Krismas came early this year

Some gifts, like the Kimye baby, are highly anticipated.

Others take us by surprise, like this artsy black and white video of Kris Jenner gliding through a pool while “Trap Queen” plays. The fountains are flowing. You can see a twinkle in the Kardashian matriarch’s eyes, which must mean she’s in her happy place: monetizing her family. It is pure joy

The work of art was directed by photographer Doug Inglish LOVE magazine

India gets its own 'South Park' with 'SikhPark'

Adman and filmmaker Dalbir Singh started SikhPark, his take on the popular series South Park, back in 2007 to talk about his experiences as a Sikh living in the US and Canada after 9/11. Eight years later, SikhPark’s light-hearted portrayal of daily life in India has a dedicated fan following on Facebook.

In the beginning, the webcomic highlighted the racial profiling of Sikhs in the post 9/11 world. “I had gone through this at the airport, where I had to go through double and triple screening,” he says. Singh began the series for his friend’s website SikhChic and initially hosted it on Myspace. He wanted to name the strip Karol Park, after a Delhi neighbourhood known for its Punjabi residents, but eventually settled on SikhPark because of its broad appeal among the NRI community. …

Ed Sheeran played this $2-a-ticket show, but no one wanted to see him

Poor old Ed Sheeran — he was kind enough to appear in a private peep show for the bargain price of $2-per-head, but hardly anyone went to see him.

The cheerful, mop-headed singer took part in the experiment — which saw him waiting behind a red curtain to give lucky punters a private 30-second show — with Australian radio hosts Hamish & Andy last Friday.

Some of the oddest respiratory masks you can buy on Taobao

Last year at Mercedes-Benz China Fashion Week, high-end fashion designer QIAODAN Yin Peng showcased a luxe sportswear collection paired with an array of breathing masks to bring light to China’s pollution issue.

We scoured Taobao, China’s biggest online marketplace for smog masks and found plenty of quirkier designs among the regular masks. While we can’t vouch for whether these masks work effectively, we’re pretty sure they will turn more than just a few heads.

Here's why everyone is boycotting football matches in Australia

That overpowering sound of chirping crickets you can hear is emanating from the barren stadiums of Australia’s A-League football competition. It comes as fans boycott games en masse in retaliation to the governing body’s fan management policies.

Across the weekend, the usual seas of colour and atmosphere created by active fan groups were replaced by acres of empty plastic chairs and a vibe one would usually experience at a large-scale funeral.

The inside of Iceland's glaciers looks like another planet

Located deep inside Iceland’s Vatnajökull glacier is a blue ice cave wonderland

These caves are only accessible during certain times of the year. As the glacier shifts, it can reveal different access points to complex cave systems that are there for only a matter of weeks before the glacier changes again.

The Vatnajökull glacier is one of the largest in Europe and the caves, while breathtaking, are inaccessible without guides. Some of the caves can require hiking and climbing for nearly two hours.

Fear of a mass shooting can breed its own anxiety

Rebecca Recco, an art educator in Charleston, West Virginia, recently walked through a new school and into one of the most beautiful and light-filled classrooms she’d ever seen.

Her first thought was the room had nowhere to hide the children

See also: The problem with how we define mass shootings

Recco often has these kinds of thoughts. When she walks into a building, her mind fixates on how to get out in case she’s confronted by a gunman, even though she’s never been in such a situation. She’s always looking for small spaces to hide her elementary school students

Recco isn’t sure whether her mind works this way because she’s trained to usher kids into hiding if a shooter walks into school, or if watching the aftermath of mass shootings on TV again and again has embedded such thoughts in her brain. Maybe it’s both …

[Weekend Poll] Are You Using Google Now On Tap? How Often?

Google Now On Tap was easily the most futuristic feature to be previewed when Android 6.0 was previewed at Google I/O earlier this year. We longed for it, anticipated it, and when it finally arrived… most of us didn’t really find a use for it.

I’ll be honest: I had completely forgotten Now On Tap even existed until Artem suggested this weekend’s poll topic, one that I think will yield some interesting results.

How nerve cells end up in the right place

(credit: UC Berkeley)

The human nervous system is a complex network of cells, all working together. The intense specialization of this network starts during development, when cells must talk to each other to carefully coordinate wiring up neural circuitry.

The wiring relies on the neural cells themselves. They have rounded cell bodies surrounded by short spines called dendrites, and longer tails, called axons. Each neuron only has one axon, which connects to dendrites on other nerve cells.

Sending that axon to the right place—a process called neural pathfinding—is the subject of an entire field of study. Researchers have identified a variety of specialized signaling molecules that instruct neurons on where they should go. It’s not always clear, however, how these signaling networks interact to send axons to the right place. A recent paper published in Science helps to clarify some of these unknowns.
