This Hilariously Enormous Infographic Shows That Sharks Don't Kill You, You Kill Sharks. Despite their reputation as the ocean’s most deadly creature, sharks may have to cede that title to a creature that doesn’t even live there--humans. Consider the following facts: sharks kill just a handful of humans every year. Humans, on the other hand, kill tens of thousands of sharks every hour, or about 100 million per year, as a study published this March revealed. That information is convincingly displayed in an infographic collaboration between content marketer Joe Chernov and the design studio Ripetungi. According to the project’s page, many of the sharks are killed through the gruesome process of "finning"--where fishermen hunt a shark, detach its fin, and discard the rest of the body in the ocean. Are you worried about getting eaten by sharks?
There are 39 species of sharks that are now threatened around the world. News is bad for you – and giving up reading it will make you happier | Media. In the past few decades, the fortunate among us have recognised the hazards of living with an overabundance of food (obesity, diabetes) and have started to change our diets. But most of us do not yet understand that news is to the mind what sugar is to the body. News is easy to digest. The media feeds us small bites of trivial matter, tidbits that don't really concern our lives and don't require thinking. That's why we experience almost no saturation. Unlike reading books and long magazine articles (which require thinking), we can swallow limitless quantities of news flashes, which are bright-coloured candies for the mind.
News misleads. We are not rational enough to be exposed to the press. News is irrelevant. News has no explanatory power. News is toxic to your body. News increases cognitive errors. News inhibits thinking. News works like a drug. News wastes time. News makes us passive. News kills creativity. Society needs journalism – but in a different way.

Un collier qui envoie des SMS au berger quand les loups se pointent. Jeudi 9 août Buzz - 9 août 2012 :: 13:24 :: Par Nicolas-Lecointre Des biologistes suisses viennent de mettre au point un moyen imparable permettant de faire prendre connaissance aux bergers de possibles attaques de loups sur leurs troupeaux. Des biologistes suisses viennent de mettre au point un dispositif permettant de faire prendre connaissance aux bergers de possibles attaques de loups sur leurs troupeaux. Le système, qui se présente sous la forme d’un collier que l’on attache au cou des moutons, analyse la fréquence cardiaque de l’animal, et en cas de brusque changement de rythme, est capable d’envoyer des SMS à leur propriétaire tout en dégageant un produit répulsif. Pour l’instant en phase préliminaire de développement, le collier a été testé sur un panel de 12 moutons, que l’équipe de Jean-Marc Landry — du groupe de recherche Kora — a placé face à des prédateurs.

It was an installation in which water poured from the ceiling, but sensors detected where people were standing and would turn off the taps above their heads so they didn’t get wet. It was a clever and engaging piece of interactive art and was immensely popular. During the time this installation was open, my Twitter stream was filled with photos of people standing in the Rain Room, accompanied by the caption ‘Rain Room @ The Barbican!’
And a location attachment to prove that they were indeed in the Rain Room. This stream of homogenous photos got me thinking. I’ve just spent a month in Singapore. It’s natural to want to share experiences with the people you care about. There are plenty of ‘Facebook is bad for you because X’ posts, but I’m talking about a mindset that goes beyond any single web service.
