Fire Capt
．

Kevin Lloyd arrived at the scene of a car accident in West Point
，

Utah
，

north of
Salt Lake City
．

A pregnant woman and her screaming 2-year-old daughter were trapped in the
car
．


While his partner
，

Allen Hadley
，

was tending to the driver
，

Lloyd couldn't get the frightened
girl to calm down
．

He saw she was holding several bottles of nail polish
，

and then he had a
better idea
．

He asked her if she wanted to paint his nails
．

Soon she entirely lit up
．

At the
same time
，

Hadley showed up to check on the scene
．


Lloyd had calmed her down and was in the process of getting his fingers painted
．

Then Hadley
just put his hand in there
．

The girl began to color his nails pink
．

By this time
，

she was not
only calm
，

but she was also happy
．


The girl's mother was not injured
．

She thanked them for helping her daughter feel better
，

and
they all chuckled
，

looking at the firefighters' nails
，

and took some photos
．


The firefighters brought the photos back to headquarters and showed them around
．

The
department put them up on Facebook
，

and thousands of people responded
，

with many
thanking the firefighters for going out of their way to calm down a frightened girl
．


Fire Chief Mark Becraft said he had been surprised at all the attention
．

He said he was proud
of his firefighters
，

and added that he had known members of the department who had done
many things that weren't part of the job
．


After the fact
，

Lloyd and Hadley had a small matter to tend to
：

the layers of polish on their
nails
．

They bought a bottle of nail polish remover
，

and used almost all of it

As you move out of your teens and into your 20s and 30s
，

your musical tastes start to solidify
and you likely quit keeping up with popular music
．

Now
，

research has found the average age
at which your music library is unlikely to change
：

33
．


The study's author reached this conclusion by analyzing data on U
．

S
．

Spotify users and
comparing it to artist popularity data from music intelligence company The Echo Nest
．


To determine the age at which we stop seeking out new tunes
，

the author gathered
self- reported age data from Spotify and looked at users'

Taste Profiles
，

many times listeners have streamed individual artists
．

These artists were then matched to their
popularity rank on The Echo Nest
．


The average teen listens almost only to music among the Billboard
，

the 200 highest-ranking

albums in the country
，

but this music represents a smaller part of their streaming as they
age
．

In their teens
，

they listen to a lot of the same music
，

over and over again
．

Frank
T
．

McAndrew
，

a professor of psychology at Knox College
，

explains that's the
exposure effect
，

and it basically means
，

the more we're exposed to something
，

the
more we like it
．


There are many reasons why a person may stop streaming the current top musical hits
，

and the
author looked into one by identifying Spotify listeners with large amounts of children's music
and nursery rhymes in their libraries
．

In other words
，

when users may have become parents
．


But the study concludes with some good news for parents
：


find yourself staying as relevant as you used to
，

have no fear - just wait for your kids to
become teenagers
，

and you'll get exposed to all the popular music of the day once again!
happens after teens grow older

They still bite
，

but new research shows lab-grown mosquitoes are fighting dengue fever - a
dangerous disease that they normally would spread
．

Dengue infections appear to be dropping
fast in communities in Indonesia
，

Vietnam
，

Brazil and Australia that are filled with the
specially grown mosquitoes
．


Researchers first injected
（注射）
mosquito eggs with Wolbachia bacteria that's common in
insects and harmless to people in a lab
．

Infected females then pass the bacteria on through their
eggs
．

Releasing enough Wolbachia carriers
，

both the females that bite and the males that
don't
，

allows mating
（交配）
to spread the bacteria through a local mosquito population
．


Rather than using chemicals to wipe out pests
，


mosquito
，

，

which is
conducting the research
．


The first success came from Australia
．

Mosquitoes carrying Wolbachia were released in parts
of North Queensland starting in 2011
，

and gradually spread through the local mosquito
population
．

Dengue is spread when a mosquito bites someone who is infected
，

and then bites
another person
，

but somehow Wolbachia blocks that - and local spread has nearly disappeared
in those North Queensland Communities
