The Virginia teacher’s effort is admirable. It’s also shameful that effort is needed. Gabe Segal, 29, is now teaching in the same Virginia community where both his parents taught. (Erica Nagy/Courtesy of Gabe Segal ) As Gabe Segal tells it, when he decided months ago to pay off every student’s meal debt at the Virginia middle school where he teaches, the cost was about $1,200. Now, he said, that number is closer to $7,500. Before the school year ends, he expects that amount will increase even more. But no matter where that final figure lands, Segal plans to cover the…

All his life Sergio Peralta dreamed of playing tag. When he was born, Peralta said his right hand was not fully developed. Instead, tiny fingers grew at the end of his arm. He learned how to do everyday tasks – writing, eating, carrying books – with one hand. Over the years, the 15-year-old lost hope that that would change. But after that Peralta enrolled in a new high school in August where engineering students built him a prosthetic hand — a gesture the sophomore said changed his life. Now Peralta can not only throw a ball, but also carry water…

Designed to fly at high altitudes and at supersonic speeds, the United States Air Force‘s Convair B-58 Hustler was actually the first operational bomber capable of Mach 2 flights. The B-58 was developed in the 1950s for the Air Force’s Strategic Air Command (SAC), and relied on speed as its primary defense. The thinking at the time was that with an aircraft that flew fast enough and even high enough, the enemy couldn’t shoot it down. B-58 Hustler: A Bomber with a Purpose  For its time, the B-58 Hustler was revolutionary in many ways. It featured a radical delta wing shape, but…

The Daytime Emmy Awards will now not settle for nominations for “The View” or any of its hosts. The choice got here after Emmy Awards Worldwide LLC moved to make its program extra inclusive of right-leaning reveals comparable to Fox Information’ “The 5,” which has by no means acquired the nod. “We wish folks to know that we are able to’t hold placing these ladies on a pedestal once they’re actually simply horrible,” stated firm CEO Joe Barron, “Whoopi is poisonous. What if she’s about to win an award and she or he says one thing pro-Hitler once more? What’s…

Now that’s friendship goals. Martha Stewart gets a tattoo portrait of Snoop Dogg, 51, in a new Super Bowl commercial for Skechers.

Silence is golden — unless you find yourself in the quietest room in the world. In 2015, Microsoft built what is now in the Guinness Book of World Records as the quietest place on the planet. Known as the anechoic chamber at the company’s headquarters in Redmond, Washington, “ultra-sensitive tests” performed in 2015 gave an average background noise reading of -20.35 dBA (decibels A-weighted — a measurement of the sound pressure level). Only very few people have been able to withstand being in the room for a long period of time — at most an hour. After a few minutes, you’ll already start…

YouTube / chiefmichaeles AIR SHOW PRACTICE TURNED DISASTER On June 24, 1994, this B-52H bomber and its four crewmembers were on a practice run to prepare for an upcoming air show. The aircraft took off at 13:58 and performed a series of low-altitude passes, 60-degree banked turns, and steep climbs. Its last demonstration, a touch-and-go on Runway 23 of Fairchild AFB, was delayed because a KC-135 just landed. The pilot, Lieutenant Colonel Arthur “Bud” Holland, requested a 360-degree left turn for the go-around, which the ATC subsequently granted.

When you think about WWII planes, you think of the Mustangs, Lightnings, and Spitfires. However, one aircraft seems to have evaded everyone’s radar – the P-80 Shooting Star.
