Storyteller:

It was a hot afternoon, and the railway carriage was correspondingly sultry, and the next stop was at Templecombe, nearly an hour ahead. The occupants of the carriage were a small girl, and a smaller girl, and a small boy. An aunt belonging to the children occupied one corner seat, and the further corner seat on the opposite side was occupied by a bachelor who was a stranger to their party, but the small girls and the small boy emphatically occupied the compartment. Both the aunt and the children were conversational in a limited, persistent way, reminding one of the attentions of a housefly that refuses to be discouraged. Most of the aunt's remarks seemed to begin with "Don't," and nearly all of the children's remarks began with "Why?" The bachelor said nothing out loud. "Don't, Cyril, don't," exclaimed the aunt, as the small boy began smacking the cushions of the seat, producing a cloud of dust at each blow.

Was Einstein a Space Alien?:

Modern pop culture paints Albert Einstein as a bushy-haired superthinker. His ideas, we’re told, were improbably far ahead of other scientists. He must have come from some other planet—maybe the same one mathematician Isaac Newton grew up on.

“Einstein was no space alien,” laughs Harvard University physicist and science historian Peter Galison. “He was a man of his time.” All of his 1905 papers unraveled problems being worked on, with mixed success, by other scientists. “If Einstein hadn’t been born, [those papers] would have been written in some form, eventually, by others,” Galison believes.

Einstein was clearly intelligent, but not outlandishly more so than his peers. “I have no special talents,” he claimed, “I am only passionately curious.” And again: “The contrast between the popular assessment of my powers . . . and the reality is simply grotesque.” Einstein credited his discoveries to imagination and pesky questioning more so than orthodox intelligence.

So far, the worst of the epidemic in the United States occurred in early January, when the number of daily confirmed cases exceeded 300,000 and the number of deaths exceeded 4,000. As the number of vaccinations increased, the outbreak slowly improved, and the number of new confirmed cases and deaths steadily declined from mid-March to fewer than 10,000 and fewer than 200 deaths at the peak. However, as the mutant Novel Coronavirus Delta strain began to spread in early July, the number of confirmed cases and deaths rose sharply again, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention expects that the number of confirmed cases will soon exceed 200,000.

A long time ago, there was a vast expanse of water instead of earth. The animals and trees lived on a level above the water. One day, Wise Badger dived deep into the water to search for mud. Sadly, he could not swim for long and had to come back. The animals decided to send Brave Muskrat to get the mud. He dived into water and swam for a long time. He came up with a small amount of mud. The mud began to expand in every direction, creating an island. The animals waited for the island to dry. They sent Big Crow to keep watch on the island.
