TCB # XV (Xtreme Velocity?)

Hey!

So... Last time's idea didn't quite work out that well. Anyway, I'm back to the usual now. (:P)

1. Word

evince, verb (ee•VIHNS)
Definition: To demonstrate clearly, reveal
Example: The princess evinced her displeasure by yelling at the court.

2. Trivia
One red and thirteen yellow cards were given by referee Howard Webb (England) in The Netherlands versus Spain final, the highest ever in a WC final match.

3. Link

Global Politician columnist Sam Vaknin argues in a recent article that science fiction is guilty of ten specific mistakes when postulating the characteristics of advanced extraterrestrial life: http://www.globalpolitician.com/26483-aliens-extraterrestrials-seti

4. List

Random interestingness: http://listsgalore.blogspot.com/2010/05/50-x-is-new-y-analogies.html

5. Web app

YourNextRead/BookWhack: Out of the dozens of book recommendation sites, this has to be one of the best, with description and reviews from Amazon and GoodReads.

6. Quotation

"You never know when you're making a memory.”
- Rickie Lee Jones

7. Green-it!

ecofreek: This one's not really ready to be used everywhere yet (much better in the First World), but the concept is nice: "ecofreek searches over 45+ sources for free and swappable items being given away by people who no longer need them".

BONUS: Here's one for the soccer/football fans―Some superhumans from the School of Mathematical Sciences at Queen Mary, University of London injected a lot of math into FIFA statistics and came up with this: http://www.maths.qmul.ac.uk/~ht/footballgraphs/press.html

Thank you to all the websites/blogs that have helped me pool the content. And guys, I need your honest bouquets and brickbats!

Enjoy yourselves!
Rise. Shine. Smile.
