Tiffany & Co. Creates True Love - Well, On A Website

Jun 01 2011 | comment(s)

Well-known jeweler Tiffany&Co. has introduced a new website and iPhone(R) App for people who fall in love and simply must see other stories about people in love. How well known is Tiffany's? There's the rather famous "Breakfast at Tiffany's", from a novella by Truman Capote that was made into a Blake Edwards film starring Audrey Hepburn, but they likely aren't showing it in the store today because Mickey Rooney's buck-toothed Mr. Yunioshi comes across as racist to a modern crowd.

May 31 2011 | comment(s)

A new study finds that stress does not appear to increase a person's risk of developing multiple sclerosis (MS).

Researchers studied two groups of women nurses from the Nurses' Health Study. The first group of 121,700 nurses between the ages of 30 and 55 were followed starting in 1976. The second group of 116,671 nurses between the ages of 25 and 42 were followed from 1989. Participants were asked to report general stress at home and at work, including physical and sexual abuse in childhood and as teenagers. Of the first group, 77 people developed MS by 2005.

Water Inside The Moon - A Lot Of It

May 30 2011 | comment(s)

There is water inside the moon. A lot, it turns out, according to the first measurements of water in lunar melt inclusions, which show that some parts of the lunar mantle have as much water as the Earth’s upper mantle.

Lunar melt inclusions are tiny globules of molten rock trapped within crystals that are found in volcanic glass deposits formed during explosive eruptions. The new findings show lunar magma water contents are 100 times higher than previous studies have suggested.

Did Global Cooling Drive The Vikings From Greenland?

Contrary to what you might think by the name, Greenland is rather frigid and Iceland is often quite nice. Nice for Vikings, anyway. But for a time Greenland became so miserable even Scandinavians had enough.

Evolutionary Biology Takes On Ayurveda

May 30 2011 | comment(s)

Ayurveda, the most ancient and important system of medicine in India, is important to modern natural medicine proponents(1) because it regards preserving health and curing diseases as fundamental in providing meaning to our lives.

For thousands of years it has been modified based on newer information but efforts have long been made to reconstruct a more authentic version of this treatise and its content and to assess the originality of the different versions of the text, which was written in Sanskrit.
