2015: The Best Year in History for the Average Human Being
Violence dominated the headlines this year. But by many measures, humanity is in better shape than it’s ever been.

It has also been the hottest since measurments started.
Is there a correlation?

Scuba diver's camera washes up three years after she lost it and 600 miles away - and it still works

That is a most remarkable story. The cold water must have helped the batteries maintain their charge.

Thanks for sharing.

What do you give a country that has 188,000 lakes for a birthday present? Its highest mountain back, obviously.

Norway’s government has confirmed that for the centenary of Finland’s independence next year it is considering moving the border, gifting its Nordic neighbour a mountain peak that would be the country’s highest point.

Nothing beats a good cheer 1st thing in the morning.

Praise for "Pip"

Reminds me of my time on the Underground with a laughing box in my pocket. Great to see people smiling in the morning as most commuting is not much fun.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2017/01/30/the-aclu-says-it-got-24-million-in-donations-this-weekend-six-times-its-yearly-average/?utm_term=.c57df29f6ca4
In the weeks after the Nov. 8 election, when Donald Trump secured a surprise victory to become president of the United States, the American Civil Liberties Union received so much money in online donations — more than $15 million — that an official with the 100-year-old organization called the flood “unprecedented in our history.”

That was before Trump had even sworn the oath of office.

Eleven days ago he did just that, then spent his first week as president signing executive orders and making good on some of his campaign promises, spurring massive protests across the country and the world — about women’s rights, the environment and what Trump calls his “extreme vetting” of travelers to the U.S. from seven predominantly Muslim nations.

Amid the swift and intense backlash, the ACLU seems once again to be benefiting directly.

This weekend alone, the civil liberties group received more than $24 million in online donations from 356,306 people, a spokesman told The Washington Post early Monday morning, a total that supersedes its annual online donations by six times.
...
Romero told Yahoo News that as of early Sunday evening the ACLU’s membership had more than doubled since the November presidential election, spiking from 400,000 to over a million.

It will be organizations like his, focused on defending civil liberties, that will be at the forefront of the pushback against Trump’s agenda, Romero said.

WASHINGTON – The office of a Missouri congressman says he intends to file a federal lawsuit over the removal of a constituent's painting from its display on Capitol Hill.
