One cameo in particular seemed to be all but inevitable, as Marvel had already announced WandaVision would be directly linked to Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but the credits rolled on the finale without a hint of Benedict's beard.

The lack of Strange was undoubtedly disappointing for some viewers, but it turns out that the Sorcerer Supreme was initially in the show. In ...

On its website, the British Museum calls the work "among the most enduring and emotive examples of the representation of women in Benin court art."

Berkshire's Munger Strike

Anyway, Berkshire CEO Warren Buffett was his usual self, giving shoutouts on share buybacks — which Great Ones know I typically disagree with — and trying to be as nonabrasive as possible. That's his schtick.

Even after examining the objects—mostly personal belongings and decorations—Karlsson didn't yet suspect that he had discovered a trove of 2,500-year-old relics.

Yesterday, stormchaser Brian Emfinger managed to capture close-up drone footage of a tornado ripping through a rural area southeast of Yazoo City in Mississipi, United States. While his drone didn't survive, he did manage to recover some of the video he shot and has since shared it on YouTube.

Emfinger, an Emmy-winning storm chaser, aerial videographer and freelance journalist who licenses his work through Live Storms Media, confirmed with DPReview he used a DJI Mavic 2 Proto capture the footage. Given the conditions, and the fact that the memory card was not recovered, it's quite incredible how ...

College students with ADHD represent a distinct and auspicious yet overlooked population. The assumption that this group, by virtue of its acceptance into higher education alone, needs no special support for managing ADHD symptoms has prevailed for far too long. Given the unique factors that influence the college experience for students with ADHD — from academic and social challenges to treatment adherence — this population merits dedicated attention from clinicians, educators, families, and institutions of higher education themselves.

Improving outcomes for college students with ADHDrequires a multi-pronged approach. Many colleges and universities across the U.S. do provide services ...

Machine learning model development needs to be methodically, with extreme care, in order to yield effective results as unintended consequences can emerge at the various stages of model development. Flexible data ingestion policies allow companies to simplify ML model development by reducing the time needed for the model to teach itself and achieve greater levels of accuracies. However, enterprises are often unable to collaborate on model development as a result of the risk associated with data security in a model developed by multiple stakeholders. Cape Privacy is an encrypted learning platform that allows companies to collaborate on machine learning ...

The skies are flooded with energies from the mental realm today. We have a strong square aspect from Mercury in Taurus to Jupiter in Aquarius, a stubborn combination of fixed ideas and the potential for everyone to want to be right. Watch for arguments and disagreements, as well as a heightened level of conversation generally under that Jupiterian expansion. The Moon is in Aquarius today, facilitating a rational perspective using the powers of reason. However, that pesky Mars in Cancer suggests a rumbling of emotionality lurking beneath the surface, ready to emerge at a moment's ...

Both Canada and the UK have banned Fox News. Obviously, this is a far trickier subject in the United States, given our First Amendment rights to free speech. Yet, there are several kinds of speech that the U.S. Supreme Court had ruled unprotected, some of which are germane to this subject.

One such form of unprotected speech is defamation, i.e., the spreading of lies that result in damage to the reputation and viability of a person or group. This is the basis on which Dominion Voting Systems launched its $1.3 billion law suit, given that Fox and others have ...

More than half the world's population lives in dense urban areas. Uncomfortably loud restaurants, stores, hotels, or offices are enough to keep patrons away. When planning a meeting or even a night out with friends, we are conscious of selecting a location where we can focus and hear one another. The noisier our world gets, the more difficulty we have focusing on the sounds we actually want to hear.

Since the beginning of time, our ears have warned us of approaching danger. While their function remains the same, the dangers of today are different than they were ...

Learning Goals and Benchmarks Shifted By the Pandemic

Despite the efforts of many educators — my wife among them — most students have lost three semesters of quality education. I recently asked college students with ADHD, some attending highly selective schools, what they'd learned since the pandemic began. Answers ranged from "not much" to "probably less than I would have if not for the pandemic." They described boring lectures, posting on chat boards, and "pretending" to do labs instead of actually doing them.

All agreed that successfully meeting their learning goalsdepended on personal commitment and effort, which ...
