Science, why don't the woodpecker have a headache?
The coffin is one of the most important activities of the woodpecker. The number of coffins can reach 12,000 times a day, the frequency reaches 20 times per second, and the deceleration force of each impact reaches 1200 times the gravity, which is equivalent to 25 kilometers per hour speed hit the wall. If we humans do as a woodpecker, there is no doubt that it will lead to a series of fatal consequences such as concussion, brain damage, retinal hemorrhage and retinal detachment. How is the woodpecker avoided?
The woodpecker's brain is relatively small, and the surface area of a small object is relatively large. The pressure exerted on it is easy to disperse, so it is not as easy to concussion as the human brain. When the woodpecker is in the coffin, the direction of the tap is very vertical, which can avoid the tearing of the meninges and concussion caused by the torsion caused by the shaking.
Woodpeckers have also evolved a series of devices that protect the brain and the eye from impact. Its skull is very thick, but there are many small gaps in the bones, a bit like a sponge that can reduce vibration. There is a membrane on the surface of the brain called the pia mater. The head of the woodpecker has evolved a series of special structures to prevent vibration damage. There is also a membrane called arachnoid on the outside of it, and a cavity between the two membranes is called the subarachnoid space. The human subarachnoid space is filled with cerebrospinal fluid. However, the subarachnoid space of the woodpecker is very narrow and has almost no cerebrospinal fluid, thus weakening the liquid transmission of the shock wave.
The most amazing thing is the tongue of the woodpecker. Its tongue is extremely long, born from the back of the upper jaw, passes through the right nostril, splits into two, and then wraps around the upper and lower parts of the skull, through the sides of the neck, under the chin, and synthesizes a tongue in the mouth. This tongue is like a rubber band that can shoot 10 cm from the outside. Obviously, the main purpose of this long tongue is to hook the worm out of the hole, but it can absorb the impact force before the chops contract each time, and it is also a good cushioning device.
The body structure of the woodpecker is the result of long-term evolution under the influence of natural selection. It is instructive to study how it can subtly avoid the physical damage caused by impact, and it is very instructive to improve the protection equipment against human brain damage.

These four styles of flower arrangements are so simple!
We have four styles of flower arrangements, which one is best for your living room? Pick out what you want and see how to make it.
Traditional flower arrangement
If your living room is biased towards traditional European style, such as high-end furniture, silk fabrics, crystal chandeliers, etc., then you may like the elegant traditional flower arrangement.
Traditional flower arrangements must include roses. Of course, it is best to be white, pink or soft yellow.
Materials and tools:
a bouquet of pastel roses
a simple glass or crystal vase
Scepter
Flower tongs
method:
1. The vase is filled with some water. For each rose, the soaked part removes all the thorns and leaves.
2. Circle the roses in a circle, keep the flowers in the middle the highest, and then gradually lower the flowers in a circle.
3. After inserting the flowers, trim the stems and leaves of the flowers and put them in the vase.
Longan
White hyacinth
Gypsophila
"Heaven" leaves (an Australian plant. You can also choose other black linear flowers)
a dark round long cylindrical vase
The long stems, in the form of sculptures, contrasting colors and powerful branches, give the bouquet a three-dimensional sense of upward extension. Dark glass vases are perfect for this style – make sure the height is enough to support your bouquet.
The squid is patchwork and helps each element to highlight its own characteristics. Let the gap between the flower and the flower be small, but not hinder the breathing.
Rustic flower arrangement
If your living room has rustic wood furniture, loose soft fabric sofas, vines, bamboo and other materials, then you will love the rustic style of flower arrangements. This flower arrangement should be natural, a bit random, soft and sweet, with some femininity.
Cream dahlia
Hydrangea
a clay pot
1. Fill the vase with water and put the branches into the bottle.
2. Trim the hydrangea so that their height is close to the mouth of the bottle, but the height of each branch is slightly different.
3. Let the dahlias loosely surround the hydrangea, keeping most of the squid lower but several others standing on top of each other.
Just like the flowers of nature, a rustic flower arrangement should have some changes and unpredictability. Use your intuition when you make this flower arrangement. There should be high and low levels in the shape.
Nordic style flower arrangement
Nordic style uses clean lines, neutral colors (light grey, white and coral, etc.) and warm natural materials such as wood, linen, copper and animal leather. If this sounds like your home, you may prefer this style.
Everything in the Nordic style is about nature, with a low-key elegance and a clear, flowing line. Use plants that reflect light, such as large, smooth leaves, to perfectly match the ubiquitous white elements.
Materials and tools
Small monstera leaves
A chunky vase or container, preferably with some copper or marble decorative elements.
method
1. The vase is filled with some water. Trim the leaves of the monstera into different heights and spread them in a vase.
2. Place the starry sky in the middle of the bouquet and keep it above the lower leaves.
The Nordic style is minimalist, so this style of flower arrangement should reflect these characteristics. Avoid filling the vase too full, and two or three leaves will suffice.
After reading my article, you will found out that the original flower arrangement was so simple. Have you seen the inspiration?

