In a world of skyrocketing tuition and a changing job market, is it still worth it to go to college or university? Definitely, according to new data. Researchers from New York University and Rutgers University evaluated the economic returns of pursuing higher education. They compared the lifetime earnings of almost 6 million people, some of whom hold a bachelor’s degree, some with only a high school diploma. They discovered a big financial advantage for college grads, with an estimated annual return on investment (ROI) of 9.88% for women and 9.06% for men. That represents the average yearly financial gain one can expect from their degree over the course of their career, compared to the costs of college education. As the researchers pointed out: “On average, a college degree offers better returns than the stock market.” They determined that fields such as engineering and computer science boasted the highest financial rewards, boosting median returns to more than 13%.

A
campaign in the UK is urging tech giants to stop autocorrecting
people’s names. Research shows that 41% of the most popular recent
UK baby names are routinely flagged as errors by autocorrect. “I am
Not A Typo” is asking device makers to “correct autocorrect” in
the name of equality. Those behind the effort said: “Our names are
the most important words in our lives – part of our identity. Our
children should not be ‘othered’ by the technology that is
integral to their lives.” LINK: https://www.iamnotatypo.org/

‘Popeye’ is sailing back to the big screen. The iconic spinach-eater, who first appeared in comic strips in the 1920s, will be the subject of a new big-budget feature film, currently in development. This is the first live-action revisiting of the character since the 1980 film “Popeye,” led by Robin Willians. Directed by Robert Altman and co-starring Shelley Duvall as the quirky love interest ‘Olive Oyl’, the film was panned upon release but has since gained cult status and critical reconsideration.
Conor McGregor says his role in the new “Road House” reboot (on Amazon Prime) is just the beginning. When asked about his future show biz aspirations, the UFC superstar said “of course” he’s planning to keep pursuing his new career. While it’s unclear exactly what’s next for the 35-year-old, when he was asked if he has more roles lined up, he quickly responded: “For sure, for sure!” As for how his first job in the industry went, early reviews for the Road House reimagining are positive, and there are no doubts that McGregor knows how to kick butt on command, and on cam. He’s also keeping up with his day job — training for an upcoming bout with Michael Chandler.
Sharon Stone says she’ll only return to Hollywood if she’s offered a really good part, after swapping acting for painting. The 66-year-old “Basic Instinct” star walked away from her movie career to focus on her love of art instead, but admitted she would happily return to the big screen if the right role came up. She told the Guardian newspaper that she “absolutely loved” working as an actress, and “If someone offers me a substantial role, I’m going to take it.

Plans have been revealed for what will be the world’s largest airplane. The “WindRunner,” designed by Colorado-based energy company Radia, is an enormous cargo carrier measuring a whopping 356 feet (109m) long and 79 feet (24m) tall, with a wingspan of 261 feet (80m). That’s almost as long as an NFL football field and 127 feet longer than the world’s largest passenger plane. And by the way, to accommodate the jumbo jet’s landing, a 6,000-foot runway will also need to be constructed.

FAMOUS BRANDS THAT USED TO SELL SOMETHING ELSE:
➢ Lamborghini Started Out Making Tractors: At some point, a beef with Enzo Ferrari led to the company making sports cars, but it still makes tractors to this day.
➢ Shell used to literally sell shells: In the 1800s, antique dealer Marcus Samuel expanded his business by selling exotic seashells. This required a large import/export infrastructure. When he died, his sons took over and developed an interest in importing and exporting oil.
➢ Avon used to sell books: In the 1800s, founder David McConnell was a door-to-door book salesman. To get his foot in the door, he offered women a free vial of perfume that he made himself. It turned out that his perfume was much more popular than the books.
➢ Mazda made corks: The company was founded in 1920 as the Toyo Cork Kogyo Co in Japan. After about a decade, the company did a complete 180 and got into manufacturing vehicles.
➢ Samsung was basically a general store: Founded as Samsung Sanghoe in 1938, it sold dried fish, noodles and other groceries. By the 1950s, the company was branching out into insurance, construction, and even a theme park. But electronics turned out to be their big money maker.
➢ Taco Bell was originally a hot dog stand: In 1948, Glen Bell ran Bell’s Drive-In, selling hot dogs and burgers. But he noticed the popularity of the cafĂ© across the street, which sold tacos. He got friendly with staff there, learned their recipes, and opened his first taco stand in 1951.
➢ Play Doh Started as Wallpaper Cleaner: The company was a struggling soap manufacturer that started making wallpaper cleaner, at a time when coal soot was an issue inside people’s homes. A relative of one of the owners had a daycare and gave some of the wallpaper cleaner to the kids to play with — and they loved it. The formula was adjusted by adding color and a scent — and Play Doh was born.
➢ Louis Vuitton was a Box Maker: 13-year-old Louis worked as a packer, making fancy custom boxes for various goods. He was so skilled, he was hired by Napoleon’s wife, and eventually developed a line of travel trunks. His family carried on in the business, expanding to all kinds of high-end, elegant products.
➢ Nintendo Made Playing Cards: The company predates not just video games but even electricity, in most homes. They started way back in 1889 in Kyoto, Japan as a playing card business.
➢ NASCAR started as a group of bootleggers: The largest stock car racing organization in the world has roots in an era when drivers ran bootleg whiskey in the US. They typically used small, fast vehicles to evade police. Many drivers would modify their cars for speed, handling, and increased cargo capacity.
