Pope

Papal step down stories: boring.  A much more interesting, and real, step down: Clay Morrow on Sons of Anarchy.  

So, does Benedict have to black out his Papal tattoos too?

"You think I planned this whole thing? Come on man, you give me way to much credit.  I ain't Pope, I'm just a mechanic, looking out for my family."

-- Jax, after bringing down Pope and Clay Morrow, in Sons of Anarchy Season 5 Finale

Misguided Nostalgia for Our Paleo Pasts - The Chronicle Review - The Chronicle of Higher Education

http://chronicle.com/article/Misguided-Nostalgia-for-Our/137285/

To think of ourselves as misfits in our own time and of our own making
flatly contradicts what we now understand about the way evolution
works—namely, that rate matters. That evolution can be fast, slow, or
in-between, and understanding what makes the difference is far more
enlightening, and exciting, than holding our flabby modern selves up
against a vision—accurate or not—of our well-muscled and harmoniously
adapted ancestors.

Sunday Morning: Stanza II Summary

http://www.shmoop.com/sunday-morning-stevens/stanza-2-summary.html

Divinity must live within herself:

Passions of rain, or moods in falling snow;

Grievings in loneliness, or unsubdued

Elations when the forest blooms; gusty

Emotions on wet roads on autumn nights;

All pleasures and all pains, remembering

The bough of summer and the winter branch.

Human heart development slower than other mammals - News releases - News - The University of Sheffield

http://www.sheffield.ac.uk/news/nr/human-heart-development-slower-than-other-mammals-1.255355

"Foetal hearts in other mammals such as pigs, which we have been using as models, show such an organisation even early in gestation, with a smooth change in cell orientation going through the heart wall. But what we actually found is that such organisation was not detectable in the human foetus before 20 weeks," she said.
