Cholesterol: Friend or Foe?
Everything you’ve ever wondered about cholesterol and more, the good and the bad. This is an A+ video produced by Perrin Ireland and written and narrated by Jeanne Garbarino.
The full text of the video is here at Scientific American.
Ridiculous footage of the March Japanese Earthquake:
Yu Muroga was doing his job making deliveries when the 11 March 2011 earthquake hit in Japan. Unaware, like many people in the area, of how far inland the Tsunami would travel, he continued to drive and do his job. The HD camera mounted on his dashboard captured not only the earthquake, but also the moment he and several other drivers were suddenly engulfed in the Tsunami. He escaped from the vehicle seconds before it was crushed by other debris and sunk underwater. His car and the camera have only recently been recovered by the police. The camera was heavily damaged but a video expert was able to retrieve this footage.

Star Trek vs. Star Wars (by WilliamShatner) #StarWars #StarTrek
I love them both, but I will have to disagree with William Shatner here. Star Wars is not derivative of Star Trek. Sure there are some influences, but there are influences from many works and genres present. Also ILM worked on every Star Trek film (and I believe TV series) to some degree from at least Wrath of Khan going forward (I can’t speak to the JJ Abrams’ 2009 remake and ILM may have been absent for Star Trek V).
That said, I think even Shatner knows he is just being a goofball here in this interview.
