Sunspots 797

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


Christianity: Relevant reports that a study found that about a third of self-proclaimed evangelicals do not believe that Jesus was God.

Relevant also suggests that some of us are misusing Jeremiah 29:11 -- you know "I know the plans I have for you ..."

Education: Grammarphobia on why Smith is such a common name.

Environment: Gizmodo reports that the Trump administration to open up the Arctic to drilling is probably a human rights violation, leaving aside environmental damage.

Gizmodo reports on important climate effects on Greenland and Antarctica.

Politics: FiveThirtyEight discusses the Republican convention, and how it pointed toward one-person rule.

FiveThirtyEight also points out that President Trump has significant support from college-educated whites, Blacks and Hispanics.

Science: The Scientist reports that the singing wild dogs of New Guinea are not extinct, as had been thought.

ListVerse reports on some strange scientific names. Some of them are a bit off-color.

Sports:

Thanks for looking!
