made of polyethylene terephthalate or PET which is safe to use but not reuse 39 The thing about water bottles is that they come into contact with our mouth and hands which are home to a lot of bacteria says Professor Stephanie Liberatore in the academic journal The Science Teacher Their openings are small which makes them difficult to clean This combined with their wet environment can make water bottles a bacterial breeding ground To drink water without harm smart drinkers should avoid re using disposable 一次性的 bottles 40 Not only will doing so benefit your health but you can help the environment too A There s also the factor of bacteria to consider B They may also cause the same danger to human health C Instead they should recycle them after drinking up once D Plastic water bottle
