  • Madison woman gets new species named after her (WI) (“Waukeshaaspis eatonae”)

    Madison Magazine ^ | November 15, 2024 | Maggie Ginsburg
    Imagine this: It’s 1984, and two amateur paleontologists are digging in a quarry near Waukesha when they discover what ultimately turns out to be about 2,000 invertebrate fossils — things like soft-bodied worms and shelled creatures like snails and tiny crustaceans, essentially entombed. They are an astonishing 430 million years old and many have never been seen before. Forty years later, as researchers are still identifying and classifying new species from the rare collection, one of them names a little trilobite after you. “It still hasn’t sunk in. It is such a huge, huge honor,” says Carrie Eaton, who is...

  • National Book Lovers Day – August 9, 2024 (What Are You Reading?)

    Books are the purest form of escapism. They can take you to any time, place, or culture. In honor of National Book Lovers Day August 9, we put away our smartphones, pull out a good book and simply read. (Well, an audiobook will suffice too.) From clay tablets to today’s eBooks, literature has played a crucial role in preserving cultures, educating the masses, and storytelling. Thanks to Johannes Gutenberg’s 15th-century printing press, anyone, not just royalty, monks or landed gentry, could read and own books. But, alas, there was no overnight shipping. Today, join a book club or re-read a...

  • Shoplifters love Lego. The colorful plastic toy bricks are a goldmine for criminals

    Lego’s fanbase, which famously cuts across kids, teenagers and grownup collectors, is seeing some unsavory characters break into the mix, and for all the wrong reasons. Lego products, especially the pricier sets that range from over $100 to $1,000 or more, are being targeted for theft both by individual shoplifters and larger organized retail crime rings who make a beeline for sets sitting on store shelves because they can fetch a good profit at resale both in legal and illegal channels. Miguel Zuniga, who operates a Bricks & Minifigs Lego resale franchise store in Lumita, Los Angeles County, is still...

  • EXCLUSIVEIt's Wokehammer! Games Workshop engulfed in gender row with fans after it said Warhammer squadron that was previously thought of as men-only has 'always had females'

    Daily Mail ^ | April 16, 2024 | Aiden Radnedge
    A 'woke' gender row has broken out among Games Workshop fantasy fans after women were added to an army squadron for the first time. Bosses behind the Warhammer game have introduced a female character to one of its most popular table-top battalions whose devotees include film star Henry Cavill. But some men are furious at the move, insisting that the 'Adeptus Custodes' brigade has always been all-male and any changes should have been done differently. A new edition of Warhammer 40,000 fantasy fiction introduces a character named 'Custodian Calladyce Taurovalia Kesh' - and using female pronouns for her. Long-time fans...
