Stargazing: Is it the time again for a meteoroid to hit Earth?
According to NASA’s Asteroid Fast Facts page, a lot of space material lands on Earth every year. From the NASA page: “Every day, Earth is bombarded with more than 100 tons of dust and sand-sized particles. “About once a year, an automobile-sized asteroid hits Earth's atmosphere, creates an impressive fireball, and burns up before reaching the surface. Every 2,000 years or so, a meteoroid the size of a football field hits Earth and causes significant damage to the area.” When is the next one coming? No one knows. But NASA and other organizations worldwide constantly watch out for possible impactors from space. Even so, some escape discovery until they hit.

Concrete pour with 150 trucks closes streets overnight in downtown Oklahoma City
More than 1,500 cubic yards of concrete slurry, delivered by 150 trucks, was poured overnight Friday for the foundation of a new entrance and exit ramp tower that will provide access to structured parking as part of the redevelopment of First National Center. Demolition of the 1971 First National annex facing Broadway started in July 2018 and wrapped over the summer. Developer Gary Brooks said the late-hour pour was scheduled to avoid traffic hassles and other inconveniences to downtown workers, visitors and residents as a result of the large line-up of trucks. The new tower will connect to the 1957 annex facing Park Avenue that is being converted into parking. The first two floors will be rebuilt as a retail gallery.

China’s advanced type PCL191 multiple rocket system in strategic proximity to Taiwan – reports
A report in the latest issue of Modern Ships praises the Chinese multiple launch rocket system called the Type PCL191 as the most cutting-edge piece of weaponry capable of firing both rockets and ballistic missiles. The modular launcher appears to be based on the AR3 system intended for the export market. Unlike other weaponry on display in Beijing during China’s National Day military parade on 1 October, the Type PCL191, dubbed by CCTV as “a self-propelled rocket launcher with precision strike capability”, traveled up and down the streets of the capital loaded on the back of heavy-duty trucks almost anonymously, the report has it. It also gives an in-depth description of the system’s capacity saying it can carry eight 370 mm (14½ inch) rockets – each with a range of 350 km (220 miles) – or two 750 mm Fire Dragon 480 tactical ballistic missiles, capable of flying up to 500 km.

Nature & You: Making sense of last-minute Christmas gift choices can be bewildering

The 6 biggest snubs from the 2020 Golden Globe nominations
The Golden Globe nominations are here to baffle everyone once again. The nominations for 2020's show announced Monday are chock-full of shocking snubs, from the biggest television event in recent memory getting almost completely shut out to an acclaimed limited series getting zero nominations. Let's run through some of the oddest snubs from this year's Golden Globe nominations. 1. Almost no Game of Thrones - Believe it or not, Game of Thrones picked up just one single nomination, with Kit Harington landing an acting nod. Other than that, the series was shockingly almost completely shut out of the show, not landing in the best drama series category at all. 2. No When They See Us - The acclaimed Ava DuVernay Netflix drama was one of the nominees for Outstanding Limited Series at the Emmys, but at the Golden Globes, it was shut out entirely. 3. No De Niro - Robert De Niro has been considered an Oscar favorite for his performance in The Irishman, yet he failed to pick up a nomination in the lead drama actor category.…

Kumasi-based Angel FM’s reporters who toured dozens of schools this morning on day one that the strike took effect reported that teachers were in classrooms and going about their normal duties, this portal monitored on Monday. The Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) and the Coalition of Concerned Teachers Ghana (CCT-GH) however insist that their nationwide strike is in full force. The three teacher unions say their industrial action is in connection with the failure of the government to pay some “legacy arrears” owed some of its members as far back as 2012 to 2016. “In line of this development, we, the Ghana National Association of Teachers, National Association of Graduated Teachers, Coalition of Concerned Teachers Ghana…
We broke down the differences between credit card points and frequent flyer miles — here’s why you should be collecting both
Even though a ton of credit cards offer “points” or “miles” for every dollar you spend, those points can be very different things. Each bank and frequent flyer program has its own rewards currency that can be used in different ways. That makes it complicated when you’re trying to choose a credit card; two different cards could offer double points on purchases, but those points could have different values, and could be best for two different things.

I’m young, single, and healthy, but I just bought $300,000 of life insurance and it was a no-brainer
When you're young, single and healthy, life insurance is probably the furthest thing from your mind. After all, you're in the prime of your life and have other expenses to think about. You're saving for retirement, a home, or investing for your future. Putting funds towards an event that is statistically unlikely to happen in the immediate future sounds like a waste of money. At least that's what I thought. The importance of having life insurance didn't hit home until I lost two younger family members within the same year. Both passings were unexpected and a complete shock. These were two perfectly healthy young men in their early 20s. Friends and family pitched in to cover funeral expenses, which provided the families one less thing to worry about during difficult times. Nothing makes up for the loss of a loved one, but the removal of that financial stress allows grieving families some reprieve. Their deaths made me realize life insurance is a no-brainer These events got me thinking about how absurd my invincibility…

The 10 Best Jazz Albums Of 2019
This wasn’t a year of radical transformation in the world of jazz. There was no single breakout star, and no explosion like the sudden realization last year that some really major shit was going down in London. But a tremendous amount of extraordinarily good music was released, and there was something for just about every taste. If you liked smooth modern jazz with one foot in R&B, then trumpeter Marquis Hill’s Love Tape was for you; if you wanted intricately composed chamber music, saxophonist Anna Webber’s Clockwise was a must-hear; if you wanted to throw your arms in the air and dance like a maniac, sax/synth/drums trio the Comet Is Coming had two records, Trust In The Lifeforce Of The Deep Mystery and The Aftermath, to play as loudly as your lease would allow. As always, there were deaths: the Art Ensemble Of Chicago’s Joseph Jarman, keyboardist/singer Dr. John, drummer Ginger Baker, pianists Michel Legrand, Harold Mabern, and Larry Willis, guitarist and longtime ECM Records

RNC, DNC bank on Duo authentication ahead 2020 election
The Republican National Committee is relying on authentication tools and careful social media behavior in order to avoid a devastating data breach like the kind that derailed its Democratic counterparts in 2016. The RNC, which develops and promotes the party’s platform and currently supports President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign, is banking on Duo Security, which specializes in multi-factor authentication, to keep state-sponsored hackers out of party accounts, according to recent Federal Election Commission filings. Even if a user’s password credentials are stolen, an extra layer of authentication can ensure that only the legitimate account holder could access his or her communications. Since March of this year, the RNC has paid just over $1,000 per month to Duo, according to FEC filings. The RNC started using Duo in 2016, just days before the election. And it’s not just email account access the RNC is trying to protect — the RNC uses multiple layers of authentication to protect other […]
