PoliticIt provides assessment on political influence of political campaigns.

Track how you are fairing against opponents in real time with the It Score. The It Score measures a politician's digital influence. Digital influence has predicted over 90 election outcomes in 2012 with 87% accuracy indicating that digital influence seems to correlate with election results. The It Score is calculated by collecting massive data on what people do and say in the real world, the internet, and in social networks and processes the "big data" through powerful software. When our software makes a mistake it learns which means the It Score becomes more accurate over time.

A biological filter to remove estrogens from waste water and drinking water.

They are persuading internationally active companies and associations in the biotechnology and chemistry sector to contribute several ten thousands of Euros to cover the costs of entering this rapidly expanding global competition in synthetic biology. Since May, they have been spending their free time in the laboratory making new DNA building blocks, reproducing them, and producing enzymes. First results give reason for optimism.

Over the past 50 years, a quiet revolution has taken place in this country. Decades of demographic, economic and social change have transformed the structure and composition of the American family. The pre-eminent family unit of the mid-20th century—mom, dad and the kids—no longer has the stage to itself. A variety of new arrangements have emerged, giving rise to a broader and evolving definition of what constitutes a family.
