When one California construction worker, Colin Blevin arrived at work at around 7 a.m. on Monday morning, he noticed a car was blocking the entranceway to the construction site. While asking the driver to move, Colin spotted a baby in a car seat. “He moved the car and I pulled in,” Blevin said. “The back door was cracked open and I saw a baby.”

Blevin had no idea that e arlier that morning, a car with a 1-year-old had been stolen about 90 miles away while the baby’s father ran inside to order his lunch. “I didn’t know what was going on. I didn’t know initially the baby was in danger and there was an AMBER Alert,” Blevin said.

E ven though everything appeared pretty normal, Blevin’s instincts told him something was wrong. After parking his car, a local woman walked over and confirmed his suspicions. The lady told him quietly, “Help me save this baby.” She said, “You have to save this baby. The guy tried to give it to me.” He looked into the car and there was a beautiful chunky baby looking at him. The baby was calm, clean, with a bottle on his chest.

Blevin met the man, 44-year-old Raymond Randy Gutierrez, and asked whose baby was in the car. “He said a lady gave him the car and left the baby in the car,” Blevin said. “And right away I thought that makes no sense. The baby was well taken care of and this guy was dirty, skinny and nervous.” Blevin grabbed the baby from the car and Gutierrez ran away when he called 911. Police caught Gutierrez later that day and were able to reunite the baby with his parents.

The American Robin (知更鸟)

Characteristics

The American robin is 8 to 11 inches in length and 12 to 16 inches in width when its wings are spread. The male American robins have dark gray or brown back and wing feathers and reddish－orange chest feathers. The females have the same pattern, but they are a little duller in color.

Range

The American robins can be found in all of the United States and Canada except for Hawaii and the northernmost parts of Alaska and Canada. They can also be found in parts of Mexico and Central America. The American robins are migratory and populations move south in winter, although some populations stay in place.

Life Cycle

Robins mate (交配) in the spring from April through to July. A female robin may breed two or three times a season. A female robin builds a cup－shaped nest with soft tree branches, grass and feathers. She spreads mud on the inside of the nest with her breast. After she lines the nest with the mud, she will add grass and other soft materials. Sometimes a male robin helps to collect materials for the nest. The nest is built five to fifteen feet above the ground in a tree or bush. Sometimes a robin builds its nest on a window ledge. A female robin will lay three to five eggs at a time and it will take about two weeks before the baby robins are born.

In fairy tales, it's usually the princess that needs p rotecting. At Google in Silicon Valley, the princess is the one defending the castle. Parisa Tabriz is a 31-year-old with perhaps the most unique job title in engineering- “Google Security Princess”. Her job is to hack into the most popular web browser on the planet, trying to find weaknesses in the system before the “black hats” do. To defeat Google's attackers, Tabriz must firstly think like them.

Tabriz's role has evolved dramatically in the eight years since she first started working at Google. Back then, the young graduate from Illinois University was one of 50 security engineers---today there are over 500.

Cybercrime（网络犯罪）has come a long way in the past decade - from the Nigerian Prince Scam to credi t card theft. Tabriz's biggest concern now is the people who find bugs in Google's software, and sell the information to governments or criminals. To fight against this, the company has set up a Vulnerability Rewards Program, paying anywhere from $100 to $ 20, 000 for reported mistakes.
