Headline Tag: Japan Rating: Amazing Hits: 1212 Comments: 5 World's Scariest Drug World's Scariest Drug VICE's Ryan Duffy went to Colombia to check out a strange and powerful drug called Scopolamine, also known as "The Devil's Breath." It's a substance so intense that it renders a person incapable of exercising free will. The first few days in the country were a harrowing montage of freaked-out dealers and unimaginable horror stories about Scopolamine. After meeting only a few people with firsthand experience, the story took a far darker turn than we ever could have imagined. User: reacharoundher May 15, 2012 6:17 PM
Unmoderated Tag: Reference Rating: No Votes Hits: 92 Comments: 4 Download All of Wikipedia Download All of Wikipedia If you’d like to read Wikipedia in an airplane (of the offline variety) or in an area with no or limited connectivity, or install it in a university, or just to have it handy in case of a zombie apocalypse, you can now download a full text copy of the English Wikipedia (from January 2012) in the convenient OpenZIM format, which was specifically developed for sharing wiki content. OpenZIM files can be read in multiple reader applications, the most popular of which is Kiwix, available for Mac, Windows, Linux, and Sugar. Start your BitTorrent client and grab a copy of the 9.7GB file (.torrent link, other download options). You can also download content packages directly from within Kiwix using its library feature, including content from sister projects like Wiktionary and Wikisource, as well as non-Wikimedia content.

Headline Tag: Japan Rating: Amazing Hits: 1548 Comments: 3 Japan Earthquakes Visualized Japan Earthquakes Visualized Japan earthquakes 2011 Visualization map This truly impressive video uses data from the USGS to display earthquake activity in and around Japan during the year 2011. In a tour de force of graphic design, the video incorporates information on date, location, magnitude, and depth, plus a linear graph of total number of quakes. My recommendations: don't just skip ahead to March 11 - wait for it. Fullscreen is better (icon far bottom right corner for those who were not previously familiar with it). And, crank up the sound, which is used as vehicle to present information. The take-home point, in my view, is not so much the magnitude of the big one, but the jaw-dropping frequency of the subsequent aftershocks. -TYWKIWDBI Blog User: BattleShip_Ron Feb 4, 2012 11:54 AM
