Right now in America, there are about two million homes with solar panels. Considering there are about 90 million single-family homes, that doesn’t seem like a lot. But consider this: We’re now on track to start adding a million new solar-powered systems each year. It’s taken a while to get here, but solar energy is increasingly becoming a popular option to power the home of the future.

This updated advisory is in response to the increase of ransomware attacks in recent months against critical US infrastructure, such as the May 2021 ransomware attack that disrupted the operations of Colonial Pipeline, the largest pipeline system for refined oil products in the United States. This attack led to widespread gasoline shortages that affected tens of millions of Americans. Other recent targets include entities in the manufacturing, legal services, insurance, financial services, health care, energy, and food production sectors.

The body's ability to fight disease and heal itself is one of the great mysteries and marvels of nature. But in recent years, painstaking research has resulted in major advances in our grasp of this breathtakingly beautiful inner world....

The search for success - oh, how daunting it often is. We all want it, but we do not all know how to attain it. Every day, we are bombarded with standards of success we believe apply to us. However, success is not a one-size-fits-all garment. Success is not something we can simply shop and wear. No, success is scalable, completely variable depending on the person pursuing it. Most importantly, success is something we must keenly focus on attaining in alignment with our own personal goals and genuine interests in life.

With In a Flight of Starlings, celebrated physicist Giorgio Parisi guides us through his unorthodox yet exhilarating work, starting with investigating the principles of physics by observing the flight of flocks of birds. Studying the movements of these communities, he has realized, proves an illuminating way into understanding complex systems of all kinds—collections of everything from atoms and planets to other animals, such as ourselves. Along the way, he reflects on the lessons he has taken from a life in pursuit of scientific truth.

The Accidental Ecosystem tells the story of how cities across the United States went from having little wildlife to filling, dramatically and unexpectedly, with wild creatures. Today, many of these cities have more wild animals living in them than at any time in at least the past 150 years. Why have so many cities—the most artificial and human-dominated of all Earth's ecosystems—grown rich with wildlife, even as wildlife has declined in most of the rest of the world? And what does this paradox mean for people, wildlife, and nature on our increasingly urban planet?

The solar system has fallen, and the galaxy awaits. The Sol system has now gained admission to galactic society, a junior member held in little esteem, with obligations mounting.

The threats and opportunities surrounding them have never been so great, and the answers to some long unanswered questions will finally reveal themselves.

The volcano - among the most familiar and perhaps the most terrifying of all geological phenomena. However, Earth isn't the only planet to harbour volcanoes. In fact, the solar system, and probably the entire universe, is littered with them. Our own Moon, which is now a dormant piece of rock, had lava flowing across its surface billions of years ago, while Mars can be credited with the largest volcano in the solar system.

Kids who enjoy looking up at space and dreaming of exploring the solar system will love this lively, fact-filled tour of our galaxy, with engaging information.
