Η ΓΝΩΣΗ ΤΗΣ ΣΤΟ ΣΧΟΛΕΙΟ ΚΑΙ ΠΕΡΑ ΑΠΟ ΑΥΤΟ
I didn't expect to like this scooter as much as I do. The "damping suspension" looked gimmicky, like a potential failure point, and maybe even a little excessive in the flashy department. I figured it would be another scooter I'd test for a bit before going back to my long-range missile of a scooter.

With retail prices starting under 20 bucks, and a sleek, simple combination of wood handle, hard steel blade and no-fuss twisting ring locks, Opinel knives are one of the true ageless classics of the folding knife market. This year, though, the Opinel lineup has gotten a new twist ... or lack thereof. The all-new Néo6 knife carries the same sleek, timeless look but trades out the ring lock for a new non-locking slip joint designed to deliver stable blade performance without locking in.

Screw it atop a gas canister and it fires out 2,600 watts of flame to cook up backcountry meals for one or two people.

Some things we eat or drink raise our risk of deadly diseases like heart disease or cancer. But, strangely, a recent paper argues that, once we have those diseases, some of the same factors can show the opposite association with survival in observational studies. This survival twist – described in the paper as a risk–survival paradox and dubbed “Cuomo’s Paradox” – raises questions about how prevention findings translate to survivorship. It doesn't, by itself, overturn current nutritional guidance.

In a breakthrough study, scientists have transferred a courtship behavior from one species to another, triggering the recipient to perform this completely foreign act as if it was its own. While genes have been swapped between species to influence traits, a totally unknown behavior has never been genetically swapped into a different animal before.
