If you've ever seen a 3D movie, you know those little glasses you wear make the screen come alive.Now, researchers at the University of Minnesota are using 3D glasses on cuttlefish, and the findings may provide insight into the human brain and vision.Trevor Wardill and Paloma Gonzalez-Bellido, assistant professors for the Department of Ecology, Evolution and Behavior in the College of Biological Sciences, put 3D glasses on cuttlefish and created an underwater movie screen with shrimp on it to determine how cuttlefish determine the best distance to strike at moving prey. Their study is catching attention around the world.The findings showed that cuttlefish can see in 3D, very similar to humans. "And that they can compute this in their brain, which most people think invertebrates aren't very smart, and these are clearly able to do quite sophisticated computations," Wardill said."While cuttlefish have similar eyes to humans, their brains are significantly different," added Gonzalez-Bellido. "We know that cuttlefish brains aren't segmented like humans. They do not seem to have a single part of the brain — like our occipital lobe — dedicated to processing vision. Our research shows there must be an area in their brain that compares the images from a cuttlefish's left and right eye and computes their differences."The next step is for researchers to gain a better understanding of how vision in general works and what happens in our brains.

Various of stranded sperm whales, wallowing in water in a salt harvest field 2. Wide of ship trying to rescue stranded whales 3. Various of stranded whales 4. Mid of rescue ship at sea 5. Various of whales STORYLINE Local authorities have been trying to rescue four sperm whales that were found stranded in shallow water on the coast of east China's Jiangsu Province, Chinese broadcaster CCTV reported on Saturday. The whales were spotted by fishermen on Friday at 6 a.m. local time (2200 GMT on Thursday) in a salt harvest field by the coastal city of Yancheng. The local fishermen called fishing authorities to help, and a large-scale operation to rescue the whales was launched. Some relief came on Friday for the whales when high tide hit at around noon, partially covering the aquatic mammals in water. Attempts were still being made to return the whales to the deep sea on Saturday. The whales, which measure around 16 metres long and weigh around 30 tonnes, are in a weak condition. Local fishermen have guessed that the whales might have found themselves too close to shore while chasing cuttlefish or helping to keep one another afloat.

Coral reefs are the one of earths most complex ecosystems, containing over 800 species of corals and one million animal and plant species. Here we see a shallow coral reef with several mating Pharoah Cuttlefish (Sepia pharaonis). Cuttlefish (Cephalopod) are able to change colour to blend in with their surroundings by way of camouflage, as seen here. This is a primal instinctive animal behaviour, that helps to ensure their survival. Image taken whilst scuba diving in Phi Phi archipelago, Krabi, Thailand.

Coral reefs are the one of earths most complex ecosystems, containing over 800 species of corals and one million animal and plant species. Here we see a shallow coral reef consisting mainly of hard corals, with two Pharoah Cuttlefish (Sepiida). They have camouflaged themselves perfectly to blend in with the reef. The female is the smaller of the two. She takes her eggs from within her body and lays them under rocks using her tentacles. All the while the male is by her side protecting her. This rare footage of such animal behaviour was captured whilst scuba diving in the Andaman Sea, Krabi, Thailand.

FEED: SCRIPT: xfa Title: Diamond fashion show Date: January 18th 2000 Location: Paris In our ever more global, increasingly frenetic world, it's perhaps reassuring that the time-worn phrase, "diamonds are a girl's best friend" is still something many women consider to be an eternal truth. Unfortunately, but for the incredibly rich (or the famous with influence), very few women actually have the means to indulge their diamond fantasies. The long-established DE BEERS diamond company has created the perfect forum for an eye-watering collection of the very best in contemporary diamond design. Held in Paris on January 18th underneath the jewel-like glass pyramid of the Louvre Museum, the DE BEERS DIAMONDS-INTERNATIONAL AWARDS honoured the most original and influential designs in fine diamond jewellery and featured the work of 29 designers from all over the world. Attending the truly glittering ceremony was French actress and "The World Is Not Enough" star, SOPHIE MARCEAU. The winning designs were selected by an independent panel of judges including ANDRE LEON TALLEY (Editor-at-Large Vogue USA) and renowned American photographer, ALBERT WATSON. Sixteen countries were represented in the awards from Australia, Hong Kong, Brazil and Mexico to France, the United Arab Emirates and the U.K. Japanese designers featured especially heavily with five award-winning designs, followed by Italy, Brazil and India with three and France and South Africa with two. Contestants were asked to create special pieces for the new millennium and rose to the challenge, using a massive 47,000 diamonds weighing a total of 2,000 carats. The diamond creations were beautifully showcased in a catwalk show which featured French model cum actress, LAETITIA CASTA, of "Asterix and Obelix" fame and the current "Marianne" of France. All 29 designers were flown in for the occasion ; among them, the South African winner, KEVIN FRIEDMAN, who based his brightly coloured choker necklace on the geometric designs of the Ndebele women. Encouraged by his father (also a jeweller), to experiment with the craft, Friedman was doing cuttlefish casting from the age of seven and window display and jewellery design from the age of fourteen. He holds a diploma from the Gemmological Institute of America and has been a full time designer and director of the jewellery company, Frankli Wild since 1990. In 1993, Friedman started working with the Ndebele women, inspired by the bright colours in their lives and their warm personalities, and has set up a sustainable economic association with them, in which they are empowered rather than exploited. Combining the essence of Africa with design ability, Kevin's creations are marketed in twenty-two countries. His award-winning choker is a mixture of bead work (done by the Ndebele women) and intricate diamond work. The price tag? A mere $US200,000... Also basking in the glow of his own, rather large diamond creation was Canadian designer, DIETER HUEBNER. Inspired by the sight of stellar galaxies and twinkling spider webs, Huebner's winning piece was designed to depict a diamond, cloth-like neck wrap, much like a loosely folded scarf wrapped about the neck. A master Gold and Silversmith, he graduated from the Jewellery Arts Program at George Brown College in Toronto and went onto become an apprentice to Keller & Co in Germany where he earned his Master Goldsmith Diploma. Returning to Canada in 1976, Dieter became Teaching Master at Humber College and taught Metal Arts, Gold and Silversmithing. He is currently working as a freelance designer for Brinkhaus Jewellers, one of Canada's finest jewellers. All of the contestants were able to design and make their creations thanks to generous sponsorship from various individuals and jewellery companies. Now that the big night is over, the collection will tour the sixteen countries from whence the designers hail before being offered for sale. De Beers, which has been at the forefront of the diamond industry since 1888, founded the Diamonds-International Awards competition in 1953 to stimulate creativity and innovation. The winning pieces act for the jewellery industry as the Haute Couture works for the fashion world, and influence the market place for years to come.
