Albert Camus may have said it best. "Sense of place," he wrote, "is not just something that people know and feel, it is something people do". And that realization brings the whole idea rather firmly down to earth, which is plainly, I think, where a sense of place belongs."

Cambridge students protest against Dominique Strauss-Kahn visit Student protesters fought with police outside the Cambridge Union on Friday as Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the former head of the International Monetary Fund who resigned over allegations that he had sexually assaulted a New York hotel maid, addressed the university's famous debating society. The 62-year-old former French presidential hopeful, invited to speak on the European economy, slipped into the building by a side door and photographers were pushed aside by security guards minutes before up to 200 students arrived at the union building. Protesters claimed inviting Strauss-Kahn to speak at the Cambridge Union could be seen as legitimising sexual violence, while others defended the right to free speech. Demonstrators waving placards reading, "DSK not welcome here", and chanting, "No more violence, no more rape" marched through the city centre before gathering outside the building for speeches. Two people were arrested, one for assaulting a police officer and one for breach of the peace.

29 Incredibly Useful Websites You Wish You Knew Earlier There are so many wonderful websites around, and it is difficult to know each and every one of them. The below list provides some of those websites that I find particularly helpful, even though they are not as famous or as prevalent as some of the big names out there. 1. BugMeNot Wormhole Illusion Causes Magnetic Field To Move Through Space Undetected Scientists have developed a magnetic system that mimics the behavior of a wormhole – theorized to allow space-time to be bent, and vast distances to be traveled in an instant – but it absolutely is not an actual wormhole, so don’t get too excited. However, what they did, which was to make a propagating magnetic field invisible, is actually very interesting. You can get excited again. The research, by a team from the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB), was published in the journal Scientific Reports. They describe how they created a small sphere about 45 millimeters (1.8 inches) across, made of a spherical ferromagnetic (one that can become magnetized) surface, a spherical superconducting layer, and an inner ferromagnetic sheet wound in a spiral. The superconducting layer was made of superconducting strips glued to a sphere, and the entire device needed to be submerged in liquid nitrogen for the superconductor to work.

Top Scottish universities attacked over low numbers of poorest students Student leaders have attacked top Scottish universities for their "awful" record on admitting impoverished students. National Union of Students (NUS) Scotland said several Scottish universities were among the worst in the UK for attracting poorer students. St Andrews University – a popular destination for English public school students after it was attended by Prince William – recruited just 13 people from the most deprived backgrounds, out of 7,370 undergraduates in 2010. The study, compiled using freedom of information requests, found that two other elite universities – Edinburgh and Aberdeen – had only 91 and 51 poor students respectively in 2010, out of total undergraduate numbers of 17,570 and 12,195.

On the Viability of Conspiratorial Beliefs Abstract Conspiratorial ideation is the tendency of individuals to believe that events and power relations are secretly manipulated by certain clandestine groups and organisations. Many of these ostensibly explanatory conjectures are non-falsifiable, lacking in evidence or demonstrably false, yet public acceptance remains high. Efforts to convince the general public of the validity of medical and scientific findings can be hampered by such narratives, which can create the impression of doubt or disagreement in areas where the science is well established. Conversely, historical examples of exposed conspiracies do exist and it may be difficult for people to differentiate between reasonable and dubious assertions.
