Check out this article about how stress levels in a mother can cause stress-induced sex selection in children.

A recently published study, however, suggests this ain’t necessarily so. According to Ralph Catalano of the University of California, Berkeley, and his colleagues, writing in the American Journal of Human Biology, stress-induced sex selection can take place long after conception and implantation.

Games for Thinkers

Posted in Education at 9:06 pm by site admin

Check out this article on games for thinkers. Top three on the list are:

1. Chesss
2. Scrabble
3. Monopoly

Of the top 3, the top two are really easy to play on the go on your mobile phone. One of my favorite games (not in the top 10), is Go. Go is an intense game. Its simplistic enough for a four year old to learn, but complex enough that there is still not any robust Go AIs that can go head to head with the masters of the game.
