Technically speaking, I'm a writer. I get paid to write words. But here's something most people don't know about me: I hate to read.
Now don't get me wrong — I still read quite a bit. I wade my way through books and blogs, news feeds and magazines. But when writers get wordy, my eyes get glossy. My brain gets bored.
As a kid, I always thought my aversion to reading was a weakness. It wasn't until years later that I realized this weakness helped me become a better writer.

NPR recently followed through with a much-discussed decision to abolish its story-page comments in favor of social media, joining a growing list of publishers including The Toronto Star, Vice's Motherboard, Mic and Reuters.
The recent closures are an indicator of a troubling trend that signals detachment on the part of news organizations when it comes to reader engagement, said Andrew Losowsky, the journalist who's spearheading The Coral Project.

It's been a big, weird year for the media industry. Gawker, the pioneering blog, declared bankruptcy and was sold off to Univision, whose millennial-focused digital endeavor Fusion has been having trouble finding an audience. The Awl, an heir to a certain version of Gawker, moved to Medium along with a number of other small websites. Medium's own in-house editorial product, Matter, has turned itself into a ... studio? Or something?

Pearson maintained its place as the world's largest book publisher in 2015, but that doesn't mean the U.K.-based company didn't face its share of challenges. The company began a major restructuring effort in the year that included the sale of the Financial Times and its stake in the Economist. Pearson also announced in January 2016 that it will cut about 4,000 jobs from its worldwide educational publishing operation, in an attempt to "create a single global product organization."

Not too long ago, a senior figure at BuzzFeed told me at a private lunch that although BuzzFeed was going strong, everybody else in digital media was screwed. Shane Smith, the CEO of Vice Media, in Scotland at the Edinburgh International Television Festival, predicted an apocalyptic wave of digital media consolidation that would help Vice while it hurt everyone else.

Did you know: that, unlike human beings, flowers become less fragrant as the world heats up? It's true.
According to Alon Can'ani, a doctoral candidate at Hebrew University of Jerusalem, "Increases in temperature associated with the changing global climate are interfering with plant-pollinator mutualism, an interaction facilitated mainly by floral color and scent."

Magnesium is the central element in chlorophyll, making it a crucial nutrient for maximizing photosynthesis, as well as maintaining vibrant green foliage. Like calcium, magnesium is required by plants in large enough quantities that it's not considered a micronutrient, but rather a secondary nutrient. Only nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (N, P, K) are needed in larger quantities by plants.
