January 31st 1956: A.A. Milne died
On this day in 1956, English author A.A. Milne - famous for the Winnie the Pooh books - died aged 74. Alan Alexander Milne was born in London in 1882. Milne studied mathematics at Cambridge University, and wrote for humorous magazine Punch upon graduating. A pacifist, Milne still joined the army during the First World War, but did not spend long on the front lines due to an illness and instead worked on government propaganda. In the early 1920s, Milne published his first children’s poems, which featured his son Christopher Robin and a talking teddy bear. In 1925, Winnie the Pooh officially debuted in a bedtime story published in the Evening News. It was around this time that Milne moved his family to a cottage at Cotchford Farm in Sussex, which provided the inspiration for the Hundred Acre Wood of the Pooh books. Milne went on to publish two Pooh books between 1926 and 1928, but stopped to shield his son from publicity. The books followed the adventures of Christopher Robin and his animal playmates - including Pooh, Eeyore, Tigger, Kanga, and Piglet - who were inspired by Milne’s son’s stuffed toys. Milne wrote a number of plays and books, but, to his chagrin, these were never as popular as the Pooh books. Indeed, both Milne and his son came to resent the success of the Pooh books, and the unwanted fame they brought to the family. After several years of illness, which confined him to his home, A.A. Milne died in January 1956.
“…wherever they go, and whatever happens to them on the way, in that enchanted place on the top of the Forest, a little boy and his Bear will always be playing.”
- The House at Pooh Corner (1928)

Astrônomo afirma que asteroide atingirá a Terra no dia 16 de fevereiro
No ano passado, a Nasa detectou um objeto, que poderia ser um cometa ou um asteroide, em um caminho para a Terra.
A agência espacial disse que o objeto misterioso passará com segurança ao lado da Terra a uma distância de quase 51 milhões de quilômetros no dia 25 de fevereiro.
Mas um astrônomo russo chegou a uma teoria alternativa, sugerindo que a rocha vai bater na Terra em 16 de fevereiro e desencadear um mega-tsunami, de acordo com relatórios.
O objeto estranho, nomeado 2016 WF9, foi descoberto no ano passado.
O objeto, que é uma linha desfocada entre um asteroide e um cometa, foi descoberto pela missão NEOWISE da Nasa.
Mas o Dr. Dyomin Damir Zakharovich afirma que está indo direto para o nosso planeta.
“O objeto que eles chamam de WF9 deixou o sistema Nibiru em outubro, quando Nibiru começou a girar no sentido anti-horário ao redor do sol”, disse ele.
“Desde então, a Nasa sabe que atingirá a Terra. Mas agora só estão contando para as pessoas”.
“Se o asteroide atingir a Terra, ele diz, poderia destruir cidades ou causar um tsunami. – Estamos todos em perigo”.
A NASA, que negou que as afirmações de que o asteroide atinja a Terra, também descartou desconhecer qualquer detalhe sobre o sistema Nibiru.

January 30th 1948: Gandhi assassinated
On this day in 1948, Indian pacifist and leader of the independence movement, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, was assassinated by Nathuram Godse. Gandhi was famous for his non-violent struggle for Indian independence from British colonial rule, disavowing violence and instead advocating mass civil disobedience to secure India’s independence. For instance, in 1930 he led the Salt March, which saw thousands of protestors defy the British monopoly on salt production by marching to the coastline and producing their own salt. Gandhi’s goal was achieved a year before his death, with Indian independence secured in August 1947. However, in January 1948, he was shot at point-blank range while walking to a platform to address a prayer meeting. The assasin was Nathuram Godse, a Hindu nationalist who believed that Gandhi was sympathetic to Muslims and responsible for weakening India by insisting on payment to Pakistan. Gandhi was mourned across India and throughout the world, with thousands flocking to his funeral. He remains a revered figure today, honoured in India as ‘Father of the Nation’ and respectfully referred to as ‘Mahatma’ (’Great Soul’) and ‘Bapu’ (’father’).

How Misconceptions Get Started
It isn’t true that most people only use 10% of their brain. This myth dates back to around 1900, when psychologist William James wrote that he doubted that average persons reach more than 10% of their intellectual potential. James never equated intellectual potential to what portion of the brain was engaged, someone else did that for him! Lowell Thomas, an American writer and broadcaster, implied in 1936 that William James had said humans use just 10% of their brain. And a legend was born.

