...sperm whales are mammals and rely on oxygen from the surface to survive. Consequently, scientists find it hard to fathom how sperm whales can dive to depth of 4,000 feet, search out and devour giant squid in the complete darkness and return to the surface in time to breathe again...
This is show business at its most elemental. The annual Independent Feature Film Market, which took place last month at a Manhattan multiplex, typically features some 200 feature-length movies (many not yet even finished) competing for investors, distributors, exposure, oxygen, life. With an atmosphere of equal parts hubris and desperation, it is a cross between a trade show, a film festival and a bazaar, and a far cry from what most people envision when they think of independent film: Matt Damon smoking cigars at a Miramax Oscar party. Since I had long been curious about the unsung breadth...
...forests of the Dominican Republic, at a site known as La Aleta, a U.S.-Dominican team has made what may be an even more important discovery: a 240-ft.-deep Taino cenote, or ceremonial well, where hundreds of objects thrown in as offerings have been preserved in the oxygen-poor water. Preliminary explorations of the surrounding forest suggest that the well was just one component of a ceremonial center that covered at least 10 acres...
...flickering neon sign, illuminating and concealing the body of a female lover at regular intervals. The music never changes, and Harvey just watches, confessing that "she tears my heart out, every time." In the last verse, her voice lilts to a high, thin whisper as though all oxygen had run out of the room; the counterpoint to the neon drone bewitches, and Harvey, ever economical, stops the track early before the moment could be lost...
Technicians drain the afterbirth of its blood and process the material to concentrate the stem cells. Theoretically, stem cells can rebuild the body's bloodmaking machinery so that it produces the full array of effective blood cells the body needs to defend itself against germs, close wounds and transport oxygen. Scientists speculate that cord stem cells are more adaptable and will transplant more successfully, even in patients with imperfect biological matches, than stem cells harvested from adult bone-marrow donors...
