An interview with Zhenglu Lin, founder of the International Art Education Center for the Disabled located in Fujian, China, is presented. When asked about the initiative "Everyone is an Artist," he explains the project as a source of encouragement for those who disabled. He considers painting as a learning tool to recognize one's potential and may be considered as a self-approval process. He also comments on the popularity of Fawang Yang, and encourages the students be pure and independent.

The article features Shuilin Peng, an amputee who lost his lower body in a road accident in Shenzhen, China in 2004. Topics covered include details of his accident, his outlook on life after the accident, and the opening of his convenience store as well as the selling of his home-made tofu snack called Half-Man Special Tofu.

The article discusses the issues in oil production, including anhydrous production time, the law of bottom-water breakthrough, and the natural separation of the oil-water contact (OWC). It also combines the pressure-drop superposition principle, Darcy's law, and seepage models of plane and spherical-radial flow to correctly predetermine breakthrough time in a bottom-water reservoir with a barrier. Also cited is the results of a model testing in the Ordos basin in China.

High-resolution satellite precipitation products, which can provide a reasonable depiction of the spatial extent of rainfall, have been increasingly used to model hydrological processes. In this study, we introduced important satellite rainfall data - Fengyun (FY) precipitation product, and evaluated the data through streamflow simulation using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool model in Huifa River basin, China. Three precipitation inputs were conducted to investigate the simulation performance of the FY precipitation product: (1) available rain gauges within the watershed; (2) pixel values of FY-2 precipitation products nearest to the geographic centers of the subbasins; and (3) mean values of FY-2 precipitation pixels within the subbasins. The results showed that good model performance (defined as: NSE > 0.75; Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency: NSE) was achieved for all precipitation inputs both in the calibration and validation period. Best streamflow simulation was obtained when the model was calibrated with the third precipitation input, with NSE 0.86 and 0.84, R² 0.86 and 0.86 in the calibration and validation period. This study reveals that the FY precipitation product is a significant data source in modeling hydrological processes. Moreover, it is reasonable to use the mean values of the satellite precipitation pixels within the subbasins. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
