New York Times, What to Cook this weekend…
Good morning. There was a great moment the other day as I was driving down to the market for supplies, a rare traffic jam on a stretch of road that’s generally barren, cars backed up in both directions so that a family of Canada geese could waddle across the road, moving from a pond on one side to the bay on the other. The mother goose had her neck stretched low to the pavement, guiding the goslings along, and if Michael the police officer wasn’t there with his whistle to help, it was still reminiscent of Robert McCloskey’s “Make Way for Ducklings,” and I knew every driver in line was smiling behind her mask.


How fast can a human run? 2 legs? Four might be better.

Studying plastics in the air we breathe and our waterways.





"We cannot account for the rotation of Betelgeuse," Wheeler said. "It's spinning 150 times faster than any plausible single star just rotating and doing its thing."
He directed a team of undergraduates including Sarafina Nance, Manuel Diaz, and James Sullivan of The University of Texas at Austin, as well as visiting students from China and Greece, to study Betelgeuse with a computer modeling program called MESA. The students used MESA to model Betelgeuse's rotation for the first time.

Each has a different tonal colour, or “timbre”, which gives them their own unique characteristic sound. This is how we can naturally tell them apart when listening to music. As you develop as a singer, it is important to listen more analytically to the timbres, and therefore the pitches of different instruments, and how to tune your voice to each of them. https://www.musical-u.com/learn/...

Thursday 5/28 The glittering leaves of the rhododendrons Balance and vibrate in the cool air; While in the sky above them White clouds chase each other.  –John Gould Fletcher (1886–1950) Edmund C. Tarbell, portrait, Mary Van Ness Hyde May 28 is a special Day. My Grandmother Nessie was born on this day. She passed away when I was 2. Breast Cancer took her life, but her zest for life, love of animals, and incredible spirit lives on. People who knew her tell me I'm like her, I believe she is still a part of my life because I see her in mourning doves, roses, and horses, dairy cows, especially Jerseys, Collie dogs, Persian cats, and exploration too.

Tuesday 6/2 Field Trip TANZANIA's Masai People Evolution and labour division between Males and Females Prehistoric footprints are a remarkable and precious source of evidence for the behavior and biology of ancient organisms, capturing a snapshot of their lives in deep time. In a new paper in Nature Scientific Reports , our research team documented and interpreted an extraordinary site in northern Tanzania called Engare Sero, where hundreds of human footprints were preserved in volcanic ash many thousands of years ago. What the prints describe We meticulously traced each footprint trail and analyzed the size, spacings, and directions of the footprints. We determined that 17 of the footprint tracks were created by a single group of individuals walking at the same time in a southwesterly direction. Based on a sophisticated statistical analysis using a vast comparative data set of modern foot dimensions, this group likely consisted of mainly 14 adult females, wi...
