What happens when they run out?&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;p&gt;When you hear the word “elements”, you probably think of the Periodic Table. A large uneven grid, listing all the elements known to humans, organised by chemical traits, and shaped more like a couch than a table if you ask me. Here is where you’ll first look if you want to find out about Hafnium or Terbium or some other random element that most people have almost never heard of.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These days, you can also find out about most of these elements using a small, electronic device that fits in your pocket. And I don’t mean through Google.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The average smartphone contains about 75 elements, spanning nearly three quarters of the Periodic Table.&lt;/p&gt;</description><author>Badri Sunderarajan</author><category>smartphones</category><category>technology</category><category>chemistry</category><category>endangered</category><category>science</category><guid isPermaLink="true">https://medium.com/p/40dcad98b2ca</guid><pubDate>Fri, 13 Sep 2019 07:01:01 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Selfie of the Earth</title><link>https://medium.com/snipette/selfie-of-the-earth-a4f52c36c253?source=friends_link&amp;sk=530a6f8aaf7f85957d39e38a53666664</link><description>&lt;div class="medium-feed-item"&gt;&lt;p class="medium-feed-image"&gt;&lt;a href="https://medium.com/snipette/selfie-of-the-earth-a4f52c36c253?source=rss----55afa6d128c2---4"&gt;&lt;img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1280/1*kOCvy0dlTIq3Ues1SR4i8Q.jpeg" width="1280"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="medium-feed-snippet"&gt;Want to use land wisely?

But who is really to blame for crime?&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;p&gt;Adrian Raine is a renowned criminologist. He teaches psychology in the University of Pennsylvania and has written four books, all on abnormal psychology and crime. Raine has studied criminals extensively and taught courses on them, and routinely tells students to feign sleep for their own safety if they ever have an intruder.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He also tells another story:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the summer of 1989, he took a trip to Bodrum, in Turkey. It had been a long day of travel, and it didn’t take long for him to fall sound asleep. Certainly, it helped that Bodrum was a relatively quiet city, with little traffic and honking at night.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Shortly after 3 a.m., he awoke when he heard the window creak. He could just about make out a shadow silhouetted by the streetlight. He panicked.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And, contrary to everything he know about criminals and their behavior, he attacked.&lt;/p&gt;</description><author>Manasa Kashi</author><category>crime</category><category>criminology</category><category>criminal-justice</category><category>psychology</category><category>sociology</category><guid isPermaLink="true">https://medium.com/p/29063cebd2ad</guid><pubDate>Fri, 26 Jul 2019 07:02:54 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>How To Train Your Keyboard</title><link>https://medium.com/snipette/how-to-train-your-keyboard-82970b3793ea?source=friends_link&amp;sk=cb2c8d0b0d6876f1c73f47ad7642e2f7</link><description>&lt;div class="medium-feed-item"&gt;&lt;p class="medium-feed-image"&gt;&lt;a href="https://medium.com/snipette/how-to-train-your-keyboard-82970b3793ea?source=rss----55afa6d128c2---4"&gt;&lt;img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1280/1*u_i8NB7PnxaPhf2CaC-sMA.jpeg" width="1280"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="medium-feed-snippet"&gt;How your next word is predicted&amp;#x200A;&amp;#x2014;&amp;#x200A;and how you can make it more accurate.&lt;/p&gt;</description><author>Badri Sunderarajan</author><category>technology</category><category>markov-chains</category><category>language</category><category>advice</category><category>autocorrect</category><guid isPermaLink="true">https://medium.com/p/82970b3793ea</guid><pubDate>Fri, 19 Jul 2019 07:01:01 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
