(My dog, incidentally, chose Station Eleven.) Station Eleven All the Light We Cannot See 10 2 Victor Vazquez: All the Light We Cannot See is a pretty ornate, textural World War II meditation.

The Energy Story - Chapter 7: Electricity Transmission System
From these substations (like in the photo to the right), electricity in different power levels is used to run factories, streetcars and mass transit, light street lights and stop lights, and is sent to your neighborhood.

Globally, about 40 million people are projected to switch into Christianity, while 106 million are projected to leave, with most joining the ranks of the religiously unaffiliated.

The Tweaker - The New Yorker
He gets stopped for driving a hundred miles an hour, honks angrily at the officer for taking too long to write up the ticket, and then resumes his journey at a hundred miles an hour. He arrives at his hotel suite in New York for press interviews and decides, at 10 P.M., that the piano needs to be repositioned, the strawberries are inadequate, and the flowers are all wrong: he wanted calla lilies
THE ANOMALIST: World News on UFOs, Bigfoot, the Paranormal, and Other Mysteries at the Edge of Science
Maybe we need a good Roswell or Phoenix Lights -esque event to liven things up? Besides that, it's not very helpful when the media is flooded with suspicious evidence (or viral marketing) of very dubious origin like this Slender Alien of Nuevo Laredo Mexico either. An Englishman named Steve Feltham gave up his girlfriend, house, and job in southwest England 34 years ago and settled down on the south shore of Loch Ness to spend his life looking for Nessie

Instead of finding the money to set up a factory or asking a mass-producer at home (or in another country) to make something for you, 3D printers will offer a cheaper, less risky route to the market. Only a few years ago making decorative lampshades with 3D printers seemed to be a highly unlikely business, but it has become an industry with many competing firms and sales volumes in the thousands
The Tragedy of the Commons, by Garrett Hardin (1968)
But the air and waters surrounding us cannot readily be fenced, and so the tragedy of the commons as a cesspool must be prevented by different means, by coercive laws or taxing devices that make it cheaper for the polluter to treat his pollutants than to discharge them untreated. Pathogenic Effects of Conscience The long-term disadvantage of an appeal to conscience should be enough to condemn it; but it has serious short-term disadvantages as well

It entails placing food security and nutrition at the top of the political agenda and creating an enabling environment for improving food security and nutrition. Hunger reduction requires an integrated approach, and needs to include: public and private investments to raise agricultural productivity; better access to inputs, land, services, technologies and markets; measures to promote rural development; social protection for the most vulnerable, including strengthening their resilience to conflicts and natural disasters; and specific nutrition programmes, particularly to address micronutrient deficiencies in mothers and children under five
