Below is a roundup of news, politics science, and humor. I hope you enjoy.
Unemployment has kicked in. It helps, but isn't enough. One extra, small source of income is people buying through my Amazon Affiliate store. If you are doing any Amazon shopping, consider doing it through the above link. My best selling items are:
Diatomaceous Earth for effective control of crawling insects, and
The Survival Guide for Kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders (And Their Parents), a book that has helped my son enormously and I think is good for any family dealing with an ASD diagnosis.
And here is what I WANT to be my best seller, a book that pretty much analyzes how Democrats can win across the nation: The Political Brain: The Role of Emotion in Deciding the Fate of the Nation
Second, anyone in the NYC area, if you know someone who needs tutoring or other kinds of help, here is my page on the University Tutor website. I am also available for editing college essays, scientific papers, resumes, etc.
Finally, any scientists out there who need someone to edit a paper, I am freelancing through ScienceDocs.com. Soon will be blogging for them as well!
Sorry for the self-advertising. Now onto the news, science and randomness below...
