Few tips on how to study effectively
During their training, medical residents learn countless techniques, surgeries, and procedures which they’ll later use to save lives. Being able to remember these skills can quite literally be a matter of life and death. With this in mind, a 2006 research study took a class of surgical residents who were learning to suture arteries and split the class into two groups. Each received the same study materials, but one group implemented a small change in how they studied them. And when tested one month later, this group performed the surgeries significantly better than the other residents.

Interesting Ocean Facts You Won't Get Anywhere Else
The ocean is deep, much deeper than most of us think. If you were to break all the land on the surface of every continent and island in the world and fill the deep part of the ocean with that land, then the whole world would be covered in two kilometers of sea. However, three-quarters of our planet is already covered in water, and the water extends to a depth of only three kilometers. Let's dive in and see what we find. The first step is 40 meters below the surface, which is the maximum depth allowed for diving. A little lower, at 93 meters, is the wreck of the Lusitania, which is interesting because the Lusitania itself is 240 meters long, which means that it sank in water that is less deep than long. Therefore, if the boat stands on its back or bow, it will come out of the water. It's a little deeper than that, at 100 meters, diving can be very deadly if you're not careful due to decompression sickness. But that didn't stop a man named Herbert Nitsch from setting a world record for getting himself to a depth of 214 meters. This man swam to this level with just one breath. But a little lower, at 332 meters, is the world diving record set by another man named Ahmed Gabr. If he digs another 111 meters, he will reach the height of the Empire State Building if doubled underwater. And a little further, 500 meters below the surface, we come to the deepest depths of the blue whales, the largest creatures on the planet, and at the end of the American Seawolf-class nuclear submarine. At 535 meters we can witness the deepest depths of the emperor penguins. And this is where we need to increase the power of water pressure. At this underground level, the pressure of water on humans or penguins would be like that of a bear standing on a coin. So, further in-depth, at 830 meters, is the height of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the tallest building in the world. Once we reach 1,000 meters below the surface we begin to enter the danger zone. Light from above can no longer reach here, so the rest of the sea below is plunged into perpetual darkness. In addition, the water pressure you will experience at this time will be as if you were on the surface of the planet Venus, which means you will die quickly. You will also find giant squid at this sea level if the water stress hasn't killed you. At 1,280 meters, we reach the highest depth to which leatherback turtles fall. Continuing, at 6,000 meters, we will reach the deepest part of the Grand Canyon if we are underwater. At 2,000 meters above sea level, we begin to encounter some of the most dangerous creatures of the sea, such as the evil Black Dragons, a carnivorous animal with a stomach that does not allow light to pass through. come out of it. This means that since we are in complete darkness underwater right now, the only way to see this thing is with a flashlight. Continuing further, at 2,250 meters, we will reach the maximum depth to which both sperm whales and dangerous squid dive. Sperm whales often have marks and scars on their bodies from their fights with the deadly squid that can occur at these incredible depths. The squid themselves can grow up to 14 meters long and weigh up to 750 kilograms and look like a dinner plate with a razor blade between their tentacles. So, yeah, good luck with that. The lowest, at 3,800 meters, is the wreck of the RMS Titanic. And a little bit, at 4,000 meters, we begin to enter the abyssal area of the sea. The water pressure here reaches an incredible 11,000 pounds per square inch. But there are many strange, almost alien creatures that live in these depths, such as Tooth Fing, Angler Fish, and Viper Fish. And 4,267 meters is the average depth of the sea that one would expect to fall to the ground. But there is a part of the ocean that is deeper than that. At 4,791 meters is the wreckage of the battleship Bismarck, which sank during World War II. At the bottom, at 6,000 meters above sea level, is the beginning of the Hadal region, named after Hades itself. The water pressure at these depths can be 1,100 times greater than you might think, which is equivalent to that of an elephant balancing on a postage stamp, or a single passenger carrying the weight of a Boeing 747 airplane. jumbo 50. In these depths, you will be crushed immediately without any protection. But life still exists on earth in a surprising variety. At 6,500 meters we reached the maximum depth that the DSV Alvin, the famous submarine that helped discover the Titanic, could sink. Being at the bottom, at 8,848 meters below the surface, we reached the height of Mount Everest, if it were to be demolished and put under water. Also, at 10,898 meters, we reached the depth that James Cameron reached in 2012 during the Deep Sea Challenger mission. The deepest part of the ocean that man has reached, however, was in 1960, when two men named Don Walsh and Jacques Piccard reached a depth of 10,916 meters using their [? Trieste?] submarine. It took them five hours to descend the river to this depth. But they only lasted 20 minutes before the window broke and it started to take off. A little further, at 10,972 meters, we reached the average altitude of a commercial airliner. So if you've seen a window during flight and looked down, it gives you a good idea of the depth of the abyss we find ourselves in now. Finally, when we reached 10,994 meters, we reached the famous sea floor, called Challenger Deep, exactly on this map, about 300 kilometers southwest of the island of Guam. However, it is believed that there are almost as many deep parts of the ocean that have not yet been discovered. It was in 1997 that Sirena Deep was discovered with a depth of 10,732 meters, making it the second deepest point in the ocean. It is estimated that only about 5% of the ocean is well preserved, while the remaining 95% is currently a mystery. It may only be a matter of time before we discover the deepest parts of our oceans.

One day, all the crabs vanished without a trace. Despite exhaustive searches across seas, oceans, lakes, rivers, and rainforests, not a single live crab was found. Only discarded shells indicated their prior presence. Crabs naturally shed their shells multiple times throughout their lives, discarding the old to accommodate their growth. But this time, something odd occurred—they all disappeared on the same day, leaving everyone puzzled.