Such a flower arrangement is simple and elegant, and can also be made into a loose heart shape. An ordinary glass container or crystal vase is best for this style.
Modern flower arrangement
Do you advocate "less is more"? If your living room is black and white, with a rough line and bare walls, modern flower arrangements should be more suitable for you. Modern flower arrangements take advantage of height and space to magnify these features and create such a style through the use of long stems and unique flowers.
White hyacinth
Gypsophila
"Heaven" leaves (an Australian plant. You can also choose other black linear flowers)
a dark round long cylindrical vase

How to raise a hamster to get close to you？
The hamster is very mini and cute, a very strong solitary animal and a popular pet. There are many varieties of hamsters, such as the golden bear, the third-line hamster, the first-line hamster, etc. So how do you raise the hamster to get close to you? Let's take a look.
How to raise a hamster to get close to you
1.Take a piece of unwanted clothes that you pass through, cut it and make it a mat. It has your taste on the clothes. After it sleeps more, it will be familiar with your taste, so that it won’t feel unfamiliar it when you get close to it.
2. In the time when it is still not close to you, feed it and try not to put it in the food trough. You can feed it by hand, so that when it feeds more, it will stand up and eat after it see you. At the same time, you can also give it a name, call its name every time you feed it, a few more times later, and it will come over as soon as you call it.
3. Try not to disturb it during the day when it rests, or else it smells your smell and knows that you wake it up and will be resentful in the future.
4. Try to take half an hour every night to play with it, you can take it in your hand, play more, it is no stranger.
Hamster daily feeding knowledge
Breeding environment
The most suitable temperature is 20-28 °C, avoid direct sunlight or direct wind blowing, but pay attention to ventilation. Don't be too close to TV, stereo, computer, hamsters can hear the sound that humans can't hear, avoid radiation and noisy.
Summer: It is best not to turn on the air conditioner, because the temperature difference between the air conditioner is too high, the hamster is very sensitive to temperature and easy to catch a cold.
Winter: Putting an outdoor hamster will be a hibernation because it is too cold. Padded wood and other mats, hamsters are equipped with wooden or grass cottages for warmth. Or give some cotton to let the hamsters make their own nests, cotton wool can be used, it is best to use natural cotton. The easiest way is to put the entire cage in the carton, but pay attention to ventilation. Don't give them a cotton woven item. Although warm, the hamster will bite the cotton fabric and sleep inside, so some unbroken cotton will easily cause the hamster to suffocate.
Hamster food
Vegetables, carrots, spinach, cucumber, cabbage, papaya (green and yellow vegetables are preferred)
Seeds Sunflower seeds, peanuts, walnuts, pine nuts
Fruits, apples, strawberries, cherries, etc.
Cereal feed for chickens, feed for small birds, wheat, corn, millet
Plants, dandelion, genus, plantain
Animal protein, Beef, chicken, poached egg white, cheese, milk, yogurt, bread worm, barley worm
Basic supplies
Cage: Use a ventilated wire cage or a half-iron and semi-gel cage in summer, such as a wild cage. Keep warm in winter, and the full-glued cage is more suitable for winter. Do not use barbed wire on the cage chassis. Hamsters are prone to fractures and injuries.
Food bowl: The general small container can be used, as long as it is not easy to knock over, and the edge is not too high, otherwise the hamster can't climb in. Commonly used containers: glass ashtrays, soy sauce dishes, all kinds of small bowls, microwave oven boxes, small crisper.
Drinking fountain: The general design front of the drinking fountain has stainless steel beads. Pay attention to test whether it leaks when purchasing. You can't use the bowl to hold water directly, because the hamster will get wet when drinking water, and it is easy to get cold and get sick.
Toilet: The general plastic box with cat litter is a relatively simple toilet. Take out the agglomerated cat litter every day or replace it all, which is in accordance with personal hygiene. Some hamsters will use it and are not required.
Bathroom: Some hamsters will bathe with cat litter in the toilet. Although it is unsanitary, it is a hamster's preference, so there is no need for a shower room, but for a clean hamster, the owner should buy a bathroom for it. The bath sand allows the hamster to roll over.
Running wheel: Wild hamsters have to run 20 kilometers a day, so exercise is very important for hamsters. Without sufficient exercise, hamsters will be overstressed and betrayed. At the same time, hamsters are prone to overnutrition and obesity. Therefore, the careful owner should give the hamster a running wheel. Pay attention when purchasing. You should choose a seamless running wheel, and the hamster will not be easily injured.
Sawdust: A lot of materials are available, and most people use wood chips because it is clean and easy to buy.
Molar items: The hamster's teeth will grow constantly, so you need to use a molar stick to wear off the long teeth. Many hamsters grind their teeth in other ways, such as biting cages. Don't worry too much when not using the calculus/molar bar you provided.
Cabin: The cabin is ceramic, wooden, grassy, plastic, and the hamster likes it. Because the hamster is an animal that loves to make a hole, if you have the condition, you should give the hamster a cabin and you can make it yourself.
