In the days close to a full moon, people take longer to doze off, sleep less deeply, and sleep for a shorter time, even if the moon isn’t shining in their window, a new study has found.

在即將滿月的數日,人們要花更久的時間才能入睡、更少熟睡,而且睡眠時間更短,即使月光沒有照進窗裡,一份新研究發現。

Anecdotal evidence has long suggested that people’s sleep patterns, moods, and even aggression is linked to moon cycles.

A debate is raging in the film world about the merits of shooting movies on 35mm film versus digital cameras. In one corner are those who believe digital’s practical and economic benefits make it impossible to resist. In the other, "purists" such as directors Quentin Tarantino and Christopher Nolan who cherish the visual "texture" of 35mm and warn that something important is being lost.

電影界正為了用35釐米膠片或數位攝影機拍片的優點,掀起一場激烈辯論。其中一個陣營相信,數位影片更實際和經濟的好處讓人無法抗拒;另一陣營則屬於類似導演塔倫提諾和諾蘭等「純粹派」,他們珍視35釐米影片的視覺「質感」,並警告某件重要事物正在消失中。

Others stress that even movies shot in 35mm are now quickly converted to digital for distribution and that the real clincher is the impact on the studios’ bottom line. Printing just one film on 35mm film and delivering it to the cinema where it will be shown can cost $1,500 alone -- compared to $150 for digital. With a copy needed for each of several thousand cinemas, it is easy to see why digital seems to have won the day.

Issue 1397, Aug 31 - Sep 6
For three of Rob and Paulette Montelone's five kids, spending the summer surfing is more than just a fun activity. It could also extend their lives.

The Montelone siblings are part of a growing number of people with cystic fibrosis who are taking advantage of the health benefits that come with surfing. Since researchers realized that the salt water in the ocean helps clear out the thick mucus that builds up in patients' lungs, organizations have sprung up around the world that teach those with the disease how to "hang 10." "We have found the silver lining to it all and that has been through surfing," Paulette Montelone said on a recent summer day while her five children were out in the water. "It's helping them breathe better ... but it's also helping us, as a family, enjoy something together."
