- When sperm whales need a nap, they take a deep breath, dive down about 45 feet and arrange themselves into perfectly-level, vertical patterns. They sleep sound and still for up to two hours at a time between breaths, in pods of 5 or 6 whales, presumably for protection. No one knew whales slept vertically until a 2008 study documented the behavior. And no one captured really good photography of it in the wild until 2017. French photographer Stephane Granzotto was documenting sperm whales in the Mediterranean for his book on the creatures when he came across these sleeping whales.

另外一義
A hardpoint is any part of an airframe designed to carry an external load. This technical description includes mountings for engines, but most commonly the word is used to refer to the points on the wings of military aircraft where external stores - missiles, bombs, countermeasures, gun pods, and drop tanks - can be attached. Hardpoints on aircraft enhance the effectiveness of an aircraft but increase drag and radar returns.
By extension of the common usage, the word hardpoint is sometimes used to refer to a point on any vehicle where weapons or other accessories can be attached. Hardpoint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

我們研究約五百家頂尖公司半個世紀來的成長經驗，特別著重在所謂的「反轉下挫點」（stall point），這是指公司成長開始出現長期反轉的時點。更深入分析之後，我們發現成長反轉下挫的最常見原因，多半是可以預先防範的。一半以上的反轉下挫因 素，都不超出以下四大類：高檔地位羈絆（premium-position captivity）、創新管理失靈、過早放棄核心事業、儲備人才匱乏。馬修．歐爾森（Matthew S. Olson）、德瑞克．范貝佛（Derek van Bever）、賽斯．魏里（Seth Verry）本文摘自2008年將出版的《反轉下挫點》（Stall Points, Yale University Press）一書。
