The jellyfish in the picture was found in the Celebes Sea near the Philippines. A team of Filipino and US scientists looked nearly 3km underwater in early October to find it.
They also found a swimming sea cucumber, a Nemo-like orange fish and a worm with tentacles sprouting from its head. The scientists think that they might all be new species.
A special machine helped them collect between 50 and 100 possibly undiscovered species of marine life.

The area of the Celebes Sea, called the Coral Triangle, hasn't been explored fully before. The survey was conducted by Woods Hole (a group that studies the ocean), National Geographic and Filipino scientists.
It will take a few more weeks of study of the deep-water sea life samples before they can be declared new species.
The scientists said one of the fish collected, a tiny, orange one with a puckered yellow mouth looked like the main character in the animated Hollywood film Finding Nemo.(staff writer, with afp)
照片中的水母是在菲律賓附近的西?伯斯海發現的。本月初，菲律賓和美國科學家組成的研究小組，在海面下約三公里處發現了牠。
他們也發現會游泳的海參、一隻長得很像小丑魚「尼莫」的橘色小魚，還有頭上長了觸角的蠕蟲。科學家認為牠們有可能是新物種。
他們有一台特別的機器，幫他們撈起了五十至一百種可能尚未發現的海洋生物。
西?伯斯海域，也稱珊瑚三角區，是一個還未完全被人類探測的水域。這次探測活動是由美國的伍茨霍爾海洋學院和美國國家地理學會及菲律賓的科學家一起進行的。
不過他們得花上好幾星期的研究，才能確定這些深海生物是否為新物種。
科學家說，其中有一隻魚體型很小而且有噘起的黃色嘴巴，很像好萊塢動畫電影「海底總動員」裡的那隻主角小丑魚。（法新社／翻譯：楊鴻泰）

The asphalt was warm against his knees. Around him, dozens of people lay flat in the narrow street outside Jenn Lann Temple in Dajia. Some pressed their hands together in prayer.

You might think knitting is only for grandmas, but surprisingly, many young people are embracing so-called “grandma hobbies.” On social media platforms, activities such as home cooking, embroidery and gardening are becoming popular among teenagers and young adults who are drawn to their relaxing and creative nature. “Grandma hobbies” typically refer to activities that are slow-paced, handmade and nostalgic. Common examples include knitting scarves, baking cookies, sewing clothes and growing plants. These hobbies were once part of everyday life for many women in previous generations, but today they provide an escape from the fast-paced digital world. The appeal

Visitors walking down the streets of London and other major English cities might notice a curious sight. Many of the old __1__ have some of their windows boarded up. What’s even stranger is that there doesn’t appear to be any consistent pattern as to which windows get covered. This architectural __2__ dates back over 300 years during a time when “coin clipping” was a common crime in England. Back then, silver coins had simple designs with __3__, unmarked edges. Without any pattern extending to the coins’ rims, it was difficult to tell if the edges had been __4__. This
