different, but her story is far from ordinary.The stories of how she

We often see ourselves as life’s main character and sometimes we
are. Other times, however, we’re a side character in someone
else’s story. We’re not the driving force of important events but
an observer of another person’s actions.In such cases, we may not
get top billing with our name in the title, but that doesn’t mean
our role is unimportant. As these five famous novels show, being the
side character can give us access to deeper truths and a richer
appreciation of the human condition than those too busy propelling the
story forward.

Einstein’s theory of gravity is a cornerstone of modern cosmology.
It has been tested and proven correct over and over again and is
supported by the discovery of countless cosmic phenomena: from
the gravitational lensing detected by Arthur Eddington in 1919 and
the anomalies observed in the orbit of Mercury, to galactic redshifts
and gravitational waves. The theory of general relativity—to give
Einstein’s theory of gravity its proper name—has precisely
predicted them all.But astronomical observations near the
“cosmological horizon”—where the farthest galaxies recede from
us at nearly the speed of light—suggest gravity may act differently
at the very largest scales. Now, some scientists propose Einstein’s
theory of gravity could be improved by adding a simple “footnote”
to his equations, which amounts to a “cosmic glitch” in the
scientific understanding of gravity.

In March, a federal judge ruled that the Minority Business Development
Agency, an organization that has helped thousands of minority-owned
businesses over the last 55 years, had to begin serving people
regardless of race. The agency has since made adjustments to give help
to all businesses owned by socially or economically disadvantaged
people in obtaining financing and government contracts.The Associated
Press recently spoke to Eric Morrissette, acting undersecretary of
commerce for minority business development and leader of the MBDA,
about what comes next for the agency. The interview has been edited

An industry that saw waves of store growth before the COVID-19
pandemic faces headwinds like falling prescription reimbursement,
persistent theft and changing shopping habits. But as drugstores
right-size their physical footprint, experts say they can leave behind
communities that have come to depend on them as trusted sources of
care and advice--both of which can be hard to find in many urban and
rural areas."That trust, you just can't quantify it," said Omolola
Adepoju, a University of Houston health services researcher. "And I

So the organization approached a handful of influential party campaign

Restaurants are among the biggest beneficiaries of social media
promotions and marketing campaigns, to the point where customers will
often proclaim their love for a brand on video. But when diners are
unhappy, things can turn sour pretty fast when vindictive goes
viral--as casual-fast Mexican grill chain Chipotle is now
learning.Chipotle used its own social media chops when it
came under fire from a widening cadre of TikTok users
accusing the company of serving smaller portions at the same
prices--allegations of a taco-scale case of shrinkflation. That led to
a knock-on reaction of people filming orders being prepared to ensure
they weren't being cheated out of their due--and showing their
evidence if they felt shorted. The trend went far enough
that many uploaded clips touted that the act of recording their
food preparation resulted in supersize servings
getting dished up by nervous employees--a claim that seems to
encourage more people to try the so-called "Chipotle phone
hack."

"two grams of prebiotic fiber, an amount too low to cause meaningful
gut health benefits for the consumer from just one can." It also
claims that one would have to consume more than four sodas per day in
order to experience meaningful gut health benefits.

American Express has seen its shares rise by 25 percent this year, and
part of this is owed to its high-spending Gen Z and Millennial
consumers: Approximately 60 percent of new accounts made this first
quarter were opened by these two groups, the company shared in
its first-quarter review. "We continue to attract high-spending,
high credit-quality customers to the franchise, with new card
acquisitions accelerating sequentially to 3.4 million in the quarter,"
CEO and chairman Stephen Squeri said in a press release. These
younger generations are creating accounts with premium Gold and
Platinum cards, the Wall Street Journal reported: More than
three-quarters of new accounts in 2023 for these two plans were by Gen
Z and Millennial consumers. Instead of starting with cheaper or no-fee
cards and then building up, these spenders immediately secure plans
with higher fees and benefits--such as the $250 annual fee of the Gold
card or the $695 annual fee of the Platinum.

Many companies have set goals to increase employee diversity, and many
companies have fallen short of meeting their goals. Most leaders would
likely prefer to keep this lack of progress quiet, but research shows
that there may be benefits to being transparent about it.
Specifically, this type of disclosure can signal that you take
diversity seriously and are genuinely committed to the goals you’ve
set for your organization. That said, taking too long to make progress
can dampen any goodwill you might receive from disclosure.

world, advising regulators around the world on the unique promise and
risk of AI, while leading its own technical work on bias assessment
and watermarking.The company’s head of global policy, Irene

