About Me

Hello my fellow Politiores Troglodytes. This Blog is a collection of Posts, Poems, & Short Stories that I write on a daily basis. If you find it entertaining, informative, and controversial, then I have done my job properly. Thank goodness too, because Karma has been on my case of late. I'm supposed to bring fifty people into the fold or I'll have to give back the part of Einstein's brain I inherited. No, I'm not one of the Scientists who got a piece of his brain when he died. Karma said, "Eat this knowledge. It'll make you smarter!" The bargain I made with Karma was, if I could change fifty people into Politiores Populos, I would be rewarded with my very own Lamborghini. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Like what you're reading, then read on. P.S. Populo is Latin for people. Politiores is Latin for educated. Troglodytes is English for troglodytes. And Einstein's brain was stolen by Thomas Stoltz Harvey after his death in 1955 and eventually divvied up into 240 pieces. If you just read that last sentence, then you have just learned something and I'm just that much closer to fulfilling my commitment to Karma!

Trying To Learn New Things All The Time

I wrote a Post once,
where I explained,
why I write this Blog.
The Post is called
If you want to understand why I am putting out these
Headlines
and accompanying
Paragraphs,
read that Post
and you will understand.

"Southwest Research Institute's, Dr. Alex Parker, discovers moon over Makemake in the Kuiper Belt"
on EurekAlert.org
San Antonio -- June 27, 2016 -- A Southwest Research Institute-led team has discovered an elusive, dark moon orbiting Makemake, one of the "big four" dwarf planets populating the Kuiper Belt region at the edge of our solar system.

"NASA's IMERG measures deadly West Virginia flooding rainfall"
on EurekAlert.org
At NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, NASA's Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) data were used to create an analysis to estimate rainfall that fell over West Virginia during the period from June 20 through 26, 2016. The IMERG analysis showed that extreme rainfall occasionally occurred during this period in an area extending from Illinois through North Carolina.

"Ancient 'Deep Skull' from Borneo full of surprises"
on EurekAlert.org
Sydney - A new study of the 37,000-year old remains of the "Deep Skull" - the oldest modern human discovered in island South-East Asia - has revealed this ancient person was not related to Indigenous Australians, as had been originally thought.
"Mobile, phone-based microscopes work well in the field with minimal training"
TORONTO, June 27, 2016 - Handheld, mobile phone-based microscopes can be used in developing countries after minimal training of community laboratory technicians to diagnose intestinal parasites quickly and accurately.

"Computer model demonstrates how human spleen filters blood"
on EurekAlert.org
Researchers, led by Carnegie Mellon University President Subra Suresh and MIT Principal Research Scientist Ming Dao, have created a new computer model that shows how tiny slits in the spleen prevent old, diseased or misshapen red blood cells from re-entering the bloodstream. Members of this multidisciplinary team include specialists in mathematics, supercomputing, clinical medicine, engineering and computational biology.


I am positive,
that you can see,
that I have found a new website to go to for my my daily dose of
Scientific News.

This is,
Trying To Learn New Things All The Time,
Jim Hauenstein,

And,

"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more things you learn, the more places you will go."

Those are EurekAlert.org stories and I am trying to read them all!


That is my story and I am sticking to it!
