一名搶劫犯手持牛油果在兩家以色列銀行搶走了近8000美元。據《以色列時報》報導，5月中旬，這名47歲的男子先是襲擊了南部城市貝爾謝巴一家郵政銀行，他遞給櫃員一張帶有拼寫錯誤的紙條，要求櫃員給錢。

Standing mutes taste buds
研究:站著吃飯有助減肥
A new study published in the Journal of Consumer Research finds postureimpacts tasteperception, with food tasting better when you're sitting down. Researchers found that holding a standing posture for even a few minutes prompts physical stress, muting taste buds. The force of gravity pushes blood to the lower parts of the body, causing the heart to work harder to pump blood back up to the top of the body, accelerating heart rate.
發表在《消費研究雜誌》上的一項新研究發現，進食姿勢會影響味覺感知，坐著進食時，食物的味道會更好一些。研究人員發現，保持站立姿勢僅幾分鐘就會引起身體緊張，從而屏蔽味蕾。重力把血液推向身體下部，要將血液輸送到身體上部，需要心臟更加用力運轉，從而導致心率加快。
This activates the hypothalamic-pituitaryadrenalaxisand leads to increasedconcentrationsof the stress hormonecortisol. This chain reaction reducessensorysensitivity, which impacts food and beverage taste evaluation, food temperature perception and overall consumption volume.
心率加快會激活下丘腦—垂體—腎上腺軸，導致壓力荷爾蒙皮質醇濃度的上升。這種連鎖反應將降低感覺的敏感度，後者會影響對餐飲口味的評價、對食物溫度的感知以及進食總量。
When people experience discomfort, foods that normally taste good do not appear as pleasant to the palate. Researchers confirmed their hypothesis by having 350 participants rate the tastiness of a pita chip. Those who were standing gave it a less favorable rating than those who were sitting in a padded chair.
當人們感到不適時，通常吃起來美味的食物似乎不會帶來味蕾的愉悅。通過讓350名參與者評估一種皮塔餅的口感，研究人員證實了他們的假設。那些站著進食的人對這種食物的評價要比坐在軟墊椅上進食的人的評價差一些。

Boeing reports zero orders
波音訂單連續兩月掛零
Boeing reported no new commercial aircraft orders in May. It was the second straightmonth that Boeing's orders were at astandstillin the face of the 737 Max crisis. The drop in orders isn't only because of the grounding of the 737 Max, CNN reported. Boeing also has a massivebackorderof about 5,000 planes. Many of its customers do not need to place orders for additional jets right now.
波音公司報告稱，5月份該公司的商用飛機訂單為零。這是737 Max停飛危機之下，波音訂單連續第二個月停滯不前。據美國有線電視新聞網報導，波音訂單量下降除去737 Max飛機停飛的原因，還受該公司之前約5000架飛機的大量積壓訂單的影響，這導致波音的許多客戶暫不需要目前訂購額外的飛機。
Next week is also the Paris Air Show, the key industry trade show for the year, at which Boeing and rival Airbus typically like to announce orders. So May is often a slower month for new orders. Yet Boeing booked orders for 43 jets in May of 2018, ahead of that year's Paris Air Show. And 21 of those orders were for the 737 Max.
此外，年內重要的行業貿易展巴黎航展下周即將舉行。由于波音和其競爭對手空客通常喜歡在航展上公布訂單，這也使5月成為新訂單增加較慢的月份。然而，去年5月，巴黎航展舉行前，波音公司斬獲43架飛機的訂單，其中21架訂購的是737 Max。
