After finishing his dinner,Lin Xu opened a WeChat mini-program called "Clear Plate" on his phone and took picture of the empty plates.He was then awarded 157 credit points after the image was uploaded and recognized by artificial intelligence.
"Urs of the app can u their credit to buy gifts,such as books and cellphones to purcha charity meals donated to children in poor rural areas, " Lin said.
A nationwide "Clear Your Plate" campaign is gaining steam online.Efforts to stop food waste and promote thrift are also being made by restaurants that have been urged to create an environment in which consumers are reminded not to waste food.They are also encouraged to offer different portion sizes so that customers can have more choices.

As The Father goes on,the more it becomes clear that it's his own mind that's playing tricks on him.What makes the movie so unttling is the way it wires us directly into his subjective experience,so that the foundations of the story em to shift at random from scene to scene.A man suddenly appears in the apartment,claiming to be Anne's husband,which is odd,since just a few moments earlier,Anne emed to be single.Anne goes out shopping for groceries,but when she returns,she's played not by Olivia Colman but by another actress,Olivia Williams.Even the apartment itlf begins to shift.You notice puzzling differences-wasn't there a lamp on that hallway table just a moment ago石沉大海？

While space travel still gets lot of attention,not enough attention has been paid to the exploration of oceans.about which we know much less than the dark side of the moon.
Ninety percent of the ocean floor has not even been recorded and while we have been to the moon,the technology to explore the ocean's floors is still being developed.For example,a permanent partially-underwater a exploration station,called the Sea Orbiter,i
s currently in development.
The oceans play a major role in controlling our climate.But we have not learned yet how to u them to cool us off rather than contribute to our overheating.Ocean organisms are said to hold the promi of cures for a wide of the unique eyes of skate （ray fish） led to advances in conquering blindness,the horshoe crab was important in developing a test for bacterial pollution,and a urchins helped in the development of test-tube fertilization（人工授精）.The toadfish's ability to regenerate its central nervous system is of much interest to neuroscientists.A recent Japane study concluded that the drug Eribulin,which was taken from a sponges,is effective in fighting with breast,colon,and Urinary cancer.
Given the approaching crisis of water insufficiency,we badly need to improve current methods,of desalinating（淡化） ocean water and make them more efficient and less costly.By 2025，1.8 billion people are expected to suffer from vere water shortage,with that number jumping to 3.9 billion by 2050-well over a third of the entire global population.
