And for Pete, nothing was ever the same. A year earlier, at age 22, he had won a batting title, a rookie of the year award, and a pennant with the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Back in the Dark Ages when I was a teen it would’ve been a challenge to find 11 half-decent options. However, thanks to some amazing strides in representation in publishing, that’s no longer the case. Of course, that’s not to say that the work is done. As I shared in a recent list of 25+ LGBTQ books for teens, we’ve got a…

A flying robot with wings controlled by an electric field instead of heavy motors and gears slightly outperforms insect muscles Technology 2 February 2022 By Alex Wilkins A small robot with wings like an insect can fly and generate more power than a similarly sized animal in nature. Most flying robots, whether they use wings or propellers, have motors and gears and transmission systems to connect the components, but these can weigh the robot down and fail. Now, Tim Helps at the University of Bristol, UK, and his colleagues have designed a small robot that uses an electric field –…

Such social media battles may be unusual when considering a takeover of a massive business, but Musk is himself unusual, says Cary Cooper, a business professor at Manchester Business School. “He’s not a traditional businessman,” he says. “He’s a man that is pretty creative and pretty innovative. He’s a unique guy and does things in a way that a normal businessperson wouldn’t do. He doesn’t play the normal games that an entrepreneur would play.”On April 15, Twitter’s board triggered a break-glass-in-emergency financial tool: the poison pill. Also known as a limited duration shareholder rights plan, the poison pill invited shareholders…
Music Videos Being In Demand EntertainmentYouTube, VEVO and a band’s individual website are typically where fans go to see music videos these days, and often the pull of the music video is the initial viewing for the fans, who then move on unless that video was super engaging.But for Gen X’ers, the music video was more of an event, something to be viewed repeatedly and something you could endlessly be entertained by.

It’s been three long years, but one show we’re really looking forward to seeing return — and dominate — the TV landscape is HBO’s Emmy-winning dark comedy Barry. And it comes back after one heck of a nail-biting cliffhanger. In the Season 2 finale, contract killer/wannabe actor Barry (Bill Hader) is outed as a murderer to his beloved theater coach, Gene Cousineau (Henry Winkler), when Gene learns that his meek student was responsible for taking down the woman he loves. Ouch. When the twisted tale picks up, not much time has passed and Barry has to make a lot of…
Over the course of nearly five years, a female gazelle in Mongolia completed a remarkable journey of at least 18,000 kilometers (11,185 miles). It crossed frozen rivers, encountered oil fields, negotiated fenced boundaries with China and Russia and trekked 900 kilometers just to survive two months of one particularly brutal winter, according to a new study. Extremely long journeys might not be unusual for Mongolian gazelles (Procapra gutturosa), but technology that enables finely detailed tracking of migrating mammals has only become available in the past two decades. Combining their latest findings with past observations of Mongolian gazelles, the study’s authors…

Before the invention of the World Wide Web (WWW), the earliest internet users were mainly researchers and military personnel. The network was complicated and, although it was possible to share files and messages, the interface was not user-friendly. In 1993, a researcher at CERN called Tim Berners-Lee started building a layer on top of the internet to make it easier to access, according to the World Wide Web Foundation. Berners-Lee’s idea was to make information available as pages, written in a shared language called Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). This eventually became the World Wide Web, which is the platform used by billions…
