Intuition, or tacit knowledge, is difficult to measure, so it is often denigrated. A new dissertation in education research from Link?ping University in Sweden shows that there is a neurobiological explanation for how experience-based knowledge is created.
Capturing and storing carbon dioxide (CCS) is predicted to be one of the most important measures to counter the threats to our climate. But the technology still hasn’t been tested in full scale, and the complications and risks it…

Would it surprise anyone to learn that there were upwards of 150, 000 soldiers of partial Jewish descent serving in the Nazi army during World War II?
The common public notion is that no one of Jewish descent would have ever been allowed to serve in the Nazi regime and, if discovered, would be immediately deported to a forced labor or extermination/concentration camp. This was not the case. The…

To prove to everyone that Wanted is the perfect adaptation of the comic, we went to creator, Mark Millar, and asked him a few brief questions to settle any disputes. His answers were exactly what we thought he’d say - Millar has been involved from the start and made sure Wanted was the proper adaptation of the comic.
Alex, have you read the comic?I really doubt you would love the movie so much if you had read the book. And you keep saying how violent the book is but the movie is pretty violent as well.I don't care what Millar says. He has to say those…

The Stan Lee (who’s always cool) and Lou Ferrigno cameos were a lot of fun. And you can’t forget Tony Stark/Iron Man at the end! Sweeeet! A lot of people said they didn’t like how it ended: that…

The Vatican has banned the makers of Angels & Demons, the latest Dan Brown thriller to be filmed, from shooting scenes not only in the Vatican but in any church in Rome on the ground that it is “an offence against God” and “wounds common religious feelings”.
Bottom Line: it’s a book written (and movie made) for the sole purpose of maligning Christianity for enjoyment of non-Christians. If the author and movie makes aren’t accurate in their portrayal of the Catholic Church…

Im thrilled to have this guest post from Josh Waitzkin, author of The Art of Learning, and the subject of the book and movie, Searching for Bobby Fischer. An eight-time National Chess Champion in his youth, he is now a martial arts champion, holding a combined 21 National titles in addition to several World Championships.
There is no way we can focus intensely on something for many hours in a row without burning out. The human mind thrives in an oscillatory rhythm. We need to pulse between stress and recovery in order to think creatively over long periods of time….

Seems that Let’s Bible isn’t some wacked-out comic book version of the New Testament though it does borrow more than a few characters from it, including Jesus Christ him-, uh, herself - sporting an unexpectedly sexy new look. That, and a rack that would make Pam Anderson drool.
And so their adventure begins - punctuated by epic battles between the forces of good and evil, guest appearances by the 12 apostles, and a scene where Nazareth gets her boob squeezed. Then things start getting weird.The Father, the Son… and…
Harrison Ford has played an endless string of studly characters over the years, but none more dashing than Indiana Jones. What exactly is it about Indy that drives women wild? Is it the bull whip? the hat? the ability to dodge rolling boulders? More importantly, what can we learn from his success to increase our own luck with the ladies?
A recent Gallup poll showed that the extraordinarily popular Dangerous Book for Boys? was one of the top choices purchases by women for the man in their life last year, whether hes 13 or 30. One woman states, Every female loves a man…

Distributing to classrooms with teaching kits? What!
That is not what the interview was about. And neither is the film, now called Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. The subtitle exposes its motif—intelligent design has been expelled from classrooms and culture, and Ben Stein sees a…
