Now there's a cool use for Bic pens. :) I drove our daughter to the doctor yesterday & after blowing a lot of time, money for fuel, money for snacks, & the $160+ doctor bill, it turns out it was all for nothing. You think they'd at least return half our money or something. They literally did NOTHING. It would be like going to the doctor to have stitches removed only to find that they had all fallen out on their own already. Not a single stitch left, nothing. They looked, they said there was nothing to do, & it was over. It cost me over $200 to leave the house yesterday + time & they only looked & said; "They fell out already, go home." Other than the expensive 'for nothing' trip to the doctor, yesterday went well. I finished everything, went on a public assist call, & all went well. Princeton's Centennial celebration is tonight from 6-10!

Certain houseplants - specifically the spider plant, English ivy, & dracaena - are effective at removing toxic substances from the air. True or false?
True but only sorta true. NASA scientists in the 1980s tested this hypothesis by putting plants & pollutants together in sealed containers. They measured marked reductions in gasses, including formaldehyde, benzene, & carbon dioxide.
Unfortunately, the sealed environment is central to the effect. Open a window, & the impressive results fly out of it. As skeptics have pointed out, it would probably take hundreds of plants to refresh the air as well as proper ventilation does.
Indoor air pollution is in large part caused by "outgassing," the release of toxic substances by a host of common products. From plywood to permanent-press fabrics, many furnishings of daily life consistently exude unhealthy chemicals such as formaldehyde, xylene, toluene, ammonia, & benzene. Plants can remove small quantities of these from the air, but they connot stop the outgassing itself. Score another point for natural fibers.
Delay of 10 - 15 minutes (sometimes 30 minutes or even more) is fine for fluid gatherings where people are invited to come & go.
Find & remove all standing water. A few flowerpot saucers can produce enough mosquitoes for the whole neighborhood.

Mother is arrested and accused of killing her four children (1989):
Martha Ann Johnson is arrested in Georgia
for the 1982 murder of her oldest child, Jennyann Wright, after an
Atlanta newspaper initiated a new investigation into her suspicious
death. Johnson's three other children had also mysteriously died between
1977 and 1982.
Back in September 1977, Johnson (who was only 21 at the time) and her third husband, Earl Bowen, lived with Johnson's kids, Jennyann Wright and James Taylor, from her previous marriages. Shortly after a dispute in which Bowen walked out on Johnson, two-year-old James was brought to the hospital and pronounced dead. The doctors ruled the cause of death to be sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
In the wake of the tragedy, Bowen returned home and the couple reconciled, having two additional children, Earl Jr. and Tibitha. But in 1980, after Bowen took off again, three-month-old Tibitha was found dead--reportedly the result of SIDS once again. Although Bowen was suspicious, he returned home, where he remained until another fight separated the couple. This time, little Earl was stricken with an unknown seizure disorder and died. Jennyann told social workers that she was afraid of her mother, but the authorities sent her home anyway. A year later, she was dead too--asphyxiated from an undetermined cause.
In 1989, after she split from Bowen for good and married her fourth husband, Johnson was arrested. She quickly confessed that she had smothered Jennyann and James as they slept by sitting on them (she weighed more than 250 pounds), but denied responsibility for the other two deaths. She admitted that her motive was to reunite with Bowen. At her trial, which began in 1990, she recanted her confession, but the jury was able to watch it on videotape nevertheless. They convicted Johnson of first-degree murder.
Johnson's case initiated a trend in the 1990s in which authorities looked more closely into the sudden deaths of young children. Many doctors have insisted that SIDS has been misdiagnosed in a multitude of cases.

Sciential:
1: Relating to or producing knowledge or science. 2: Having efficient knowledge : capable.
Critics of the research project have questioned whether it has a sciential function at all.
You might expect "sciential," which derives from Latin scientia (meaning "knowledge"), to be used mostly in technical papers & descriptions of scientific experiments. In truth, however, "sciential" has long been a favorite of playwrights & poets. It appears in the works of Ben Jonson, John Milton, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, & John Keats, among others. Keats made particularly lyrical use of it in his narrative poem "Lamia," which depicts a doomed love affair between the Greek sorceress Lamia & a human named Lycius. In the poem, Hermes transforms Lamia from a serpent into a beautiful woman, "Not 1 hour old, yet of sciential brain."

Shadow dropped in to visit his friend Captain Frank & found
him sleeping on his couch. There was fresh blood on the ceiling above
his head, but nowhere else in the room. Shadow anxiously woke him to
check his condition only to find that everything was fine. How could
Captain Frank's blood be on the ceiling but nowhere else?
Captain Frank had swatted a mosquito that had been feasting on him while he tried to sleep.
Sid Shady asked his wife to accompany him to a war movie being featured that night. During a scene when grenades were exploding & gun were firing, Shady decided the time was right, he pulled out a gun & shot his wife. He then took her out of the theater without anyone trying to stop him. Why not?
