Ghanaian photojournalist Paul Ninson was surprised. When he came to New York to study photography five
years ago, he found a large collection of images of life inAfrica in the city’s libraries and museums. Here he was
thousandsofmilesfromGhana,surroundedbymorevisualhistoryofAfricathanhehadeverseenbackhome.
Thatinspiredhimtocreatealibraryofphotobooksin GhanatobringtheAfrican storyhome, allowingpeople
to learn about their history and give them tools to tell new stories of the continent. It has been realized with the
creationoftheDikanCenterinAccra,Ghana’scapital.Dikanmeans“takethelead”intheAkanlanguage.
This isn’t the only time Ninson set his sights on a seemingly impossible dream. Photography isn’t exactly
valued as a career path in Ghana. Ninson says, “If you tell your parents you’re going to be a photographer, it was
like, ‘What? Go be a lawyer.’” But Ninson felt photography was his calling. He was deeply influenced by the rich
family history of storytelling passed down through his grandparents and later, attracted by a friend’s images,
developed a love of photography. It felt natural to combine the two, so he dove in. With great determination, he
managedtocollectmorethan30,000volumes.InDecember2022,theDikanCenteropened.
Ghanaian DaniellaAfful was particularly moved by Dikan’s exhibition, and said it gave her a new viewpoint
onhercountry’spastandpresent.She said,“Dikanhas made artandphotographymoresignificant. Ithas given us
thehopethatwemaysoonhaveamusiclibraryinGhana.WecouldhaveafilmlibraryinGhana—anythingjustto

It’s tooearly to nameany activityThe Sportof 2025,butifyou asked me todoit today,I wouldgive the title
to Hyrox, which is an individual but interactive activity. Fitness fans run eight kilometres and stop after each to
perform exercises such as sled pushes or burpees. The faster you complete the course, the higher your score is in
theHyrox worldwide rankings. Many surveys indicate thatpeople areexercising more nowthan in previous years.
It’sindividualfitnesspursuitsthataredrivingtherise.
I spent the first half of my 29-year-old life as a hockey player and the second as a distance runner. I long for

Onecommonexplanationis thatorganizedsportshaven’tbouncedbacksince thepandemic （疫情） a few
years ago. When people learned to exercise with less money, equipment, space, time and organization, they kept
individual activities. Meanwhile, there are now fitness apps for users to tailor works based on their heart rates and
sleepquality.Theriseofwearableshasalsogotsomeofusaddictedtoourownexerciseroutines.
However, an obvious problem for individual sports is loneliness. Engaging in team sports is a proven way to
ease it, which boosts our ability to interact and form meaningful relationships.Well, Hyrox is a combined activity:
anindividualsportthatwedowith others.Eachcompetitionfollows thesamescoringsystem,whichallowspeople
tocomparetheirresultswithothersaroundtheworld.
It’s the type that’s come to dominate the fitness world. And, according to Guy Faulkner, a professor at the

Athird oftheArctic’stundra （北极冻土）,forests andwetlandshavebecomeasourceofcarbonemissions
（排放）,anewstudyhasfound,asglobalheatingendsthousandsofyearsofcarbonstorage.
For thousandsofyears,Arctic landecosystems haveactedas adeep-freeze, holdingpotentialemissionsin the
tundra. But ecosystems in the region are releasing more CO into the atmosphere with rising temperatures, a study
2
publishedinNatureClimateChangeconcluded.
More than 30% of the region was a source of CO , according to the analysis, rising to 40% when emissions
2
from wildfires were included. By using data from 200 study sites between 1990 and 2020, the research
demonstrateshowtheArctic’stundra,forestsandwetlandsarebeingtransformedbyrapidwarming.
The shift is occurring despite the Arctic becoming greener. “One place where I work in Alaska, when the
tundra unfreezes, the plants that absorb CO grow more, so you can sometimes get an uptick in carbon storage”,
2
SueNatalia,theleadresearchersaid.“Butthetundracontinuestounfreezeandthemicrobes（微生物）takeover.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Youcanvisuallyseethechangesinthelandscape.”
There is a growing concern about the natural processes that regulate the Earth’s climate, which are being
affected by rising temperatures. Together, the planet’s oceans, forests, soils and other natural carbon sinks absorb
abouthalfofallhumanemissions,buttherearesignsthatthesesinksareunderstress.
The Arctic ecosystem has been gathering carbon for thousands of years, helping cool the atmosphere. In a
warming world, the researchers say, its carbon cycle is beginning to change and needs better monitoring. DrAnna
Virkkala,theauthorofthestudy,said,“ThecarbonintheArcticsoilisclosetohalfoftheEarth’ssoilcarbonpool,
much more than in the atmosphere.This huge poolshould ideally stay in the ground. But now,rising temperatures
are speeding the breakdown of plant and animal remains, which releases stored carbon back into the air as

