A workshop followed by a public conversation helped scientists find new ways to talk about their scientific research to audiences they do not often communicate with. Religion and
spirituality can be agents for scientific learning. How do you communicate science to people who hold different worldviews? While there is no single answer, one crucial element can make the difference between hearing and listening: connection. Most Americans are supportive of science and also identify as religious or ...
Will one of these be our new flag? The Government's panel deciding what could be the country's next flag says it had to cast off
many very good designs, to whittle down 10,293 submissions to just 40. Koru, the silver fern, and the southern cross feature heavily, along with the use of black, red, blue, green and white. Some of them are developments of the existing flag, while others are radical departures. From this list of 40, just four will be...

Astronomers have for the first time discovered two alien planets whirling around a pair of stars: a complete solar system with twin suns just
like Luke Skywalker's fictional home world Tatooine. Most stars like our sun are not singletons, but rather come in pairs that orbit each other.

DURING November 1968, in the aftermath of the previous year's Arab-Israeli Six Day War, a ''Joint Declaration by 20 representatives
of the German left'' appeared in the American left Zionist magazine Jewish Frontier.

This year in the US they’re holding an election and I’m planning to become an American citizen. Happily, as a
dual national, I can now also remain a loyal subject of the Queen. It’s as if, after the Declaration of Independence, the British shook hands with the colonists and said, ‘Jolly good, chaps. Great idea! Now let’s just beg to differ on a few details and carry on as normal, shall we?’ Of course, the power’s shifted a bi...

In November 2011, a small Renaissance painting known as the Salvator Mundi (“Saviour of the World”) went on show
at the National Gallery. It was a compelling, moody, somewhat odd picture: a half-length figure of Christ with ringlets of auburn hair, holding a transparent crystal orb. Even more compelling was the label, describing it as a newly discovered work by Leonardo da Vinci. This attribution, at the upper end of the art wor...
For those who have a job in this economy of ever-rising unemployment, under employment and general malaise, it seems almost ungrateful
to complain about anything that produces a paycheck. But over a 50-year span, the average American spends about 100,000 hours working. With so much of our lives spent at our jobs, sometimes it is important to stop and consider a question that may sound childish or unrealistic in this job market: What do you want to be...
THE DERBY took place in Manchester last night but only one horse was running. This was a race between a thoroughbred and a donkey

The fallen champions have taken some heavy punches this season but the one delivered by the boys in blue after just 40 second...

Leicester beat Watford to move five points clear at the top of the table as Riyad Mahrez scored his 15th Premier League goal of
the season. After second-placed Tottenham drew with third-placed Arsenal, the Foxes took a step closer to English football's most unlikely title win. Mahrez almost set up Jamie Vardy for an early goal as the Foxes started well. And a similar start to the second half saw the Algerian rifle high into the net after Jose ...

Who says evangelism has to stop during conflict? Typically, when war breaks out in Africa, missionaries evacuate and evangelism stops—dead
in its tracks. But the Democratic Republic of Congo is not typical. Nobody told Congolese evangelicals to stop spreading the gospel during war. In the late 1990s, Gil Odendaal was in and out of Congo for five years in a series of short-term visits with Medical Ambassadors International. His aim was to train leaders wh...

The markets had a rough week as most investors were focused on fiscal cliff worries and talks that began on Friday. Despite a slightly positive end, in
general the major indices slipped. The Nasdaq Composite ended 1.8% lower, the S&P 500 dropped 1.5% and Dow industrials finished 1.8% below one week ago. Also on many peoples' minds was the housing market and the Fed's plan to get past tight lending issues. Chairman Bernanke confirmed that the central bank is working o...

Deck the halls with boughs of holly, because Amit Trivedi, the most promising Indian composer, is back with the soundtrack
of Aisha, and boy is it a doozy. The album opens with Suno Aisha, a song that instantly throws you off with a fast, be-bebop array of almost-discordant sounds. They clash into melody soon enough, and the vocals -- by Ash King, Nakash Aziz and Trivedi himself -- shuffle charmingly around the basic, even banal lyrics. T...
Two years ago, George Green got stabbing pain and bad blisters around his right arm. It was the worst case of shingles his doctor

His doctor at Emory University, Dr. Sharon Bergquist, said about 10 percent of the patients she's given the shingles shot ha...

Breaking up is hard to do. There's no question that breaking up with someone that you thought you were going to be with for a long
time can be really hard to handle. Having to face the constant struggle of moving on even though you can't stop thinking about him is seriously the worst. Nothing can ever prepare you for waking up in the morning, only to notice that he's not where he's supposed to be. If you've ever had to go through this feeling of ...

The Hunt for Vulcan review: A predicted planet eluded discovery until Einstein killed it. Scientists at one time thought the Solar System had an extra
