【分析貓語】相信各位貓奴都很想知道貓貓每天到底在說甚麼吧！到底牠是迎接你，還是在咒罵你擾貓清夢？搞笑諾貝爾獎於今月9日公布了獲獎名單，其中生物獎由瑞典科學家肖茨（Susanne Schötz）以研究「貓語」奪得！ 搞笑諾貝爾獎（Ig Nobel Prize）由美國雜誌《不大可能的研究年鑑》（Annals of Improbable Research）舉辦，至今已時是第31屆，今屆一共頒發10個獎項，而肖茨就因為分析貓的叫聲及人與貓的溝通方式而獲獎。 研究發現，貓有19種叫聲包括咕嚕聲、啁啾、喋喋不休、顫音、聲音尖細、喃喃、喵喵叫、呻吟、吱吱聲、嘶嘶聲、嚎叫、嚎叫以及咆哮等，並錄下了共780種貓叫聲。 肖茨在錄下牠們叫聲的同時，亦進行了錄影，將貓當下的叫聲及身體動作等進行比較，發現當貓咪在開心滿足時，傾向發出頻率上升的叫聲，而情緒低落或緊張時則會發出下降頻率的叫聲。 資料及圖片來源：綜合媒體報道、Unsplash =================================== 記得Like 毛城城FB 💚【Link in Bio】 ⭐毛城城MEWE: MoCity 毛城城⭐ =================================== ✨想分享溫馨動人毛孩故事，或者得意相片影片？ 歡迎開心Share，DM #毛城城 #MoCityHK！ ===================================

“The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable” — Nassim Nicholas Taleb    “A black swan is a highly improbable event with three principal characteristics: It is unpredictable; it carries a massive impact; and, after the fact, we concoct an explanation that makes it appear less random, and more predictable, than it was. The astonishing success of Google was a black swan; so was 9/11. For Nassim Nicholas Taleb, black swans underlie almost everything about our world, from the rise of religions to events in our own personal lives. Why do we not acknowledge the phenomenon of black swans until after they occur? Part of the answer, according to Taleb, is that humans are hardwired to learn specifics when they should be focused on generalities. We concentrate on things we already know and time and time again fail to take into consideration what we don’t know. We are, therefore, unable to truly estimate opportunities, too vulnerable to the impulse to simplify, narrate, and categorize, and not open enough to rewarding those who can imagine the “impossible.” For years, Taleb has studied how we fool ourselves into thinking we know more than we actually do. We restrict our thinking to the irrelevant and inconsequential, while large events continue to surprise us and shape our world. Now, in this revelatory book, Taleb explains everything we know about what we don’t know. He offers surprisingly simple tricks for dealing with black swans and benefiting from them. Elegant, startling, and universal in its applications The Black Swan will change the way you look at the world. Taleb is a vastly entertaining writer, with wit, irreverence, and unusual stories to tell. He has a polymathic command of subjects ranging from cognitive science to business to probability theory. The Black Swan is a landmark book – itself a black swan."   Available: epub, mobi Edition Language: English Goodreads: 3.94 / 5 (93 110 Ratings) #cafecungTrang #freeEbook #TheBlackSwan
