Isaias is no Irma or Matthew or Michael - thankfully
Read full article: Isaias is no Irma or Matthew or Michael - thankfullyJACKSONVILLE, Fla. Isaias has weakened considerably and is probably no longer a hurricane, but as a comparison to what the State of Florida has seen, Michael (Cat 5, Mexico Beach, 2018), Irma (Cat 4, Entire State, 2017) and Matthew (Cat 3, East Coast, 2016) Isaias has always been more bark than reality. Hopefully this will continue. Still anticipated to remain on the expected track, Isaias may slow down and drift a little left of the current National Hurricane Center track, that is just east of the State. That track was based on maintaining hurricane status. Even as a strong tropical storm, the entire East Coast of the State of Florida need to alert to regeneration of heavy flooding rains, especially right along the coast.

Read full article: White Sox top pitching prospect Kopech opts out this yearCHICAGO Chicago White Sox prized pitching prospect Michael Kopech chose Friday not to play this season and the team put star third baseman Yon Moncada and pitcher Jose Ruiz on the 10-day injured list because of unspecified ailments.

Hollywood works to improve representation of people with disabilities
Read full article: Hollywood works to improve representation of people with disabilitiesHOLLYWOOD, Calif. - The second season of SundanceTV's dramedy "This Close" opens with what would be a terrifying experience for anyone. But Michael, like Feldman, is deaf and his attempts to express his situation through sign language go increasingly to no avail. But one of the ways that storytelling, casting and hiring frequently fail to deliver is when it comes to representation of people who are disabled. Lauren Appelbaum, the vice president of communications for nonprofit and outreach group RespectAbility -- and author of guidebook "The Hollywood Disability Inclusion Toolkit"-- said this work needs to begin at entry-level employment. There are also questions of how, and when, a disabled person working in Hollywood should divulge this information to an employer.
Giant pumice stone could help heal Australia's Great Barrier Reef
Read full article: Giant pumice stone could help heal Australia's Great Barrier ReefWe could just see the edge where it went back to regular water -- shiny water -- at night," Michael added, saying they could see the rock from every direction. The pumice, which is filled with holes and cavities, floats like an iceberg does, with about 90% underwater and 10% above water, the pair explained. When the pumice makes its way to the Great Barrier Reef, the sea life attached will travel too, potentially bringing diverse new colonies of barnacles, corals and more. "This is a way for healthy, young corals to be rapidly introduced to the Great Barrier Reef," he said. In 2016 and 2017, marine heat waves caused by climate change resulted in mass bleaching, which killed about half of the corals on the Great Barrier Reef, along with many others around the world.
