How should a man propose to his sweetheart? One man in China had a very unusual way of asking his girlfriend to marry him. He arranged to meet her in the street, and while he was waiting for her, he and his friends made a big heart using 520 bottles of soy milk. I’m not sure why he chose soy milk. Maybe it is her favorite drink. Or maybe he just wanted to make a heart with white bottles. In any case, when his girlfriend arrived, he gave her flowers, and she accepted his proposal. They didn’t drink the soy milk though. They gave it to the crowd of people who were watching. (by Prof.Douglas Jarrell)

The Nobel Prize Award Ceremony 2016 was held on December 10 in Stockholm, Sweden. There are six prizes altogether, and this year, a Japanese scientist won the Medicine Award. It went to Osumi Yoshinori for his work on autophagy. The big surprise was the Literature Prize. It was given to a songwriter for the first time. Bob Dylan got the award for his songs with beautiful, moving words. I was happy to see the Peace Prize go to President Juan Manuel Santos of Colombia. He worked very hard for a peaceful end to a 50-year-long war in his country. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
