As part of the BBC Superpower season, two families in the most connected city in the world, Seoul, were disconnected from their laptops. Here is a picture of them as they are reconnected, but the dog steals the show. More info here www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/specialreports/2010/01/100129_...

Developed as part of a top-secret government project, Jaime was put up for adoption after researchers only managed to give superpowers to parts of her.
If you think her super-speed face is cool, you should see what she can do with her tail.

I began taking these omega fatty acid supplements awhile back in an undoubtedly futile attempt to stave off baldness. While their effects in that department are still an open question, about a month after starting them my hair suddenly got all wavy -- even curly in places. I now have this weird "Superman curl" in the middle of my forehead.
I'm enjoying this while it lasts, since I'll probably look more like Lex Luthor by the time I hit 40.

How to Con a Superpower and Make the Media Your Accomplice

The idea of a proxy war is fairly basic, and you don’t need to have a degree in International Studies to grasp the concept. You’re the U.S., Russia or China, and you back a side fighting a civil war or insurrection in a foreign country, supplying arms, military advisors, whatever’s needed. Syria comes to mind. Then there’s hybrid war, which uses a combination of conventional military resources with propaganda, cyber-attacks and proxies. Russia has used all of these in Ukraine, backing its separatist elements.
What is truly scary about Ethiopia is that maybe in the first time in history, the tangible stakes for a war happening in the real world might be decided, or at least severely affected, by the narrative progressing on the digital battlefield.
The Russians screwed with perception in terms of Ukraine, but ultimately what decided things in the real world was still military might. But in Ethiopia, the federal army crushed the conventional forces of the TPLF and humiliated their supposedly “battle-hardened troops” in under a month. And yet as we all know, the digital warriors — or, as I like to call them now, the Zombie Army (rising from Debretsion Gebremichael pathetically flat-line remnants) — insist that the conflict isn’t over.
In this horrible scenario where a nation’s fate is at risk, a terrorist oligarchy is using the United States and EU as its proxies.

I'm halfway through Kenneth G. Henshall's "A History of Japan - From Stone Age to Superpower". This was actually my sister's textbook for her Japanese Civilization class when she was studying in Wharton Business School. I don't usually read books like these, but this is really interesting. I like history, I like Japan, I like war stories. This is a mix of everything. My sister's book is filled with highlighted text with bits of explanations and little Post-It notes all over the pages; gets a little irritating, but it makes me understand some parts of the book a whole lot more :)
Superpowers I'd like to have

Author and consultant to the Obama campaign, Parag says a new world order is taking shape, with three superpowers - the U.S., China and the European Union. But that's not all. Along with the three superpowers, Parag says another movement is emerging. He calls it 'The Second World' - countries like Uzbekistan, Venezuela and Saudi Arabia, who are between the rich and powerful 'first world,' and the underdeveloped 'third world.' Parag says they're shrewd, savvy and they just might hold the balance of power. 'The Second World' - by the way - is also the name of Parag's new book.
