BallToday I learned something new and useful. Let me start from the beginning. I am taking a University course and had to visit the library in the next town to pick up a book and to return another one. When I got there, representatives the Student Health Organization were present in the cafeteria to inform about their work.

There were lots of information brochures and some strange balls for stress relief. In the back there was a sign that said you could actually make them yourself. They felt very good to hold and to “knead” and I wanted one myself. Still holding one of the balls, looking for how to make them, a girl stepped up to me asking if I wanted to make one.

I knew I didn’t have much time, so she said she could tell me how to make them and I could take that ball I was holding. In the end I decided I would make time and stay and learn how to make one myself. It was really easy and now I have one to knead when I feel the stress creep up on me. I had so much fun today even though a guy walked by saying his daughter would love that, but that me and that girl from the health organization seemed a bit old for it :). You’re never to old though, to have fun.

What the World’s Cities Would Look Like If Every Glacier Melted

The earth’s surface is only 30 percent land; 70 percent is ocean.

Jeffrey Linn, a Seattle urban planner, is using digital cartography to imagine worlds that are even more watery.

You don’t need a starship to visit them, although a time machine would be useful. That’s because Linn’s maps depict what some cities would like if sea levels went up by 80 meters, or 264 feet.
