Original Post from Ilya Grigorik: "Hours of fixed length became commonplace only after mechanical clocks first appeared in Europe during the 14th century... It was not practical for the general public to consider minutes until the first mechanical clocks that displayed minutes appeared near the end of the 16th century." ... fascinating read. Why is a minute divided into 60 seconds, an hour into 60 minutes, yet there are only 24 hours in a day? - mjc

Original Post from Ilya Grigorik: All Google+ widgets have been updated to use the script[async + defer] pattern! E.g. +1 button docs: http://bit.ly/YHoj96 What's the benefit? Loading widgets via script[async+defer] does not block the document parser (see [1]), and allows the preload scanner to discover the script resource and initiate an earlier fetch (see [2]). Net outcome, both your page and the widget load faster! Have a G+ widget on your page? Check out the docs for guidance on how to update your snippets. Kudos to the G+ team for taking the lead on this! Hope to see more widget providers adopt the same pattern. [1] https://developers.google.com/web...

Original Post from Filippo Salustri: Empathy can cause aggression. And a neurohormone may be responsible. "The findings of the research provide evidence that activating empathy may prompt aggression toward those in conflict or competition with empathy targets, even independent of traditional predictors of aggression and in the absence of wrongdoing or provocation from the target of aggression." #neuroscience #empathy  Researchers examined whether assessed or elicited empathy would lead to situation-specific aggression on behalf of another person, and to explore the potential role of two neurohormones in explaining a connection between empathy and aggression. - mjc

Original Post from Rhys Taylor: Website update Slight modifications to the second part of the bit about the Virgo cluster. http://www.rhysy.net/virgo-e... By which I mean the .blend containing the 781 images of Virgo cluster galaxies in position-velocity space is now available. I tidied up the script a bit, but it's still rough around the edges. Should be fine for just looking at the pretty pictures though. I'm currently trying to export this to WebGL format via blend4web. That should be a lot more interesting since anyone could view this interactively in a browser without Blender. Virgo.gif - mjc
