The blue city of Jodhpur.
Located in the Thar Desert, the dynamic city of Jodhpur, India breaks the starkness of its surroundings with intense punches of color. The metropolis is cloaked in blue not just for aesthetic purposes; the hue historically demarcated the residence of the Brahmin, a caste of priests and protectors, and thus was meant to deter looters should the city ever come under siege.

School asks 100 graffiti artists to paint it before renovation, and result is better than any...
Most schools looks pretty bland, with safe homogeneous colors and uninspired designs, but one hundred graffiti artists have just turned the boring walls of a dormitory in Paris into a stunning celebration of art and creativity.

Free Internet Hack: How to Connect to Free Wifi Networks from Far Away
In this article I will explain how to set up a wifi setup that can connect to an internet source far away. This works great on a boat (which I did in my case), in an RV, or even in a downtown apartment. If you have the password to a nearby wifi it will essentially transport that wifi and make it wherever you have this set up. You can get a wifi login to a local restaurant or cafe and then have that in your own home environment (if it is reachable). In my case I set this up on my boat and was able to get access to wifi in an office 2 miles away that I had the password to.

Introspection
An older man went for his annual check up. Results looked good, but something was bothering him and he had to ask his Doc.
"Doc, it's about my wife, I think she is losing her hearing, but I think it's hard for her to admit. She won't get a hearing test and I just don't know what to do, any advice?"
"Well, these things are difficult. I have a simple test you can do right at home. When she's in another room ask her a question in a normal voice. If no response start to get closer and ask the same question again and do it till she hears you. Then you can explain the process and see if she'll consider to come in for a test."
" That's great Doc, thanks so much and I'll give it a try tonight!"
When he gets home he sees his wife is busy cooking in the kitchen, perfect. He sits down in his favorite chair, not too far from the kitchen entrance and asks in a normal voice, "Dear, what's for dinner?" He waits a bit, doesn't get a response. Hmmm, not good. He gets up and goes to the entrance of the kitchen and asks again, "Dear, what's for dinner?" Pretty close to her, but still no response. He get's up right behind her and asks again. "Dear, what's for dinner?"
His wife spins around, "Meatloaf! I told you three times you deaf fuck!!"

52 Blue
At a remote military base in the Pacific Northwest, Navy sonar technicians hear a confounding sound. It is the voice of a whale, but one that sings at a frequency—52 hertz—never before heard by scientists, and inaudible to other members of its species. The whale seems to be alone in the Pacific Ocean, unable to communicate with its kind... By Leslie Jameson. (August, 2014)

The War You Don't See
John Pilger's 'The War You Don't See' (2011) is a powerful and timely investigation into the media's role in war, tracing the history of 'embedded' and independent reporting from the carnage of World War One to the destruction of Hiroshima, and from the invasion of Vietnam to the current war in Afghanistan and disaster in Iraq. As weapons and propaganda become even more sophisticated, the nature of war is developing into an 'electronic battlefield' in which journalists play a key role, and civilians are the victims. But who is the real enemy?

Mitch Landrieu Reminds Us That Eloquence Still Exists
"... a big, sweeping, old-fashioned speech delivered in New Orleans on Friday made such an impression on me. It was a reprieve. It was an antidote. But it also addressed matters that are forever tripping us up — race, history, healing — better than anything I’ve heard or read in a long time. It was the masterpiece we needed at the moment we needed it"

Why Neuroscientists Need to Study the Crow
The animals of neuroscience research are an eclectic bunch, and for good reason. Different model organisms—like zebra fish larvae, C. elegans worms, fruit flies, and mice—give researchers the opportunity to answer specific questions. The first two, for example, have transparent bodies, which let scientists easily peer into their brains; the last two have eminently tweakable genomes, which allow scientists to isolate the effects of specific genes. For cognition studies, researchers have relied largely on primates and, more recently, rats, which I use in my own work.

Kafka’s Remarkable Letter to His Abusive and Narcissistic Father
Franz Kafka was one of history’s most prolific and expressive practitioners of what Virginia Woolf called “the humane art.” Among the hundreds of epistles he penned during his short life were his beautiful and heartbreaking love letters and his magnificent missive to a childhood friend about what books do for the human soul. Although he imbued most with an extraordinary depth of introspective insight and self-revelation, none surpass the 47-page letter he wrote to his father, Hermann, in November of 1919...

Beyond white noise - the multi-coloured rainbow of sound
Most people are familiar with white noise, that static sound of an air conditioner that lulls us to sleep by drowning out any background noise. Except technically, the whirl of a fan or hum of the AC isn’t white noise at all. Many of the sounds we associate with white noise are actually pink noise, or brown, or green, or blue. In audio engineering, there’s a whole rainbow of noise colors, each with its own unique properties, that are used to produce music, help relaxation, and describe natural rhythms like the human heartbeat. If you know what to look for, you can start to notice the colors of the noise that make up the soundscape around us.

How India deludes itself that caste discrimination is dead
In October 2016, a young man walked into a flour mill in Uttarakhand, a state of northern India where the mist-wrapped mountains of the outer Himalayas begin. He was Dalit (Sanskrit for broken, scattered, downtrodden), a relatively recent collective identity claimed by communities across the nation that are considered untouchable in the caste system.

Ancient stone carvings confirm that a comet struck the Earth around 11,000BC, a devastating event which wiped out woolly mammoths and sparked the rise of civilisations. Experts at the University of Edinburgh analysed mysterious symbols carved onto stone pillars at Gobekli Tepe in southern Turkey, to find out if they could be linked to constellations.
