Lycos Retriever: The Best of the Web Summarized for You
Lycos Retriever is a unique new service from Lycos. Retriever is an information fusion engine, bringing together information from across the Web into a concise, easy-to-read summary.
Retriever Topic pages include meaty extracts from high-quality Web pages which give you basic information and let you know where to go for more. Each Topic page focuses not on a word, but an idea. It also gives you helpful links to pages that tell you more about specific aspects of the basic idea.
Retriever evaluates both the quality and the freshness of the information it's reporting. What it returns to the user is a briefing book, with perspectives from all over the Web, not a dry encyclopedia article or one person's opinion on a subject.
uLearn by Infomapper - online maps for schools
Teaching with maps (whether on the whiteboard or using a set of personal computers) makes learning much more visual, exciting and personally relevant. uLearn is the easiest way to access a range of Ordnance Survey mapping in the UK, plus stunning aerial imagery and historic maps, all in a safe educational environment.
Much more than just Geography
Use maps as an index, not only to study geographical locations but also alongside uLearn's enormous library of geo-referenced resources. Explore the historic, cultural and factual aspects of your chosen locations across the planet. Just select a topic, zoom in to a place of interest and the resources available will automatically light up. And uLearn's mapping tools are interactive - stitch maps together, add your own photos and videos or annotate them to highlight your teaching focus. uLearn's maps and resources can be manipulated to meet your classroom needs, whatever the curriculum area.
Really simple tools for creating lessons
Whether using the resources already in uLearn or uploading your own resources, uLearn allows you at the click of a button, to capture the maps and resources for your lesson, ready to use in the classroom. It's as simple as clicking the 'Save current view to playlist' button!

Addiction Inbox: Heroin for Heroin Addiction
-
A group of Canadian researchers has demonstrated the truth of a practice commonly used in European countries like The Netherlands and Switzerland: Heroin can be an effective treatment for chronic, relapsing heroin addicts
-
Using doctor-prescribed heroin has two advantages, some researchers believe. It gets around the problem of addicts who don’t like the effect of methadone and therefore don’t take it as prescribed. Moreover, as European countries have demonstrated, it brings treatment-resistant opiate addicts into regular contact with physicians and medical treatment professionals, thereby keeping them away from drug dealers and out of jail.

How does my game playing contribute to curing diseases?
With all the things proteins do to keep our bodies functioning and healthy, they can be involved in disease in many different ways. The more we know about how certain proteins fold, the better new proteins we can design to combat the disease-related proteins and cure the diseases. Below, we list three diseases that represent different ways that proteins can be involved in disease.