January 29th 1941: Ioannis Metaxas died
On this day in 1941, Greek dictator Ioannis Metaxas died in Athens aged 69. Born in Ithaca in 1871, Metaxas joined the army and served in the 1897 Greco-Turkish War and in the Balkan Wars from 1912-13, becoming a general in 1916. Due to his staunch monarchism, the general was briefly exiled after the monarchy was deposed in 1917, but returned upon restoration in 1920. After the monarchy was deposed again in 1923, Metaxas entered politics as a loyalist and received strong electoral support. His loyalty was rewarded, as upon the restoration of the monarchy, Metaxas was appointed to a ministerial position, and then premier in April 1936. However, soon into his premiership, Metaxas dissolved Parliament and began a dictatorship - known as the Fourth of August regime - which was authorised by the monarch. Metaxas intended to create a new Greek civilisation to emulate the glory of ancient Greece, but instead his regime was fascistic and fiercely repressive of political dissent. Metaxas is best known for his refusal to allow Benito Mussolini’s troops occupy Greece in 1940. Metaxas’s defiant ‘ohi’ (’no’) to Mussolini began the Greco-Italian War, and the general lead the small Greek army to victory, making the dictator a popular figure in Greece. Metaxas’s sudden death in 1941 was shrouded in mystery, as while the official cause of death was septicemia, rumours abounded that he had been assassinated by the British. Metaxas was replaced by Alexandros Koryzis, who had to deal with the German invasion and ultimately committed suicide in April 1941 as German troops marched on Athens. While he ruled with an iron fist, and is reviled by many for his fascist sympathies, Ioannis Metaxas was hailed as a Greek national hero for his successful defence of Greece during the Second World War.

When Greece Became Greece
Mainland Greece was living in small settlements of mud-brick houses, while Crete housed a sophisticated civilization we call the Minoans. They had skilled artisans and craftsmen who traded widely in the Aegean, Mediterranean, and sometimes beyond. They built palaces ruled by kings. They wrote in what we today call Linear A. Greece itself was a backwater, the recipient of traded goods but not their creator. Then around 1,600 BCE, the mainlanders suddenly began creating almost unimaginable treasures in their newly-lavish tombs. A light had turned on.
Mainlanders’ population swelled; settlements grew in size, number, and apparent wealth. During this time, elites began creating the first inklings of something beyond minor regional chiefdoms. The mainland of Greece was at the start of what would become a palatial civilization in about 100 years. One way we know this is what they left behind: ruling elites became more cosmopolitan with more diverse and lavish goods in their tombs. Their grave goods showed their increased reach and power. These were who we would come to call the Myceneans of Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey.

| Folhas de louro são fáceis de achar, você pode encontrar até em supermercados. Já que folhas de louro também são ótimos temperos. |
O ingrediente principal desta simpatia é a folha de louro, que simboliza vitória sobre as adversidades.
Material necessário:
- 7 folhas de louro (pode ser mais, se desejar pegue 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, sempre múltiplos de 7)
- Um pedaço de pano (pode ser branco ou qualquer cor clara, evite cores escuras, principalmente preto, não tem problema se tiver estampas).
Você irá pegar e envolver com o pano as folhas de louro, se desejar pode costurar, mas dobrando bem não tem problema. Feito isso, coloque dentro do seu travesseiro, dentro da fronha.
Algumas pessoas têm o costume de fazer até um “breve de pano” e costurar dentro de travesseiro, mantendo sempre ali dentro.
Assim, colocado no travesseiro a pessoa sempre que irá dormir estará na sua cabeça recebendo fluídos da folha da vitória, uma força extra para receber energias para a cabeça, que irá lhe ajudar na tomada de decisões e caminhos.
Irá ficar fortalecida na busca do objetivo que tanto deseja.

January 28th 1813: Pride and Prejudice published
On this day in 1813, British author Jane Austen published her novel Pride and Prejudice. Austen, born in Hampshire in 1775, began writing as a teenager. Her brother Henry encouraged her writing talent, and helped negotiate with a publisher to ensure her work would be shared with the public. Jane Austen’s first novel, Sense and Sensibility, was published in 1811. Pride and Prejudice appeared three years later to critical praise, which was particularly important to Austen as she called this novel her ‘own darling child’. Pride and Prejudice tells the story of Elizabeth Bennet, and her relationship with Mr. Darcy. Elizabeth’s father wants her to marry a wealthy man, but the novel focuses on marrying for love rather than due to social pressures. Austen’s later works include Mansfield Park and Emma, solidifying her status as one of Britain’s most prolific and well-loved writers. However, Austen published her work anonymously, so she was not a household name during her lifetime. Jane Austen died in 1817, two hundred years ago, aged 41. She left two novels - Persuasion and Northanger Abbey - which were published posthumously. Jane Austen’s novels are still enjoyed today for their witty insight into social mores in eighteenth century England.

In the week since President Donald Trump took the oath of office, scientists have taken to social media en masse, decrying the new administration’s plan to dismantle climate regulations, reports that the administration has censored government scientists’ speech and the coining of the term “alternative facts.”
But Michael Eisen, a geneticist at the University of California, Berkeley, thinks that the situation requires more drastic action. So on 25 January, he announced on Twitter that he will run for US Senate in 2018.
Eisen, who is best known as an advocate for free access to scientific publications and as co-founder of the Public Library of Science (PLoS) journals, may have a viable path to elected office. Dianne Feinstein, the 83-year-old senator from his state, California, has indicated that she might not run for re-election in 2018.
Nature caught up with Eisen to ask him about his plans. This interview has been edited for length and clarity.

