The Biodiversity Project by Joels Sartore

For many of Earth’s creatures, time is running out. Half of the world’s plant and animal species will soon be threatened with extinction. The goal of the Biodiversity Project is simple: to show what’s at stake, and to get people to care, while there’s still time to save them.  More than 1,800 species have been photographed to date, with more to come.

Massive Solar Storm Causes Planes To Be Rerouted

npr:

You might have heard about a major solar storm that is hitting Earth right now. It’s the biggest to hit us since 2005. You’ve also probably heard a few people say, “I didn’t feel anything.”

As our friends at 13.7 explained earlier today, the storms have the ability to disrupt sensitive electronics and even the power grid. Usually none of those things happen. But, today’s solar storm did cause a bit of disruption.

As Fox Business reports, Delta Air Lines rerouted at least six planes that were supposed to cross the North Pole. —Eyder Peralta

This makes me entirely not excited to fly today.

“One sure giveaway of quack medicine is the claim that a product can treat any ailment. There are, sadly, no panaceas. But some things come close, and exercise is one of them.”

As doctors never tire of reminding people, exercise protects against a host of illnesses, from heart attacks and dementia to diabetes and infection. Just why it has such magical properties is, at last, being understood. (via theeconomist)
