In a rough inner-city area in the eastern U. S., a small place was a lawless jungle. Broken
glass, rubbish, and mindless drawings turned the space into a “no-go” zone for most of the
residents. But one day,a small group of people living nearby decided that was enough. Seeking a
resolution,theyplannedaprojecttoturntheareaintoacommunityspace,aspaceofhealing,hope,
andgrowth,notdestructionanddespair.
Moving in, the group realized that those who were using the space inappropriately early on
must have a say.Then the group arranged a meeting, but no one came. Thinking outside the box,
they started with one simple idea, building a white wall where anyone could leave their thoughts
aboutthefutureofthesite.
Not all of the suggestions were useful. But slowly, the group itself and others using the site
beganto seesome progress.Thosewho wouldnotusually havea voice insuchdiscussions began
to weigh in. They wrote things like “a place to meet up”, “a creative space” and so on. Someone

One day, a couple of young men showed up and just started helping. Some other people passing

The group added four small raised beds, planting crops in one of them. Gradually, as the
greenery flourished, so did the bonds between the group and nearby residents. People who had
never gardened before slowly got involved. The once-neglected corner blossomed into a bustling

Human beings’curiosity about outer space hasn’t declined in the past decade, and with Jeff
Bezos’historic commercial flight to the edge of space this past summer, dreamers are that much
closertoexperiencingtheGalaxy（银河系）forthemselves.
It’sreportedthatonecompanyisaimingtomakespacearealityforpeople,andispioneering
a new age of space tourism. In 2019, the California-based company Gateway Foundation first
explored the idea. Its dream was to make visiting space, in excellent accommodation, a future
vacationchoice.Theproject,nowcalledVoyagerStation,isrunbyOrbitalAssemblyCorporation,
aconstructioncompanyledbyheadoftheGatewayFoundationandformerpilot,JohnBlincow.
Space tourism draws closer as Orbital Assembly Corporation has announced plans to build
the world’s first space hotel named “Voyager Station”, which is expected to open in 2027. With a
date in close sight, the hotel’s architects and engineers are hard at work, aiming to design an
out-of-this-world experience. They plan to decorate the suites with elegant bars and restaurants
with a touchofspace,as well asEarth-viewinglounges anduniquespacefoodtreats.Theteam is
also taking advantage of the reduced gravity that will be felt in the station to plan to let their
guests weightlessly carry heavy objects, jump higher or run faster in ways people can’t normally

Gravitywillremainin therooms andbarsthough becauseVoyagerStation’sscientific design
makes it possible by creating artificial gravity within the hotel. The hotel is designed as a wheel

Thedebateaboutspanking（打屁股）childrenhasbeenongoingformanyyears,butacrucial
question often gets overlooked: does it actually work? In the immediate moment, a swift slap on
the buttocks or hand can correct misbehavior. However, what about its long-term effects? Could
spankingleaveinvisible,lastingscarsonchildren?
At a recent conference, sociologist Murray Straus from the University of New Hampshire
presentedresearchsuggestingthatphysicalpunishmentlowersIQ.Hehasbeenstudyingthistopic
since 1969 and found that children who were physically punished scored up to five points lower
onIQ tests comparedtothosewhoweren’t.Themoretheywerespanked,thelower theirIQ.This
effect was observed not only in individual children but across entire countries. Among 32
countries Straus studied, in those where spanking was accepted, the average IQ of the survey
populationwaslowerthaninnationswherespankingwasrare,theresearchersays.
In the United States, Straus and his colleague Mallie Paschall studied 1,510 children and
found that three-quarters had experienced some form of physical punishment in the past two
weeks. Researchers measured the children’s IQ initially and again four years later. Those who
hadn’t been spanked scored significantly better on intelligence and achievement tests.Among the
2-to-4-year-olds, the difference in IQ was five points; among the older kids, there was a 2.8-point
gap. This association remained even after considering factors like parental education and
occupation.
Still, it’s not clear if spanking causes lower cognitive ability or if lower cognitive ability
might somehow lead to more spanking. “It could be that lower IQ causes parents to get annoyed
and hit more,” Straus says, although he notes that a recent Duke University study of low-income
families found thattoddlers’low mental ability did not predictan increase in spanking. The study
didfind,however,thatkidswhowerespankedatage1displayedmoreaggressivebehaviorbyage
2, and scored lower on cognitive development tests by age 3. “Yes, there’s still something to be
done.”saysStraus,“Theproblemis,whentheparentdoesthat,itseemstohaveharmfulresultsto
cognitiveabilityinthelongterm.”
Whilespankingmayseemliketheonlywaytodisciplinesomechildrenintheshortterm,the
long-term cost could be more trouble. The harmful effects of spanking on cognitive ability are
concerning. “Yes, there’s still something to be done,” says Straus. “The problem is, when parents

What you do whenyou land may matter more than prep beforeyour flight. Dr.AlonAvidan,

exposure is the key regulator of circadian rhythms. He advises travelers who land in the morning
to wear sunglasses to avoid seeing direct sunlight untilearly afternoon.As your trip progresses, it

I sat at the breakfast table with my four-year-old son, Matthew, trying to ignore the ache in
my stomach. “Mama, want to play?” “Not today, baby.” I shook my head. These days I could
barelygetoutofbed.Iwasstillrecoveringfromanoperation.Ihopedforstrengthandhappiness,
butthefutureseemedsohopeless.
Suddenly,Matthewjumpedupfromhisspotonthekitchenfloor.“Bird!”heshouted,rushing

Matthew could hardly contain his excitement. Every morning, he’d run into the kitchen and
take his spot by the sliding glass door, talking to the birds while they worked. His happiness was
influential.AsmuchasIwassad,Icouldn’thelpbutlookforwardtothedoves’visitstoo.

I surveyed the damage. Nothing good ever lasted. I wouldn’t blame the doves if they never
came back. But they returned.And they paid no attention to the pile of sticks that had once been
their nest.They startedagain from thebeginning.Again, though,the winddestroyed alltheir hard
