EXCERPT: A new international study casts doubt on the leading theory of what causes ice ages around the world -- changes in the way the Earth orbits the sun. The researchers found that glacier movement in the Southern Hemisphere is influenced primarily by sea surface temperature and atmospheric carbon dioxide rather than changes in the Earth's orbit, which are thought to drive the advance and retreat of ice sheets in the Northern Hemisphere....

I admittedly got pulled into playing Simcity Buildit.  Unfortunately I don't have an IPhone/Ipad or or an Android device, so what could I do?

Well there's an Android emulator called Bluestacks that allows you run all the apps in an emulator environment.  Quite handy if you have a desktop and want to check something out without needing a native device to try it on.

It seems to run pretty well considering, however it would be dependent one what computer system it attempts to run on.  (Older hardware might strain a bit)

EXCERPT: Most of us know someone who has been affected adversely by alcohol. With alcoholism on the rise, a new study has found the mammalian bonding hormone oxytocin may be the answer. “We found that oxytocin blocks alcohol’s intoxicating effects and it prevents alcohol from acting at the sites in the brain that are involved in alcohol’s intoxicating effects,”says team member Dr. Michael Bowen, from the University of Sydney’s School of Psychology....

EXCERPT: [...] not only will more people need more food, but the vast majority will be living away from rural agricultural centers. The current agricultural model of large food miles just won't cut it. But what if we could grow our food within or just outside our cities? Obviously, there isn't space in cities for large sprawling farms, but a new idea being led by LED manufacturers proves that food can be grown vertically in warehouses using the bulbs requiring less water and very little energy....
