以下是文章的内容回忆：
One of the most famous ships lost in the 19th century has been located in the Arctic, the Canadian government announced Tuesday, prompting Prime Minister Stephen Harper to declare that "one of Canada's greatest mysteries" has been solved.
The shipwreck marks the final resting place of one of two vessels that disappeared mysteriously nearly 170 years ago, when a British naval expedition led by Sir John Franklin was attempting to navigate and map the Northwest Passage.
The ships, the H.M.S. Erebus and H.M.S. Terror, were lost in 1846 and both crews perished. Although the graves of a few of the men were discovered later on land and local Inuit reported seeing one of the ships sink, exactly what happened to the ill-fated voyage has been a source of intense debate and speculation over the years. (See "5 Shipwrecks Lost to Time That Archaeologists Would Love to Get Their Hands On.")
But now Canadian authorities have released sonar images of what appears to be a largely intact ship near Nunavut's King William Island, thanks to a remotely operated vehicle owned by Parks Canada.
"There is no doubt" that the ship is either the Erebus or Terror, says James Delgado, a maritime and shipwreck historian with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Delgado had previously looked for the ships in the Arctic but was not involved with Canada's efforts, which he said were "years in the making."
"I think this will prove to be one of the great maritime archaeological discoveries of our time," says Delgado, who wrote the book Across the Top of the World: The Quest for the Northwest Passage.
According to Delgado, the Franklin expedition was one of the best equipped and most experienced voyages to tackle the Northwest Passage in the mid-19th century. Finding a route across the top of North America was long seen as a holy grail in navigation that would provide a quicker route from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
"It wasn't quite mounting a mission to the moon, but it was darn close," he said.
The expedition sailed from England in 1845. The ships met whalers as they entered the chilly waters around northern Canada. Then an expectant world outside was met with silence.
"It turned out to be one of the most compelling 'what happened' stories," says Delgado. Numerous rescue and then archaeological attempts were made in the ensuing years, by teams from several countries.
A few graves of crew were eventually found on Beechey Island. Cut marks left on human bones found on King William Island have been interpreted to suggest the survivors practiced cannibalism.
A note left by a crew member said Franklin had died and the ships had been abandoned, but didn't give any details. Inuit said they saw one of the ships sink rapidly into the water, but later historians argued that the vessels were more likely dashed to bits by the ice.
Delgado says the fact that the shipwreck appears to be largely intact is great news for learning more about what happened to the expedition.
There is a good chance that books and letters on board may have been preserved in the cold water, he said. And the crew was known to have daguerreotype equipment. "We know those photographic plates have survived on other shipwrecks in cold conditions, so who knows what might be on them?" asks Delgado.
He adds that the ship is likely to be a "time capsule" that sheds light not only on what happened to its crew, but also on the era. Uncovering that trove has been a big challenge over the years, thanks to cold temperatures, pack ice, and the vastness of the remote area.
"If the Canadians decide to do more research, I think this ship will begin to speak for those men, or if we can find their writings, they'll speak for themselves," Delgado says.
In announcing the discovery, the prime minister said Franklin's ships "are an important part of Canadian history, given that his expeditions ... laid the foundations of Canada's Arctic sovereignty."

We all know that law is very important in the society. It is a must in order for a society to be peaceful and problem-free. Law is a man-made therefore it is in you if you will follow it or not. If you do not follow the law, it doesn’t mean you will die, so nature has nothing to do on the laws of man. The law is something that the human has created to modulate the society by introducing justice, Targit BI System, fairness and equality that is set by courts and governments and is applied to everyone within their jurisdiction. The law can give protection to the victims and will punish those who have done unlawful actions. You don’t have any option where you can choose from, if you disobey, then, you have to face the consequences. If a society won’t have a system of law on it that will control how the people operates their lives, then there would not be a society to live in. people will be able to make decisions that will solely be based on their principles, then they would be able to do crimes if they want to, steal, murder, damage, bully, rape, trespass, and even terrorize what and whom when they wanted want to, and nothing would be done about it at all.
Therefore, it will be a disaster if not possible if people in a society will do actions that is solely base on their principles. If there won’t be law, nothing will stop the people on doing things that they want, with that, they will be free to do revenge and it will be vice-versa for they know that they could totally get away unto anything they do, even if it is bad and unlawful. Eventually, the society will be full of crimes, murders and illegal actions. If there won’t be no rules in a society, then even a simple waste disposal will be a big problem that could affect the whole world. If not done properly, it may lead to diseases that can kill  the human race. The supply of water could also be affected if there were no rules. No one will work to maintain the cleanliness of it for they may turn unto doing things that may give money more easy even though it is not right at all. No one will cure us when we were ill and help us in times of trouble. In the end, each of the people will find their own ways to live and survive, it’ll be like a war zone.
This merely show how important it is to have a system of law in a society to regulate a good relationship with each other, even for those with conflicting interest. This is the only procedure that could ensure that the human rights are respected. If we won’t have laws, our society would not be able to function effectively. Crimes will become an everyday occurrences that children will grow up and will then find it normal, which is not desirable to happen in our future generations, that is why law is very important, it ensures the safety of our future generations.

Human memory is quirky, complicated, and unreliable. Even when we think we're remembering everything accurately, chances are things have gotten twisted along the way. Let’s take a look at why your memory sucks, and how you can change that.
Science is still figuring out all kinds of new things about our brains and memory. What we do know is that a lot of people struggle with remembering things, and in many different ways. Perhaps you're always forgetting a few items at the grocery store, or to pick up the dry cleaning on your way home. Worse, maybe you can't remember events from your childhood that well, or you remember an event from college differently than a friend. So, let's take a look at what's really going on in your brain, and then see if we can actually do anything to improve your memory.
The fact is, human memory is complicated. As an example, consider how you remember visual images. It seems straightforward, you see something, and you remember it. But as Scientific American points out, it's more complex than that:
Memories of visual images (e.g., dinner plates) are stored in what is called visual memory. Our minds use visual memory to perform even the simplest of computations; from remembering the face of someone we’ve just met, to remembering what time it was last
Memories like what you had for dinner are stored in visual short-term memory—particularly, in a kind of short-term memory often called “visual working memory.” Visual working memory is where visual images are temporarily stored while your mind works away at other tasks—like a whiteboard on which things are briefly written and then wiped away.
So, what causes those memories to stick around and not be wiped away from that whiteboard? According to a one study from MIT, it might simply be how meaningful an image is and if we can connect it to other knowledge. If you can connect that image to something else, it increases the chances you'll remember it later. Like learning, memory is all about context. This is why, as The Atlantic points out, pattern recognition is key. Essentially, the more connections a new memory has to knowledge you have, the more likely it is you'll remember that information. The same basic process seems to happen with most memories.
Underneath the hood, all types of things are happening in your brain. How Stuff Works does a good job of breaking it down:
Experts believe that the hippocampus, along with another part of the brain called the frontal cortex, is responsible for analyzing these various sensory inputs and deciding if they're worth remembering. If they are, they may become part of your these various bits of information are then stored in different parts of the brain. How these bits and pieces are later identified and retrieved to form a cohesive memory, however, is not
To properly encode a memory, you must first be paying attention. Since you cannot pay attention to everything all the time, most of what you encounter every day is simply filtered out, and only a few stimuli pass into your What we do know is that how you pay attention to information may be the most important factor in how much of it you actually remember.
The fact of the matter is, we're still learning a lot about human memory. Why we remember certain details over others is still a mystery.
