...recent days, Chicago has endured baby tsunamis and threats of tornadoes. Just last week, the authorities pulled a prickly five-foot-long alligator from the Chicago River. In April, police fatally shot a 150-lb. cougar in an alley of a leafy neighborhood in this city's heart. America's third-largest city is becoming some kind of remote Amazonian outpost. Now come The Birds...
...global shipping company than an aid agency. Every Monday through Friday - weekends too if there's an emergency - empty trucks pull up at the warehouse in Kampala, bound for destinations around Uganda and neighboring countries. Nearly 200 porters jog around the warehouse, a steady stream of men carrying 100-lb (50 kg) bags of food on their heads.

Her wounds have healed, and she has enough energy to walk a mile to get water, babysit, help with chores and even do occasional fieldwork. She lives with her brother, his wife and their six children...
...ever bought and what other customers like you have bought. They shovel through data about millions of buyers and tens of millions of sales and then, like the shopkeepers, come up with a suggestion. However, the computers don't do all this in a 1,400-g (3 lb.), walnut-wrinkled mass of brain tissue but in a vast network of computers. It's easy to say that one approach is more complex than the other. It's a lot harder to say which...
