Progress and Obstacles to Resurrecting Prehistoric Organisms
Recent advances in genetic engineering and cloning have led to the idea of "resurrecting" animals that have been extinct in the past, but how far can we go? Hendrik Poyner, director of the Centre for Ancient DNA at McMaster University in Canada, and his research team succeeded this year in extracting the complete genome of the mammoth, an ancient animal that only appears in science fiction movies, for the first time, and published a report on it in the semiannual journal Current Biology. Poyner is excited to have access to the complete biological data of the long-extinct mammoth. He said, "Research has progressed rapidly in the last 10 years. I was involved in the first phase of this research as a student, and now I'm working on the second phase. I feel like I've become an old man in this field, even though I'm only 44 years old."

Follow the lives of three women as they rebel against cultural traditions they consider oppressive
I am different. I always was. To my mother, I seemed like an alien. While my sisters swooned over colorful pages that our father’s employee brought each year for the celebration at the end of Ramadan, fighting to claim the color that best suited them, I would arrive well behind everyone else, take the page that no one else wanted, and leave, bored, to plunge back into my books. While my sisters discontinued their studies as early as possible, not wanting to disobey my father, and agreed to marry the men that he or one of my uncles chose for them (they were more interested in the material aspects of marriage, the gifts or the interior design of their future home), I stubbornly persisted in going to high school. I explained to the women of the family my ambition to become a pharmacist, which made them burst into laughter. They called me crazy and bragged about the virtues of marriage and the life of a homemaker.

After 20 years old, you have to develop the ability to pull away from others
"Some people live in high buildings, some in deep ditches, some light a million, some a rust." This saying is both cruel and realistic and tells the whole story of the gap between people, I do not know when and where quietly opened the gap in life.

The road too comfortable to walk, are downhill
01. I'm anxious. How can I put it? There is always a trepidation that if I am not careful, I will fall behind. This mindset is similar to fear. It is also uncomfortable. However, looking back at where I came from, I realized that anxiety was also one of the motivating factors that made me grow.

People who have dreams are not alone
1. Are you lonely? In the morning, you go to work by yourself according to the schedule, and after work, you are packed in the car with a large group of strangers with a lot of sleepiness. The street scene outside the window is so beautiful that sometimes you feel inexplicably moved, and sometimes you feel disgusted for no reason.

Instead of complaining, we should change
Life, like a river, whether the tide is flat or reefs ahead, you are only allowed to go forward, not backward. From crying and crying after a fall, to running with a proud smile on their face, children who do not experience a fall will never learn to walk

When I decided to lose weight
Since childhood, I was an ugly and fat boy, weighing much more than my peers, and the swim ring on my stomach was like a birthmark that never left me. Then before I went to college, I spent a whole summer losing weight successfully, getting rid of the terrible flab, and no longer the fat guy with the roundest face in the graduation photo.

Whatever doesn't defeat you, makes you stronger!
01 Yong Hui my former colleague, not long ago left the business and opened a theme restaurant. A few days ago, I was a little surprised to see him posting a status in his circle of friends that the new store was doing a lot of business and was busy. The day before, he also told me that because the dishes are not distinctive enough, the location is not a busy downtown, business is a little slow, and it is estimated that this month even keeping the capital is difficult.

The extraordinary handbags that are both fashion and art
Bags are unique as fashion accessories. They are not required to enclose a part of the body, which has allowed freedom and inventiveness over the centuries, resulting in creations which are not mere fashion items, but works of art. This phenomenon has reached its logical conclusion in recent years, as brands collaborate with fine artists such as Tracey Emin and Marc Quinn to produce bags that would not look out of place in a gallery, which is indeed where they can be seen in the V&A's new exhibition, Bags: Inside Out. But it is not only their aesthetic appeal that can be compared to art. Classic creations by brands like Hermès, Chanel and Dior are increasingly being appreciated for their investment potential.

Tartan: The misunderstood icon of 'Scottishness'
More resonances cling to tartan than perhaps any other fabric. It's a stirring visual expression of both history and geography, as well as innovative design and self-expression. "There are many ways in which you can make a tartan distinctive and imbue it with personal or collective meaning," says Rosie Waine, William Grant Foundation research fellow at National Museums Scotland. "Throughout its history, tartan has been used to express political viewpoints, as well as familial, regional and national identities. It has been viewed as tame and conservative by some; bold, brilliant and radical by others."

The birth of the Black is Beautiful movement
On 28 January 1962, a large crowd formed outside Purple Manor, a nightclub in the Harlem neighbourhood of New York City. A fashion show was taking place – an event that proved so popular it had to be held for a second time that same night – which sparked a movement that would change the way black people were represented forever.
