Black Death study blames humans instead of rats for deadly disease spread – but experts are divided over findings
RATS might not be to blame for the spread of the Black Death in Europe after all. A new study suggests that the much-maligned rodents may have been wrongly scapegoated as a cause for the deadly plague. It's been a long-held belief that flea-ridden rats helped spread a devastating series of plague outbreaks from 1346 right through to the early 19th Century. But researchers at the University of Oslo and the University of Ferrara say it was actually "human fleas and body lice" that were mostly to blame. The scientists used data from nine plague outbreaks across Europe, and tracked how the plague developed over time. Using this data, they were able to use mathematical models to simulate disease outbreaks. These simulations tracked how the disease would have been spread by rats, airborne transmission, or fleas and lice on human clothes. By comparing the results of these simulations to the real-world data, it was possible to find close matches – and predict the true cause. The results … [Read more...] about Black Death study blames humans instead of rats for deadly disease spread – but experts are divided over findings

We have NO policy saying you need to know the PIN to cancel an account due to someone passing. Actually, you don't even need a Death Certificate. You walk into a store, state someone passed away, and we are supposed to cancel it. posted on 07 Mar 2010, 15:11 0 2. SamTime (Posts: 253; Member since: 07 Nov 2009) How about the fact that they kept the charges from June-august? Care to explain that sir? Stop getting all sensitive and defensive.

Each year, 200+ million online accounts are left for dead.
Joanna Shears has everything to live for. But the 34-year-old is already fixated on death.Shears is an accomplished artist and taxidermist. Sometimes, she marries her interests in elaborate video installations that are meditations on how our lives end. She maintains a blog, The Winding Sheet, where she discusses funerals, cemeteries and "death positivity," the idea that improving your outlook on the inevitable might help you enjoy the present. Given her preoccupation, it's no surprise Shears has begun thinking about her own demise. Three years ago, Shears stumbled across DeadSocial, an online service for managing the digital afterlife and sending messages to loved ones. The service, she thought, was the smartest way she could wrangle her roughly 50 web accounts and thousands of digital photos. "I haven't written a will because I don't feel like I've got anything to leave to anybody," Shears told me from her home in London. "All I've got to leave is shitloads of photos, and that is an … [Read more...] about Each year, 200+ million online accounts are left for dead.
