Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: A post in Relevant says that complaining
is a spiritual problem.
Education: National Public Radio reports on Turnitin, a service that checks the papers submitted by college students, for plagiarism.
Health: An amazing 3-minute video on what
we look like to an ultraviolet camera. The video also shows graphic
evidence that we should use sun-screen, aka sunblock, and that glass blocks UV waves. See here
for a report on the video, in Slate.
Humor: (Or something) Coffee is now being made from coffee beans eaten, then passed
through the gut, of elephants. Really, says National Public Radio.
Science: Wired
reports that city
spiders grow bigger than spiders not in urban areas.
NPR reports on using people with Down syndrome as subjects for research into Alzheimer's. It turns out that, if they live long enough, all people with Down syndrome develop Alzheimer's.
Wired also reports on fungi
that control the behavior of ants.
