Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: A resource on
the history of the Biblical canon.
Computing: Wired on how
to make passwords more secure.
Health: Wired reports on the dangers
of driving over the speed limit, or of setting the speed limit higher.
Politics: National Public Radio has a commentary
on how the news media failed to cover Donald Trump properly.
FiveThirtyEight weighs in on how
and why Trump won the Republican nomination.
FiveThirtyEight also reports that Trump
supporters have higher incomes than the public at large, which is
contrary to what has often been said, or implied.
Science: Listverse reports on animals
that decorate themselves, or their surroundings.
Listverse also reports on 10 small isolated villages where health conditions rare elsewhere are common.
Wired reports that the simple little hydra may be potentially immortal, and explains why.

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 NPE commentary on Trump's coverage. Bit puzzling, and depressing. Why didn't they expose him? His past is out there for all to remember. Occasionally we'd get little snippets of problems, but not enough to dissuade his many fans.
I remember studying hydra in school. Fascinating, and humorous article.
Oops, NPR article, not NPE.
I once found some hydra in some water and leaves I collected in a creek.
I'm not sure if anything would have dissuaded Mr. Trump's fans.
Thank you. Good to see you commenting again.
