Social Media Points Out Sexism in Olympics Coverage

The 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro have come to an end, but people are still discussing media coverage of the event. Several comments by Olympic broadcasters about women athletes led to a debate. During the team gymnastics competition, for example, an American broadcaster commented about the smiling and laughing U.S. women’s team. They had just easily won a round of the competition. The announcer said that the athletes “might as well be standing in the middle of a mall.”

More Surprises from the Deep Sea

Researchers hired to study part of the deep sea floor of the Pacific Ocean found a surprising number of new animal species. Scientists at the University of Hawaii at Manoa studied a 900-square-kilometer area in the eastern part of the Pacific Ocean known as the Clarion-Clipperton Zone, or CCZ. Their goal was to find and study new kinds of sea life. Their task included documenting what is living in the deep sea area, known as an abyss.

93 Million Miles - Jason Mraz

Video: https://youtu.be/bcQwIxRcaYs

93 million miles from the sun
People get ready, get ready
Cause here it comes, it's a light
A beautiful light, over the horizon
Into our eyes
Oh, my, my, how beautiful
Oh, my beautiful mother
She told me, son, in life you're gonna go far
If you do it right, you'll love where you are
Just know, wherever you go
You can always come home

240 thousand miles from the moon
We've come a long way to belong here
To share this view of the night
A glorious night
Over the horizon is another bright sky
Oh, my, my, how beautiful,
Oh, my irrefutable father
He told me, son, sometimes it may seem dark
But the absence of the light is a necessary part
Just know, you're never alone,
You can always come back home
Home
Home
You can always come back

Every road is a slippery slope
But there is always a hand that you can hold on to
Looking deeper through the telescope
You can see that your home's inside of you

Just know, that wherever you go,
No, you're never alone,
You will always get back home
Home
Home

93 million miles from the sun
People get ready, get ready
Cause here it comes, it's a light
A beautiful light, over the horizon
Into our eyes
