Priests in the world of digital communications
The pope urged priests to use all multimedia tools to preach the Gospel and communicate with people of other religions and cultures.
In a message released by the Vatican, Benedict said that they should use modern technologies to express themselves and lead their communities. The message suggests possibilities as images, videos, animated features, blogs, and websites.
Many priests and top prelates already interact with the faithful online. One of Benedict’s advisers, Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe, the archbishop of Naples, has his own Facebook profile.

New Evidence: Pyramids built by free workers
On Sunday, 10th January 2010, Egypt’s chief archaeologist said that new tombs were found on the Giza plateau on the western edge of Cairo. The new discovery support the view that Great Pyramids were built by free workers, not slaves as widely believed. Films and media have long depicted slaves working to death to build the pyramids.
The newly discovered tombs were built beside the King’s pyramid, and it indicates that the people buried there were not slaves at all. Slaves would not have been able to build their tombs beside their king’s.
There is another sign that the people were not slaves. There are Graffiti on the walls made by the workers, calling themselves “friends of Khufu”.

Women hands have a greater variety of bacteria than men
A new study found that women have a greater variety of bacteria on their hands than men.
Researchers are not sure why woman have a greater variety of bacteria than men, but it may have to so with the acidity of the skin. Men are generally has more acidic skin than women. Other possibilities are differences in sweat and oil gland production, frequency of moisturizer and cosmetics applications, skin thickness, and hormone production.

X-rays from Scotch tape
Physicists are announcing a startling discovery: Scotch tape. It turns out that if you peel the popular adhesive tape off its roll in a vacuum chamber, it emits X-rays. The researchers even made an X-ray image of one of their fingers.
Actually, more than 50 years ago, some Russian scientists reported evidence of X-rays from peeling sticky tape off glass. But the new work demonstrates that you can get a lot of X-rays.
“We were very surprised,” said Juan Escobar. “The power you could get from just peeling tape was enormous.”
Escobar, a graduate student at the University of California, reports the work with UCLA colleagues in Thursday’s issue of the journal Nature.
He suggests that with some refinements, the process might be harnessed for making inexpensive X-ray machines for paramedics or for places where electricity is expensive or scarce.