themostproductivewritersarethebusiest. 36
Overcoming self-doubt and fear is the key to unlocking your potential. 37 Most of the time, the real
reason why we avoid writing is that we’re afraid of failing. It’s simpler to complain about being too busy than to
faceourfears.Tosolvethisproblem,wecantrytounderstandwhatwe’rescaredof,dealwithit,andthenfocuson
movingforward.
A simple way to find more time to write is to give yourself a clear goal. It needs to be SMART: specific,
measurable, achievable, realistic andtime-bound. 38 If you successfully meet your target, you could give
yourself a smallreward:buya newnotebook orpen,go fora long walk, or take adayoff fromwriting andjustdo
somethingcompletelydifferent.

Ms. Carter’s classroom was always warm, even in winter. The walls were covered with student essays and
faded world maps. 14-year-old Jamie sat in the back row, his head hanging low and eyes fixed on his worn shoes.
Hehadn’tturnedinhisassignmentsforseveraldays.
“Stay after class, Jamie,” Ms. Carter said softly one December afternoon. Her voice wasn’t angry—just
worried. “I know you’re capable,” she said, sliding his blank notebook across the desk. “But you’ve missed every
deadline.Isthereanythingwrong?”
Jamie, struggling with something he couldn’t express, held back his words and remained silent. Outside,

Ms. Carter called Jamie to the office. Sunlight pooled around the envelope as Ms. Carter pushed it toward
Jamie. “This will settle the problem.” she said, her eyes reflecting the hopes in the young boy and his family.
Jamie’s fingertips brushed the seal-thicker than his math textbook-where the charity’s name shone. His throat
tightened, tears clouded with tears. “Thank you Ms. Carter. I didn’t expect…” Ms. Carter patted Jamie on the
shoulderandsmiled,“Ibelieveyouandyourfamilywillgetthroughthissoon.”Bitinghislips,Jamienodded.
After school, Jamie got home and handed the envelope to his mom. The envelope felt so heavy in Mom’s

W: Next week! Unlike my last piece, which was about a man that unexpectedly becomes a millionaire, this one
follows the adventures of a detective, who crosses two continents searching for a banker who’s disappeared after

M: Hello everyone! I’d like to talk about an inventor, James Dyson. His ideas come because he sees things that
couldworkbetter,likethehanddryer.Buthowdidhestart?Well,DysonwasborninEnglandin1947．Hestudied
art and design before he studied engineering. When he saw something that didn’t work well, he got upset and
worked to improve it. For example, his first invention was a vehicle with a ball for a wheel. This made it easier to
carryheavythings inthegardenandover roughground.Itwasaninterestingnewuseforaball.Also, eventhough

looks like a waterfall made from glass and water, with the water running up instead of falling down. That’s
surprising. This was a piece of art that Dyson made in 2003, called Wrong Garden. It tricks the eye. Dyson is still
inventing newthings. Butheis also interested insupportingeducationfor students.Hehas even donatedmoney to
