The cold, hard facts of freezing to death. [HT Ashi]
Pictures from Foreign Policy of the protests in India.
A Saudi prince heard about a homeless, unemployed man and his family and he set them up with a furnished house and a job. Wow.
Here's the dash cam video from that plane crash in Russia. I am forever grateful to that article for explaining why so many Russian cars have dash cams in the first place (was I the only one who wondered?).
The first babies (and baby names) from each state in the US in 2013.
