    Twin-boom.. thing.. over Oxfordshire UK

    Around 1417BST, facing WSW 240deg from approx. 51.82,-0.85 - corner of my eye I see what initial instinct was a parasail, but not quite right for that. No sound.

    Why was MH17 Flying Over The Conflict Region?

    Images vs Text in communicating new ideas

    Sorry if this is the wrong topic, or I shouldn't have started a new thread, I'm new here :) http://www.dartmouth.edu/~nyhan/opening-political-mind.pdf Abstract Why do so many Americans believe in misinformation? One possibility is that people have not been exposed to clear factual...
