Innocence Denied: A Holocaust Childhood by Johannes Krane What’s it About? During WWII, thousands of Dutch citizens were literally starving to death under the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. Krane and his brother’s parents were both deaf and mute. How would their family survive the cruelties of the Nazi occupiers and life in the streets of their city? It was difficult to imagine a time without Nazis patrolling the streets. Their presence was a constant reminder that the Germans had control over everything in our lives, right down to how much sugar we could have in our porridge. Actually, it…

These movies maintain devoted fans nearly a century later.Today, we live in a very different time. The Walt Disney Company is still around, and it is still creating lavish motion pictures. But their animated movies are now typically made in three dimensions instead of two…
A vortex of relatively warm air has been detected swirling beneath Uranus’ clouds, providing strong evidence for the existence of a cyclone anchored at the planet’s north pole. The findings add fuel to the fire that Uranus is not as atmospherically inert as it initially seemed when NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft flew past the “ice giant” in January 1986.The discovery of a northern vortex on Uranus was made through the detection of thermal emission in the form of radio waves picked up by astronomers using the Very Large Array (VLA) of radio telescopes in New Mexico.Related: Photos of Uranus, the tilted…

Astronomers may have for the first time witnessed a sun-like star devouring a planet, shedding light on the fate that will befall Earth in about four billion years when our dying sun swells to engulf our world, a new study finds. By analyzing countless stars during various stages of their evolution, astronomers have discovered that as our sun and stars like it near the ends of their lives, they begin to exhaust their primary source of fuel, the hydrogen near their cores. This leads their cores to contract and their outer shells to expand and cool. During this “red giant” phase, these stars may…

India’s Internet freedom score improved by two points to 51 in the global ranking following efforts to bridge the digital divide in the country, the US government-funded NGO Freedom House said on Tuesday.

While the government continues to impose internet shutdowns, they have reduced in their frequency and intensity,” Freedom on The Net 2022 said.India’s…
Ten years ago, it was a fact that any attempt to start a music festival in the Northeast would end in failure. (Remember All Points West? Panorama?) Since then, a few events have unlocked the secret to success in the region: Think local. Boston Calling was launched by Crash Line Productions co-founders Brian Appel and Mike Snow after working for the alt-weekly Boston Phoenix and its sister radio station WFNX. Because the earliest events were held biannually, BC’s 10th “anniversary” happened in 2019, but Memorial Day weekend 2023 marks 10 years since the first festival (tickets still available here!).

The fingers of this robot hand are made from woodSwee Ching Tan A robot hand made from wood could be used in extremely hot environments while still maintaining a delicate touch. Most robotic hand grippers are made from soft plastics, which can pick up objects without damaging them but melt at high temperatures, or from metals with many moving parts, which are stiff and complex to operate. Now, Swee Ching Tan at the National University of Singapore and his colleagues have developed wooden grippers made from 0.5 millimetre-thick pieces of Canadian maple, … Read The Full Article Here

The strawberry is a treasured treat whose large red fruit and sweet flavor make mouthwatering jams, stand-alone afternoon snacks, or toppings to nearly any dessert. However, strawberries are more than just a delicious snack. Hidden beneath the surface of that bright red fruit lies a unique branch of the evolutionary tree. Strawberry’s genetic quirks are ripe for scientists to study and gain fundamental insights into how organisms can evolve new, complex and versatile features. The first quirk in the strawberry genome is something scientists call polyploidy, meaning multiple sets of chromosomes in its cells. Humans are diploid, meaning we have…
HBO’s Perry Mason Season 2 wrapped last month, and fans are waiting to learn whether the show will secure a renewal from the premium cabler.

A view of the inner components of a quantum computerBen Fourmi Special quantum bits called “cat qubits” could make it possible for quantum computers to make fewer errors and more efficiently break common encryption algorithms. Conventional computers process information by manipulating bits, which take on values of 0 or 1, based on whether a transistor is “on” or “off”. For quantum computers, however, a standardised counterpart for the transistor has not yet been settled upon. Quantum bits, or qubits, can be made from charged atoms, particles of light that have … Read The Full Article Here
