紐約水牛城的一座博物館最近發現，它的收藏品中有一顆罕見的象鳥蛋，數十年來一直被誤認為模型。水牛城科學博物館的一名收藏品經理，之前更新電子系統目錄時，在超過1000顆蛋類收藏品中，發現這顆「真正的」淡黃色的蛋。這顆局部化石化的蛋，圓周約28英寸，重達3磅多。該名博物館員將蛋拿到美國紐約州立大學水牛城分校的藝術修護學系，接受放射線攝影，那是一種透過X射線檢視物品內部的技術。這項檢驗不僅證實他們的猜測，還照出了顯示這顆蛋已經受精的「白點」。博物館紀錄顯示，一名前館員1939年從倫敦一名動物標本製作者手中，以92美元購得這顆象鳥蛋。該名標本師在（非洲東南方海岸外、印度洋上的）馬達加斯加島買下這顆蛋，那座島是這種鳥類的原產地。這種不會飛的鳥類能長到10英尺高，重量介於770磅至1100磅之間，所產的蛋是脊椎動物中最大的，甚至比恐龍蛋還大。牠已在600多年前滅絕。

A museum in Buffalo, N.Y., recently discovered that a rare elephant bird egg in its collection had been mislabeled as a model for decades.A collections manager at the Buffalo Museum of Science was updating its catalog to a digital system when she discovered the "realistic" cream-colored egg among its collection of more than 1,000 eggs. The partially fossilized egg measured 28 inches around and weighed more than 3 pounds.The curators took the egg to the Art Conservation Department at the State University of New York at Buffalo for a radiography — a technique that uses X-rays to see inside an object. The test not only confirmed their suspicions, but it also showed "specs of white" that indicated it could have been fertilized.Museum records showed a previous curator had acquired the elephant bird egg in 1939 from a London taxidermist for $92. The taxidermist had bought the egg on the island of Madagascar — located off the southeast coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean — the birds’ native habitat.The flightless bird grew to be 10 feet tall, weighed between 770 and 1,100 pounds and laid the largest eggs of any vertebrate — even dinosaurs. It went extinct more than 600 years ago.

查克．麥卡錫的散步服務以每小時30美元的價格，提供新鮮空氣、運動與同伴情誼—不過在樹旁撒尿可絕對不行。這位洛杉磯企業家作為該市第一個遛人公司的創辦人，是與人類配合工作，而非動物，並捍衛健康與社會包容。「我考慮成為一名遛狗師。但我未曾在這座城市養過狗。」麥卡錫說。「我也看到許多私人教練的廣告。因此我對女友說『或許我就成為遛人師』。」麥卡錫在說笑，但當他越加思考，就越了解有對他能提供的那種同伴之誼的需求。「遛人師」2年前以1人運作方式開始營運。但需求之高，致使麥卡錫現在值勤表上有35名陪走者，人們可在網站上選擇路線與步行夥伴。不是因為人們的朋友變少，專家說，而是「零工經濟」已產生一個自由工作者世代，相關工作沒有傳統上聯繫工作者的例行公事或社會連結。

Chuck McCarthy’s walking service provides fresh air, exercise and companionship for $30 an hour － but peeing on trees is an absolute no-no. The Los Angeles-based entrepreneur works with humans, not animals, and is striking a blow for health and social inclusion as the founder of the city’s first people-walking business. "I was thinking about becoming a dog walker. But I’ve never had a dog in the city," McCarthy said. "I was also seeing a lot of personal trainer ads. And so I said to my girlfriend, ’Maybe I’ll just become a people walker.’" McCarthy was joking but the more he thought about it, the more he realized there was a need for the kind of comradeship he could provide. The People Walker started as a one-man operation two years ago. But demand was so high that McCarthy now has a roster of 35 walkers, and a website where people can choose routes and walking partners. It’s not that people have fewer friends, say experts, but rather that the "gig economy" has produced a generation of freelancers with none of the routines or social bonds that traditionally connected workers.

Chuck. McCarthy's walking service offers fresh air, exercise and companionship for $30 an hour – but peeing at the side of the tree is definitely not enough. The Los Angeles entrepreneur, who was the founder of the city's first deaf company, worked with humans instead of animals and defended health and social inclusion. "I considered becoming a dog trainer. But I haven't raised a dog in this city yet," McCarthy said. "I also saw advertisements for many personal trainers. So I said to my girlfriend, "Perhaps I became a deaf teacher." McCarthy was joking, but as he thought more, the more he knew about the kind of companion he could provide. The needs of friendship. The "deaf teacher" started operations with a one-person operation two years ago. However, the demand is high, resulting in McCarthy now has 35 patrons on the watch.

