Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: He Lives argues that Matthew
18 should not be used for general church discipline.
Computing: Gizmo's Freeware identifies the
27 best web sites for wasting your time.
Gizmodo also reports that there are data
hoarders -- people who collect lots and lots of files.
Environment: Earther describes some
of the really bad things that global climate change may cause.
Health: NPR reports that changing
patient's attitudes helps them to take the medicine, and for it to help them. Attitude changes included having patients interpret bothersome
side effects as a signal that the medicine is working.
Gizmodo, and other sources, report on research that indicates that sleeping
late on weekends doesn't make up for too little sleep on other nights.
Humor: (and Health) NPR reports on how using
Car Talk's diagnostic methods helps doctors diagnose illness.
Politics: Michael Gerson says "The current investigations targeting the
Trump administration are not partisan witch-hunts. They are the natural result when a leader surrounds himself with crooks, cronies and conmen."
Joel Anderson has a proposal
which should end most or all of the controversy over abortion. But,
he says, politicians don't want to solve the abortion issue -- it energizes voters too much.
NPR reports that flood
disaster money is distributed in ways that favor the rich. Surprise!
Science: FiveThirtyEight explains why
it's hard to show that global climate change really exist -- a
politician throwing a snowball is more dramatic, and usually presented with more confidence.
The graphic used in these posts is from NASA, hence, I believe, it is
public domain.
Thanks for looking!
Musings on science, the Bible, and fantastic literature (and sometimes basketball and other stuff).
God speaks to us through the Bible and the findings of science, and we should listen to both types of revelation.
The title is from Psalm 84:11.
The Wikipedia is usually a pretty good reference. I mostly use the World English Bible (WEB), because it is public domain. I am grateful.
