While Ray will be onboard for a while, I’d like to thank him today for his contributions to Microsoft, both as a leader and as a long time Microsoft ISV. As an early ISV, Ray contributed significantly to the early success of Windows. Since being at Microsoft, both through inspiration and impact he’s been instrumental in our transition toward a software world now centered on services.
Perseverance deputy project manager Matt Wallace, who’s working his fifth Mars rover mission, said the pandemic won’t dampen the mood come landing day. “I don’t think COVID’s going to be able to stop us from jumping up and down, and fist bumping,” he said. “You’re going to see a lot of happy people no matter what, once we get this thing on the surface safely.” ___ The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Department of Science Education.

When I finally received the new lenses, it was immediately apparent that something was wrong. My vision was dangerously poor, and the glasses were unwearable. After some experimentation I realized that Lensabl had failed to correct for the geometry of the inserts when installed in the frames.
Scientists say that while people who remain obese from childhood into adulthood were most at risk of dying, modest weight gains throughout a lifespan can increase the “probability of survival”. Experts said individuals who put on weight in later life often lived longer than those who remained trim. The findings were made following a study based on two generations of Americans followed over nearly seven decades.
By combining GROND data taken through these seven filters with Swift observations, astronomers were able to accurately determine the amount of light emitted by the afterglow at widely differing wavelengths, all the way from high energy X rays to the near infrared. They then used this data to directly measure the amount of obscuring dust between the GRB and observers on Earth. Thankfully, the team has found that dark GRBs don’t require exotic explanations..