Nearly 2/3 of military deaths in WWI were in battle. In previous conflicts, most deaths were due to disease.
In light of the recent gag orders on US scientists...
Story time:
I’m a scientist and while I was in undergrad I had an 8 month work term in a laboratory and one time my mom came to pick me up to go home for holidays or whatever and I took her around the lab to see what I was doing and to let her meet my supervisor, who we both love to this day.
The next year I was in a different lab working on a project for my degree and again, mom was coming up and I wanted to show her the lab. I asked my new supervisor for permission because well, its a lab, there are lab and sciency things happening and mom wanted to see the multi-million dollar electron microscopes I was using. You try to restrict people that don’t know what they are doing from the environment because there are many dangers, chemicals, machines, expensive equipment etc plus it’s just polite. I made sure to tell him she wouldn’t touch anything
Well he said something to me that I always think about and that I think is relevant. He said (or or less):
“I’m paid by tax payers, this research is mostly tax payer funded. Of course you can bring you mom in because she pays taxes and should know what she pays for.” For him it wasn’t even a question of if I was allowed to, it was silly, it was of course she can come and see the lab!
Now that does not mean just anyone can or should be able to walk in and take a look around. It’s a dangerous environment if you don’t know what you are doing and obviously I was there to ensure she didn’t touch anything.
But the message stuck with me during all my research, which has been mostly tax payer funded (government funding for stipend and grants and PI’s paid from government funded unis, etc).
The tax payers pay for (a lot of) scientific research. They should be allowed to know what is going on and (figuratively) see into the work spaces they are paying for. That supervisor also said that the more the tax payers understand about research the more they will want to fund it and the better society will be.
When someone is trying to block the results or data that the tax payers pay for, that is not good. It’s blocking transparently into what the government is doing with your money. The money you pay in taxes. It also makes it easy for them to defund important research because if the ‘common people’ aka tax payers can’t see where that money is going they won’t support it which in turn allows the government to feel it can get away with reducing funding to researchers.

January 27th 1945: Liberation of Auschwitz
On this day in 1945, the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in Poland was liberated by the Soviet Red Army. One of the most notorious camps of Nazi Germany, Jews and others persecuted by the Nazi regime were sent to Auschwitz from 1940 onwards. During its years in operation, over one million people died in Auschwitz, either from murder in the gas chambers or due to starvation and disease. As the war drew to a close and the Nazis steadily lost ground to the Allied forces, they began evacuating the camps and destroying evidence of the war crimes and crimes against humanity committed there. The leader of the SS, Heinrich Himmler, ordered the evacuation of the remaining prisoners at the camp as the Soviet Red Army closed in on the area. Nearly 60,000 prisoners from Auschwitz were forced on a march toward Wodzisław Śląski (Loslau) where they would be sent to other camps; some 20,000 ended up in the Bergen-Belsen camp in Germany. However, thousands died during the evacuation on the grueling marches, leading to them being called ‘death marches’. 7,500 weak and sick prisoners remained in Auschwitz, and they were liberated by the 322nd Rifle Division of the Soviet Red Army on January 27th 1945. Auschwitz remains one of the most powerful symbols of the Holocaust and the horrific crimes committed by the Nazi regime against Jews and numerous other groups.

January 26th 1950: Indian Constitution enacted
On this day in 1950, the Indian Constitution came into effect, thus founding the Republic of India. The struggle for independence from British colonial rule had been ongoing for many years, characterised by the non-violent resistance led by Mohandas Gandhi. In 1947, these efforts came to fruition, with the Partition of India creating the two independent nations of India and Pakistan. However, the transition to independence was not a smooth one, and religious violence was commonplace in the years after partition. In an effort to stabilise the new Indian state, the India Constituent Assembly adopted a new constitution in 1949. It was decided that the constitution would be enacted on January 26th to commemorate the 1930 Declaration of Independence on the same day, which resolved the Indian parliament to fight for self-rule. The 448-article document provided for a government based on the British parliamentary system, with elections every five years, and enshrined the principles of universal adult suffrage and equality. Unlike Britain, India was to be a republic, with a President holding a ceremonial head of state role. The new republic’s first President was Rajendra Prasad. Jawaharlal Nehru served as Indian Prime Minister until his death in 1964, having led the nation through a very turbulent time, and was succeeded by Lal Bahadur Shastri. Nehru’s daughter, the famous Indira Gandhi, went on to become a four-term Prime Minister. This day is commemorated in India every year as Republic Day.
