Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
My usual categories don't exactly hold several of the things I've spotted this week.
Computing: (sort of) More than you want to know, but you should know, about
sex trafficking.
Health: (and, unfortunately, rape) The BBC on the
difficulties Indian woman experience in going to the toilet, or in getting along without such a facility.
Politics: (sort of) "What
gives a dollar bill its value?" a YouTube video, less than 4 minutes
in length.
(sort of) A Fox News commentator on the sudden influx
of children from Central America. Public Radio International reports
on the same matter.
National Public Radio reports on how
much it takes to finance a terrorist attack. Not very much.
NPR also reports on how government grants to local police have made it more
likely that SWAT teams will be used inappropriately, and they have
been so used, unfortunately.
Science: Wired reports on harp
sponges, a really strange primitive animal.

Musings on science, the Bible, and fantastic literature (and sometimes basketball and other stuff).
God speaks to us through the Bible and the findings of science, and we should listen to both types of revelation.
The title is from Psalm 84:11.
The Wikipedia is usually a pretty good reference. I mostly use the World English Bible (WEB), because it is public domain. I am grateful.

Interesting article about the children from Central America. I'm glad I read it. I have been very concerned about their plight, and sent a donation to the Salvation Army. I shared the article on Facebook.
Thanks, FancyHorse.
That's more than I did, as a matter of fact. Good for you!
