When research efforts don’t progress as they should, some scientists resort to charms of various kinds. At Mauna Kea’s Subaru Observatory, astronomers use Japanese cloth ghosts.

Last fall, I mentioned the Orion search engine. Yesterday, Google bought Orion.
It rained almost every day in March. It has rained every day except one in April . Rain is expected for at least another week.
Can you say ’saturation’?
It is eating a path through village gardens, and gardeners are furious. ‘Massive’ is one word used to describe it, and ‘brute’ is another.
So far, no one has given it a name.
