That’s not all, though.’

`A 50-year-old Reno man told authorities he castrated himself to lower his libido and learned of the procedure on the Internet, police said. [..]

A Kingston University study discovered the bugs cannot survive in the warm, dry conditions found in an unmade bed.’

I knew it all along. There’s not a single living dust mite in my bed, I’m sure. :)

`The research team used a standing ultrasonic wave to help form and then implode the cavitation bubbles of deuterated acetone vapor. The oscillating sound waves caused the bubbles to expand and then violently collapse, creating strong compression shock waves around and inside the bubbles. Moving at about the speed of sound, the internal shock waves impacted at the center of the bubbles causing very high compression and accompanying temperatures of about 100 million Kelvin.’

`The anguish on the faces of these children is raw; the blood on their clothes is fresh. It is likely their parents’ blood, though many of the details behind this series of photographs remain unknown. [..]
