David and Jessica Burnett were at the Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport about to board a flight with their two small children when they saw their son, Ezekiel, 5, throw his beloved stuffed(填充的) bear high above his head. David Burnett warned his son not to throw Teddy too high. Ezekiel kept playing his catch game and threw Teddy more than 20 feet. This time the bear didn't come down. It was stuck in the rafters(椽子) at the Milwaukee airport, and there wasn't time to ask anyone for help because it was time to board their flight home to Dallas.

The couple did their best to comfort Ezekiel and his concerned sister, Zaria3, on the flight home and were relieved when Ezekiel seemed content to sleep with a favorite stuffed dog that night. "We didn't call the airport because Ezekiel has lost a lot of toys over the years," said Jessica Burnett, 39. "I did feel some mom guilt, so later I bought him a bear online that looked similar to Teddy."

Then on the evening of Feb. 8, Jessica said she spotted a familiar face on Facebook. Somebody at the airport noticed Teddy in the lost lockup area and posted about. him a: couple of times on Facebook, Some of the photos showed him hanging out with a purple monkey named Violet the airport's longest lost stuffed animal. Airport workers regularly post about missing toys and stuffed animals and they had tried unsuccessfully to find Violet's owner for two years. They hoped lo have better luck with Teddy.

The big moment finally happened when the family caught a plane back to Dallas about a year later. When Ezekiel saw his lost bear, he hugged Teddy and told airport workers that he was happy to see him again. "I think they took good care of him. But I'm glad he's home," he said. "I won't be throwing my favorite bear into the air again anytime."

The metaverse(元宇宙) may be headed to a Disney theme park near you. Disney got a a "virtual-world simulator" patent shortly before the new year. The new technology could be used to project(投射) 3D images on real-world objects to create interactive guest experiences throughout its parks without the need for a wearable headset or mobile device.

Disney already uses AR technology for large entertainment at its theme parks such as using projection mapping to bring its characters to life on storefronts, waterfalls, and other real-world structures. But this new technology would be significantly different: it would track each park visitor to personalize the projections they see on nearby objects and walls. For example, a family walking by a storefront could see Mickey Mouse greet them as they pass.

"We are excited about the possibilities related to this type of technology," said a Disney spokesperson, adding that "there are no current plans to introduce this technology, into an upcoming experience." The spokesperson also said that Disney "files hundreds of patents each year as we explore developing technologies."

However, combining the metaverse into its theme parks would certainly be on track with Disney's goal to tell stories to guests through a "3D canvas(画布)." CEO Bob Chapek said, "Our efforts to date are only a prologue(序幕) to a time when we'll be able to connect the physical and digital worlds even more closely, allowing for storytelling without boundaries in our own Disney metaverse."

It's worth noting that Disney has a history of securing patents just to keep competitors from getting them first, which may very well be the case here. "It's possible that they may never use it, but my sense is this is very much something they are going to commercialize," said Ed Khalili, a patent attorney with Founders Legal.

Many people think that leaving a social situation without saying goodbye is rude—and it turns out that apes(类人猿) would agree.

As humans, we typically say we are leaving, shake hands or use other body language to signal when interactions with others are ending. Now Durham University researchers have discovered that apes such as bonobos and chimpanzees have a similar system, using gestures and physical contact to start and finish play or grooming sessions(梳毛时段).

The study observed 1,242 interactions within groups of bonobos and chimpanzees at zoos in the United States, Switzerland and France. In 90 percent of cases, bonobos used an "entry signal" before starting an interaction as well as a form of "exit signal" to end an interaction in 92 percent of cases. Chimpanzees used entry signals in 69 percent of cases and exit signals in 86 percent of cases. The closer the relationship between the animals, the shorter the gestures, researchers found. "When you're interacting with a good friend, you're less likely to put in a lot of effort in communicating politely," researcher Dr Raphaela Heesen said.

The ability to work for common causes was seen as a particularly human characteristic, made easier by our ability to communicate through language, butcollaborationcould also be seen in apes.

While the researchers were already aware that apes used signals to begin interactions, before the study they did not know if they did anything to mark ending and leaving them. Some earlier studies had compared apes with children who had not learnt to talk. When an adult played with a child and then suddenly stopped, the child would protest and want to keep playing. The apes did not appear to protest and so it was assumed that they did not require a signal to end an interaction. Dr Heesen said, however, that she had seen two bonobos interrupted while grooming each other. They then gestured to signal that they wanted to continue the grooming.

The study suggested the idea of "joint commitment" to shared attempts might have developed from our ape ancestors. The behavior among bonobos, in particular, has "some similarities to what, in humans, is considered 'social etiquette(社交礼仪)'."
