Monday Blogcrawl

I keep forgetting that this is Monday. My other half is away, and without him I really can't keep tabs on the real world. Here is some stuff of interest from the cyber world:

• People still don't realise that Arthur Conan Doyle was a spiritualist.
• Network Solutions provides some really practical advice on getting your Email Newsletter read.
  
• I am fascinated by the empty housing developments I see in China and Vietnam, and Business Insider has some interesting satellite pics of China's ghost cities.
• Quite startling photographs of the children of Russia's elites, from a new book called Little Adults. From Spiegel Online.
• Ebooks, print books, publishers, retailers - the whole thing becomes increasingly messy.
• Bit Rebels highlights an edible recreation of Shanghai.
• Practising mindfulness meditation might improve your focus, and The Record.com also tells us that it might help us deal with pain.
