Astronomers can detect powerful bursts of energy from the deep, deep cosmos. Sometimes, the source of these bursts is mysterious. Scientists recently observed a giant blast some 130 million light-years from Earth. Previously, they detected a colossal collision here from a well-known merger between two neutron stars — collapsed stars that are perhaps the densest objects in the universe.

To avoid awkward and sometimes disastrous learning content, instructional designers must use authentic translation in the right context to get optimal results. For example, even a simple phrase like “got milk” translates to “are you lactating” in Mexico. Can you imagine what a straight translation might do to your course? With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

The social network announced several new measures Friday intended to prevent misinformation and propaganda from spreading among TikTok users. The measures are positive, but potentially overdue: Outlets including The Guardian and The New York Times have reported that TikTok is rife with misleading videos purporting to depict footage of the war.

On Wallops Island, a remote community on Virginia’s Eastern Shore, a press corps assembled camera tripods in an open field and waited for the countdown on wind-chilled metal bleachers. Off in the distance was a rocket appearing no bigger than a grain of rice. One member of the party noted that the marshy grasses skirting the view on this February day were much taller than at the last launch.

Just another rocky day on the Red Planet for NASA. A new batch of photos from the space agency's Perseverance rover introduces us to "Sid," the latest Mars rock that's been selected for sampling as part of NASA's mission to learn more about the planet and its geological history. The rover's date with Sid marks something of a milestone, as it's likely to be the last sample collected before Perseverance moves on to a new, previously unvisited location.

In The Tourist , Jamie Dornan plays a man who doesn't know who he is — and that might be the main problem with HBO and Two Brothers Pictures' miniseries in a nutshell. While The Tourist offers up admirable production, performances, and execution, it squanders seeds of dark comedy promise. The six episodes ultimately amount to an ordinary thriller, even as Dornan leads with aplomb.

Since when has learning and development (L&D) become such a negative experience with its intended learners? Could it be because learners have been conditioned by very poor learning experiences over the past two decades, combined with the kinks of technological innovation? Or is it because learning has typically been designed as a one-size-fits-all solution, despite the fact that humans are not clones?

You are a contemptible little worm that just disrupted every enemy's nap and they want to make you pay for it.
