Monday March 10, 2014 Warm; up to 49F (9.44...C).  I went outside wearing a sweater.  Took it off after a while; put it back on in the evening.

Some people wore winter coats.  One man wore a short-sleeved shirt.

 How does it give off SCENT?

[There's an attachment -- not exactly free -- which does it with the help of scent cartridges.  I suspect it would be simpler and cheaper to rig up something to light scented candles.  Twenty years from now, it might be a standard function of smartphones.]

First animals oxygenated Earth's oceans, study suggests
Date: March 9, 2014
Source: University of Exeter
Summary:
The evolution of the first animals may have oxygenated Earth's oceans -- contrary to the traditional view that a rise in oxygen triggered their development. New research contests the long held belief that oxygenation of the atmosphere and oceans was a pre-requisite for the evolution of complex life forms. The study builds on the recent work of scientists in Denmark who found that sponges -- the first animals to evolve -- require only small amounts of oxygen.
