A few days ago, my husband, Russ, and I lost our hou of 28 years to a California wild fire.
脸部去角质On that night, we had to leave our hou and sleep in the back at of our Ford. The next morning,
we had to drive three and a half hours to find a hotel that had an available room. Only later, in the local newspaper, did we e photographs of the destruction. Our hou had been consumed by the fire along with most of our neighborhood.
How are we going to rebuild after this? I thought, rounding a corner in the sidewalk on my walk back to the hotel. Is it even possible?
I noticed something up ahead—a pair of nickels, shining like precious jewels. They were just nickels, but they somehow felt special. I bent down and picked them up. If the were lucky coins, I could u all the luck I could get.
A few days later, I made a trip to the store to buy esntials. The enormous task of replacing everything we'd lost put a heavy weight on me. I was about to leave when I felt the urge to stop and turn my head to the right. I could hardly believe it—there on a shelf, was a nickel! Okay, maybe this is more than luck, I thought and put the nickel in my pocket.
I told mylf that I had found the nickels just by chance. Then I found one next to my plate at a restaurant—on Thanksgiving, no less, when I was missing our hou more than ever. It emed that a nickel appeared whenever my spirits plummeted.
Whenever I reached my breaking point, I'd find another nickel. In the grass at the park, or near the tire of my car in a parking lot. Once, my change for a quick lunch was given entirely in nickels."I'm sorry, "the cashier said."It's all we have."
It's all I needed!
One day, I was sitting at the desk when my phone rang. It was a real-estate agent I'd been working with. "I have a new listing," she said.

A few hours later, Russ and I were following the agent down the driveway toward the hou.
I didn't think long. Becau there, in the driveway, …

Of the more than 3, 000 species of mosquitoes in the world, just a small number specialize in sucking human blood. How mosquitoes track us down so effectively isn't currently known, but it matters, since they carry dangerous dias which may cau death.
"In fact, stopping the annoying incts in their tracks could save up to half a million lives lost to tho dia each year," said Carolyn Gauff, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at the
Princeton Neuroscience Institute. That's why Gauff's team wants to understand how they find and target humans.
Mosquitoes mostly choo what to bite bad on odor (气味). Knowing how a potentially
dia-carrying mosquito finds a person, while ignoring other warm-blooded animals, is a key question. But it's not easy to answer, since any animal smell is made up of hundreds of chemicals mixed together in specific percentage."The actual chemicals that are found in human odor are basically the same as the chemicals found in animal odor—it's the percentages and the relative large amount of tho substances in human mixtures that's unique," said Gauff.
To investigate, rearchers decided to record neural activity in the brain of mosquitoes while exposing them to natural human and animal odor samples. They collected odor samples from about 40 different animals. When they compared some of tho with the 16 human samples, something jumped out. Decanal is particularly rich in human skin. Common in the natural world, in humans, decanal comes from another, more complex substance. When one component of our skin's natural oils, sapienic acid, breaks down, decanal is left over. This acid is only found in human beings. It's what likely leads to the high levels of decanal that help the mosquitoes smell their way to us.
Understanding what the mosquitoes are targeting is only part of the story; knowing how they do it is also important. To e exactly how mosquitoes u this n, scientists ud genetically modified (转基因的）mosquitoes so that they could cut open mosquitoes' heads and watch neurons firing when they're expod to human and animalodors. The rearch team already knew that mosquitoes have about 60 different types of neurons that n odors, so when they looked in the incts' brains, they thought they might e a lot of activity. But it was surprisingly quiet, meaning that the signal was perhaps quite simple, down to just a
