18、their patterns, and the beauty of nature. “I use all the pebbles in their original form shaped only by nature itself.” says Szilajka. When Szilajka is creating her art, she lets her feelings shape the details. “This way the completed picture becomes dynamic (动态的) in spite of the fact that the pebble

19、s themselves play a static role in the work of art,” explains the artist. “Its like a photo taken in the perfect time. It includes the movement, the feeling, the story which can be continued. This way there are not only pebbles in the pictures but invisible fingerprints and soul-prints as well.”When

20、 creating her art, Szilajka often relies on her customers ideas but uses her artistic freedom as well. “If I only listen to myself, I do think that the most essential elements in life stand on the simplest things,” says the artist. “For me, art is adding that little something extra to simple subject

21、 matters.”The artist believes that the completed work of art is not only her own but a common creation of the artist and the receiver. “These two things together is pebble art,” explains Szilajka. “It only becomes a real work of art if it really means something to the receivers as they have the oppo

Because of memory loss and behavioral changes, people with Alzheimers may slowly become unable to take care of themselves, eventually requiring constant care from family members or caregivers.There is no cure

26、for Alzheimers at the moment-drugs can only treat its symptoms.But technology can improve the lives of those living with the condition by making it easier for them to go about their daily activities. For example, tracking devices placed in watches or jewelry can monitor where a person is. Automated

27、reminders can also be stored in motion sensors and placed around the house. When a sensor detects movement, it can play a recorded voice message to remind the person to lock the door or turn off the stove.Alzheimers disease is a huge challenge, but we may be getting close to finding a solution. In t

28、he future, it might be possible to treat Alzheimers without using drugs. A team of researchers in Australia has created a form of technology that can send sound waves into the brain.
