How do I pick the perfect pillow?
At the end of the day, your pillow’s most important job is to support you in your go-to sleeping position, all night long. And when I say, “support,” I don’t just mean that it feels soft and cozy. The right pillow should keep your head, neck, and spine, all in neutral alignment, and support the natural curvature of your spine. Keeping a neutral spine not only alleviates neck pain, it also relieves pressure throughout your entire body.
Pro Tip: If you’re not exactly sure how to tell if your spine is in neutral alignment, check to make sure your ears are in line with your shoulders, and your chin is in line with your sternum.

Read the text below to answer the following question
Even the deepest, coldest parts of the ocean are getting warmer
Thermometers moored at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean recorded an average
temperature increase of about 0.02 degrees Celsius over the last decade. That warming may be a
consequence of human-driven climate change, which has boosted ocean temperatures near the
surface, but it’s unclear since so little is known about the deepest, darkest parts of the ocean.
“The deep ocean, below about 2,000 meters, is not very well observed,” says Chris Meinen,
an oceanographer at the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The deep sea is
so hard to reach that the temperature at any given research site is typically taken only once per
decade. But Meinen’s team measured temperatures hourly from 2009 to 2019 using seafloor
sensors at four spots in the Argentine Basin, off the coast of Uruguay.
Temperature records for the two deepest spots revealed a clear trend of warming over that
decade. This warming is much weaker than in the upper ocean, Meinen says, but he also notes
that since warm water rises, it would take a lot of heat to generate even this little bit of warming so
deep.
It’s too soon to judge whether human activity or natural variation is the cause, Meinen says.
Continuing to monitor these sites and comparing the records with data from devices in other ocean
basins may help to clarify matters.

TEXT 1: How brightly the moon glows is a mystery, but maybe not for long.
“The lunar dark side may be the moon’s more mysterious face, but there’s something pretty basic scientists still don’t know about the bright side — namely, just how bright it is.
Current estimates of the moon’s brightness at any given time and vantage point are saddled with at least 5 percent uncertainty. That’s because those estimates are based on measurements from ground-based telescopes that gaze at the moon through the haze of Earth’s atmosphere.
Now, scientists have sent a telescope beyond the clouds on a high-altitude airplane in hopes of gauging the moon’s glow within about 1 percent or less uncertainty, the National Institute of Standards and Technology reports in a Nov. 19 news release.
Knowing the exact brightness of Earth’s celestial night-light could increase the reliability of data from Earth-observing satellites that use the moon’s steady glow to check that their sensors are working properly. Those satellites keep tabs on things like weather, crop health and dangerous algal blooms.”

Answer the question according to the text
bellow
THE CREATIVE BRAIN IS WIRED
DIFFERENTLY
Scientists studying brain scans of people who were
asked to come up with inventive uses for everyday
objects found a specific pattern of connectivity that
correlated with the most creative responses.
Researchers were then able to use that pattern to
predict how creative other people's responses would
be based on their connections in this network. The
study is described in a January 15 (2018) paper
published in the Proceedings of the National
Academy of Sciences.
"What this shows is that the creative brain is wired
differently," said Roger Beaty, a Post-Doctoral
Fellow in Psychology and the first author of the
study. "People who are more creative can
simultaneously engage brain networks that don't
typically work together. We also used predictive
modeling to show we could predict, with some
degree of accuracy, how creative people's ideas
were (based on brain scans) that had already been
published." Beaty and colleagues reanalyzed brain
data from previous studies and found that, by simply
measuring the strength of connections in these
peoples' brain networks, they could estimate how
original their ideas would be.
While the data showed that regions across the brain
were involved in creative thought, Beaty said the
evidence pointed to three subnetworks -- the default
mode network, the salience network and the
executive control network -- that appear to play key
roles in creative thought.
The default mode network, he said, is involved in
memory and mental simulation, so the theory is that
it plays an important role in processes like mindwandering, imagination, and spontaneous thinking.
"In terms of creativity, we think that's important for
brainstorming," Beaty said. "But you're not always
going to stumble onto the most creative idea that
way, because you might be drawn to something
unoriginal from memory, so that's when these other
networks come online."
The salience network, he said, detects important
information, both in the environment and internally.
When it comes to creativity, researchers believe it
may be responsible for sorting through the ideas that
emerge from the default mode network.
Lastly, Beaty said, the executive control network
works to help people keep their focus on useful
ideas while discarding those that aren't working.
"It's the synchrony between these systems that
seems to be important for creativity," Beaty said.
"People who think more flexibly and come up with
more creative ideas are better able to engage these
networks that don't typically work together and
bring these systems online."
To identify the brain network involved in creativity,
Beaty and colleagues recruited a total of 163
volunteers, and used functional magnetic resonance
imaging (FMRI) technology to scan their brains as
they tried to conceive of creative ideas for everyday
objects, like a brick or a knife or a rope.
The team then trained "raters" to review the
responses from participants and evaluate how
creative their ideas were.
"Creativity is typically defined as the ability to come
up with new and useful ideas," Beaty said. "We
correlated the connectivity strength in this network while they were thinking creatively with the quality
of their responses."
Based on the results of that test, Beaty and
colleagues developed a predictive model and tested
against brain scan data collected for earlier studies
on creativity.
"We used already-published data. we found that
based on how strong the connections are in this
network, we could guess pretty accurately how
creative you're going to be on a task," Beaty said.
Ultimately, Beaty said he hopes the study dispels
some myths about creativity and where it comes
from.
"One thing I hope this study does is dispel the myth
of left versus right brain in creative thinking," he
said. "This is a whole-brain endeavor."
It's also not clear that this can't be modified with
some kind of training. "It's not something where you
have it or you don't," he added. "Creativity is
complex, and we're only scratching the surface here,
so there's much more work that's needed."
