9、I went to the hospital and did an X-ray examination,but they saw nothing.Meanwhile,I could not walk and was in a wheelchair,” the retired worker said.Hence Miranda decided to visit the herbal facility.“On two occasions,I had to do acupuncture(针灸),and I have found great relief.Now I walk unaided,so I

10、 keep coming for treatment,” she said.As Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is gaining popularity in Ghana,many acupuncture clinics run by Chinese doctors pop up in the country.However,the China Traditional Herbal Hospital was established by 52-year-old Ghanaian business owner Bediako,after his frui

11、tful encounter with the effects of TCM in 2012.With the help of a Chinese lady,Bediako set up a small clinic specializing in TCM.Years on,the facility has subsequently grown into a bigger herbal hospital.The hospital treats patients with a combination of local and Chinese herbal cures.It supports th

12、is with the application of traditional Chinese medical methods.Strokes(中风) account for 1.3 percent of all hospital admissions in Ghana,and 6.3 percent of all hospital deaths.But Bediako is confident that as more people with these conditions turn to the natural methods of healing,the pain and death r

13、ates would subside.“A gentleman was brought here three weeks ago,who could not sit,stand,or walk.He was first taken through acupuncture.I observed him on camera 30 minutes later,squatting(蹲),standing,and walking.You come here with your pain but will leave with a smile.That is our feature,” he said.T

17、e Bears famous warning:“Remember,only YOU can prevent forest fires.”However,thats not always the case.Under the right conditions,and when conducted safely,fire can create many environmental benefits as well as help prevent larger,uncontrollable wildfires.After a forest fire,many wildlife species wil

18、l move into recently burned areas to feed on these newly available foods.Some reptiles and amphibians such as the pine (松树) snake prefer forests frequently burned by fire.As Herbert Stoddard put it,“One of the most harmful things modern man has done to birds has been his attempt to exclude fire from

19、 fire-type pine forests.Within a few years most forests choke up with bushes,lose their prairie-like vegetation (草原般植被) and can no longer support birds dependent on periodic burning for their food supply and proper cover.”If you are asked to picture the forest floor,what do you see?Pine needles,cone

20、s,leaves,branches might come to mindall sources of fuel.If these fuel sources build up without any type of removal,the “fuel load” can lead to fires catastrophic to forests and people alike.In contrast,prescribed fire can be used by forest professionals every couple of years to keep forest fuels at

28、lizer.The workshop tied together club members and workshop students,educating and inspiring some to start their own worm bins at home.In October,we held our first SpartansPickUp Day,co-hosted with Spartans Sierra Club.Fourteen teams of students safely picked up trash and posted pictures online.The c
