Computing: (and Politics) Donald Trump, Jr., is not the only politician (or helper of one) accused of violating copyright, but he is one who has done so recently, according to National Public Radio. He used a Flickr photo, which is here, and is labelled "all rights reserved." I am a member of Flickr, but have not reserved all rights to my photos.
Health: National Public Radio reports on a doctor who confessed, years after the fact, to lying to protect another doctor in a malpractice case. The report suggests that such happenings are not rare, or not rare enough.
NPR also reports that life spans are no longer continuing to lengthen, and why.
History: You've probably seen, heard, and read about the National Museum of African American History and Culture. If you haven't, you should have.

The New York Times reports that, even after Mr. Trump's announcement affirming it, a significant number of citizens don't believe that President Obama was born in the U. S. (The number has gone down.)

For all the uproar (sometimes) about genetic engineering of food crops, there have been few examples used commercially. One of these, making corn resistant to rootworms, is starting to fail -- the rootworms are evolving into having resistance. (Scientists predicted this would happen, but the seed companies didn't listen to them.) Another source of a resistance gene has been found.

If Number 4 of the Dark Secrets about Trump is correct, it might not be quite so scary to consider voting for him. I like what I've seen of Pence so far, with the exception of his support for Trump.
Sorry, I could not make myself read about what dead people ate.
I hope the obesity epidemic can be turned around. It seems ironic that it started happening around the same time as keeping fit became popular, and the same time that we (I) became aware of eating disorders.
Yes, obesity and fitness are very important to us -- the latter, at least, too important.
We'll see what happens if Mr. Trump becomes President. God help us, either way.
Thanks for your comments, as always.
