Children are naturally curious about the world around them.When Cha Hann was only4years old, he encountered homeless people for the first time while shopping with his dad at an outdoor mall in Salt Lake City,Nevada.It’s no wonder that he had a lot of questions.
“Cha looked at me and said,‘Dad,who are the people?Why don’t they have a place to stay?’”John Hann recalled.“After I explained that they had run into hard times and were homeless,I knew that we were looking at an educational opportunity.My son wanted to help them.”
The father and son convinced a local Jamba Juice store to donate more than100smoothies(果汁)and the pair gave them out to homeless people in a park.
After that,they came up with an even better idea.“I wanted a way to get to know people better,“Cha said.”So,my dad and I decided to start taking some of the homeless people we’d met out to lunch.
“A lot of people walk right past homeless people and don’t e the person,”he said.“I know now that they’re people just like us.They want to make a connection and not feel so alone in the world.”
Hundreds of lunches later,they run a lf-funded charity called Project Empathy(同情)to help inspire others to meet and to create relationships with the homeless people in their neighborhoods.The organization provides a list of resources that can help homeless people with food,housing and employment.
John said that what started as a way to spend quality time with his son has turned into a passion for both of them.“Cha and I realized that the country needed an army of people to practice empathy,and that by doing something as simple as taking a homeless person to lunch,we could maybe inspire others to do the same,”he said.“Any time you can help to give someone a voice,it’s e

Bard,Kinetic(Coffee Hou Press,2023)by Anne Waldman,one of the most important living American poets,is a new collection of autobiographical(自传体的)pieces,including published and unpublished essays,correspondence,interviews,and poems from the last20years.
Though the origin of the texts and poems is relatively recent,Bard,Kinetic tracks Waldman’s life from her childhood in Greenwich Village to the prent.Rather than a memoir(回忆录),this energetic collection integrates her stories into contexts—literary,political,spiritual,familial.
In Sketch,the first and longest piece in the book,Waldman describes what guided her to poetry from an early age—Her intellectual and artistic parents encouraged her“to read widely,to write,think,talk about it,be curious and critical.”Reading Sketch for its wonderful autobiographical details and the successful moments that run through Waldman’s life is a pleasure.In Interview with Poetas,Madrid2018, another piece from the book’s cond ction,she wrote,“We need cultural and humanitarian revolution. We need poetry to remind us of the magic we have had that needs attendance and recharge.”Her voice and vision have a collective width.
Waldman insists on combining art with nearly every aspect of her life.Bard,Kinetic,at all points,a high-energy construct,and at all points,an energy-discharge,puts readers on the path to recognizing poetry
as a mental aid,as an action that reaches across geography,species,and time.As she wrote in the book’s preface,she commands herlf to“keep pushing for knowledge,study with a deeper investigation and a deeper action.The action,totally necessary”.The are high aims that Waldman has insisted on,tirelessly, her entire life.Waldman shines.Her heart could be our heart.
This new book is best read as a companion of Vow to Poetry(2001),Waldman’s previous collection of interviews and autobiographical essays,which will help readers appreciate this book better.

Environmental conditions experienced by parent plants can influence offspring performance through parental effects induced(感应的)by DNA.The offspring can also be influenced by environmental conditions experienced by their parents via soil legacy(遗产)effects due to changes in the composition of soil.
We conducted a two-pha experiment with five genotypes(基因型)of a clonal plant.In the first pha, we grew parent plants of each genotype under two light conditions and two DNA treatments.We then collected soils and clonal offspring for each genotype from each of the four treatments and measured soil
properties.In the cond pha,we grew the offspring from each of the four treatments in the four different soils,under the two light conditions.
When grown under environmental light condition and in soil from environmental parents,offspring pro
duced by environmental parents grew larger than offspring produced by shaded parents when the parents were treated with water.This difference was smaller when the parents were treated with5-7°C,and disappeared when the offspring were grown in soil from shaded parents.The growth difference was also obrved when the offspring were grown under shaded condition and in soil from shaded parents.However, this difference was greater when the parents were treated with5-7°C,and disappeared when the offspring were grown in soil from environmental parents.
Our results show that light condition experienced by parents can influence offspring respons to light through both parental effects and soil legacies.The parental effects were mediated(调节)by changes in DNA and the soil legacies.The impacts may eventually influence the ecological and evolutionary track of clonal plant populations.
