Difference Between is a web site that posts -- what else -- the difference between lots of things, such as Greek and regular yogurt, Oxycodone and Oxycontin, after and afterward and a lot more. Searchable.

Science: Christianity Today (!) has a splendid display of photos of plankton, near-microscopic organisms that are suspended in the ocean in vast numbers, and in a great variety of species.
Wired tells us that scientists are learning a lot about individual brain cells by making them light-sensitive. Really.

I don't often express political views, but I will say here that I hope that Mr. Trump does not win the Republican nomination. If he does, I may vote Democrat.
I don't often express them, either, but I agree on both points.
Since I posted this, I read an article indicating that Trump, in addition to not being a member of any church, and never having expressed his belief that his sins have been forgiven, knows almost nothing about the Bible (like a lot of other US citizens). I didn't keep the link.
Thanks.
I saw that article, or a similar one, on Facebook.
