It
may be unlikely that you ever have a chance to travel to outer space,
but your name can. NASA is collecting names to be put on a flash
drive and sent into space on the Orion spacecraft, scheduled to
launch later this year. The initiative is part of the agency’s
uncrewed “Artemis I” mission, which is the first mission of the
Artemis program to eventually return astronauts to the moon. It’s
free to add your name to the flash drive, which NASA says is a way to
get people excited about the program and “inspire the next
generation.” Since opening the submissions earlier this month, the
space agency has already received over one million names.

Host Rebel Wilson opened the U.K.’s BAFTA film awards by making jokes about her recent weight loss, James Bond, the pandemic, and J.K. Rowling’s controversial statements about the transgender community. She took to the stage in a sparkly red gown, explaining that she “might look a bit different” from the last time the audience had seen her, because “since then I’ve done quite a transformation — I hope J.K. Rowling still approves.” Wilson, who shed more than 70 pounds (31kg) after kicking off her self-proclaimed “year of health” in 2020, also joked that her slim-down would help her out in Hollywood, saying “Now I can play the non-funny love interest in an Adam Sandler film.”
Jussie Smollett began his 150-day jail sentence for staging a hate crime against himself in protective custody, separated from other detainees and watched by security cameras and an officer. Judge James Linn sentenced him to 30 months of felony probation — starting with a 5-month term in jail — for lying to police that he had been the target of a racist and homophobic attack. Smollett loudly maintained his innocence and suggested he could be killed in jail.
SCOOP OF THE DAY: Brought to you by BetterCreditCards.com
A British father who nearly threw out a rare Harry Potter first edition has sold it at auction in the UK for the equivalent of US $90,000. He pre-ordered the first edition of JK Rowling’s “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” from a bookstore in 1997 for $17.00, but almost returned it because it came without a dust jacket. The man, a collector, said: “Being the first edition, I expected it to have one”, but he decided to hang onto the book on the toss of a coin, which he calls “a moment of destiny.” He later found out the hardback first issues of “Philosopher’s Stone” (called “Sorcerer’s Stone” in the US) did not come with a dust cover.
With
the problem of plastic pollution being labeled a catastrophic
environmental concern, burger chain A&W Canada is testing
something that might help. This month, A&W is piloting the
“ButterflyCup”. The ButterflyCup is made entirely from thick,
biodegradable cardboard, overcoming the need for a lid or lining. The
user simply “creates” a lid by making 2 simple folds. It is
constructed with natural paper sourced from forests certified as
sustainable. And even if improperly disposed of as litter, the cup
biodegrades naturally, a vast improvement over the traditional
throwaway cups used by fast food restaurants and coffee shops, which
usually aren’t accepted by recyclers because of the plastic
coating. The cups are labeled: “No lid. No plastic. No
problem.”

A Canadian company is attracting attention for its new policy, where it pays candidates for a job interview. Non-profit organization FoodShare Toronto says that since March 1, it has been paying job applicants $75 per interview conducted with the company. Foodshare says it is recognizing the fact that people sometimes have to take time off their current job to go to an interview, there are travel costs, perhaps childcare expenses, and “employers should be paying for that.” CEO Paul Taylor believes “employers have gotten off scott-free for far too long” in expecting job candidates to bear the costs of auditioning for a job. The company also pays candidates, at the rate of pay for the job they’re applying to, if they’re required to do any presentation or assignment as part of the interview process.
