...knowledge and godliness,” as Harvard’s first charter instructed. The display’s artifacts were grouped thematically: “Literacy and the Indian College” recalled that the Indian College also housed the continent’s first printing press. The metal print-type pieces were later matched by researchers to the Eliot Bible, an Algonquian-language text and the first Bible printed on North American soil. The press remained as the building’s sole occupant after the college closed in 1771. In “Social Status: Divided...
...took place early Tuesday morning in Paris and in four other sites in France. A total of 20 people were arrested, and by mid-day 10 of those had been officially placed under investigation for participating in the spree of potentially deadly sabotage. In most of those incidents, hooked metal bars had been attached to high-voltage electricity lines that power high-speed trains; when the bars were snagged by passing locomotives, they plowed a path of destruction through high-voltage power lines. A total of six incidents of sabotage were recorded since Oct. 26, including a coordinated operation...

In rural China, 15.4 million homes convert methane into power from what normally went down the pit behind the house. Household waste is stored in a state-subsidized "digester," a kind of metal stomach that breaks down the matter and releases methane gas which is trapped for reuse. In the French city of Lille, a small fleet of ten buses are also using methane, gleaned from the city's poop. And in some Indian villages, simple latrines have been built that separate waste...
