| [Power] Power can turn men into beasts in a short time. A good example is the New Orleans Super Dome after hurricane Katrina. In just 2 or 3 days society broke down and thugs and the most violent took control and power. After disasters people are united for only a few days then they try to better position themselves for advantage, forgetting that just a few days before they were all ‘brothers’. Then it becomes, “I got mine, where’s yours?” |

| [Euphoria] Getting high without drugs, just exercise. The evolutionary biologist behind that 2012 study about runner’s high in mammals, has suggested that working out at about 70 to 85 percent of your maximum heart rate (there’s a calculator for that based on your age) for at least 45 minutes is ideal for boosting endocannabinoid production. |

 [Smallpox Vaccine] Inoculation had been practiced for centuries in Asia and Africa, and in 1672 it was introduced to Europe from Persia via Istanbul. Pus swabbed from a smallpox sore was deliberately introduced into an open incision on a healthy patient’s arm or thigh. The consequent eruption usually was milder and far less lethal than “natural” infection, although the procedure was risky and could trigger fresh epidemics if those newly inoculated were not isolated. After successful experiments on prisoners and orphans, the British Army inoculated many troops during the Seven Years’ War.Frederick the Great likewise inoculated his Prussian legions. First introduced in America during the Boston smallpox epidemic of 1721, the practice of inoculation was legally restricted in New England because of medical uncertainties and a theological conviction, as the historian Elizabeth A. Fenn would write, that it displayed “a distrust of God’s overruling care.” Few New Englanders had acquired immunity, and colonists elsewhere often could not afford the £3 to £5 cost of inoculation. |
 US ranks first in swearing. Congratulations, United States. The nation may lag behind in healthcare, education, and life expectancy, but Americans still reign supreme in at least one way—swearing like a bunch of drunken sailors. Link |

 Rapunzel let down your golden hair. We all know the fairy tale, but I’ve always wondered how the prince could climb up her long hair. Yesterday after seventy years, I realized that Rapunzel braided her long hair into a ‘rope’. |
