By Victor Omondi George R. Carruthers, an astrophysicist and engineer, who designed a telescope used by astronauts on the moon as part of the Apollo 16 mission in 1972, is dead at 81 years. The mission was NASA’s attempt to examine Earth’s atmosphere and the composition of interstellar space. Dr. Carruthers had developed an interest in space science from an early age and managed to build his first telescope at 10-years of age. Virtually, his entire career was spent at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington.

Ace Burpee s 100-plus most interesting Manitobans for 2020

I say this every year, but it doesn’t make it any less true: I’ve left a lot on the table this year. So many people stepped up and did incredible things in 2020. There were thousands of people who achieved amazing things, faced the pandemic battle on the front lines, gave back, received awards and impacted lives. I try to do 100 new names every year and not repeat any from previous lists. That said, I’ve still got dozens of names to carry forward to next year. Please stay safe and look after yourself. All the best, always. A COVID-19 suspected patient is brought into a resuscitation bay in the adult emergency department at the Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg on Tuesday, Dec. 8, 2020. The amount of personal sacrifice for literally putting their own lives at risk to help others is immeasurable, says Burpee. (Mikaela MacKenzie / Winnipeg Free Press files)

Akron Teachers Keeping Students Engaged In A Year Of Constant Change

Originally published on January 4, 2021 2:15 pm Learning isn’t easy for students or parents during a pandemic, with classrooms closed and lessons delivered remotely. It’s not easy for teachers, either. In front of a computer screen instead of a classroom, they work to keep their often distracted students engaged, but not overwhelmed. They miss the interaction in-person schooling affords – the chance to help with emotional issues or simply to give and receive a reassuring hug. And many teachers are parents themselves, teaching their students while also supervising their own children’s learning. It’s a lot. We talked with four Akron Public Schools teachers about how they’re adapting to a year of massive change.
