Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: Christianity Today reports that many US Christians hold heretical beliefs about the gravity of sin, the importance of worshiping with others, and the nature of the Holy Spirit.
Finance: (or something) Scientific American reports that there
are now a
million electrically powered autos in the US.
Food: Listverse on the origins
of 10 common foods (including bagels, ice cream cones, and others.)
Health: Scientific American on doctors
being slow to use new technology. (The article says that
thermometers were resisted for a long time!)
History: About the
life of Ella Mae Wiggins, a textile worker who became a leader in
the struggle for better pay and conditions for textile workers, but who was shot to death in 1929, by textile mill security employees.
Politics: FiveThirtyEight has a solid analysis of how the Supreme Court responds to resistance to its actions from
Congress and/or the President, based on the history of such situations.
Science: Scientific American tells us the function of a horse's tail. Really.
The graphic used in these posts is from NASA, hence, I believe, it is
public domain.
Thanks for looking!
