The dangers of festive over-indulgence – UnHerd
In the US, he says, “most of our annual weight gain occurs during the six-week holiday feasting period between Thanksgiving and the new year, and … this extra weight tends to stick with us after the holidays are over.” We don’t have to worry about Thanksgiving over here, but there are three other days — Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve — that are, Guyenet says, “the definition of overeating”. And that’s true in the UK, just as much as in the States.
Luna
Some amazing pictures of The Moon this evening, taken using the Nikon Coolpix P1000. That’s some serious zoom.
Bugs
One of the very few things I will miss about Facebook is the NZ Bug Identification group that I helped to run. I’ve always enjoyed the insect & arachnid world, and have become quite good at identifying the New Zealand varieties.
Some of the group members are pretty amazing photographers, so a while back I set up a public website dedicated to showcasing some of the stunning photography.
If you like critters, go and have a look at https://www.nzbugs.org/.
