Ninety miles outside Phoenix, Bopp and his astronomy club were out stargazing as usual. The 47-year-old Bopp, who worked in the parts department of a concrete manufacturer, didn’t own a telescope. He just loved the star-quilted darkness and kept coming to the desert despite the locals who mistook him for a coyote and shot at him. Bopp’s friend Jim Stevens had brought along his own telescope. They took turns exploring near Sagittarius....

Now, players are eagerly-anticipating on what’s next for the Nintendo Switch. Last year, the company released a refreshed version of the original with better battery life and the Nintendo Switch Lite, which is the dedicated handheld version of the console. Several months ago, rumors surfaced that Nintendo is already developing a Pro version of the console, which will reportedly feature a 4K resolution, among other improvements. However, if a new Switch is indeed on the way, it is important for Nintendo to introduce a fix to a long-standing flaw on the hybrid console, which is Joy-Con drift....
But research and experience suggest we’re doing it wrong: placing inflexible demands on ourselves or our employees will not result in better performance. And any good manager knows using criticism (or self-criticism) to motivate only causes anxiety and resentment and undermines morale and confidence. Sadly, most of us continue using these techniques, though we know they’re ineffective and unsustainable in the long run. Leaders continue working 60-hour weeks, sending emails to their staff at 2 a....
Director Kat Coiro and head writer Jessica Gao have wrapped up She-Hulk: Attorney at Law’s first-season run with the most self-aware episode of the series by far. For its first couple of acts, “Whose Show Is This?” follows the familiar formula of Marvel’s finale episodes. The hero finds herself at her lowest point – jobless, homeless, and legally forbidden from using her superpowers for good – and all the storylines intersect for a big climactic battle sequence....
RELATED: Video Games That Do Romance Right Most things Sims can do in the game can only be done at certain locations. Cooking requires a fridge, playing video games requires a computer or TV or tablet, and going for a swim means Sims will need a pool in their yard. But WooHoo?

Why should you care about this historical quirk? Because it typifies the hit-or-miss way that Social Security has evolved from a modest program into something that threatens to devour the federal budget. Even if you think you’ll never see a dime of Social Security benefits, your stake in the program is immense, societally and personally. With annual expenditures of more than $400 billion, it dwarfs the Pentagon’s annual budget of $283 billion....
I made a choice in favor of freedom and democracy, which was bound to lead to the abolition of the monopoly [on power] held by the party, to political pluralism. It was bound to lead to political reforms [and] reforms of property. But this is a very complicated process, especially here. And what is happening now is bad … I would say [the cold war actually ended] in ‘89, maybe even before ‘89–the movement started already then....
Haier, the leading appliance maker in China, is well known in its home market for its innovative goods. The company sells a clothes washer with an attachment for kneading noodle dough, a clothes washer that will clean potatoes (popular with farmers) and a “prevent near-sightedness TV,” designed for children of working parents. It cuts off when anyone gets within two feet of the unit. Laugh, but such products have helped boost Haier’s sales to more than $5 billion annually and placed it among the world leaders in appliance sales (No....
Le Carre’s smooth, erudite style almost pulls ““Single’’ up to the level of his cold-war thrillers. He begins with a terrifying execution on a Turkish hillside, throws in a low-rent magician on the Devon coast in chapter two and links them–plausibly–in chapter three. He writes subtly delicious sentences: ““Lanxon gardened at his pipe, gouging sodden tobacco onto an ashtray.’’ But swell writing doesn’t carry a spy novel. Too many characters are straight from central casting, ’90s edition....

Recently speaking with CinemaBlend, the visionary director revealed his initial vision for The Suicide Squad’s ending, claiming that he just couldn’t go through with it as he was sorting through earlier drafts.

There have been rumors about the sultan’s imported harems for years. Ernesto Maceda, now president of the Philippine Senate, conducted hearings in 1993 into reports that the sultan had been luring Filipina models and performers to Brunei under false pretenses. But Marketic’s suit, in which she charges the world’s richest monarch with kidnapping and transporting women for prostitution and asks for more than $10 million in damages, is the first to accuse him of anything in court....
