Coordinating Big Brothers? or really the same thing

I recently updated my e-mail alerts to two major Physics publication. Within two days, I got an e-mail from a reputed Chemistry journal (where I had signed up before) to update the preferences too.

Doesnt look like a coincidence. More of a cooperation, or maybe its the same organization.

Heidi Kali





Heidi Klum chose the goddes Kali as her costume for Halloween this year (images here). I was impressed by the choice until I read this line on the news item.

Klum, who was in India last year along with Seal, told reporters at her annual bash that the idea of dressing up like goddess Kali was that of her secretary.

"My husband and I were in India last year, so she said, 'Why don't you do an Indian goddess? Like a scary Indian goddess?' And I said, 'Ok'," Klum was quoted saying.
