Do Bees Know Nothing?

Researchers say bees understand the concept of nothing, or zero. But do we understand what that means?

The question is not properly formed.
A bee has a calculating engine. 
She is not self aware.
She has no thoughts.
She has programmable responses.

The answer to James Gorman's question is no.

Testing Brooklyn’s Newest Playground at Domino Park in Williamsburg

An artist designed this playground with the Domino Sugar refinery as inspiration. Here’s what our kid critics thought.

Cities are not "child safe" either.

"If you build it; they will come"

Probably not.

The children will judge it by returning repeatedly without prompting.

I do the same.

The children and I improvise our environments by selection and construction.

I would include you.

Sooner is better.    As soon as you can is best.

I Wanted to Be Dominated. But Not Quite Like That.

Stung by romantic rejection, a woman finds acceptance and catharsis in a man who leaves her with bite marks and bruises.

I will not form such an attachment.

Death by Tuna Sandwich?

My heart does some crazy things. It stops beating when I eat.

Thanks for the Painful Reminder

Gender Letter: Yes, Britain, You Can Have More Women on Corporate Boards

Your pocket guide to responding to stereotypes and suppositions with studies — and a little sass.

I feel unconcerned.

The British aristocracy does not willingly learn.
Republicans model themselves on the house of lords.
