Things I have recently spotted that may
        be of interest to someone else: 
 Christianity: A Relevant writer says that our
        prayers probably should be simpler.
In Christianity Today, a
        short discussion of addiction to pornography, and how prevalent it
      is.
Morgan Busse repeats some classic, and needed, guidelines
        on what to say, or not.
Computing: Gizmo's Freeware reports on a Chrome browser extension that
      searches your Internet cache. In
        other words, it looks in what you've already looked at, rather than the        entire web. Should be a big help in finding things you only partly
      remember, that you've already seen.
Google has made 819 typefaces
        available for free. One catch -- you can't download these to your
      computer, and use them in, say, Word. They are designed to be added to      part or all of a web page.
Gizmo's also notes that a new version of Libre
        Office, a freeware substitute for Microsoft Office, is available for        download.
Health: Scientific American reports that the dust mites that you may be allergic to cannot survive in a dry area, like, say, Arizona or Utah.
History: Listverse reports on 10 amazing items
        (or groups of items) of considerable value found with a metal detector.
Philosophy: Scientific American reports on research that shows
      that most
        people think that they are morally superior to others.
Politics: (And the environment) The Guardian reports that a
        house bill would, if adopted as law, sell a chunk of public land "as large        as Connecticut." Please don't.
FiveThirtyEight on how
        Judge Gorsuch (if confirmed) and additional Supreme Court Justices        appointed by President Trump might change previous decisions, such
      as Roe v. Wade/Doe v. Bolton.
Listverse discusses 10 problems with where and how we get our news. And "fake news" is on the list, but it's not the only problem.
Science: Scientific American discusses "strategic
        retreat" from rising bodies of water, caused by climate change.
