Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: Christianity Today
reports on the most
popular Bible verses, based on on-line access to them. Popularity
varies by the user's country.
Computing: How
to look at the other person's screen when they call you with a Windows
computer problem.
Education: (And politics) FiveThirtyEight has studied
the effect of affirmative action in college admission -- without it,
minorities are still not as likely to be admitted.
Politics: Most Americans aren't middle-class anymore.
Science: Wired reports on a lacewing
fly with an amazing signal that attracts females.
Wired also reports on what
happens if you get shot -- and it's not a lot like the way TV and
movies portray it.
Sports: FiveThirtyEight analyzes Stephen Curry's long basketball shots, and finds that, so far this season, his accuracy is unprecedented.
Breanna Stewart, of the University of Connecticut Huskies, has become the only player in women's college basketball history to have both more than 300 career blocked shots and 300 career assists.
She is also the only women's player (and, I think, the only player of
either sex) to have been named most valuable player of the NCAA Final
Four for three years. And she has most of this season yet to play, God willing!
