Butterfield, with Willie’s encouragement, set out to trace Bosket’s family tree. He was able to follow it back to the wretched days of the pre-Civil War South. Forget Margaret Mitchell’s fantasies.

The 533-pound shark, known as Cabot, swam inland from the Atlantic into the estuary on Wednesday, with its tracker pinging at around 8 p.m. close to Point Harbour, WAVY reported. Cabot was tagged with a monitoring device by non-profit OCEARCH in 2013. This tag enables scientists to monitor the animal’s movements, providing insights into its behavior. The shark was named after the Italian navigator John Cabot who sailed along the coast of North America in 1497 in what was the earliest known European exploration of this part of the world since the visits of Norse Vikings in the eleventh century....
While it is perfectly fine to ask divine guidance in choosing a legislative course, that is no substitute for making an effort to understand what you’re voting on. Last Wednesday the United States Senate did not do so, and instead voted 86 to 14 in favor of Exon’s amendment, cleverly entitled the Communications Decency Act. Thus did the Senate take a sledgehammer to our single most promising new medium. The Congress that pledged to keep government off our backs now vows to install censors on the shoulder of anyone who taps a message onto a network....

These laws might not necessarily bind you like the legal framework of governments because they’re not policies. Instead, they can be defined as observable patterns that repeat in specific settings.

Moore’s Law Moore’s law was formulated in 1965 by the former CEO of Intel and co-founder of Fairchild Semiconductor, Gordon Moore....
