Fun trivia- what is a 'Google doodle'?
On certain occasions, the logo on Google's webpage will change to a special version, known as a "Google Doodle". Clicking on the Doodle links to a string of Google search results about the topic. The first was a reference to the Burning Man Festival in 1998, and others have been produced for the birthdays of notable people like Albert Einstein, historical events like the interlocking Lego block's 50th anniversary and holidays like Valentine's Day.
Here is the latest doodle..in commemoration of Confucius, the great chinese philosopher.

Diamonds 'may be the ultimate MRI probe'
Diamonds are a woman's best friend, they say. Now, a new study has claimed that the gems may soon turn out to be a patient's best
friend as well.
An international team, led by scientists from Harvard University, has carried out the study and found that diamond, formed of pure carbon, occasionally has minute imperfections within its crystalline lattice.
A common impurity is a "nitrogen vacancy", in which two carbon atoms are replaced by a single atom of nitrogen, leaving the other carbon atom space vacant. Nitrogen vacancies are in part responsible for diamond's famed luster, for they are actually fluorescent.
According to the scientists, the slight variations in this fluorescence can be used to determine the magnetic spin of a single electron in the nitrogen. Spin's quantum property that has a value of either "up" or "down", and therefore could represent one or zero in binary computation.
The team's recent achievement was to transfer this quantum information repeatedly between the nitrogen electron and the nuclei of adjacent carbon atoms, forming a small circuit capable of logic operations.
Reading a quantum bit's spin information--a fundamental task for a quantum computer--has been a daunting challenge, but the team demonstrated that by transferring the information back and forth between the electron and the nuclei, the information could be amplified, making it much easier to read.

Laws that choke creativity- TED talks(This one is thought provoking!Must watch)
This is really awesome! Something that should be looked into seriously by Authorities. The Freedom of Speech, that the young generation wants, is fueled by digital technologies. And sooner or later, we have to realize, the more we supress this with meaningless laws, the more we see these kind of things. A fair law system has to come, that will let unleash full potential of this generation.

The State of Cancer - TIME
via time.com
A confounding thing about cancer is that it's actually many diseases, which makes prognosis and prevention variable. All this makes keeping track of cancer stats tricky, but trends emerge from the numerical noise.
Wouldn’t surprise me if Steve Jobs had this on his bedroom wall.
