How governments should help those on the dole


    “Active labour market programmes” are schemes meant to help people to fi nd work. They grew out of the American public works programmes of the 1930s, where the government spent billions of dollars busying its citizens with building schools, hospitals and bridges. Today programmes also take the form of training, subsidised private work, or help with fi nding a job. But alongside these programmes, some worry that overly generous welfare benefi ts make people lazy. They say that threats to cut people’s benefi ts if they do not join such programmes could also boost employment, by prodding people off the sofa and into work.

Agitating With Animation

     No one, post-Charlie Hebdo, can doubt a cartoon’s capacity to change the world - R. Crumb’s breezy remonstrance “It’s only lines on paper, folks!” notwithstanding. Animated cartoons are generally more circumspect than static drawings, but some have been agitators as well. [...]

    Homeopaths believe that illness-causing substances can, in minute doses, treat people who are unwell. By diluting these substances in water or alcohol, homeopaths claim the resulting mixture retains a “memory” of the original substance that triggers a healing response in the body.

    These claims have been widely disproven by multiple studies, but the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) has for the first time thoroughly reviewed 225 research papers on homeopathy to come up with its position statement, released on Wednesday: Homeopathy is not effective for treating any health condition.

The First Solar-Powered Round-the-World Flight Has Begun


    The world's first round-the-world trip on a solar-powered plane got under way Monday with the initial leg from Abu Dhabi to the Omani capital, Muscat.
     Swiss pilots Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg will pursue a recordshattering five-month journey, spanning 21,750 miles across several continents and two oceans, while using zero conventional fuel.
     The Solar Impulse-2's lightweight construction — weighing a mere 4,600 lb. — combined with its 236-ft. wingspan lined with 17,000 solar cells, makes it the first solar-powered aircraft capable of flying during both day and night. [...]
     The pilots have undergone rigorous preparation drills, and will forgo all sleep longer than 20 minutes while airborne, practicing yoga and selfhypnosis to cope with their airborne ordeal. (Some stints will involve flying continuously for five days.) Rest stops will be spent advocating for their cleantechnology campaign.