Not because people's friends have become smaller, experts say, but the "jobless economy" has produced a generation of free workers, and related work does not have the routine or social connections traditionally linked to workers.

A Chilean man who suffered clerical sexual abuse has said Pope Francis told him that God had made him gay and loved him that way, according to the Spanish newspaper El Pais.Abuse victim Juan Carlos Cruz told El Pais that Pope Francis had told in a private conversation: "The fact that you are gay does not matter. God made you this way and loves you this way, and it doesn’t matter to me. The pope loves you this way, you must be happy the way you are."Cruz, a survivor of sexual abuse, spent three days with Pope Francis at the Vatican in April, in which he discussed his sexuality and the abuse he suffered at the hands of a Chilean priest. The man was found guilty of abuse by the Vatican in 2011.

地球的大氣中，無時無刻都含有約13兆公升的水蒸氣，相當於地表上所有淡水資源的10%。一款新開發的吸附劑近來顯示，即便相對濕度降至約10%，它也能從大氣中收穫水汽。在這種條件下，每100萬公升的空氣可產出約3公升的水。這款概念驗證裝置由美國麻省理工學院、加州大學柏克萊分校的協同團隊研發，使用柏克萊化學系教授奧馬．亞吉在1990年代發明的一種「金屬有機骨架（MOF）」材料。化學家利用金屬和有機分子，控制能與「金屬有機骨架」結合的氣體種類及其鍵結強度。該裝置本身可簡單分為兩個主要部分：吸收層（又稱MOF）和作為空氣冷凝器的封套。MOF的背面會塗成黑色，用來吸收太陽能。

Earth’s atmosphere contains an estimated 13 trillion liters of water vapor at any given time － that’s the equivalent to 10 percent of all of the planet’s available surface freshwater. A newly developed sorbent has recently shown that it can harvest atmospheric moisture even when the relative humidity drops to around 10 percent. Under those conditions, that works out to around three liters of water for every million liters of air. Created by a collaborative team from MIT and UC Berkeley, this proof of concept device uses a metal-organic framework （MOFs）, a material invented in the 1990s by UC Berkeley chemistry professor Omar Yaghi. Depending on the metal and organic molecules used, chemists can control what gases will bind to the MOF and how strong those connections will be.The device itself is a simple design with two main parts：the absorption layer （aka the MOF） and an enclosed, an air-cooled condenser. The backside of the MOF is painted black, to operate as a solar absorber.

The Earth’s atmosphere contains about 13 trillion liters of water vapor at all times, which is equivalent to 10% of all freshwater resources on the surface. A newly developed sorbent has recently shown that even if relative humidity drops to about 10%, it can also harvest moisture from the atmosphere. Under this condition, about 3 liters of water can be produced per one million liters of air. This proof-of-concept device was developed by a collaborative team of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of California, Berkeley, using the Berkeley chemistry professor Omar. Yagi invented a metal-organic framework (MOF) material in the 1990s. Chemists use metals and organic molecules to control the types of gases that can bind to "metal organic frameworks" and their bonding strength. The device itself can be simply divided into two main parts: the absorber layer (also known as MOF) and the envelope as an air condenser. The back of the MOF will be painted black to absorb solar energy.

在多數西方國家，勞工在健身房度過午休時間，似乎司空見慣，但在瑞典，有些雇主延伸思考，讓運動成為工作上的義務。每週五，瑞典運動服飾零售商「比約恩．柏格」的員工，都會離開斯德哥爾摩公司總部的辦公室，到附近一間健身房進行每週運動。沒有人可以例外，因為這間由瑞典網球傳奇人物比約恩．柏格創立的公司，2年多來貫徹體態宛如摔角選手的44歲執行長漢瑞克．邦吉的倡議，強制要求員工在工作時間運動。「如果你不想運動，或不願融入企業文化，你就必須離開。」邦吉眼睛眨也不眨地說。他還提到，迄今沒有任何人因為這項要求而辭職。這項政策的主要目標，是希望在提高生產力和利潤之外，也能增進同事間的情誼。

Workers spending their lunch break at the gym may be commonplace in most Western countries, but in Sweden some employers are pushing the idea even further, making on-the-job exercise compulsory.Every Friday, employees of fashion and sportswear retailer Bjorn Borg leave their desks at the company’s Stockholm headquarters to get their weekly workout at a nearby gym.There is no getting out of it：for more than two years the company founded by the Swedish tennis legend has made on-the-job exercise mandatory at the initiative of chief executive Henrik Bunge, a 44-year-old built like a wrestler."If you don’t want to exercise or be a part of the company culture, you have to go," says Bunge, without batting an eye. So far no one has quit because of the requirement, he adds.The main aims of the policy are to boost productivity and profitability while fostering camaraderie in the work force.

