Another BBC inaccuracy: "The team recorded and analysed the voices of 23 native Californians aged between 18 and 22. The researchers were therefore not able to infer similar language patters in older Californians."

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-24363025 No, it is not acceptable to present Drosophila research alongside PhD studies in the 'history of shoes' as if research on the fruit fly were obscure. It's a MODEL ORGANISM in Biology. Nobbers.

Chuggers are getting on my nerves. Denigrated today for saying 'no thanks, sorry'and walking away. Next time I will agree to contribute a monthly payment to their charity if they promise to contribute an equal payment to my chosen charity: the Anti-Chuggers Association. Working to clear the streets of charity muggers.

Wild abandoned railway in the centre of Paris. Beautiful - they should make this into a national/international attraction. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-24655733

That is a diamond in the rough. It could really be an asset, but what? It looks like it cuts through some economically challenged areas. Who would benefit from it would be hard to predict. They have turned some old logging lines in our area to lineal parks running through the forest with pavement for strolling, running and bikes.

I do commend their courage though, their willingness to put their own wellbeing on the line in the name of doing what is right. Heroes all three <3
