Webtacular World Issue # 19 April 13, 2014

Greetings Webtaculators! Hope everyone is enjoying the nice spring weather. I know I am.

STORY OF THE WEEK (10 min. look)
What: The Power Of Reconciliation
Why: Because it has been 20 years since the Rwandan Genocide, and the healing continues.

LAW THING OF THE WEEK (2 min. watch)
What: Boss Wedding
Why: Because now you get to hate lawyers even more.

MATH THING OF THE WEEK (10 min. read)
What: Math Made Easy(ish)
Why: Because some of these concepts still make no sense, but at least now you can pretend to understand them.

SPORTS THING OF THE WEEK (7 min. read)
What: Secrets To Success / Not Secrets To Success
Why: Because two new media outlets (fivethirtyeight.com and vox.com) both have two similar titles to pieces regarding the same success of the UConn Basketball program in the March Madness tournament; however, the focus of each reflects more on the stylistic differences these new platforms than any real insight to the team itself.

TV THING OF THE WEEK (5 min. read/ watch)
What: The Late Show Gets A New Host – Great News, Or Greatest News?

PHOTOGRAPHY THING OF THE WEEK (5 min. look)

LANGUAGE THING OF THE WEEK (5 min. read)
What: Uhh… Writing And Talking Is, Like, Hard And Stuff
Why: Because maybe all these changes to English, whether it’s less formal sentence structure and run ons and abbrv. txting is an evolution of our language. Or maybe it’s not.

VIDEO GAME THING OF THE WEEK (3 min. read)
What: Wait, So Playing Video Games Is Actually Good For You?