In most Western countries, it seems common for workers to spend lunch breaks in the gym, but in Sweden, some employers have extended their thinking to make the sport an obligation to work. Every Friday, employees of the Swedish sportswear retailer "Bjorn Berger" leave the office of the Stockholm company headquarters and go to a nearby gym for weekly exercise. No one can make exceptions because this is hosted by the Swedish tennis legend Bjorn. Berger founded the company and has been performing as a wrestler as the 44-year-old CEO Hankler in more than two years. Bunge's initiative forced employees to exercise during work hours. "If you don't want to exercise or you don't want to integrate into corporate culture, you have to leave." Bunge said with no embarrassment. He also mentioned that so far no one has resigned because of this request. The main goal of this policy is to increase the friendship between colleagues in addition to increasing productivity and profits.

日本一家鐵路公司為火車提早25秒離開車站，造成乘客的「任何不便」表達歉意，此為近幾個月來第二起這類事件。該班火車原訂上午7時12分駛離日本滋賀縣能登川車站。列車長以為火車應於上午7時11分離開，因此他提早關閉車門。當時他雖發現錯誤，但因為看到月台上沒有人，便決定啟程。提早開車並未影響任何乘客的旅遊行程，但仍有乘客希望搭上車。他們向鐵路營運商「西日本旅客鐵道株式會社」抱怨，不久便有官方道歉聲明發出。日本火車以極度準時享有盛名。去年秋天也有一起類似事件，當時一輛東京駛往東部城市筑波的火車提前20秒出發，導致營運商「筑波特快」發布公開聲明道歉。

The train conductor thought the train was meant to leave at 7.11am, so he closed the doors a little early. He realized his mistake but as he couldn’t see anyone on the platform and decided to take off.The early departure didn’t affect any other travel schedules that day, but there were still people hoping to get onboard. They complained to the rail operator JR West and an official apology was issued shortly afterwards.Japanese trains have a reputation for extreme punctuality. It comes after a similar incident in autumn last year, when a train from Tokyo to the eastern city of Tsukuba departed 20 seconds early, prompting the operator of the Tsukuba Express to issue a public apology.

A Japanese railway company left the station 25 seconds earlier to cause the train to apologize for "any inconvenience". This is the second such incident in recent months. The train originally set off at Notogawa Station in Shiga Prefecture, Japan at 7:12 a.m. The conductor thought that the train should be separated at 7:11 a.m., so he closed the door early. At that time, although he found a mistake, he decided to leave because he saw no one on the platform. Early driving did not affect the travel itinerary of any passengers, but there are still passengers wishing to catch a car. They complained to the railway operator "West Japan Railway Co., Ltd." that soon an official apology statement was issued. The Japanese train enjoys a reputation for being extremely punctual. A similar incident took place last fall, when a Tokyo-bound train to the eastern city of Tsukuba set off 20 seconds earlier, causing the operator, Tsukuba Express, to issue a public statement apologizing.

敘利亞學生諾爾若有所思地看著自己空無一物的無名指，接著掃視大馬士革大學裡的同班同學。在女人堆中，遍尋不著一名合適的單身男子。30歲的諾爾說自己很渴望婚姻，但敘利亞漫長的內戰，讓潛在的追求者不是移民、從軍，就是已一命嗚呼。敘利亞在2011年爆發大規模示威後陷入內戰，當時諾爾即將取得第一個經濟學學位。之後，諾爾選擇在大馬士革大學攻讀第二個文學學位。「我不知道如何打發時間。沒有朋友、沒有情人、也沒有丈夫。」諾爾一邊感嘆，一邊撥開染成金黃色的秀髮。「我很害怕在我出嫁前，頭上就出現華髮。」在保守的敘利亞社會，女性通常被期待20幾歲就結婚，但由於欠缺合適的單身漢，這些規範已有所鬆動。大馬士革心理學教授薩朗．卡瑟姆說：「女性現在就算在32歲結婚，也沒人會說她晚嫁了。」

New research reveals eating bananas every day could help prevent heart attacks and strokes. High in potassium, foods like bananas can stop fatal blockages from occurring and inhibit the hardening and narrowing of arteries. Researchers at the University of Alabama analyzed mice who were at risk of heart disease. The mice were fed either low, normal or high levels of potassium with the results showing that the arteries of mice fed a low-potassium diet became significantly harder. In contrast, the mice given high potassium had less artery hardening.The vital mineral － which spuds, broccoli and sprouts are also rich in － was found to aid blood flow to the heart and brain and reduce the risk of clots. Other foods rich in the mineral include parsnips, seeds, fish and poultry.However, eating too much potassium can cause stomach ache, nausea and diarrhea. Older people may be more at risk because their kidneys may be less able to remove potassium from the blood.
