Kissing your child on the lips is perfectly acceptable
The photograph of Victoria Beckham kissing her daughter on the lips has provoked a backlash. But such intimacy is simply ordinary loving behaviour The moment I saw that picture of Victoria Beckham and her daughter, Harper, kissing each other on the lips , I thought: “I bet she’s going to get so much flak for that”. And lo, she has. Fifteen years ago, I watched my cousin play with his young daught

Researchers generate 3D images using just one photon per pixel (w/ video)
(Phys.org)—Every time you take a photograph, your camera detects more than a billion photons. For a basic one-megapixel camera, that's more than 1,000 photons per pixel. Now in a new study, researchers have developed an algorithm that is so efficient that it can generate high-quality 3D images using a single-photon camera that detects just one signal photon per pixel.

This anthropological understanding informs us that the "solution" is NOT
