Online course takes beekeeping out of the classroom by Penn State University:
What’s so great about Penn State’s online beekeeping 101 course? Ask Dr. William Stanell and he’ll give you lots of reasons, including the fact that it’s just plain fun! For busy professionals like Stanell, having online access to course instructors provides him with the answers he needs, when he needs them, and the opportunity to take part in new learning experiences.

The History and Future of Everything — Time by Kurzgesagt:
How much time do you have left?
Time makes sense in small pieces. But when you look at huge stretches of time, it’s almost impossible to wrap your head around things. So we teamed up with the awesome blog “Wait but Why” and made this video to help you putting things in perspective with some infographics!
This video has been a collaboration of KURZGESAGT & WAITBUTWHY!
WAIT BUT WHY: AN AWESOME BLOG that shows you new perspectives on your life. Visit them, tell them hi from us! 😀 Trust us, it is worth your time!
We are very happy with this video. So if you like it we would it appreciate very much if you shared it 😀
Short videos, explaining things. For example Evolution, the Universe, Time, the Stock Market or controversial topics like Fracking. Because we love science.
We would love to interact more with you, our viewers to figure out what topics you want to see. If you have a suggestion for future videos or feedback, drop us a line! 😀
We’re a bunch of Information designers from munich, visit us on facebook or behance to say hi!

Pete Brown: Why it’s OK to drink a lot this Christmas:
We know that fire needs to be treated with respect and caution. We understand completely that if we control it, it’s a boon, but that if we let it get out of control, it can cause devastating damage. That’s why we keep children away from it, and why there are very clear guidelines on how to handle it. We don’t see people calling for the abolition of fire. We rarely see people blaming fire itself when it destroys. We understand that when it kills, it was either deliberate and criminal human action, a tragic accident, or the result of negligence. We might say that such tragedies show the need for better education around fire or clearer warnings, and that’s fair enough. But we don’t hear anyone arguing that a house fire proves we should only be allowed to cook a meal or stay warm once or twice a week.

The Death of the Blog, Again, Again | Whatever:
…the point Zach makes — that you have to go to your audience rather than simply hang out an online shingle and wait for it come to you — is a valid one… Also, I suspect in many ways a distributed presence online for a writer or creative person is a little bit like having multiple revenue streams, which is to say, a way to buffer yourself against one stream dipping or drying up.
