- Vertical farming: does it really stack up?
- I recently read the book discussed quite a bit in this article entitled The Vertical Farm. Some interesting ideas, but that author was too optimistic for my liking. This article seems a little more reasonable.
- Where Is Women's Intuition? Women don't have more empathic ability; they just try harder.
- Basically they seem to be arguing that the existance of this sort of thing is typically due to stereotypes rather than any innate ability - kinda like some of the arguments seen with women and math.
- Why I'd rather my daughter marry a rich man than have a brilliant career: The new breed of intelligent, jet-set housewives really do seem to have it all...
- When she has both cleaning staff and a nanny to take care of the kids and doesn't hold down any kind of job, can one really call a women a housewife? Should she (as the article helpfully notes is an option available to her if she gets bored) be entitled by half her husband's assets after she initiates a divorce (barring some demonstrable cause rather than "irreconcilable differences")?
- Curt “Voice” Allen Raps the Heidelberg Catechism
- I found the quote in this article from the book that inspired this challenge to be worth a little pondering: "I freely confess I love the Heidelberg Catechism. I love it because it’s old, it’s biblical, and it’s true. It’s not perfect. It’s not infallible. It says too little about some subjects and too much about some others. But it is through and through trustworthy and beautiful, simple and deep. Most of all, I love the Heidelberg Catechism because I love the gospel it expounds and the salvation it proclaims."
