你可能會覺得被獅子的吼叫聲叫醒很嚇人。你通常不會想和一隻棕熊分享一個生活空間。然而,在澳洲坎培拉的賈馬拉野生動物旅館,房客有機會這麼做。這間旅館一部分是旅店、一部分是動物園,它是大自然愛好者成真的美夢。這棟綜合建築裡有十八間客房,每間客房都設在動物園內。

Irregular sleeping patterns have been "unequivocally" shown to lead to cancer in tests on mice, a study suggests. The report, in Current Biology, lends weight to concerns about the damaging impact of shift work on health.

研究顯示,不規律的睡眠模式,在老鼠實驗中,「明確」顯示會導致癌症。刊登在「當代生物學」的這篇報告,讓人更擔心輪班工作對健康的有害影響

The researchers said women with a family risk of breast cancer should never work shifts, but cautioned that further tests in people were needed.

研究人員說,有家族乳癌風險的女性,應該永遠不要做輪班工作,但他們也警告,必須以人類進行進一步測試。

Mice prone to developing breast cancer had their body clock delayed by 12 hours every week for a year. Normally they had tumours after 50 weeks - but with regular disruption to their sleeping patterns, the tumours appeared eight weeks earlier.

老鼠的生理時鐘若在1年內每週延後12小時,較易罹患乳癌。通常牠們會在50週後出現腫瘤,但睡眠模式定期受到干擾,腫瘤會提早8週出現。

DJs at silent discos play loud music, but the songs are played through radio transmitters. These radio signals are then picked up by wireless headphones. One of the cool things about silent discos is that two or more DJs can be playing right next to each other and listeners can switch from channel to channel to find the music they like. This would be impossible with speakers because the different songs would come together in an unpleasant way.

無聲派對上的DJ把音樂放得很大聲,但歌曲卻是透過無線電發送器來播放出來。接著無線耳機會接收這些無線電訊號。無聲派對上最酷的一點就是兩個或兩個以上的DJ可以在彼此身旁播放音樂,而且聽的人也可以轉換一個又一個的頻道來找到他們喜歡的音樂。如果是用音響來播放的話根本就是不可能的,因為同時播放不同的音樂並不悅耳。

“The surest defense against Evil is extreme individualism, originality of thinking, whimsicality, even – if you will – eccentricity. That is, something that can’t be feigned, faked, imitated; something even a seasoned imposter couldn’t be happy with.”

– Joseph Brodsky, Poet

 

「對抗邪惡的最可靠防禦,是極端的個人主義、原創性思考、古怪,甚至可以說是反常。那是無法偽造、假裝及模仿的,即便經驗老到的冒充者也無法辦到。」約瑟夫·布羅茨基 (詩人)
