On the Moon, astronauts will need protection from a different set of hazards. They’ll have to contend with cosmic and solar radiation, meteorites, wild temperature swings, and even impact ejecta. The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has found hundreds of lunar ‘skylights,’ locations where a lava tube’s ceiling has collapsed, making a natural opening into the tube.

Physicist Richard Feynman is a hero/celebrity in the world of physics. There are many great and interesting physicists, but Feynman had a clarity of thought and range of interests that makes any time spent learning about him is worthwhile. He makes you a better person.
Colin from Accounts didn’t sound like my kind of TV show, but I gave it a try. I’m not usually a fan of Australian comedies. Too many of the characters treat each other poorly and they can be too much. Like, too wacky, too dumb, too confident, whatever. Deadloch on Amazon Prime is one that I tried recently. Colin from Accounts isn’t like that at all.
During the Covid year, the first quarter was going to be remote. and that was about all we knew. Teaching remotely, I couldn’t give students the a quality show, so I thought that I’d produce lecture videos that are good in a different way. The intent was to renovate the curriculum while producing videos that would be a resource for my remaining three or four years.
I’ve recently been conversing with a couple of students that I had during the Covid year. Both are in engineering at The Ohio State University. I had both when they were juniors in Physics, and again, as seniors in AP Physics 2. Since I knew them prior to the Covid year, I didn’t need to introduce myself. For students with whom I was not acquainted, it seemed important to produce a video that gave them some sense of Physics and how I approached the course.
An award-winning Harvard Business School professor and researcher spent years exploring the reasons people lie and cheat. A trio of behavioral scientists examining a handful of her academic papers concluded her own findings were drawn from falsified data.
We spent three days at Pier-Lon campground. It’s on the West side of Medina, so pretty close and not far from I-71 so easy to get to. Pier-Lon has a lot of green space, play ground and full setup for $50 per night. There is a big pond with a beach and is a great place for kids. Alcohol isn’t permitted, so it is setup as a family destination.
Why are so many young men so angry online?
This article isn’t likely to suggest anything that will actually help men.
One Piece is really entertaining. Yeah, everybody says that, but I was surprised. There are a few anime series I like, but it’s usually the silly stuff. I wouldn’t watch One Piece, Cowboy Bebop or Dragon Ball Z as anime. Making an anime into a TV show is even less likely to work out. The trailers weren’t enticing. I thought it would be some sappy Mexican kid moping around.
My apple trees really came through this year. As I was picking them, Sparky decided to get in on the action. He likes the idea of apples, but doesn’t actually eat them.
Most of the apples will go to feeding the deer, but some looked so good, I’m making apple butter.
