11、ime under water is like visiting an alien planet full of strange creatures.Dylan grew up in Maple Valley Washington, just outside of the liberal blue bubble of Seattle. Dylan learned young how to hunt and do farm work. On October 31, 2020, he decided to marry his love of scuba diving with his desire

12、 to be self-sufficient and harvest his own food. That gray morning, the goal was to pull a giant pacific octopus from its den, wrestle it to the surface and take it home for dinner.He and a friend headed to the popular dive site at Cove 2 in West Seattle. With his bare hands, Dylancaught an 80-pound

13、 cephalopod (头足类动物). “The key is to stay calm.

Dylan and his dive partner threw the octopus in the bac

14、k of their truck and quickly left the scene.Even though what Dylan did was perfectly legal and even though octopus is on restaurant menus all over the Northwest, the taking of this particular octopus touched a nerve. Adult members of the diving community that Dylan was so excited to be a part of not

18、various types of music while they paint, write, or draw. Many believe that music helps boost creativity, but an international study conducted by English and Swedish researchers is challenging that belief. Their findings indicate music actually stymies creativity.To come to their conclusions, researc

19、hers had participants complete verbal insight problems designed to inspire creativity while sitting in a quiet room, and then again while music played in the background. They found that background music “significantly damaged” the participants ability to complete tasks associated with verbal creativ

20、ity. The research team also tested background noises such as those commonly heard in a library, but found that such noises had no impact on subjects creativity. The tasks were simple word games. For example, participants were given three words, such as dress, dial, and flower. Then, they were asked

21、to find a single word associated with all three that could be combined to form a common phrase or word. The single word, in this case, would be “sun” (sundress, sunflower, etc). Participants completed the tasks in either a quiet room, or while exposed to three different types of music; music with un

22、familiar lyrics, instrumental music, or music with familiar lyrics.“We found strong evidence of damaged performance when playing background music in comparison to quiet background conditions,” says co-author Dr. Neil McLatchie of Lancaster University.Dr. McLatchie and his colleagues theorize that mu

Also, as far as the library background noises having seemingly no effect, the studys authors believe that was the case because library noises create a “steady state” environment that doesnt disrupt concentrati

24、on. Its worth mentioning that even familiar music with wellknown lyrics damaged participants creativity, regardless of whether or not it caused a positive reaction, or whether participants typically studied or created while listening to music.“To conclude, the findings here challenge the popular vie

25、w that music strengthens creativity, and instead demonstrate that music, regardless of the presence of semantic (语义的) content (no lyrics, familiar lyrics or unfamiliar lyrics), consistently disrupts creative performance in insight problem solving,” the study reads.24.

Library background noises hardly affected participants creativity.CHeart disease is one of the major killers in the world today. Many who suffer from it must have heart transplants. However, its difficult to get a suitable hea

29、rt donation, and even if a patient survives the wait, his or her body often rejects the heart.But there is now new hope for sufferers of heart disease. According to a study published in the journal Advanced Science, researchers from Israels Tel Aviv University printed a 3D human heart on April 15.“T

30、his is the first time anyone anywhere has successfully engineered and printed an entire heart,” professor Tal Dvir told CNN. Unlike the previous 3D-printed heart structure, the new heart is complete with cells, blood vessels, chambers and other structures a heart needs to function normally. But scie

31、ntists still have more to figure out before the 3D-printed heart can be fitted into the body. For one thing, the experimental heart is only the size of a thumb. And, although it can contract like a muscle, it cannot pump out blood like a real one. At present, the heart prototype is like a tiny airpl

32、ane that has all of the right parts, but cant fly.However, the development is still regarded as a major breakthrough in medicine.In the experiment, the researchers turned human fat tissue into human heart tissue with stem cell technology. The tissue was then turned into “bio-ink” for a 3D printer to ensure that tissue in the heart came from the patients themselves. So ideally, if it were to be placed in the body of someone in need of a transpl