Every president of the United States has within their grasp the power
of a vast surveillance state that has grown significantly over the
past few decades and has beaten back any real effort to rein it in.
Through America's numerous enigmatic intelligence agencies, presidents
possess the ability to dive deeply into the communications, movements,
and relationships of everyday Americans. Presidents of both parties
have abused the surveillance state, but under a second Trump
administration, this power could be abused in ways it has never been
before.Donald Trump, a now convicted felon and the presumptive 2024
Republican presidential nominee, has said he plans to prosecute his
political opponents should he return to the White House. He's said he
would allow states to monitor pregnant women and prosecute those who
seek abortions. Trump wants to deport millions of undocumented
immigrants. He plans to invoke the Insurrection Act to quell civil
unrest, which means sending the military into the streets. The much
publicized Project 2025 outlines how he would quickly replace
thousands of career civil servants in the federal government with

The communication platform Discord has expanded greatly over the
nine-ish years since its launch, growing from a humble bit of chat
software into a juggernaut of the social internet. Users love it for
texting, voice calls, or video calls with friends or strangers with
common interests. Itâ™s like Zoom, but more flexible and fun.
It's Slack, but without that feeling that your boss is always checking
your online status. Facebook, without an algorithm that prioritizes
the types of posts that turned your aunt into a racist.Discord is
primarily intended for gaming and niche interest groups. Since it was
originally built for gamers, and youâ™ll still find a lot of
communities dedicated to gaming on the platform. During the pandemic,
Discord expanded its reach in an effort to appeal to more than just
gamers, and the platform has grown into a space where the
conversations reach far outside of gaming territory into music,
culture, politics, art, finance, and weirdo AI art.

listen to music all day, often on exceedingly fancy and
bonkers-expensive models. We have playlists for testing bass, for
assessing detail, for dance partiesâwe get way into it. But believe
it or not, we like testing the cheap stuff just as much. It's like a
treasure hunt to find the ones that pack in the most tech for the
money. And they're getting better every year.

Big Tech's appetite for energy is just about visible from the east
coast of Scotland. Some 12 miles out to sea sits a wind farm, where
each of the 60 giant turbines has blades roughly the length of an
American football field. The utility companies behind the Moray West
project had promised the site would be capable of generating enough
electricity to power 1.3 million homes once completed. That was before
Amazon stepped in.In January, Amazon announced it had struck a deal to
claim more than half the site's 880 megawatts of output, part of its
ongoing attempt to slake its unquenchable thirst for power. As the
world's biggest companies race to build the infrastructure necessary
to enable artificial intelligence, even remote Scottish wind farms are
becoming indispensable.

music in multiple rooms, you understand why so many people love Sonos.
When it comes to set-it and-forget-it multiroom audio, the company
makes the hardware and software experience easier than anyone. From
speakers to soundbars (and even turntables and networked amps), Sonos
has taken over the homes of everyone who doesn't want to drop oodles
of cash on a "real" custom-installed system with wires running through
walls. In a roundabout way, this makes a somewhat-costly Sonos system
feel affordable.

Surgeons in New York have removed a pig kidney less than two months
after transplanting it into Lisa Pisano, a 54-year-old woman with
kidney failure who also needed a mechanical heart pump. The team
behind the transplant says there were problems with the heart pump,
not the pig kidney, and that the patient is in stable condition.Pisano
was facing heart and kidney failure and required routine dialysis. She
wasn't eligible to receive a traditional heart and kidney transplant
from a human donor because of several chronic medical conditions that
reduced the likelihood of a good outcome.

On March 9, Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla, daughter of former South African
president Jacob Zuma, tweeted a video that purported to show former US
president Donald Trump encouraging âÂÂall South Africans to vote
for uMkhonto WeSizwe,â her fatherâ™s party, in the
countryâ™s May 29 elections. In another post, just days
before the elections, Zuma-Sambudla, who has more than 300,000
followers, shared videos and photos of what appeared to be paper
ballots. The accompanying text accused the African National Congress
(ANC), the party currently leading the government, of stealing votes.
That post has been viewed nearly 650,000 times.Experts who spoke to
WIRED say that X, formerly Twitter, was a major source of
election-related mis- and disinformation in the lead-up to the vote,
which dealt a major blow to the ANC. And Zuma-Sambudla was a

In a study conducted in the urban slums of Brazil, Wharton’s Leo
Pongeluppe finds that economic mobility is often accompanied by social
stigma.Entrepreneurship can be a promising career path for people
facing discrimination in traditional job markets, and training
programs that develop entrepreneurial skills can help improve
socioeconomic mobility. But they can also bring unintended
consequences, according to a new study by Wharton management professor
Leandro (Leo) Pongeluppe.

Google apparently accidentally posted a big stash of internal
technical documents to GitHub, partially detailing how the search
engine ranks webpages. For most of us, the question of search rankings
is just "are my web results good or bad," but the SEO community is
both thrilled to get a peek behind the curtain and up in arms since
the docs apparently contradict some of what Google has told them in
the past. Most of the commentary on the leak is from SEO experts Rand
Fishkin and Mike King.

21-mile feat in 14 hours and 34 minutes—a record that would stand
until 1950. She was just a few months shy of her 21st birthday. It's
the kind of classic sports story tailor-made for the silver screen,
and Disney has obliged with its new biopic The Young Woman and the
