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.

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...

Friday 5/29 Weighing in: Nutrition, body image, and finding balance as a female athlete https://cyclingtips.com/2018/04/weighing-in-nutrition-body-image-and-finding-balance-as-a-female-athlete/ As a Mom of Girls I have seen two healthy girls with healthy outlooks on body image struggle with body image occasionally. I also struggled with this as an athlete in High School and College. I kept a food diary and exercise log. Both excellent ways to tune into your wellness.  This is good on Balance. Food is Fuel. I never weighed myself during high school and tried to maintain a diet very similar to before I became a serious cyclist. I stayed pretty healthy, but as I continued to make progress in my cycling career, I knew I wasn’t optimizing my diet for what I was asking my body to do. Becoming more engaged with my nutrition was initially driven by a desire to train harder. As my training load steadily increased, my diet hadn’t changed dramatically. I was still eating simil...

Thursday 6/4 Tonight's Full Moon, Go to Google Images to read text. Song of the Moon Priscilla Jane Thompson Oh, a hidden power is in my breast,       A power that none can fathom;   I call the tides from seas of rest,   They rise, they fall, at my behest;   And many a tardy fisher’s boat,   I’ve torn apart and set afloat,        From out their raging chasm.   For I’m an enchantress, old and grave;         Concealed I rule the weather;   Oft set I, the lover’s heart a blaze,   With hidden power of my fulgent rays,   Or seek I the souls of dying men,   And call the sea-tides from the fen,       And drift them out together.   I call the rain from the mountain’s peak,       And sound the mighty thunder;   When I wax and wane from week to week,  The heavens stir...

In the end, you’d rather not say anything.” As we discussed this, we moved on to the ...
