Sunspots 597

Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to someone else:



Christianity: Lifeway Research has set forth four questions that indicate whether someone is an evangelical.


Computing: Gizmo's freeware has updated its annotated list of free games for Windows machines. (Some of these have Ios and Android versions.)

Finance: The New York Times discusses Walmart's higher wages, and, perhaps, treating workers better, and the effects of these changes on the bottom line.

Food: Relevant says that newly developed sweet potatoes may prevent blindness in many people. (The potatoes have not been genetically modified.)

Health: Scientific American says that weight loss surgery also alters the brain.

Gizmo's Freeware points us to a hearing test that requires just a computer and headphones.

History: Listverse on clowns that terrified people in the past.


Politics: Charles Krauthammer, no one's idea of a left-winger, claims that the election of Mr. Trump would be very dangerous, and tells why.

  1. Yes, I am an evangelical.

    I had not heard of Walmart's changes, changes for the better!

    You probably can guess that I agree with Charles Krauthammer.
