Things I learned lately 6 Dec


  • Starbucks opened a five story Reserve Roastery in Chicago. At 35,000 sq ft, it's the biggest in the world. You can get pizza, cocktails as well as the usual pastries and coffee.
  • The Airbus A-380 double-decker jet airliner will be discontinued after 2021.
  • Erykah Badu (pictured) spends a lot of her time working as a doula.
  • Have you ever heard the name John B. Goodenough? Well, you should have. He was part of the team that invented RAM and also was instrumental in developing the current lithium ion battery technology that runs our mobile world today. He's also on the team with Maria Braga working on a solid state battery that uses a special kind of "glassy" electrolyte instead of lithium.
  • If you're at the start of your career or contemplating a change of direction, studies show you should stop trying to 'follow your passion' to the right job for you, and instead ask yourself this simple question: "What do I truly care about?" 'Purpose' is a far better career compass than joy. 
  • A recently proposed anti-abortion bill in Ohio would require doctors to attempt to re-implant an ectopic pregnancy into the woman’s uterus or face criminal charges for murder, despite the fact that it is a medically impossible procedure. Republicans introduced House Bill 413 in Ohio, which would outlaw abortions in all circumstances, except in cases where the mother’s life is at risk. The bill would consider doctors who terminate pregnancies or even teens who get an abortion guilty of murder and subject to penalties of up to life in prison or even the death penalty.
