An eight-year-old boy self-published a graphic novel about Christmas but never expected the book to attract a large fen base in the U. S. and overseas.

Author Dillon Helbig wrote the book, titled "The Adventures of Dillon Helbig's Christmas", because he "likes Christmas and decorations".

Dillon's journey to getting it published is a pretty interesting story.

During Christmas break, the second-grader penned the book filled with pictures. The book begins with Dillion himself decorating a Christmas tree. The star on top of the tree explodes, and then he is sucked into a portal (入口).

Over just four days, the boy filled in 81 pages of a journal. Then he went to the local Ada Community Library with his mother.

"He wanted to get his story out there so all the kids can read his adventures, " his mother said.

He was unsure how to get his book on the library shelf, so he planned to sneak (潜行) past the librarians.

"There were a lot of librarians, " Dillon said, but he successfully slid his book onto a children's picture-book shelf.

One of the librarians found it. And he said_, "Oh, this is kind of interesting. " And he added it to the catalog.

After secretly posting his book, Dillon's graphic novel attracted fans. 56 people were on the waiting list to check it out by the end of January. The number has grown to 88 this week. Demand for Dillon's graphic novel extends beyond the United States. One of the librarians received inquiries for the book from The Netherlands and Bangladesh.

Dillon has wanted to publish a book since he was five. The library gave Dillon an award for ^"best young novelist", which he does have a lot to be proud of.

Slurp&Sip is a cheerful bistro (小酒馆) in Shanghai that specializes in exotic southwestern food from Yunnan Province,

Niu Yun, who hails from Kunming, Yunnan Province, opened her first eatery (小餐馆) in 2014 after studying in London.

"At that time there weren't many choices for Yunnan food, and I think the province has so much tasty food and such a diverse food culture that I could bring to Shanghai, " she said. "After meeting a few good friends who also love Yunnan cuisine, we decided to open a simple Yunnan eatery focusing on street food to start with, introducing Yunnan rice noodles and street snacks I used to buy every day after school. "

Opening this new restaurant after operating Slurp for a few years is a natural step for Niu Yun and her partners. The menu of Slurp&Sip pays homage (敬意) to Niu's origins with a major focus on Dai flavors.

"My mum is Dai, and I remember every time she brought me back to her hometown the food really made a strong impression. From how they cook and the ingredients they use, all are very special to me. Dai food is all about fresh and mixed ingredients, as well as natural and original ways of cooking. " she said.

"I feel diners shouldn't only know about crossing the bridge rice noodles and steampot chicken when we talk about Yunnan food. We have such a diverse culture with so many different minorities, so I decided to start with the one I'm the most connected with J she added.

Dai cuisine is characterized by a combination of fresh herbs, chilis and acidic elements. It incorporates lots of great produce from the province's southernmost prefecture.

Dai food is also full of barbecue items often seen in night markets, such as roasted lemongrass stuffed fish, roasted chicken and roasted pork with Dai spices, all of which grace Slurp&Sip 's menu.

More plants are growing and expanding around Mount Everest (local name Mount Qomolangma) as the area continues to experience the consequences of global warming, researchers have found.

Scientists from the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom used satellite data to establish increases in subnival vegetation-plants that grow between the tree line and the snow line.

Using NASA Landsat satellite data from 1993 to 201& scientists measured "small but significant" increases in vegetation cover between 4, 150 and 6, 000 meters above sea level.

''There are now more areas that are covered in plants than there were in 1993, " said Karen Anderson, a remote sensing scientist who led the research.

"We don't know what the impact is. It may be that plants trap snow and might cause it to melt more slowly. It might be that the plants cause the snow to melt more quickly, " she added.

1.4 billion people depend on water collected in the region, and changes to water cycles and supplies could have far reaching impacts, their research, published in the Global Change journal, said.

"We know that plants and the water cycle are coupled?" Anderson explained. "Wherever you have plants growing, it changes the way the water cycle behaves in those areas. "

"This is particularly important in the Himalayas because glaciers are receding (后退), and we know from lots of scientific work that this is already affecting water supplies in this region, " she added.

Climate change is already having an impact on Himalayan communities. A 2019 study from Columbia University found that Himalayan glaciers have been losing almost half a meter of ice each year since the start of this century. This is already resulting in flooding for local communities, and could ultimately result in drought.

Last year, an assessment from the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development found that at least a third of the ice in the region could melt by the end of the century.

Have you heard of Wordle? It has gained millions of fans since its public launch in October, 2021. Here is something you might want to know about Wordle.

Wordle is a free word guessing game developed by Josh Wardle, a software engineer, in Brooklyn.

The aim of the game is to guess a 5-letter word. It is different from other word games because it can only be played once per day. The target word is the same for everyone that day, and a new word is released at midnight. And while there is no official mobile app for Wordle, you can also play it by visiting the web page on your Android, iPhone, or iPad.

How to play Wordle?

You have six attempts to guess a 5-letter word. Wordle will help you by giving clues along the way by changing the colors of each letter entered in the boxes.  If a letter is highlighted in green, it means that it's placed in the correct spot in the daily word. A yellow letter shows that it is in the daily target word, but in the wrong spot. Gray indicates that the letter is not in the target word at all.

Wordle tips and tricks:

Choose a good starter word which contains at least three vowel (元音) letters. The goal of the starting guess is to narrow down the options for the remaining 5 guesses. Using three vowels is a great way to achieve that.

Consider possible words based on the results of your first guess. After you enter your first guess, there might be some yellow or green letters to work with. Think of some 5-letter words that contain those letters, but don't use any of the gray letters.

A yellow letter means that it is in the word of the day, but not in the right position. Consider the most common locations of the yellow letters in 5-1etter words you know. For example, if you have a yellow "k" in the second position of your word, you might try placing it in the 5^th position - many 5-letter words end with "ck".

Continue to enter your guesses until all the letters are green.

My classmates and I visited the city museum on last Friday, where an exhibition of the traditional Chinese folk handicrafts was going on. A great many crafted items were on display, so each of them had a unique style. While admiring them, we feel proud of the wisdoms of the Chinese people. Besides, some craftsmen invited to show how to make them, which was very impressive. We were such amazed that we couldn't tear us away. We thought the exhibition was well worth visited. It was the trip to the museum which helped us to learn more about the Chinese art and culture. It is wide acknowledged that appreciating one⁵s own culture is important for understanding oneself.
