According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, one third of the world's fisheries are being pushed beyond (they) natural limits. Overfishing goes hand in hand with bycatch (副渔获物). Bycatch is that unwanted sea life (catch) along with the desired catch and then thrown away. Asresult, billions of fish along with seabirds, sea turtles and millions of sharks are lost. Bycatch is (probable) the most important threat to sea turtles now.
The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) (海洋管理委员会) has been working with scientists, fisheries and seafood(producer) for more than 20 years. They (develop) standards for sustainable fishing 20 years ago. Around 15 percent of wild-capture fisheries are now MSC certified. And Fishery Improvement Projects (FIPS) in many countries are working (increase) that percentage.
What can you do? Look for MSC's bluefish label, appears on over 30, 000 products and menus in almost 100 countries. Buying a product with this label means you're supporting a fishery that is contributing to a (healthy) ocean than before. And that will help protect both the oceanthe fish for years to come.
It me whether I should go on Friday or Saturday.
Physics is a different world now. Will there ever be another Einstein?
Scientists say a new Einstein will appear, but it may take a long time. After all, more than 200 years separated Einstein from his nearest rival (对手) , Isaac Newton. Many physicists say the next Einstein hasn't been born yet, or is only a baby now. That's because the searching for a unified(统一的) theory that would explain all the forces of nature has pushed current mathematics to its limits. New math must be created before the problem can be solved.
But researchers say there are many other factors working against another Einstein appearing anytime soon. For one thing, physics is quite a different field today. In Einstein's day, there were a few thousand physicists worldwide, and fewer theoreticians. Education is different, too. One extremely important aspect of Einstein's training that failed to be considered is the philosophy he read as a teenager. It taught him how to think theoretically about space and time.
And he was a skilled musician. The interplay between music and math is well known. Einstein would fiercely play his violin as a way to think through a knotty physics problem.
Today, universities have produced millions of physicists. There aren't many jobs in science for them, so they go to Wall Street and Silicon Valley to apply their analytical skills to more practical and rewarding efforts.
Besides, those who stay in science don't work alone. It's very difficult to imagine an independent person like Einstein ever tolerating this.
When he was 22, Rob Stewart traveled the world for four years. He wanted to call attention to the mistreatment of sharks. His 2007 film, Shark water, documents the cruel practice of removing sharks' fins(鳍) for money and leaving the animals to die. In his latest documentary, Revolution, Stewart takes on an even bigger challenge: climate change.
The Canadian filmmaker says that climate change has harmed people and places everywhere:" It is stronger than any government or organization. If we educate people, they will make better decisions about protecting natural resources. "
According to a recent report on climate change," The atmosphere and ocean have warmed, the amounts of snow and ice have reduced, and sea levels have risen". These developments are endangering crops, wildlife, fish, and even people. Stewart says that the consequences of climate change will be irreversible unless people take action, especially young people. " It's up to kids to be the moral compass (道德指南) of society, " he believes, and says, "Guys, this is not right. "
Felix Finkbeiner, 17, of Germany is also part of the "revolution" to save the planet. In 2007, Felix started a youth group called Plant - for - the — Planet, whose motto is "Stop Talking. Start Planting." The group raises money to plant trees. So far, Plant — for — the — Planet has planted nearly200 trees around the world. " Future generations are the ones who will be suffering the most from inaction(无作为)," Felix says. His goal is to plant millions of additional trees.
"When we started four years ago, "Felix tells Stewart in Revolution, "we thought we had to save the polar bear. We thought we had to save the environment. But soon after, we found out that it's about our future, that we have to save our own future."
Here are some of the smartest animals in the world.
Pigs
Pigs are actually very smart animals. Pigs are one of the cleanest if they are given a choice. If you provide them with enough space, they will make sure they separate their dining area from their living space. Studies have also shown that they can actually be good at video games. To get food, they will follow other pigs and then steal it from right under their noses. The victimized(受害的)pigs will then come out wiser from this. They will change their behavior next time to prevent other pigs from stealing from them.
Crows
They are smart and creative, with the highest IQ among all birds. Crows have been known to throw nuts and shells on a road so that cars will drive over and open them. They also have the ability to make knives to cut leaves and grass.
Elephants
They have extremely large brains, even bigger than humans'. They bury(埋葬)their dead families and friends properly, the only other animal to do this besides humans. They also know which leaves are medicinal and will eat specific plants depending on the sickness they are feeling. They also have the ability to recognize themselves in the mirror.
Bottlenose Dolphins
They actually have the ability to watch television on the their own because of their ability to process acoustic and visual(视觉和听觉)information at the same time. They can also recognize themselves in the mirror, which they use to inspect their own bodies. Their comprehension skills are very high. Studies have shown that they even have the ability to choose the “I don't know” option during difficult tests.
Apple and Microsoft each launched new products. One company astonished everyone. The other made people sleepy. Can you guess which was which? You probably guessed wrong. Because Apple, famous for its creative products, was the tech giant whose new product caused a collective shrug. While Microsoft, which stole a move out of the Apple Playbook, won cheers from high-end, creative-class consumers like business analysts, media designers and music producers.
As Hayley Tsukayama remarked at The Washington Post, the Surface Studio, one of Microsoft's new products, is really just a super-sized version of the Surface Books product that Microsoft has been selling for years. But if you've ever watched science fiction movies like Minority Report-- where Tom Cruise seems to operate pictures and data hanging on mid-air by touching them, spreading his fingers to increase on details, and sending files and information sliding from one folder to another with a click of the finger, you can see how Microsoft is trying to show the same experience.
Meanwhile, apple's new products were almost like some fine promotions for its Apple TV. They boast that the new Macbook Pro has a smaller size and more functions, and a new touch screen bar on laptop keyboards where function keys used to be.
So what's going on? In many ways, Apple is focusing on attracting the average consumers who have been attracted by Microsoft. And Microsoft is focusing on targeting the high-end professionals Apple has historically been associated with. You can even see this is the companies' ad campaigns: Microsoft's ads stress imagination and creativity, while Apple's commercial chief performance and convenience of its Macbooks.
So Apple is trying to control the world of devices and laptops from the top down, starting with the high-end market and moving on to appeal to a broader base of consumers. Microsoft, having already strengthened itself within the bigger low-end market, is now attempting the opposite with a bottom-up strategy. Will they succeed? Time will tell...
