A Portland, Oregon man has become the first person to travel across Antarctica by himself without receiving any assistance.

Colin O'Brady has completed the 1, 500-kilometer trip. He crossed the continent in 54 days. Friends, family and other people followed his progress through messages and pictures he left on social media.

O'Brady spoke with his wife Jenna Besaw by telephone soon after he completed the journey. "It was an emotional call," she said. "He seemed overwhelmed by love and appreciation, and he really wanted to say 'thank you' to all of us."

The 33-year-old O'Brady documented the trip on the social networking services Instagram. He called his journey "The Impossible First". He wrote that he traveled the last 129 kilometers in one big, final push to the finish line. The distance took over one day to complete. O'Brady wrote, "While the last 32 hours were some of the most challenging hours of my life, they have quite honestly been some of the best moments I have ever experienced."

The day before, he wrote that he was "in the zone" and thought he could make it to the end without stopping. "I was listening to my body and taking care of the details to keep myself safe," he wrote. "I called home and talked to my mom, sister and wife. I promised them I would stop when I need to."

Other people have traveled across Antarctica, but they all had some form of assistance. They either had better, more plentiful supplies or devices that helped move them forward.

In 2016, British explorer Henry Worsley died in his attempt to travel alone across Antarctica unassisted. Worsley's friend Louis Rudd, also from Britain, is attempting an unaided solo journey in Worsley's honor. He was competing against O'Brady to be the first to do it. Besaw told the Associated Press that her husband plans to stay in Antarctica until Rudd finishes his trip.

"Inspector Sands to the control room, please." If you ever hear that at a British train station, don't panic. But you might appreciate knowing that this is a codeword meant to inform staff that there is an emergency somewhere in the building. The idea is to avoid causing alarm among commuters (通勤者), but still get the message out to those trained to deal with the problem.

The subject of secret codewords like this was raised this week on Reddit, and the discussion has attracted thousands of examples. But what codewords and signs are really out there in the wild?

A good place to start is hospital emergency codes. These are often colour-coded, and one health centre in Canada has published its list online. "Code red" announces a fire, "code white" indicates a violent person while "code black" means a bomb threat is active. It's been reported that hospital staff sometimes refer to the morgue as "Rose Cottage", in order to avoid upsetting relatives of a patient who has recently died.

"I can see very good reasons for having these codes," says Paul Baker, a linguist at the University of Lancaster. "It may be that people are unsure when they're giving the code so there's no point upsetting members of the public."

Not all codes are alphanumeric (字母数字的). Some are visual, intended to be hidden in plain sight. As BBC Future discovered earlier this year, many banknotes feature a specific pattern of dots placed there to prevent people from photocopying money. Many copiers and scanners are programmed to spot it.

And finally, the spray-painted squiggles (波形曲线) you see on pavements in towns and cities all over the world are codes understood by construction workers and engineers. For example, in UK, different colours are related to different types of cable or pipe. Blue meant a water system while yellow indicated gas lines and green labelled CCTV or data wiring.

All of these codes have a purpose — to avoid causing panic, to transmit subtle signals in social groups, or to provide technical information quickly and easily. "People don't like secrets, do they?" says Baker. "There is a drive to have as much information as possible — we do live in the information age," he adds.

When a friend comes to you after a stressful day, how do you comfort him? Do you let him complain? Do you pour him a glass of coffee? Those could work. But a new study finds that a very effective technique is also simple and easy—hugging.

"Individuals who reported noticing the availability of a network of supportive individuals tend to show better adaptation when faced with stress. But just because you have a support network does not mean that you absolutely feel that support," said Michael Murphy, a psychology expert at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. He wanted to know if people who received hugs regularly could handle anxiety and stress better.

So Murphy and his team interviewed 404 men and women every evening for two weeks, During these interviews, the participants were asked a simple yes or no question -whether somebody had hugged them that day-and a simple yes or no question of whether they had experienced conflict with somebody that day. They also were asked to respond to questions about negative and positive mood states.

And the researchers found that people who experienced a conflict were not as negatively affected if they received a hug that day as participants who experienced conflict and didn't get a hug. And they were also found not to carry the negative effect to the next day, while those who did not receive one would. The findings are in the journal PLOS ONE.

Murphy does include this warning: "So our findings should not be taken as proof that people should just start hugging anyone and everyone who seems upset. A hug from one boss at work or a stranger on the street could be viewed as neither agreeable nor positive." The idea is to relieve stress. Not add to it.

My dream is to become a school teacher in the future. In fact, I had the dream of becoming a teacher since my childhood. In my opinion, without teachers, no society could make progresses. There is no doubt whether teachers play an important role in children growth. Not only do teachers pass on knowledge for children, but they also teach children how to behave themselves. Comparing with other jobs, teaching is hard and the pay is lower. And to me, what great fun it is to be with children! They make me to feel young forever. Because I'll study harder and try my best to realize my dream.
