The New York Giants took a flier on a project quarterback when they acquired 2024 first-round draft pick J.J. McCarthy from the Minnesota Vikings for a 2027 fifth-round draft choice earlier this week. It sounds like an NFL scout and an assistant coach think Giants fans should be realistic about what McCarthy will and won’t offer the club.Vikings may know all there is to know about J.J. McCarthy”There’s no doubt McCarthy has talent,” the scout told Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports for an article published on Thursday. “He’s probably a good fit for what [the Giants] want to do, too. But honestly, if the Vikings were willing…
A recent national poll conducted by Harvard University revealed that young Americans are a pessimistic bunch. People between ages 18 and 29 view inflation and the rising cost of housing as national crises. More than a quarter of young adults believe they’ll end up worse off financially than their parents. And only 13% say the country is on the right track.Yet when it comes to doing something about it — such as voting — Gen Z is pretty apathetic. Fewer than half of young Americans voted in the 2024 elections. With the midterms fast approaching, the Harvard survey found that…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways PR can raise a company’s visibility and credibility, but it works best as a long-term trust-building tool—not a shortcut to immediate sales. Entrepreneurs get more value from PR when they consistently provide real news, insights, milestones and stories that give journalists a reason to pay attention. When entrepreneurs come to me looking for PR, many have the same expectation: Get me featured in the media and my business will grow. I understand where that expectation comes from. We see founders on magazine covers, companies announcing funding rounds and products appearing…
In some ways, finding exoplanets is amazingly easy.It doesn’t necessarily take a huge telescope and sophisticated equipment to detect these alien worlds. Characterizing them, however—getting detailed information on their size, orbital period, and more—is usually more difficult.Studying their atmospheres is currently at the cutting edge of what we can do, because that does indeed take state-of-the-art observatories. For example, astronomers can painstakingly gather a star’s light after it has physically passed through an orbiting planet’s air and look for the subtle signatures of various molecules absorbing some of that light at specific wavelengths.On supporting science journalismIf you’re enjoying this article,…
For the first time in the nearly 50-year history of the event, the Kennedy Center Honors will not be held inside the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts this year, the center announced Friday. With the main building currently closed to the public, and safety assessments still underway, the center announced it plans to move the celebration of American performing arts to Capital One Arena in downtown Washington, D.C., which seats around 20,000 people compared to the 2,300 seats in the center’s Opera House, where the awards ceremony has traditionally been held.This year’s ceremony is scheduled for…
It’s disheartening how much power gets generated and then promptly lost as it travels through grid networks. This leaking of electricity happens when it vanishes as heat as well as when it is pilfered by thieves and nonpaying customers. More than half of the countries that track these metrics lost at least 10 percent of their electricity in 2023, according to the World Bank. Losses topped 20 percent for 24 of those nations. Two countries lost more than half of what they generated. With numbers this high, cutting down on losses makes sense. Electricity demand is rising beyond what many…
Imagine running a private company where most of your office buildings failed to meet even a 60% utilization target, yet you continued paying the rent, utilities, maintenance, security, repairs, and operating costs year after year. How long would that company survive? Welcome to the federal government. The Government Accountability Office examined the Department of Transportation’s real estate portfolio and found that 89% of its 189 federally owned and leased office buildings failed to meet the government’s own 60% utilization benchmark. That means only about ONE IN TEN met the standard. Taxpayers are spending hundreds of millions of dollars every year…
